Crockett In the South East.

We arc informed that the Southern Coun-
ties will 60 almost unanimously for Col.
Crockett for Lieut.. Governor. Taking this
in conncxion with the certainty of heavy
vote in the Southern, Middle, and Frontier
counties, we cannot but predict, that
Crockett will be our next Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Those who know him well and
know the good qualities of head and heart
that SO cminently distinguish him, will
feel rejoiccd at the fattering reception he
has met with wherever he has been.
Col Crockett is running upon his own
merits, and upon the wants Of the country.
His sound political record, his strong
Southern instincts that placed him in the
van of tho late Secession march, his culti-
valed mind and practical disposition, all
render him peculiarly fttod to be the pre-
siding officer of the Senate. His public
career, while serving this county in the
Legislature will ever be held in grateful
remembrance, by tho people Of this large
and now wealthy section Of the State. The
Colony times were peculiarly trying to the
early settlers, and the difficulties that besct
those good people were numerous and har-
RAISING. A clear practical conception of
the befoggcd techniealities that envelopcd
the ease, enabled Crockett, at once to mas
ter tho subject; but time WAS needed to re-
move the work and agencies of years
However, when the colony difficulties were
over, it was discovered that titles were
good, the settlers secured in their home
stcads, and that Crockett had gone ahead
and achieved world of benefits to the
hardy Industrious settlers, by his energy
and perseverance.

FAITH IN COLD IRoE.-Thcre is not
Texan, in the army, VIC believe, who is
not provided with bowie knife, which he
intends to use whenever he gets chance.
The Texan has an abiding faith in the steel
of the bowie knife and an earnest longing
for close quarters with the enemy. The
Malay pins his faith to the deadly kreasc,
the Comanchc, TO his bow and lance, the
IndiahSof Brazil, to their poisoned knives;
but the Texan loves his bowie knife and
wears ii with the grace Of courticr.-
lie can WELD it too as dexterously as the
Romans used the classic Short Sword,-and
when he strikes, it comes crashing, smash
ing, flashing through the skull Of the vic
tim, leaving train of stars in the place
of brains and gushing, rushing stream of
red blood from the awful rent made by the
"cnvious blade. Sometimes, the Texan
merely trims his victim,-lorping off an
arm at the shoulder joint, ,Asometimes both
ears with an ARMAND again both arms
and ears, with slice from each hip, leav-
ing the limbless trunk standing like sti ff
mullen stalk, after some mischievous boy
has denuded itofits leaves.
If the Yankee likes to try the effect of
such trining let him encounter the Texas
Regiment under Greer.

The Arms for the Regiment,

Nc arc informed by Col, Greer that in
formation has been received by him from
Capt. Bradfhie, that the arms and train
for the Regiment of Cavalry now at this
place, have iofi San Antonio, aud may lie
expected to reach Dallas at an early day.
u has been a source Of much annoyance TO
Col. Greer that 50 great adelay should have
occurred In the movement Of thet from
San Antonio. For this he is not RESPONSE
ble, having used every eSertion and the
greatest dispatch In getting the companies
together. so large body Of men aud so
widely scattered, has never before, we be-
licye, been gathered at tho rendezvous
with more promptness than On this oeca-
sion. Col. Greer has acted throughout
with the zeal and energy, demanded by the
importance Of the occasion, aud ho is not
by any means responsible for the delay
This has been the more yexatious from the
fact, that Col. Bcn. McCulloch has urged
him frequently to come on to headquarters,
the necessity for which was most impcra-
tive. That the delay has occurred nt San
Antonio is evident from the tardincss with
which they havo moved from that place.
This delay has been provoking in the cx-
trcne to the men rs well as the Command
ing officers, all Of whom are anxious to
reach headquarters and to participate in
the stirring scenes likely to come of at an
early day.
whileon this subject, we would respectful
ly suggest the great inconvenience of having
the IIcadquartcrsof the Texas Division ofthc
Confederate Army located at 5. Antonio; in
the extreme Western portion Of the State.
That city has, certainly, many claims, butwc
think il would be better to have an Eastern
and Western Division, and an Arsenal loca-
ted somewhere near Dallas or at Dallas, for
the benefit Of the regiments yet to be FORM
ed. San Antonio is so remote from this
portion of the State, that delays are un-
avoidablc, as in the present instance, land
such delays might be fatal to the success of
IN expedition. Dallas would be so nearly
central and SO nearly contiguous to the
northern border, and provisions so plcnti-
full for he men, and forage so abundant for
horses, that VIC believe it would be safe
and prudent measure, to have the Head
quarters and arsenal for the Eastern Di-
vision, located at this place. We make
these suggestions, not in q spirit Of rivalry,
but for the convenience of the army and
for the safety of the Northern border
Should this change be effected, new regi-
mcnts could be fitted out here, and be with
in two days march of Red River, region
of country, which all will admit, is now
more exposed than any other in Texas
The advantage for the subsistence of large
bodies of men, are all in favor of Dallas,
and these facts alone, entitle the suggcs-
tion to some consideration.

DISTRESSING AccIpENT.-One of the NJ ost
melancholy events that has ever marked
the history of our town, occurred yesterday,
between tho hours of one and two o'clock
young friend, James NJ. McCaulcy, of this
place; wasdrowncd while bathing with sew
eral sthcrs, in the river, short distance
above the Ferry. His companions were
poor swimmers and could not save him, but
gave the alarm and soon large number Of
friends had gathered on the bank to rem
der what assistance they could. Many Of
them jumped into the water, but were una
bio to find the hody. A negro man, Ellis,
belonging to Col. Record, dived into thf
deepest part of the stream and drew forth
the body, but after life was extinct
Every effort was made to resuscitate him
tut without success. lie was good swim
zacr, and we can only account for the acci j.
dent, by supposing that he was attacked
with npoplexy, from n determination OF
blood to the head, by jumping into the wa.
ter while he was very much heated from
previous exercise. o
This hear-rcnding accident has thrown a
gloom over our town, and the Artillery

ccrely mourn his loss. lie was universally
beloved as one of the most amiable men we
ever knew Poor fellow! his country las

for his coup telegraphic. In this act ofinean-

or six numbers taken at this office but none

of the subscribers of that sheet are men

discourse, in which he took strong grounds

people met again to call on the Almighty

ith Jaly Congress.

10 Mr.. Lincoln has called an cktra session
of the United states Congress, to meet on
4,h Jnly next, to provide the ways and
means for carrying On the war against the
South. Every free State will be rcpresen-
ted while Il il highly probable that only
three Of the Southern States will have their
representatives on the floor. IL IL barely
possible that Maryland, Delaware and
Kentucky will send their members, aud IL
R,sy now be considered a fixed fact, that
Missouri will, ere that time, be engaged in
a bitter contest against the United States
Government.
The early meeting OF Congress is an mr.
gent necessity with Mr.. Lincoln. His war
expenses already amount to nearly = mil
lion Of dollars por day, with fair prospect
for q great increase over this sum. The
theoretic Democrats of the North and a ma
jority Of those Congrsssmen from the three
Southern or Border States, will oppose tho
war measures of the Administration and
oppose the exorbitant demand for hundreds
of millions, likely to be made by Mr.. Sew
ard aud the Cabinet
When Congress meets, tho most nppall-
ing monetary convulsion will be upon the
country and the Government itself without
revenues and without the power TO impose
direct taxes. Without the heretofore ever
ready resources Of the Southern markets,
an awful prostration lies before tho next
Congress and with no power to avert it,
unless by the issue Of treasury notes at
rates that will be as ruinous as the neccs-
sity that calls them out. The creation Of
a huge national debt will bo forced upon
the country, while the government itself
will DO bankrupt. The telegraph snys
that Congress will come into the markets
fer $780, 100000, to satisfy present and
prospective demands. The creation Of this
huge debt will in no wise satisfy the
wants of tho Government; for while the
expenditures are constant and increasing,
the revenues arc entirely suspended; in
fact, the money runs out much faster than
it runs in, and there is no help for il.
Congress will find its hands full Of work,
TO raise these means. The markets have
already, during the late negotiations for
U. S. loans, spoken so plainly that the
highest rates at which, in any instance,
their bonds could bc sold, was "a. In nd
dition TO the drawbacks and embnrrass.
mcnts at that carly day anS which still ex-
ist, the Government will have to meet the
accumulated mass of Indebtedness incidcn-
tai to the active war measures now in pro-
grcss. The moncycd men of the North will
hesitate before they will receive the treas
ury bills Of a bankrupt government, ire
decmablc in.thc markets of London, Paris
and even n. York. Besat OH all sides, with
division in sentiment amongst its leading
members and threatened with. total bank
ruptcy, Congress will be forced into n
recognition of our Independence or will
rush blindly, madly upon total ruin and
perhaps encounter the -ath Of England,
in its downfall. We predict, for the 4th
July Congress, either recognition Of our
Independence, or the total destruction of
the Lincoln government.
