If Mr.. James o'Brien, who removed from
Missouri to Texas some time in June or Ju-
ly last, and is supposed to be now living in
Collin or one of the adjoining counties, will
call at the Messenger office, or make his
post office address known, he will learn
something that will interest him.-McRm-
ney Messenger.
On Thursday of last week, James NJ. Mil
lican, a citizen of this county, was shot and
very severely, perhaps MORALLY wounded
by one Nathan Petty, who is now at large.
The shooting took place, we are Informed,
at the house of the Widow Shelton, about IA
miles northeast of town.-Ibid.
Messrs. Murray & Grisham have received
their printing press and We presume the
Inquirer will make its appearance in few
weeks.-IJid.

Col. G.. w. Crawford has left on
our table copy IF Cupid's AL
bum" a sprightly aud entertaining
book published for the benefit of
the family Of Gen. Sterling Price.
The eminent sacrifices made by the
General in the cause of the Confed-
eracy, and the high patriotism and
unselfshness which characterized
him, from first to last, are still fresh
in the minds of all our people
Sending his family to Texas, where
they were loved and admired as
widely as they were known, he
went wherever the call OF duty de-
manded, leaving the earnings of a
lifetime within the lines Of the en-
envy where, Of course, they were
appropriated. After the close of
the war. a few friends provided
means for Mrs. Price and family to
Join her husband in Mexican exile.
All Of this provision was lost by
shipwreck; and this noble family
IS now pennilcss in the land OF
strangers. To relieve them as Ear
ss may be, the liberal authoress Of
this book has had it published for
their benefit, and our booksellers
here-Cushing & Cave, J. T. Mason
and Walter Robinson-are selling
It for THAT object without commits

Loss OF THE BRIG RIvAL.-The
Merchants of Houston have again
suffered serious loss in the wreck
of the Brig Rival, one Of the line of
the Houston Direct Navigation
Company, from New York to Gal
weston. She was lost off the Great
Abaco, one of the Bahama Islands,
in the late great storm, which prov
ed so destructive to the shipping on
the Atlantic coast. The cargo con-
sisted of goods consigned to mer-
chants of this city, and amounted
to several hundred thousand dollars
in value, all, however covered by
insurance, principally in Northern
Companies. The loss to the Hous-
ton Insurance Company, we are re-
liably informed, will not exceed
$1,000. The loss to the Navigation
Company is not materil, as the YES
sci was chartered only-not owned
by the Company. The most serious
loss to our merchants from this dis
aster will result from the delay in
receiving their stocks, a drawback
already seriously felt. Their in,
domitable energy, however, will
soon overcome this obstacle to the
commercial prosperity of the city

TnE FIFTEEN DOLLAR SEWING MACHINE
Judging from the remarks Of the Houston
dailies, us also from the words Of praise
that come to us from parties who have pur-
chased and are using the Fifteen Dollar
Family Sewing Machine, We are free TO pre-
diet that ere long almost every family In
the State will be supplied with one of these
truly useful little labor savers. The main
features Of this machine seem to be Its sim.
plcity and cheapness, while 1t possesses all
the capacities for work Of the high-price cd
complicated machines. Heretofore people
have feared to invest money (say $50 to
Sl00) in piece OF mechanism the intricate
complications of which they could not read.
lily understands but now that an opportu-
nifty is offered 20 all for the purchase of n
Sewing Machine which no one can with
bu. the aid Of the circular of instructions)
fail TO comprehend, we bespeak q general
distribution Of these machines throughout
the entire State. W. BRYANT & Co.. every
body knows Bryant, the Prince Of News
Dealers, Houston has them for sale; and
our word for II, any order sent to him, ei-
Their for Sewing Machines, Literature, Mu-
sic, Stationery, etc., etc, will be promptly
attended to.

The Hon. John Van Buren,, on,

The Hon. John Van Buren,, one
of tho most distinguished Of the
politicians of Now York, died on
the steamer Scotia on his way home
from Europe, IIo was the son OF
President Martin Van Buren, and
whilst his father was the Chief EX'
ecutive of this country, his son then
in the prime Of life and one OF the
handsomcst men of the day, visited
Europe at the time that the young
Queen Victoria was looking from
among the Princes Of the Earth to
select a partner for her throne. IL
is said that the aspiring American
made an effort for the coveted posi-.
ton, and from that moment, he was
given the sobriquet Of "Prince
john" He was a lawyer Of extra
ordinary ability, q statesman Of lib
eral and philosophical views, and Il
gentleman in manner, education
and disposition.
The New York Democracy are
losing their prominent leaders fast
and we can see no one to take their
places.--HouSton Journal.

MLITARY.-We understand from COM
petent authority that General Heintzelman,
commander of the Military Department of
Texas, is shortly to move his Heae Quarters
to this city. Nothing could crafty us bet
ter than this bit of intelligence, and we are
certain our citizens generally with per-
haps the exception of the editor of the
German Free Press) will be highly pleased
to see the General again among US. AS it
appears from recent order that most of
the military force of the State is soon to
commence active operations against the
Indians on our frontier, this point is much
more convenient for his headquarters than
Galveston, which we presume IS the reason
that leads the General to make the change

Our New PURcHAsE.-It is pref
ty well known that the United
States have been for some time anx-
ious to secure in the Mediterranean
q depot for coal and other naval
stores. 1t is announced that they
have purchased the Island of Melos
in the Grecian Archipelago, and
that the purchase only awaits the
confirmation of the Senate. This
island is thus described by the ge-
Ographers;
The Island of Mclos, or Milo, (thc
former being the ancient name) has
an area of sixty five square miles,
and a population Of about four thou

coast, one of the best harbors in the
Levant. 1t is Of volcanic forma-
ton, and contains hot mineral
springs, and mines of sulphur, Wit

and almostsdepopulated. Its site Is
near that Of the ancient metropolis,
of which extensive ruins still re-
main. Melos was first colonized by
the Phnnicians, and afterwards by
the Lacedemonians. 1t was at one
time rich and populous, but was ru-
ined by the Peloponesian war, du-
ring which the Athcnians captured
the capital, put its adult male popu-
lation to death, and carried off the
women and children as slaves, B. G.

respondent Of tn. \. o. picayune.
writing under date Of the 22d uit.'
says:
The great question now here 49,
what is the legal effect of the Presi-
dents peace proclamation ! Does It
abrogate and put an end to martial
law IN the Southern States and does
it restore the writ of habras corr US
Their. ought not to have be-n amy
doubt upon the subject, As the Ian
guage OF the proclamation Is certain
" plain enough. But the doubts
have arisen from the very strange de-
cision Of Judge Underwood. OF Vir-
xiuia, refusing to grant writ OF ha-
beas corpus, aud declaring that the
Presidents proclamation had not re,
stored that writ to Virginia; and
from singular letter from the wal
Department, signed by the Adjutan'
officer i. Georgia. in which the lat
ter is instructed that martial law Ii
not removed by the Presidcnt's pro
clama,ion. In regard to the extra
ordinary action of udge Underwood
no sooner was it brought to the no
tice of President johnson than
directed the Attorney General to OF
der Judge Underwood to grant ~
writ, and to instruct him at the sam
time that the writ Of habeas corp.
was hereafter to be granted. IN
proper cases, the same as before II
war. In regard to the strange lett
from the War Department. ailud'
to above, l have ascertained that
was written without the knowlede
sanction, or approval OF the fre'
dent. and that it does not at all
press the meaning or intention OF 1
proclamation. The latter does N
indeed, say that martial law Is he
by abolished in the Southern Sta
and the habeas corpus restored. I
it does say that martial law was
claimed and the habeas corpus s
pended, in order that certain obj
might be accomplished. and that 4
object is accomplished and It'll.
fore, that the Southern States
vert to that condition in which Il
existed before the habeas corpus
suspended and martial law prscia
ed. Your readers may rely upor
that is the meaning and intention
the proclamation, as will soon
made manifest.
