lie, relying alone upon the resources with
which nature had richly endowed LIN, by
dlnt Of energy aud aPpleallen, he soon
took position As lawyeF In 1850 he was
elected District Aliegaey, In 1852, be was
ro'e'ecttdl prl ia 1856 he was elevated to
the judicial bench Of his DistrieL-lhen but
% years old--whieh position he filled with
aa ability that would have done honor TO
older heads. In 1851 he resigned the Judge
ship and volunteered as private In Goods
Battery; was afterwards promoted TO the
rank OF Colonel Of Cavalry, in the COnfed'
crate service, We thus see that step by
step he rose and prospered in the confidence
Of the people. The unsettled and threat
ening condition Of our political affairs,
presents new and inviting field to his ac-
tive and vigorous intellect, And we pre-
diet that the force Of his mind will be i'm
pressed upon the final adjustment Of the
ycKed questions.
Being first to bring forward his name for
Speaker VIC claim a share Of the honor con-
ferred with that feeling, however, that
prompts the patriot when ho consciously
feels that every impulse OF his heart is for
the prosperity Of his country.
We also see from the proceedings of the
Senate, that our talented friend and towns
mon, Capt. Record has been made Chair
man Of the Committee on Judiciary; this
virtually makes him the leading member
in this body, position to which his tai
erts, energy and industry we'll qualify him
to occupy.
Capt. Record, though quite young man
the youngest We understand in the Sem
ate-has already given unmistakeable evil
dence of possessing high order of talent,
placing him in the front rank Of the rising
men of the State, and We confidently pre-
dict fer him a brilliant career, not only in
the State Senate bu, also in wider fields of
usefulness.

among the people Of the Northern States,

His recent visit was expressly for the pur-
pose Of truly representing our condition,
and the sentiment Of the people, to the

Mr.. johnson, and the leading conserva-
tive men of the North have every conf
dence in his loyalty and devotion to the
government, Mr., Eppcrson is known
throughout the North as m original Union
man, but when ihs war commenced he ad-
herea TO the South. Now, hO is regarded,
both in the North aud at home, as one Oft the
most influential Of the many prominent
men In the country who are laboring hon.
estly TO restore harmony and good feeling
between the two sections, and permanent
and satisfactory adjustment Of our domcs-
tic troubles. In saying this much, we Dc
not wish to DO understood as disparaging
the claims Of other gentlemen in the State
who are emineutly qualified for the posi-
ton. But the salvation Of the country de-
ponds upon the discrcetness OF the friends
Of the President at the South. We must
elect men to Congress whose reputation for
devotion to the country is unquesiioned at
Washington. Every step in this direction
strengthens the hands of those. patriots
north, who are so earnestly laboring in be
half of the South.
We trust our present Legislature will net
with great prudence in their choice Of SEN
atOrs. Upon their action may rest the fu.

The Inauguration of the Governor and
Lieutanant-G Governor, on Thursday last,
was an imposing and interesting ceremony.
At an early hour, the Hall and Gallery
OF the House was crowded with large con.
course Of citizens and strangers, including
the beauty and fashion of our city, The
civil and military authorities Of the United
States were present, and the various officers
Of the Provisional Government. After the
Senate was seated, the Band of the 9th
Cavalry, stationed in the Gallery, played
the National Air Of "The Red, White and
Blue" The Chaplain Of the Senate, the
Rev. J. W. Philips, delivered very appro-
pirate and impressive prayer. Then the
Hon. ]. II. Bell, Secretary of Stale, present
ed the Hon. ]. w. Throckmorton, Governor
elect, who was received with applause.
His address, which will be found on orr
fret page will be read with great interest
and pleasure, as it was listened to by the
assembled crowd with marked appreciation.
1t breathes throughout the spirit Of patriot
ism, and is worthy of himself and the greet
and loyal State, over which he has en-
called to preside. We presume the Legis-
lature will order large number Of copies
printed for distribution. II will do much
good At the conclusion ofthe address, the
oath was administered by the Hon. I. H..
Duval, U. S. District Judge
The Honorable Secretary Of State then
introduced the Hon. G. W. Jones' Lieut..
Governor elect, who addressed the assembly
in an eloquent speech, which We, also, have
the pleasure Of laying before our readers.
1t was received with much applause. The
oath of Office was then administered to him.
The ceremony then closed with National
Airs by the Band. Everything was well
conducted, and the utmost harmony and
good feeling seemed to prevail. Long life
to the State of Texas and its noble anu
patriotic Chief Qaicers!

B9rWe have been Informed Of various
crops Of wheat in this county turning out
much better than was anticipated q few
weeks since. One crop, small one, in the
Southwestern part of the county, threshed
out 81 bushels to the acre; another near it,
% bushels; but we believe the average of
the county will be about II or 10. Some
insist that this is too high an estimate, and
they may honestly think so, from the crops
in their immediate vicinity, but we have
come to the conclusion from reports from
all parts Of the county, that the crop will
average at least 10 bushels to tho acre.

Some citizens who live long way south
OF this, passed through our town few days
ago, in close pursuit Of two horse thieves,
who were making their way north with
stolen horses. In few days the pursuers
returned, having recovered the property;
but the thieves as usual, in such case, made
their escape. Our opinion is, that, that
'tother country, which they may land in,
will not have so good horses as ths.-ka,y-
