r@ In tho hurry Of making up our pa
per last week, We unintentionally neglect
ed to refer to the new dispaycd advertise
ment Of T. W. House, Houston, which will
DO found in the HERALD. II is SO we'll
known TO tho people At large as the lead
ing house in the Bayou City that il is
scarcely more than necessary for US 10 re-.
fer to the advertisement itself. Mr.. Gro.
L. Porter, representing this house, spent
several days in orr city last week, and en-
livened our sanetum several times with his
genial countenance. Though young in
years, he is o veteran in his business, and
is we'll known to many Of our merchants.
T. W. House, perhaps, Is the largest Cotton
Factor In Houston, doing the bulk Of the
business in the receiving and selling Of the
staple. Mr.. Porier's principal business
was TO look after the interest Of his house
in this line, aud present TO our pcrchants
and planters his faeiiitiss fos trsnsaoting

We have reason 10 know that he made o

Last week al SERIOUS ulHCuiIS OC
aired at the Flag Springs, about
rem miles south east of this place
Tho parties engaged in the Difficult
~ are named Gowens and Brown
aud arc relativcs-Brown being
tiowcns son-in law. We give the
particulars as Our informant rccoiv,
I'd them from the lips OF old man
GowcnS:
Il seems that Gowcns sent ono OF
his sons TO tho field to cut some
corn, and while there, one Of
Browns sous came up and raised a
difficulty with him. Old man
Gowcns came out to queIl tho dis
turbance, aud his son.in law and
two other sons also came mp, armed
calling out: "kill him, kill him"
The old man tried to pacity his son
in-law and grand sons, but to no
purpose; and romarking to his son
that they must fight or die, closed
IN with Brown, and succeeded in
dispusscssing him of his gun, which
fell to tho ground in the scufflc.
Gowens' son seized the gun, shot
enc of Browns sons, killing him on
tho spot s~d one of Browns sons
stabbed Gowens with knife in
ecven or eight places, wounds con.
sidered mortal. Brown and one OF
his sons are pow ia irons at this
place, awaiting trial. Gowens de-
i,ies having any previous difficulty
with Brown, or any of the family.
Ifthe facts of the case are as above
scented, we hope that justice
mctcd out 10 tho guilty.

Htllebrand.

The past half-decade has been prolific OF
monsters, scoundrels and desperadoes.
Texas has had her share; but Missouri, in
the person of one Hildebrand, equals the
aggregate Of all the gully men Texas ever
had. This cruel creature Ind IN 10 three
or four weeks since taken the lives Of scv,
cnty fellow-mcn with his own hands, hay
ing kept The score of his murders in notch
es upon his gun-barrel. lie has uniformly
met the most formidable attempts al his
capture with the coolest defiance. lilo is
said to be assisted BY dozen low proved
s'men,' as blood thirsty and desperate, If
not as brave, rs himself. The determine
ton on the part of the populace of Mis-
souri, to capture him has SO spread and in
creased of late that he has determined to
leave that State. Texas is said to be Sc
lect ted for the thentrc of his future diablerie.
The broad, uninhabited plains Of our
State, over which many travellers with
money and drafts arc obliged to pass, are
very inviting to thieves, robbers and muir
derers, and it does not astonish us that
this superlative villain has concluded to
locate in Texas with his band of Internal
confederates. This leads US to remark that
recent events seem 10 indicate that Texas is
getting to be very dangerous country for
such characters TO operate in. Within
few weeks past no less Il al seven villians
have been mysteriously hung and otherwise
put out of the way in this region. The
peoplc of Texas are not afraid 10 take hold
of desperate, 10 matter how formidable
he may be. We have full confidence in
the virtue of the great mass of the people
of Texas, and believe that, soon after the
reconstruction of the State and the restor-
alton of civil rule, no murderer can live
long in the Lone Star State. Hence, We
predict that If Hildebrand and his mon
sters come here, they will soon swing from
the trees and the buzsards fatten upon
their filthy carcasses.

paper the correspondence between mum.
Der 81 citizens Of this Congressional DIS.
triet and Capt. John c. Conner, from
which Il viii be seen that the latter &C.
cspis the call made upon him TO become a
candidate for Congress.
Capt. CossER, has but recently come TO
this section Of the State, but has We be-
lieve, been In Texas for several years on
duty In different parts OF Western Texas.
lie is On officer Of the regular army, but
now holds the position OF County Clerk Of
Of Grayson county, by appointment lie
comes among us bearing the very best re.
concentrations, from gentlemen in this
State whom we know 10 be true men, and
devoted 10 the interest Of Texas and the
South. A native Of Indiana, he is warm
personal friend Of Senator Hendricks, Of
that State, and took an active part in the
Presidential canvass last year, during
which, VIC are told he made one hundred
speeches in favor Of SEYMOUR and BLAIR.
The Paris Press, in publishing the cor
rcspondence, makes the following remarks;
"Capt. CONNER, though stranger
to most Of us, came to Texas with
the highest credentials as high
toned gentleman and an undoubted
Democrat of the old school: He is
a Captain in the U. S. Army, and is
at present on detached duty, Shcr.
man, Texas. He is represented to
us by a friend who has known him
from boyhood, as a bold and fear
less Democrat, a gentleman of dis
tinguished ability, and, withal, pos
sessing in an eminent degree all the
qualifications necessary to mako us
a representative VINO kns the nerve
to dare and to do in advocacy Of the
rights of his constituents. He is a
fine dcbatcr, and will enter into the
canvass with VIM, and give every
ono an opportunity, to hear him
upon the issues of the day.
Although Capt. CONNER has SO
recently become a citizen of our
State, he has already identified him
self with her interests, and had,
long before being solicited to be-
come candidate for Congress, ex-
pressed his determination TO make
Texas his homo"

The FAR.-It gratifies us TO notice the
fact, that the approaching Fair of the
Dallas County Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Association is being looked forward to
with the greatest degree of interest by
young and old of both Gcxcs. Everything
has been done calculated to invite full
attendance, and the exhibition will doubt
lessly be one of the most extensive and in
teresting ever had in Northeastern Texas.
All arrangements are ample, and the
Grounds in splendid order. That there
will be large attendance from Denton,

assured and cannot doubt. We republish
