But notwithstanding these propitious times, we regret to learn that there is still com plaint about protection. The citizens of late have been more or less annoyed by Indians, who now and then are making predatory excursions into the settlements, stealing. horses, and committing other petty depredations. The United States army gives very little protection to any portion of Texas other than Corpus Christi. The army as we understand, has only been ordered to Texas to pre vent an invasion from Mexico, during the pending of the question of annexa tion ; consequently the 1 Commander is not authorized to separate or divide his troops further than necessary to watch the movements of that country.” Camanches Killed. 1 —The Houston Star of the 18th inst. says:—“We have been informed by a gentleman who left Austin a few days since that it was re ported in that city that Col. Hays lately found two hostile Camanches in the Li- E an Camp. They had two American orses with them, and it appeared evi dent that they had been engaged in some of the depredations in that section. He required the Lipaus to yield them up. and bad them execoted in presence of the whole tribe. This act of summary justice may have a salutary effect upon the few refractory Lipaus who have been disposed to adhere to Juan Castro.” Shocking Occurrence.

Philips we have Galveston dates up to Monday last, the 24th inst. The news is of little impor tance. An arrival at Galveston brings the in telligence of the loss of the barque Mary Walker, Capt. Thrane, on the bar at Aransas. No farther particulars are giv en. Speaking of the business and pros pects of Galveston, the Civilian has the following: Galveston is now full of strange faces, both European and American. The number of arrivals, thus far, has been greater, we believe, than during the cor responding period of any previous sea son. The usual period of activity has just arrived, yet the animated appear ance of things for a month and more past is such as we have only been in the hab it of seeing in a much later portion of Tjjfie season. r .President Jones has issued a procla mation, appointing the 15th of Decem- bei'mext as the day for holding the elec tion for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Senators and Representatives to the Legislature of the State of Texas. The 4 barque Strabo had arrived at Galveston from Antwerp with 200 emi grants. ‘ At a recent* meeting in Washington county, the Hpo. James B. Miller, of Fdtt Bond, was, dominated as a candi- H He immediately took him to their camp, and came to town for assistance. * The wound is represented as a very bad one, but it is not known, whether it will prove mortal or not. The men were not a ware whose plantation they were on, or to whom the negro befonged, ds they are both strangers to this vicinity.—Savan nah Republican. A “ Feast of Honor. Capt. Freemont relates that when ’he was at Fort Laramie, duriug his expedi tion to the Rocky Mountains, he was of ten invited by the Iudians to “ a feast of honor, a dog feast.” He went to one . of them, the women and children were sit ting round the lodge, and the host and his guests took seats on buffalo robes.— The dog was in a large pot over the firjs, in the middle of the lodge; immediate ly on their arrival, it was dished up in large wooden bowls, one of which was handed to each person. The flesh ap peared very glutinous, with something of the flavor and appearance of mutton.— “Feeling something move behind me, (says Captain Fremont,) I looked round, and found that I had taken my seat a- mong a litter of fat young puppies. Had I been nice in such matters the prejudi ces of civilization might have interfered with my tranquility; but, fortunately, 1 am.not of delicate nerves, and continued quietly to empty my platter. Earthquakes. Sixty-one earthquakes have occurred on the coast of Chili. An earthquake at Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, in 1775, shook all the seas of Europe, the north of Africa, and the West Indies and even Lake Ontario! It lasted only six se conds, but in that time it destroyed one quarter of the dwelling houses, all the public buildings, and 30,000 inhabitants of Lisbon. During an earthquake at Li ma, the officer of a ship says that the ship was violently tossed, the surface of the water boiled, and was covered with fishes. One of the-chain cables belong ing to the ship suffered partial fusion.— In 1765, three quarters of Lima, and 120,000 of its inhabitants were destroy ed by an earthquake. n ; Walton Sheriff ’s Sale* On the first Tuesday in JANUARY next, W ILL be sold before the court-house door in (he town of Monroe, Walton county, between the usual hours of sale, the following property, to wit: Five negroes, to wit: Eliza a girl, 18 years old, and her child Jane, 18 months old; Har riet a girl, 11 years old; Henry a boy 7 years old ; one mulatto child, Lett, about 6 oi 7 months old ; 6 jacks and 11 jinneys, 1 sorrel mare, 7 years old, 1 blind bay mare, 8 years old, 1 mare mule 3 years old, 1 yoke of oxen and cart, 4 cows and calves, 2 heifers, 2 years old ; 1 two hundred gallon still, one hundred and fifty gallon still, 1 one hundred twentv-five gallon still, 60 or 70 beer stands and hogshead ; and on Wednesday after the first Tues day in January, will be sold at the defendant's res idence, by consent of parties, 100 head of stock hogs: all levied on as the property of David Thompson, tA satisfy a fi fa issued from Walton Inferior court, in favor of Stephen Felker vs David Thompson, and James S.

THE SOUTHERN LITERARY I S a Monthly Periodical, devoted to every depart ment of Literature and the Fine Arts. It baa been established more than eleven yearn, daring which it has stood at the bead of American Period, icals. It is published in the neatest style, and con tain a great variety of interesting and instructive reading;—differing widely Irom a majority of our Publications, in the solidity and utility of its CONTENTS. ,* Novels, Tales, Poems, Travels, Essays, Criti ques, Reviews, Historical and Biographical Sketch es, Papers on the Army, Navy, General Politics and other National Interests, adorn Us pages. TO THE SO0TH AND WEST It confidently appeals for support. Whilst it is distinctively the friend and advocate of The South and West, it is not sectional, having always circu lated quite widely in the North and East, and hav ing imparted a Higher National Character to the Periodical Literature of the United States. Its motto is “In the Union and for the Union! In the South and for the South!” But the South and West should especially cherish it, as it is the only Literary Journal, of long and high standing, within all their wide borders, and has vindicated and promoted their rights and interests.
