TEXAS.
Bj a resident of Texas. who came pas- j
•eager in ihe Texian schooner of war In-'
dependence, we are informed that the
political affairs of this country were in a
very tranquil state, and a stronccvidence;
had" been given by the people of their ile-:
termination to support the executive gov-1
ernnient. The order or writ for the elec
tions of President, Vice President, Sena
tors and Representatives, had been issued
by the executive cabinet, and will take
place on the first Monday in September,
and Congress will convene the third
Monday in October. It was proposed to
the citizens of Texas by the Government,
that they should invest the Members of
Congress with conventional powers to
alter and amend the constitution, made
by the late Convention, inasmuch as the
disarranged state of the country had pre
vented its being printed and circulated
amongst the inhabitants. Gen. Stephen
F. Austin is a candidate for the Presi
dential chair. Dr. 15. T. Archer having
declined, and declared his determination
of supporting Gen. Austin for that office.
It was understood that Dr. Archer would
be voted for as Senator.
The spies which had been sent by the
Texian army to the banks of the Rio
Grande, reported the Mexican army inac
tive at Matamoras. There was no ex
pectation of any movement towards Tex
as, as extreme drought and want of wa
ter renders.such step impracticable ;and
besides, it is well understood that the
Mexicans who have once visited Texas
have lost all taste for the cminlry, and
are not likely to relish a return. The
nrmy, by the official reports, from 2.5 to
2700 strong, and the Government would
form an army of reserve on the Ul asus or
Trinity of 2000 men.
We further learn by the arrival of the
Independence, that the port of Matnmo
ras is blockaded by throe armed Texian
schrs., and that a large land force is in
preparation to march upon it, and co
operate with the fleet. All the inhabi
tants of Matamoras without distinction of
alienage, were subjected to contributions
for tho support of the place.
The Mexican schooner, commanded by
Thompson (of San Felippe memory,) was
lost on her passage from Matamoras to
VeraCrauz, and all perished, saving the
captain and two marines.
I'he Mexican brig Vended or Del Ala
mo, on a cruize from Vera Cruz to Mata
moras, was forced to return in conse
quence of having 100 many guns. Upon
the whole the horizon of Mexican allaits
is more and more clouded, while Ihe Star
of Texas is greatly in the ascendant.

The following letter from Fairfax Cat
elet, Esq. laic of this city, gives us some
interesting information from Texas.
Velasco, July 20, 1826.
Our army is still at Victoria, upon (lie
river Gauualoupc. Lamar had arrived
there agreeably to (lie last, accounts, and
presented himself as Commandcr-in-
Chiefof the Texian lorces; but with all
his popularity was unable to obtain the
concurrence of the army with the wishes
of the cabinet. The question was put to
vote, whether he should enjoy the chief
command, or Rusk continue in his for
mer capacity', until tho arrival of Gen.
Houston. The matter was decided by
an overwhelming majority in favor of the
two latter gentlemen ; so that Rusk re
mains Brigadier General Commanding,
and the authority of Major General Hous
ton will be recognised so soon as he ar
rives in camp. Lamar is said to have be
haved in his usual disinterested and pa
triotic manner.
The army in the. field at (his time is
two thousand strong. Col. Wilson’s re
giment wiH &Kin be in marching order.
The whole country is up ami moving on
to camp. The old settlors are deter
mined to redeem their injured credit, —
undeservedly injured, ns the great ma
jority of them could not have acted dif
ferently, and secured their families from
the blood-thirsty violence of a ruthless
and semi-barbarous foe, and they
are now flocking onwards, to prove loan
inviduous world that their arms are as
strong, and the spirit of liberty burning
as brightly in their hearts, as it ever did
iii the olden time, when the independence
of flieir mother country was in its cra
dle, and rocking amid the elements ol
internal discord and foreign recklessness:
Felix Houston has been promoted to
the rank of Brigr. General by brevet.
Green still enjoys the commission which
he appeared to prize so highly in New
Orleans.—They are both in camp. Santa
Anna, the ill fated and fallen despot is
now at Columbia, and has the pleasing
anticipation of being shortly escorted to
the army, and there receiving his sen
tence—a detachment has been ordered
in for the purpose. You may bear of a
catastrophe before many weeks have
elapsed. I anticipate u with positive
certainty-—Miserable indecision in not
having inflicted upon him “ death or
worse punishment” immediately after his
capture, when the act would have been
Upheld and justified by the whole civil
ized world.
Genl. Rusk, has ordered the Mexican
families on the Guadaloupe.and La Baca,
and all those who were likely toall'ord in
formation to the enemy to retire upon the
* Rio Grande, nr take themselves off to the
Colorado. Carbajal De Leon, and some
others, intend making a summer sojourn
in New Orleans. Health to them 1
There arc said to be no Mexican troops
cm this side of the Rio Grande. Titov
are preparing to make a desperate effort
to heal their wounded honor, and recover
possession of this paradise—a garden, in
which such descendants of Cain were
never intended by nature or nature’s
God to live, unless to be expelled again,
with renewed ignominy; the Hon. Ex-
President John Quincy Adams to the
contrary, notwithstanding. That they
are calling up all their resources and at
this moment straining every nerve for
the purpose of making a sudden and for
midable descent upon us, is too apparent
to need substantiation. I am strongly
inclined to believe that their present in
tention is to make a combined and sim
ultaneous attack by land and sea.
At all events we should be prepared for
the crisis, and surely our friends in the;
United States will aid us in obtaining a
sloop of war, or at least an eighteen gun ;
brig. lam obliged to break oil here, as
the vessel is Just getting under weigh.

( From the Util /liver Gazette, July 23.
By ajtenllcman (Mr. Perkins) who ar
rived hwe on Tuesday last from Texas,
J we are informed that Captains Cai nes,
Miller and H. Teal, together with other
Eirisoncrs, who were so treacherously ta
,en by the Mexieansnt Matamoras, have
; since been liberated with the exception \
|of Henry Teal. The reason why Teal |
wasdefained is not known. Caps. Carnes \
Would not leave the place, but remained
with Teal—the others went to join the
Texian army on the Colorado.
News have readied us, stating that (he
Mexican army is again retreating to Ma
tamoras, in consequence of the cholera
having broken out among them, and com
mitting great destruction.
We would advise them to keep in the
shade, during summer, for the preserva
tion of their complexion.
We learn from undoubted authority
(Mr. Allen) that several tribes of Indians
have collected on the Bulphcr Fork, in
Texas, and preparing for hostilities, in
behalf of (lie Mexicans. General Gaines
informed Mr. A. that the companv of
Dragoons would not coma down from
Fort Towson-, until further orders.

CREEK WAR.
Prom (lie letter published below, it
will be seen that the war is not yet quite
over, We are glad to see that AL
FORD led the charge, and from other
i sources to learn that he eminently dis
tinguished himself in the fight. There
is no man in the State better suited to
' cope with these savages than Maj. Al
ford. Quick in his determinations, and
active to carry his plans into execution—
fearless in battle, and by his example
1 well calculated to infuse a spirit of dar
■ ing enterprise into the most slothful of
i his followers, A man who would not
i stand in the deadly breach without flinch
ing by the side of such a leader, ought to
run the gauntlet as a coward, or be drum
med out of camp as a poltroon. His men,
> however, like himself, stood up to the
mark, and when the running was done,
the Indians it was that done it. Go a
-1 head, boys ; thrash these scoundrels in
1 every swamp, and let not enough of them
■escape to Florida to tell the tale of their
disasters.
Camp Hoxkv, fith August, 1830.
Gentlemen —After a forced march I
joined my battalion in Randolph, deter
mined, it God would, to have revenge for
the events of the fatal Sunday when my
men fought without their commander. 1
found upon my arrival that Gen. Sand
ford was pursuing the Indians with great
energy, and after exhausting himself with
personal fatigue, he took my battalion
and (’apt. Bostwick’s company of Pu
laski County, to drive for (he Indians.
We had also a few of the Baker County
hoys, under Cnpt. House: among them
are some men that can trail equal to
blood bounds. We bad not proceeded
far before the sign became certain. A
bout 2 o’clock on yesterday, we came
upon their camp ; they were entrenched
i behind sonic large pine logs, and received
ns with a brisk fire. I was struck with
the second ball that was fired ; a large
dirk knife saved me from a dangerous if
not a fatal wound ; the ball struck the
knife in my pantaloons pocket, and thus
was prevented from penetrating deeply
into my thigh, the bruise is considerable,
but will soon he well. Finding that the
enemy had the vantage ground, I de
termined at once to storm (he camp; the
order to charge, with loaded guns, was
obeyed promptly, and thus commenced
the most brilliant and impetuous charge;
the enemy made a faint effort to rally,
but a fire was opened upon them as we
went, which they could not bear; they
fled, leaving all their plunger and a fine
dinner behind them ; the traces of blood
were considerable, but they left no dead
or wounded behind them. In the pur
suit we found parts of litters very bloody,
upon which they carried their dead or
wounded. The swamp was a complete
covert to them, and they made good their
retreat. In pursuing them my men and
officers would mire in the mud, and the
march after their trail before the light
was so long and fatigueing, and wc were
■ so much exhausted, wo were compelled
to desist. Tile battalion unanimously
f voted me the present of a line rifle, taken
; on the field loaded. We took up the
, line of march for camp, and just as night
came on, made our escape from the most
’ extensive and dismal swamp I ever saw.
. My officers and men fought with great
l and unflinching firmness, and all distin
, guished themselves, especially in the cx
. coition of the order to charge. The In
| dians raised (he war whoop, but the
sound was lost in the tremendous shouts
of the charge. We had no certain means
of ascertaining the strcngtl/of the In
dians; from the size of their camp and
the amount of their victuals cooked for
dinner we could easily say they were a
hundred strong, but I am of opinion that
there was not quite that number from all
1 could see. Very respectfully,
JULIUS C. ALFORD.

■ THE VISIT TO THE HERMITAGE.
' The Joncsharough Republican notices
[ the arrival of the President at that place,
’ and confirms what we stated to be one of
the objects of the visit—to electioneer
1 for Martin Van Baron. The Republican
states, that while in Joncsborough “he o
! pcnly assumed the character of an elec
tioneering partisan.” This the journal
: properly reprobates as an example sub
versive ol the first princip’es of the Gov
ernment, and if followed up, must change
1 the Government into an elective num
-1 archv.
■ We believe that the main object of the
journey to Tennessee was to electioneer
1 ! against Judge White, towards whom the
i same vindictive feelings are now excited
1 | as were some lime since called into action
1 | towards Mr. Calhoun. The Judge has
taken the place of Mr. Calhoun—and
1 nothing that tho excess of vindictiveness
can prompt will be omitted to prostrate
the Judge in Tennessee. He wishes to
make it a contest, not between Jud<>a;
I White and Mr. Van Huron, but between
■j himself and the Judge, and to keep the
I former as much as possible in the baek
j ground. We are not sorry that Gen.
Jackson has assumed this ground. We
rejoice that he comes out so openly in sup
port of his nominee. He will' be, he
must be defeated, and the defeat of the
principle he maintains will thus be the
more signal.
The Republican mentions another fact
which will astonish those who do not
know that the vindictive feelings of the
President extend to every thing connec
ted with those towards whom he has hos
-1 tility.
No better evidence of this could be ad
duced than the fact stated by the Repub
lican, of the hostility of the President to
the rail road contemplated and now in
progress of survey, between Charleston,
Knoxville and Cincinnati. Strange as it
may seem, yet the President denounces
that uiulctjtoking, under, as the Republi
can says, "some vague suspicion of its
being somehow connected with party po
litics.” What a commentary does this
(net furnish on the patriotism of Gen.
Jackson! Vindiction must have blinded
Ids intellect, and rooted up every thing
noble and magnanimous in his disposi
tion, if there ever was any thing of the
kind inhabiting there. Who could have
supposed that a single individual in Tcn-
C nessee could be found opposed to that
work ? Who could have supposed that,
in the whole of these United States, there
could be found one single individual so
reckless as to express “a decided opposi
tion” toil? We should have supposed
there would have been none. And yet
wc see there is one—and that one the
President of the United States; and he,
because he has imagined that politics has
something to do with the rail road.
The true cause of this hostility to the
rail road is, (he active part which Gen.
Haync, Mr. Calhoun, and other South
Carolinians have taken in it. General
1 I fayne is the President of.the Board of
Directors. Mr. Calhoun and Governor
McDuffie have shown in various ways
the deep interest they feel in the success
of the undertaking; and the pent up ha
. (red which finds no direct outlet in rela
tion to them, finds vent in opposition to
this measure. Poor human nature ! In
| what disgraceful, degrading positions does
1 it place itself, under the influence of these
vile passions of “ envy, hatred, and all
| uncliurilableiicss.”

Buffalo, Aug. 4.— Dear Sir — ln the
hurry & excitement consequent upon Mr.

[From Ihe Savannah Georgian.]
THE CENTRAL RAIL ROAD.
We are gratified to learn that the Pre
sident ami Directors of the Central Rail
Road Company have engaged Mr. John
Randall, of Delaware, a gentleman of
high standing and great experience in his
profession, as principal Engineer, and
.Mr, L. 0. Reynolds, late of this city, and
favorably known to our fellow citizens
as assistant engineer of the contemplated
Rail Road from Savannah to Macon.
Mr. Reynolds is expected to arrive here
with a party in the course of a fortnight,
and will, under the direction of Mr. Ran
dall, immediately commence the survey
of the road at Macon. Mr. Randall will
be in Georgia on or before the first day
of November next, and he will continue
to reside in the State superintending the
work until its completion. As the funds
of the company are ample, there can be no
doubt of the vigorous prosecution of this
important work, and of its completion in
the course of three years.
The Central Rail Road Bank has com
menced operations under the most favor
' able auspices. The building occupied
by the Corporation on the Bay has been
fitted up in a gtyle creditable to those
employed, and has advantages that pro
bably ho other edifice in the city presents,
| as it combines capacious rooms for all
the requisite offices of the Company with
a convenient site for public accummoda
• tion.
If we look beyond our city we find the
Georgia Rail Road Company sucecssful
■ ly carrying on its banking business under
■ the cha rtcrjgranted at tho last session of
. the legislature, and the work on the road
I from Augusta to Athens rapidly progres
i sing.
These two roads can and will, wc think,
be accomplished without pecuniary aid
; from the State.
That portion of the surplus revenue,
in the Treasury of the United States on
the first of January next, which will fall
to Georgia, can (ifaccepted in the terms
of the Deposits Law) therefore be made
auxiliary in effecting the grand commu
nication from the West and North West
to the seaboard of our State.
From the recent Report of Mr. Thomp
son, Engineer of the Athens Road, and
from information derived from other sour-
ccs, we arc induced to believe that the
proper point for the entry ot the road
from Knoxville is in Murray county.
Georgians ask but for a proper spirit on
the part of her Legislators. We trust
that we shall at least, sec a company in
corporated by our next Legislature, with
liberal aid from our State Treasury, to
construct a road from the Tennessee line
in M trray county, to a point on theChat
tahoochec whence the road can branch—
one way to Athens—another to Forsyth.
Hy such a scheme, two-thirds at least, of
the counties in Georgia, and a larger pro
portion of citizens would hedirectfybene
fitted while the people of the West would
have the three important markets of Sa
vannah, Augusta and Macon opened to
their trade.
While on this subject, we take the op
portunity to say, that we most cordially
approve the contemplated Convention at
Macon, in November next, and feel it to
he highly important that this city and
country should be ably represented there
Our fellow citizens will doubtless send
to the Macon Convention a delegation
equal in talent and public spirit to that
wliich so ably represented us at Knox
ville.
UNITED STATES TELEGRAPH.
Tothk Public.— ln assuming the cd
itofial department of the Telegraph, w<
ask leave briefly to state to its patrons &
the public, the principles by which out
course will be regulated, and the objects
we have in view.
That the ‘world is governed too mveh,
is a maxim whose truth all men seem dis
. posed to allow. It is, indeed, the sub
stance of all political history. Jn even
age and country it has been universal it
its application ; and our own government
so far from claiming any exemption, is
daily and hourly adding to the evidences
of its truth. In support of this, we rea
1 son not upon the natural tendencies o
power to accumulation—we appeal to ex
' perience, and ask hut a fair, honest am
impartial examination of (he events con
ncctcd with its history, during the las
few years. The man who will do justici
to himself in this examination, and ye
find need of other proofs, must love hi
prejudices with a dangerous devotion
. and would doubt the approaches of des
potism even under the admonitions ot tin
bow-string and the bastinado.
To arrest the progress of this evil, hi
urging the necessity of confining tin
Government strictly to the terms hy
which its powers were created and con
ferred, will be the end to which the effort!
of the Tclegurph will be chiefly directed
- And as a means to this end, we shall laboi
assiduously to revive, disseminate am
maintain the doctrines of the ’9B
of statesmen—those principles of stric
constitutional construction, which, by
upholding (he sovereignty of the States,
and at the same time restraining the ex
cessive action of the Federal Govern
ment, can alnne secure the blessings ol
our complex political system —the peace
harmony, prosperity and independence ol
the Republic.
That there have been, and, perhaps
still arc many, very many worthy am
intelligent men who regard a strong cen
(ml government hs essential to the pre
servation (if our Liiion—as the only safe
guard against a probable dismemberment
of its parts,—may he true. Without
doubling the sincerity of the opinion (an
opinion, however, which, in our humble
judgment is founded in an erroneous es
timate both of the theory of our institu
tions and the character of the times in
which we live,) there is none, in our
view, which has been productive of more
mischief. It is directly calculated to
give additional momentum to the inher
ent tendencies of this, as of every other
Government, to concentration and des
potism : and to its influence is chiefly. i(
not exclusively", to be traced all the evils
wliich have developed themselves in the
administration of its powers since its
foundation; and especially the abuses of
the last few years. The permanency ot
our system ofgovermncnt, founded, as if
was, in i\w'affections of the people, and
not in force, can only rest securely on the
basis of its benevolent and equal action ;
and not on its coercive powers, granted
or assumed. Every assumption of power
is a step towards consolidation; and by
inevitable consequence, tends directly to
disunion or despotism, by bringing into
conflict not only the constituent princi
ples of the system themselves, but the
interests of the various sections of the
Union, and the passions.with which those
interests are inseparably connected. Ah
powers not granted In/ the Constitution
to the Federal Government, nor prohibit
ed by it to the Stales, are reserved in tin
Stales respectively, or to the People; and,
therefore, if we would preserve our insti
tutions, we must keep the Government
strictly to the letter of its powers. Nc
motive, no promised end, no pretext
whatsoever, ought to be received even as
an excuse for the exercise of a doubtful
power.
These are the doctrines sanctioned b\
the Republican party in the celebrated
contest which ended in the election ol
Mr. Jefferson to the Presidency; and
these we shall steadily inculcate anil
defend. In the madness and contusion
of parties which have prevailed during
the last few years, they have either been
forgotten, or trampled under foot; and
we now realize the consequences, in the
wanton extravagancies of power and the
reckless abuses of patronage. The one
has made the Constitution a dead Letter,
—a mockery of right; while the other
has‘converted the Government into a
mere engine of party—crowding the de
partments of State with sycophants and
parasites—plundering the public cullers
for the means of reward—squandering
the public treasure in wanton waste on
wild schemes and wicked emissaries—
deranging the whole monetary system,
and involving thousands in ruin for (lie
purpose of promoting (he political for
tunes of particular favorites —perverting
the essential principles of representation
by interfering with the freedom of elec
tions—and polluting the fountains of jus
tice, by filling the halls of legislation
with servility and corruption; while in
ever quarter of the country, discord and
confusion have undisputed sway. The
Genius of Misrule could not have desired
more to degrade us in the eres of the
world, and to cast doubt and darkness
upon our future destiny as a nation. The
times call loundly for retrenchment and
reform ; and the honest and reflecting
men of all parties should co-operate in
' the work. To this end (the columns of
I the Telegraph will always be opened, and -|
• counsel and contributions are solicited J
i from every quarter. Many arc the abuses tr
t to correct; and though we cannot promise v
- much in the efforts of a single press, yet P
i something may be done towards healing
o the numerous disorders which have found
e theif origin and support in the misrule ol -
- this Administration. There is no just
- cause to despair ot the Republic, gloomy
• as the prospect may seem. The late f
f events in Congress afford strong indica
lions of returning reflection; and the °
s- passage of the deposite bill holds out the e
d hope of substantial aid, by wresting from "
- the hands of Government, for a time, the n
0 means of corruption. At all events, the ,■
friends of the Republic have but to do <1
• their dutv> Let their banner he that of n
Y the CONSTITUTION and the UN ION, "
it and their watch-word RETRENCH
•» MENTand REFORM. We must go ,
d for a close construction of the grants ot
-• power, for the purity of the elective
d franchise, and (he freedom of the press,
n against the fatal influence of Executive
it power and patronage —for a strict ac- I
t- countability on the part of the public t
agents —a fuM and free inquiry into 1
abuses, and a rigid economy in the ad- ]
ministration of the Government. And |
]. that these ends may beadvanced we shall ,
, e examine, freely and fearlessly, public
jk measures, and the conduct of public men, i
ip yet, we trust, with the dignity and im- '
t s partiality due to the interests involved. ;
VVe pledge ourselves that no effort shall
’ ho spared on our part, to aid in bringing
s . hack the Government to its primitive i
purity and republican simplicity, so that ■
■y the Constitution, and the blessings of
n peace and independence which it vouch
t, safes, may be preserved to us and our
j s posterity.
, s As regards the Presidential question,
j. we have only this to say: that while we
jf shall oppose the election of Mr. Van
Buren, whom we cannot regard in any
i, other light than as the mere nominee of
i- the present Chief Magistrate, and, there- '
st fore, if elected, an USURPER of the ,
;e powers of the Presidency, we hesitate
E t not to say that either Judge White or
is Gen. Harrison ought to be preferred to
ii, him, who furnishes the first instance in
s- our history wherein republicanism as
ie sumes the pretensions of monarchy, and
power seeks to perpetuate itself, by trails
iy milting, in the (rue spirit of hereditary
ie right, the honors and authority of office
y to a designated successor, in opposition
i- to all the principles heretofore deemed
Is sacred, as lying at the foundation of our
d. free institutions. It seems to us that this
jr consideration alone—to say nothing of
id other weighty objections on (he score of
01 personal qualifications and political
ct principles—ought to he sufficient to de
>y cide the judgment and stimulate the op
s, position of every honest and reflecting
c- man. The precedent ought to be met at
n- once, and put down forever.
As soon as his private engagements
e, allow, —say hy the first of September,
if or perhaps at an earlier day—the Editor
expects to commence his duties in con
9, nection with this paper.

This celebrated article has been invented hjf
one of the most eminent Physicians of the age*
and during an extensive practice of 30 years, he
invoiiuhly resorted to it in all cases of sore, weak
and inflamed Eyes, that came under his notice;
and so great a celebrity did he acquire thereby;
that they came to him from alt parts, and in ntJ
one instance was it ever known to fail introduc
ing the desired effect. A short time only has c
lapscd since this article was first introduced to
public notice, and during that period, upwards of
three thousapd bottles have been disposed of and
the demand for it is rapidly, increasing. So sure
and speedy is the effect produced by the use of
this article, hut one single vial has completely
cured an inflamed eye, though various various
remedies had been assorted to for a long time pre
vious in vain. Ample directions accompany the
article, as well as letters of recommendation ftoni
the most respectable Physicians in the country.-
With a view to insure its usefulness in a more
extensive way, the proprietor has appointed Wm.

to the most virulent stage of the disorder, even
when attended with Headache, Pain in the

the Shin and Skull bones, loss of Appetite, and
Universal Debility, &c. Witness the following
cases of cure :
A gentleman in Thomaston, was many years

throat, headache, enlargement of the glands of
the nock, skull bone affected, a bad cough, no
appetite, entirely debilitated, and considered as
past relief, having tried other medicines in vain,
was cured, and restored to perfect health, by u
few boxes of these Pills:
A young man was recently entirely cured from’
a had stage of the complaint, by using the above
medicine (to less than $3 value.) after receiving
the advice of several physicians, and using vari
ous celebrated medicines.
An invaluable property!—“ I feel myself”
(writes a person, after using these Pills) “tho
roughly cured, and believe this invaluable medi
cine has completely eradicated the complaint from
my system ; a property which I think this remedy
possesses beyond any other with which I am ac

sex can cure themselves,) encircle each box.
