As our readers are all well aware, we,
haveUkén a-greAt^admirír of Bam^Uous-
ton. Oft, in times past, when his great
name was /nentioned, we have felf an awe
and reverence foi the same. Reared amid
the'dangers and hardships of a frontier life,
he has conquered obstacles and surmounted
difficulties which others would havs deem-
ed insurmountable. His whole life has
been one of toil and of triumphs, and in ail
i* varied ¿phases, his reipIenHwit i£em;is
has towered aloft as the spreading branch-
es of the sturdy oak. To the people of
Texas, his honored name has carried with it
a potency which l>'n*w no opposition. Tney
have loved biin as a father. They have
honored and revered him. And today,
Sam Houston's name is engraven upon the.
pages of Texan History as the Hero of Saiv
Jacinto and the Fat er of Texan di&érfry 1
He1 is a'-grewt man.
When we take inte consideration the
toils and privations the Oíd Hero has un
dergone for the beiiefit of T«?sas, our hearts
are wrung with the sad reflcctiou that the
same people he loved so well have had the
paiufiil 'necessity foiced ttpon thein of -re-
moving him from cilice. The sovereign
will of tlie people carries with it a ten
foldgieater weight than that of an-individ-
ual —'vox poptdi, vox Dei.
The people of Texas, in common with
her sister Slates of the^South, revolted and
withdrew from the Confederacy ot the
United "States. They declared their inali
enable right to govern themselves in tbeii
own wsy, and would not submit to aboli-
tion didtation. Texas, almost with una-
nimity, dissolved her connection with the
•United States. Delegates were elected to
a Convention to consummate secession.
Th oso'delegates vw0re invested with powers
to declare Texas out of the Union, and lo
follow that act with suitable regulations
and laws as to enable the Slate to meet any
emergency of the Úiwiffi. Great and stu-'
pendous events were daily transpiring, giv-;
ing the people of the South warning to
prepare ?/or the worst. The hostile array
of Black Republcan threats of coercion,
and the menaces of the Preá&éct of the
United States, spoke loud enough to be
heard in our Slate, and to rouse our gal-
lanttpegple to:«ctmn. We-were joined to
the Confederate States, with whom all our
-sympathies and prayers were enlisted. Her
destiny eras our destiny-;*her fate was our
fate, and her cobrse was our course. The
great-question jupón which tfta Otfion splits
was as Vital tí. Taítiís- as anyWf her 'sister;
States. To tlie ISuuthern Confedera-
cy,'and to her aloiie, ceuld we look in case
of threatened war. Aud'in !kbe annota-
tion of Texas to that Confederacy, the
Convention has done "nothing more than:
carry out the will éf the people'; and the
reference of the same baok to the peoples
would have cotit the State an enormou '
sum of money—the result beiog tbe same
as that which has'been accomplished at so
little cost, fcnil "W it ho tit (ld!ay,^o that we-
now can have the benefit of frontiersprotec-
tiou.iic-., from tbe new Go'venment .
The result would have been the mine,
fortbe simple reason thfft -flie intelligence
•of the people of Texas cotilU «ever have
beén ^so blinded as to have failed to tee tbe
benefits of llwil Union—ottr taxes -di-
minished, our fmntier'protectetl, and in Caso
of invasion by enemies, a Southeruainry to
defend us. Texas b]T herself, to be main-
tained, Would be compelled to levy heavy
taxes upon*her<oitiaens, which will, in part,
be obviated by the annexation.
The Test -Oath required that all the offi-
cers at tbe 'State should take tbe oath of
allegiance,'first to Texas, then to the South-
ern Corffledemcy/and those failing to*doao,
should be-deposed. -Gov. Wouston refused
tbe olkth.and bas been'displaued.
As to tlie 'ceurse of the Oowvéntion, no.
'One can deny that some of its acts may be
inconsistent with the issui upon which tbe
debates were elected ; but this inconsist-
en<fy removed tbe necessities in the
case.
We give place to "Gen. Houston^'Wtter,
'at the same same time protesting against
lihe course he is pursuing, as-calculated to
promote discord and destroy the unanimity
of feeling which<Row jpervades-tlw country,
tie is a great man, und'Iris lirtt endeavors
-should not be directed against the'mdve-
Tribnte.
Bolivar, Ten*., March «10,*1861*
Citizen—Dear Friends: I learn
through a letter written by my brother-to
law, Mr. Crisp, and bearing date of FeW
ruarv 22nd, the painful intelligence of ae
death of my highly esteemed friend aid
former law partner, John H.IRobson, Eq
The letter above referred to, .gave a sinple
announcement of his death, without ny
of the circumstances, connected v/ith the.
melanchirly event.
I merely desire to offer a faiihful trihite
of a tear to the memory of one deirly
lovejkby me, and to offer to his sorrovful
family the sympathy of a heart, usei to
suffering.
John H. pRobso*j>w«s a 'than df ■exfra-
ordinafy natural powers. He possessed,
the rare combination of brilliancy andiog
ical depth, poetiy and philosophy,gejuis
and common sense. His litearv taste was
always refined and correct. His powers
of argument and reasoning wé're^letfrpro-
found ;an«i axiomniic. As a 8clÍolárTí's
Accomplishments were brilliant, varied and
profound—his '•fclstssical Haste dxqUiáitelv
pure and beautiful. Asa lawyer, he bad
no superior in the Slate of his adoptiot.
The racords df :the Supreme •Courfeviilo;
the correctness, and variety, and d&pth cf
his legal attainments. Possessed afuetear,
far seeing ¡judgment, a thoroughly cultiva-
ted intellect, a-warm and generous heart
in the very> bloom of raanhood^i^f^$&fA
but left the shrine untouched—the Vase-
unbroken—Fame would have honored liisj
mental ^ greatness and poured its libations
around ^lis^ttiétnoíy.
I knew him intimately in the transac-
tions of our professional toil, and' in the
dearer enjoyments of social fr¡end h¡p. I
loved hiui like a brother; and surely I
may be permitted to say this, now, tlat
Death hath robbed the profession of tl t
selfishness, which -the woild, iu its tbl.y,
tm*ibnteeato such confession*.
1 know nothing of the lonely pharaplur-
nalia which girded his last hours—wliéther
the glory of his unrivaled genuis flamed
upward amid the gathering gloom of dis-
solving nature, or set amid the darkness of
pangs and agony. I do know that liiere
is an infinite and -olmighty mercy in the
Eterndl '0*(e, and that Jfe " can «ave to
the uttermost/' amid the prejudging fuHy
and vanity of the world.
May tbe genial Spirit af "Peace soften,
the gloom of his household, and settle
gently dowu^ipon tltt memory of his lomb.

JOHN H. CRISP, 1
v $. > Dicorct.
MARY R. CRISP. \
IN 'this case the Plaintiff filed an amended ¡péti-
tion on the 24th day of December, 185Ú, in
substance elleging that, on the third day on
September, 1851, Plaintiff, being a resident of.
Hardeman county, in the State of Tennessee,
he intermarried with the Defendant, who was
then living fn -LifFayet'.e county, Mississippi;
that, at the time of said marriage, both of said
parties "Wútc the owners of a - considerable 'Teal
and personal estate; (hatit wesagreed between
them that the Plaintiff's residence1 in Tennessee
should be the residcneeOf said parlies'&fter said
marriage; itiat previous lo'lhc said marriage
and with a<view'te the mttie, a marriage agree-
mcut was entered iitto between Plaintiff and
Defendant, bywhich the Defemtaut trans erred
all h«Trproperty, real and personal, to the Plains
tiff, and each party reserving the-right, -by said
agreemeut, to-will at their death their property
as they should individually tlrink best, in as'full
a manner as-if they had never been married—
the'transfer or conveyance to Plaiutiff only in-
vesting him with the1 control of the said property
during said ¿Defendant's life, and oaéh to^ppoint
their own Executors. A copy óf Paid agree-
ment will'fce exhibited un the trial'hereof, or the
co itents proven, and the Defendant is notified
to produce the original, if in her-possession.
That immediaiejv, after said marriage, afcey
wedt'to the'Plaintiff's residence in Tei^eSsee
to reside, and they continued to live-tegclliér as
man and wife, enjoying the-cortfidence and «if-
fection of cacli other, u útil -«bout the month of
December, If&i. -Plaintiff states that from the
time of iheir marriagemp to this time, uo far as
he ever kaew, there was never any sort of disa-
greemeut or-rtiisuiiderstanding Letween thorn in
reference to the marriage contract, or «nothing
having any connection with the property of,
either.
In Ihe month of December, 185H, *t the 're.
quest of the Defendant, Plaintiff went with her
to her old residence in-LaFayette 'county, Mie-
sissippi. ^Phe5hiorqihg:arter they reached there,
the Defendant rétnarked to Plaftnlt&T -that She
wanted liiin'10'change the marriage ci*6trict, so
that'hér children could have her*prtepetty. *Plff.
replied that her children would get licr property
at her death, or at his death, but'that he would,
n t alter the contract. Notwithstanding tlie
Plaintiff's efforts to conciliate the Defendant/
she still insisted upon changiitg'the paid -mar-
riage contract, and stated to Piaiiitiff that if he
did not change the conJruct so as to enable her'
at once to give her property todier children, she
would not live -With 'him ¿t*his house, or stavi
with him, but'woitld^oefd elsewhere. PlaintHF
supposed that nothing serious would result froih
said conversation, 4>ut fully expected said De--
fendat to'return to his home in Tennessee Wben;
her visit ■was-out, and live with him *as she-had,-
previously done.
That, contrary to his -eapeCtatíons, bn'ihelit
day of January, 1855, the said Defendant, by her]
son-in-law, W. D. Holden, as her liext fno.id,
filed a Bill in Chancery against Plaintiff in the
District Chancery Court at "Molly Springs, Mis-
sissippi, among other tliiu|rs chergii% that Plain,
tiff fraudulently procured the -said :<na*rmge
contract to be sigued by the said Defendant y
that Plaintiff had deceived her in reference to;
said contract, and thdt he halt-taken an undue
advantage of herHu'procuring üdid contract
be signed *bj her,\nd other thirt^a impea«Hiin
4 bis integrity. * ;
That the said :J$ill •wa|'*igned iHld'^wofn^to^by
ibe said eiifewlfit, -anl a certiiied eo|«( df Uje
«ame will be bad in evidence.' This Bitl Was
answered by the Plaintiff, and before arty trial
of the controversy was had, a settlement Of the
matters connected with the property was made,
by which Tlaintiff relinquished all right, title!
and interest*w*hich he had in the property, real
and personal, of raid Defendant ; and the son of
said Defendant, *9. R. 'Bowles, gave bond and
security in the sum of #50;09ü to >-indemnify
Plaint iff agairfst all claims which the'Defendant,
or her heirs might have lo any part of tii!?estale;;
and upon this arrangement the '«aid ¿Bill was
dismissed.
Plaintiff ^frther states that 'the sáid Defend-
ant never returned to hia residence in Hardeman-
county, Tennessee, although ho continued to re-
side. theie diirittg -the whole of the year 1855,;
and up to January,-1S56 : -dor did sbe, at aPy
time, offer to return to live'with him, nor even
visit him duriug said period, although the Plain,
tiff never forbade her to ;do either, and would
have treated •ber well and kindly trad she done so.:
That in 'January, I8.S6, the Plaintiff removed
from his home i# Tennessee to the -County of
Colorado, State of Texas, where he had a^-esi.
dence alreadyipreparcd, and where he has re-
sided ever pince. That, although the Defendant
well knew of hi intention to remove from Ten-
nessee to Texas some time.prior to-his removal,
i-he never visited him in Tennessee-prior to that
time, or offered to live with !blm, ór to go With
him to Texas, or eVen wrote to him on the ihib-
ject Of h<B removal, nor has Bhe up to the present
"time ever lived with him in Tennessee or Texas,'
or visited him, or offered to «visit him, 'or wrote
to him, either in Tennessee or Téxas, since 'ihe
tiiing of said Bill in flie Chancery CoUft of *Hol-.
ly Springs, Mississippi; but she has !frequeiU!y
-declared'sltice that lime that she wduld never
again live with Plaintiff.
That, after the filing of eaiH "bill agáñrst
Plaintiff, the Defendant took up her residence
with some df her married children at her former
homsleád, in La Fayette cOudfy, Mississippi,
where she -has, according to tlie 'Plaintiff's iti-
'formaliou and belief,Remained ever ^ince, and
-continúes to resille.
Plaintiff charetos that upon the fttcts "stated,
'the aaid Defendant has voluntarily -left his lied
and board, ftfr the space of three yekrs {prior to
'the institution of this suit, With ihe 'intention of
abandonment. 'Plaintiff further -States that it is
true since the filing of said'Bill'against him by.
rhe said Defendant, he has never invited hcr'to
come *baCk and live With him ; nor*conld be with
an honest heart urge;a'-Woman to'toine back-and
live wftli him aa an affectionate *Wife who4md,'
upon ber oath, deliberately and without 'grving
hrm any -notice whatever, charged ¿him in a
Court of Justicc 'with the grosest fnftfd'and-riis-
honosty, when he well knew 'that the Charges
wcre untrue, and Which he 'also 'knew that she
know to be "uittrue. -Plnintliff expressly states
that each and every one of the «charges in %saftl
'Bill bi!Chancery,-made by aaid Ddfcndant, in
any way impugning his conduct, were and ase
