* High Water in the Brazos.—
Consequent of the heavy rain on
Saturday iporning last the Brazos
river and the various creeks in the
aeighbourhood have been filled! to
overflowing. We learn, that the
Brazoa was only three feet from the
edge of its banks oa Wednesday, and
the water-still rising.. The passage
across the river can only be effected
in skitfs or small boats. The oldest
settlers on Mill Creek and its branches
do not remember to have seen such
volumes of water in the creeks before,
and has stopped the traffic of the
neighborhood greatly.

THE TEXAS
KIONTHLY REVIEW®
IT is proposed to publish, under the
above title, a periodical Review,
devoted to the interests of Texas.
As a preliminary step in this undertak-
ing, it is desired to ascertain whether a
sufficient patronage will justify the expen-
ses incident to the publication of the con-
templated work.
The.Review will i:i a Literary
Department, for c >ntributions
from talen'ed writers in the State will be
obtained. It will also embrace-translations
from the gems of foreign literature.
The Historical Department will
present correct records of the several
Texas Regiments organized during tbe late
war ; sketches of the history of the Sti te,
and im idents of war and border life, from
the earliest settlement to the present time.
The written records of our army having to
a great extent been destroyed, live now in
n an's memory, and would ultimately be
lost if a work like the Review proposed
to be published, shall not perpetrate them.
For this purpose, all persons feeling an
interest iu the history ot the military or-
ganizations to which they belonged, are
requested to send toGeq. X. B. Deb ray,
.it Houston, a statement of such incidents
connected with them, whether historical
Jor humorous, as they may deem deserving
of publication, including deeds of individ-
ual gallantry and devotion that should be
handed down to posterity
The Farming and Stock Raising De-
partments will be a medium of commu-
nication by which the riches of the State
inny be developed, and made known abroad
to thousands who.are looking to Texas as
a future hou:e. where to retrieve their
shattered fort unes.
If encouraged by the. pron.ise of a suffi-
cent patronage, the publishers will endea-
vor to make the Texas Monthly Review, a
work excelled by none of the kind in the
country, and a welcome companion in tbe
parlor and at the family fir.wide.
Th^ price of the Texas Review will not
exceed Five Dollars in Specie yearly ..pay-
able upon tbe delivery of the first number,
at the beginning of August next.
Subscriptions will be received by the
Newspaper Agenta in the State, at J E.
