in all the branches of a substantial and finished education.
From tbs delightful location and health of Matacorda: from the
' ' comforts and convenience of a well-built town ; from a strong desire
of the people to establish and maintain a high tone of moral feeling
in tne community; trom tue lauaaoxe ooservance ot me Jord s day,
and regular attendance of the citizens on Divine Service, which is
now held uninterruptedly on every Sunday; and from there being a
regular Sunday School m town, this cannot but be a very desirable
place for an institution for the education of the young.

States; and Mrs. Ives was educated in the best schools for young
ladies in New England; besides which they have both for many
years past been engaged either as Principals or Assistants In the first

TESTIMONIALS.
'Thave been long acquainted with the Rev. Mr. Ives, and Know
him to be an excellent classical and English scholar. Mrs. Ives
taught a female seminary for several years, m the city of Hartford
Connecticut, with distinguished reputation. I have full confidence
in the qualifications of Mr ana" Mia Ives to conduct a seminary of
the highest order, in such a manner as to afford general satisaction

"I have been acquainted with the Rev. Calebs. Ives for many
years past, and during the last two yearahave been associated with
him as an officer of this institution. I have found him excellently
fitted in all respects to bean instructor of youth. His industry, de-1
cision, and patient good temper quality mm ma hign degree as a
governor ol the young, while his accurate scholarship andun tiring
zeal render him Equally successful as a teacher. In committing their
children to the instruction of Mr. Ives, parents may feel the most
assurance that they are placing them under the care of one, who is
perfectly competent to all he undertakes, and who williook with the
most scrupulous care to the fulfilment of every trust committed to

PROSPECTUS OF "THE TEXAS TIMES."
THE proprietor proposes to publish in the City of Galveston, a
weekly paper, under the title of "The Texas Tunes." It will be
a continuation of tho "San Luis Advocate," until eleven numbers
shall Have been published which will complete the present volume
of that paper. These numbers will be. forwarded to subscribers;
and additional copies sent to such persons in Texas and the United
States as are supposed to be desirous of patronising such a Journal
as it is hoped the Times will proye to be.
All who are not disposed to subscribe, after becoming acquainted
with the management and character of the paper, will make known
their resolve, by returning the first number of the second volume
through the Post Office. They will not be charged with the first
eleven numbers. All who do not signify their dissent, by this means
or some other equally convenient, will be enrolled as regular sub
scribers.
- The establishment has been removed from San Luis, mainlv on
account of facilities here afforded for communicating regularly with
1 every section of the Republic, as well as foreign Nations ; and with
the nope ol deserving and obtaining, a share of the business patron'
age of this commercial emporium of Texas.
Subscribers to the "San Luis Adyocate" have had opportunities of
juaging me mecnanicoi smu nsea in tne pnoiicanon 01 tne paper.
An assurance is given to nil that the best materials onlv will be 113
ed, and unwearied attention given to avoid typographical and other
errors.
The t dilorial department will be under the control of the nronrie
tor, and no effort shall be wanted on his part, to render the columns
of the Times useful and interesting to every class of readers. The
aid of experienced and talented correspondents, in different sections
of the country, has been secured, ami readers may lely on being ser-
ved with many nch treats, illustrating the habits, manners, topog-
raphy, mineral wealth, agricultural and all other resources of the
cuumry, calculated to matte Known anu advance us interests.
No sectional prejudices shall be entertained, but the position ta-
ken, that particular porlions of the country are peculiarly adapted to
the promotion of crrebponding interests; and that the wealth and
prosperity attendant on such congeniality of pursuits, dictated by
natural advantages, wdl advance the general happiness and welfare
of all.
The Times is intended to be a National paper, and no opportunity
wulbelosttocolIecrtand preserve from oblivion, every interesting
fact relating to the history and early settlement of the country me
difficulties, trials, hardships and dangers, encountered and conquer-
ed by the "Old Three Hundred" undu- the great and good Austin,
until Texas took rank among the nations of the earth. Every inci-
dent worthy of note, in the present interesting crisis, will be furnish-
ed by able writers belonging to tho Army and Navy, and faithfully
chronicled in the Times.
A portion of each number will be devoted to the publication of a
carefully compiled summary of foreign news, and to such matters as
may he deemed interesting, science or general information. In these
departments, a preference wdl be given to original composition,
when concaved to be of such a character as to elevate our National
literature in the estimation of the world.
Timely arrangements will be made to insure a correct and inde-
pendent history of the proceedings of Congress, when in session.
In politics, the Times will be independent, and praise or censure
those who are in power, or those who may aspire to it, just as the
principles they advocate are calculated to result in good or evil to the
country. Animadversions will be made on measures, and not upon
men; the columns of thepaper shall never be polluted with matters
affecung the vices, or private characters of individuals, however high
then-station may be. War will be waged against vice, but not the
vicious.
A reform in the present constitution will be zealously advocated :
it is radically defective unsuitcd to the times and the country; it
was framed in haste, and without that deliberation which should be-
long to a charter upon which the rights and liberties of a people are
founded. Its defects will be pointed out from time to time, and the
collisions that daily arise between the different departments of the
government; which as a consequence, introduces anarchy and
coufbnon, render th administration of public justice, and the rights
of persons and property, insecure.
arguments aim examples win oe lniroaucea, to prove mat Texas
can never prosper as a nation, untU the contests ar.singfromdisputes
and uncertainty about land titles, shall be adjusted, buch measures
will be supported, as are best calculated to cause a speedy and just
settlement of this vexed question.
A zealous support will be given, to all measures tending to sustain
and Dreservn national faith and national honor. The governing
principle in a Republican government should be, to "do justice to all
and exact it Jrom all.
The most feasible and effective policy which presents itself, will be
advocated for protecting the frontierfrom savage incursion that the
various resources of that healthy and beautiful portion of the Repub-
lic, may be realised and enjoyed.
Untiring support will be given to every measure believedio be ne
cessary to bring to a close the war we are now engaged in with Mex
ico. Fast exnenence induces the belief that prompt and energetic
action is best calculated to procure peace, without which we can
never enjoy the blessings and prosperity, incident to a sound cur-
rency, credit, and successful commerce.
TERMS :
Subscribers to The Texas Times will be furnished with the first
eleven numbers free of charge, and as other motiv s than pecuniary
aggrandizement, are paramount with the proprietor, he is desirous of
giving an extensive circulation to the Times as a general vehicle of
intelligence, by reducing the terms to the moderate price of foub
doilabs in advace, or five dollars at the close of the succeeding
volume.
The paper is established on a footing which will ensure its perma
nent conunuance. , nov 44-dbi

TSIE TROPIC WEEKLY.
rpHE gratifying success which has attended the daily publication
J ol the TROPIC, has induced the publishers to offer a weekly
edition, at such a price a3 will place it within the reach of every citi-
zen of the State. The first number will be issued Sunday morning,
November 13th.
The great importance of the approaching Presidential Elecdon, de-
mands of the vVhigs the most zealous ana untiring efforts, in order
to perfect the Union and arouse the slumbering energies of the par-
ty. It has been demonstrated on more than one occasion, that the
Whigs of Louisiana, outnumber their opponents by from three to
four thousand, nearly as large a majority, compared with the aggre-
gate vote, as is.givcn by the best Whig States in the Union. In
1840, Massachusetts gave a Whig majority of over twenty thousand
votes. The majority given by Louisiana, as compared with the
number of votes cast, exceeded that of the Bay State about onc-jiflh.
So that at that election, Louisiana assumed the proud position of the
tliird Whig State in the Republic; second only to Kentucky and
Vermont. Thi3 gratifying result was attnbutabfe only to theunpar-
ralleld exertions of the Whigs, to the complete harmony which
reigned throughont their ranks, and their powerful rally in defence of
their principles. Will the Whigs of Louisiana do leas in 1844 for
Harry of the West, iheir favorite leader, than they did in 1840 for
the lamented General Harrison 1
The WEEKLY TROPIC will be an independent, but earnest and
unflinching advocate of Whig principles, and will disseminate early
and correct information upon all political topics. Its Commercial
Department will be inferior to that of no paper published in the
South. In its News Department it will not be in the rear of any of
its contemporaries.
We respectfully recommend it to the Whujs of Louisiana, and of
the neighboring States, Alabama and Mississippi, as 'a cheap and
safe medium for the circulation of sound and healty political intelli-
gence. The WEEKLY TROPIC will be furnished to subscribers at tho
rate of Three Dollars per annum. For clubs of ten or more, at the
same Post Office, the price will be tiro dollars and a half, payable,
in all cases, in advance. G. W. BRADBURY,

FRESH IMPORTATION OF MOFFAT'S LIFE
PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS.
THESE invaluable medicines can be found wholesale and
retail at the store of E. S. Perkins, at the city ofHouston,
and at retail at m.st of the principal towns of the Republic of
Texas.
The Life Pill is a cathartic medicine, of the most gentle yet
searching properties, having the efficiency in general of calo-
mel, without the injurious tendencies of that mineral; it reno-
vates and strengthens the system, even while under its active
operatipn, and almost invariably cures agues and fevers, and
the many distressing complaints arising from a diseased liver.
The Phenix Bitters is a compound of the most valuable vege-
table tonics known in medicine. Its influence in renovating an
exhausted and prostrated constitution is truly wonderful. Testi-
monies of the most varied character, and of the highest credit
can be readily furnished of their salutary influence on the debi-
lidated human frame
In southern climates where great lassitude usually follows
every species ot sickness, the Phenix bitters are highly recom-
mended, and thousands can testify to their renovating anddife-
giving character.
Taken in connection with the Life Pills, they offer to fami-
lies and invalids the most potent and useful medicines known to
the public for the cure ot agues and fevers and complaints of
the liver generally YM. W. ALLEN,
