Annexation. There have been sundry
Tumors about the action of the United States
Congress upon this subject .but the mail
brings us nothing of later date than the ac-
tion upon the resolutions of. Air. Weller of
Ohio which passed thejr second reading by
a vote -of 105 to 69 The resolutions are brief-
ly declaratory of a compact without etitering
into the minutiae ofa treaty -arid are to be
binding if adopted whenever the assent of
Texas shall be expressed.
Duff Gruen. We perceive in the
National Register of the 4th a "Proclamation
by President Jones revoking the Exequatur
by which this gentleman was recogrizedqs
Consul of the United States for Galveston
The President says that " owing to circum-
iancesknown to the Executive the interests
honor and safely of the Republic require that
the authority so extended as adores' id to the
-Mid Duff Green be revoked."
Proceedings im Congress. We did
intend presenting regularly to our readers a
synopsis of the proceeding in this body but
en -looking over the minutes we find so little
xeeptthe mere presentation or introductory
reading of bills which may or may not pass
that we believe it is better to simply keep th'm
informed of what is actually done and per-
fected. Since the Jast published letter of out-
member we believe no bill of importance has
passed except that which provided for the
removal of the public offices to Austin; onMhe
adjourment of Congress. That bill which
our readers were previously informed had
.passed the house by a majority of two has
since. passed the Senate. It is rumored that
l the President will veto it.
The tariff we think will remain untouched
though we are inclined. to jhe opiuion that
annexation will prevent the Collection of
much more duty.

JCJ-From 'Major Pillanswho was in town
bit .week we lean that th.e country on the
head waters of the Sabine is filling up with
unexampled rapidity. In th vast country
west of the Trinityupon Richland and Cham-
bers creeks and in all that section where a
short time ago it was supposed a white man
could not live on account of molestation from
the Indians and where the land is ofthe finest
character the in-comers are settling them-
selves and going to work. .From the Colo-
nies the report is favorable. General Mercer
is busily operating for the advancement of hi?
grantand with plenty of means in possession
will successfully carry it out. $.
vjf Distressing Occurrence. Mr. Alf-
red Moore an old and well known resident
of our county started come three or four
weeks back with his family t" move from
his late residence on Pine Creek to a new
place which he was about settling upon the
head waters of the Sabine. He had with him
bis household furniture and stock of cattle
hogs etc. and was accompanied by three
men who were assisting him in moving.
On the morning ofthe last day of the jour-
ney they started from their camp six miles
this side of their destination and after getting
along a couple of milesa negro child fell out
of one of the wagons and the wheel van over
its hand. Mrs. Moore who was carrying a
little son about 14 months old before her on
horseback put him down and dismounted
herself to' attend to the negro proposing to
her little son to put him up again with a lit
tie girl some. three or four years old. whom
she placed upon the horse. The little fellow
declined and insisted upon walking along
with a man who was driving the hogs and
she let him go telling the little girl to kep
with him. Some distance beyond there the
hogs took out ofthe road into a sort of cir-
cular hollow which ran roundvinto the road
again where the grass was very high and
the driver followed after telling the little hoy
to keep on the road with the girl and suppos-
ed that he did so. The child however did
not heed him but followed into the grassand
the little girl went on the road without at-
tending to him. Mrs. Moore in the mean
time was far behind with the wagon and Mr.
Moore was in advance of all. driving sheep.
The manw.ho was driving the hogs suppos-
ed the little fellow was on the road with the:
girl and the horseand thought no more about
him but drove on till he got to the place
where Mr. Moore had arrived before him.
Abputtwo miles this side of the place a
wagon turned over and Mrs. Moorewho was
with the hindmost wagon when she got up
staid by it untri the things were put in ' and
the wagon started again and .arrived at the
house about sundown. She immediately in-
quired after her child and Mr Moorfc who
supposed it with her asked also and then for
the finpime it became at once understood that
he was missing the little girl being interro-
gated and knowing nothing about him.
Mr. uVlooreand two or three others imme
diately started back to look for him and arri-
ved at the point where he was last seenabout
dark. They searched about as.long as there
was any . light fruitlessly. The night was
intensely coldv In the morning the search
was renewed and .continued till darkj but
still they could not find him; They found his
tracks leading outinto the nigbr-grass at iht
place where the hogs turned out -and coming
into the road again. where' they came. inland

ation that he had left the road a little ways
but struck it again at the first creek they
crossed ; the road winding round to the cross"
ing. 1 seemed that.he did not like the cross-
ing and had gone further uptill he found one
that suited him better and there crossed.

which he avoided. Tho poor little fellow
had persevered for an amazing distance con-
sidering his age and kept on as he supposed
after his parents until benumbed with cold
he had lain down never to rise again on earth
His countenance when found was placidand
unmarked by a single painful emotionthough
one would suppose his childish agony must
have been intense as he wandered on seeking
his mother.
The. anguish of the parents an one of the
least feeling can imagine for the bare recital
ofthe occurrence creates a feeling of horror
in the listener.
The cause ofthe occurrence was a per-
fectly simple one arising from the supposi
lion of the father that the child was with his
mother and ofthe mother who had slopped
to attend to the wounded negro that the child
was ahead with the little girl; and ofthe man
who was driving the hogs and whose whole
attention was required to them that he had
followed along the road with the little girl
.lhja man. had two or three times proposed to
the child to put him on the horse but he
was unwilling and it seemed a harmless hu
raoring of his fancy to let him go on as h
wished. ' yj;

To our Patrons The Press is said to

covered that the needful was the great pri

manner in which our brother Typo presumes
to hint at the purses of his subscribers. We

our sensibilities so much as to tender us any
money. Such an extraordinary occurrence
would .shock us beyond measure.

FROMBREMEN.-The brig John Delhardt

arrived here on Saturday last having on
board one hundred and twenty seven emi-
grants. They are destined for the grant of
H. F. Fishor & Co and we are informed
by tl:j consignee that they are well provided
with implements ot husbandry provisions
and all other necessaries to render themcom-
fortable when they arrive at their new homes
in the West.
From the appearance of those we have
seen on shorewe should judge that they we're
ofa respectable class of' emigrants and will
be consideiableof addition to the section of
country in which they may locate.
They areto proceed immediately from'this
port to some eligible point on La Vaca Bay.

which are expected in a few dys.

leave on or about the 28th of September' and
the Ferdinand afe"w days after.
There are several other v.ssels chartered
and are ex'pected to arrive hereaboutthe mid-
dle of Dec' r; so that tha whole body of emi-
grants will be ready to move from the coast-
by the iirst of January next. Neios.
The last Galveston papers bring us the
news ofthe arrival there within the last fif-
teen days of the brigs Hershel Appollo
Ferdinand. and Johann Dothard from Bre-
men with 373 emijran s destined for Col.
Henry F. Fisher's grant. Th-y are said to
b well provided in every respect and from
their appearance promise a valuable accession
to the industrious and laboring population of
the country. They have gone Westward
with a view to immediate settlement upon the
lands of the colony. This looks like earnest
and efficient enterprise which we hope to see
encouraged until our western wilds "shall be
converted into fruitful fields in which shall
be seen in full luxuriance the vine and Joe
olive and all those other productions of our
fertile soil which contribute so largely to'per-
sonal comfort and national wealth. ' '
