THE
SIMINOLES [SIC] IN ARKANSAS.—The Van Buren (Ark.) Intelligencer speaks as
follows of the dissatisfaction which prevails among the Siminoles [sic] on the
Arkansas frontier:
These
indians [sic] were sent west and settled on the lands of the Creek Indians.
A treaty was formed in 1845, to which the United States and the Creeks
were parties with the Siminoles, under which they lived peaceably for several
years, but Wild Cat, a well known Siminole, became dissatisfied at being ruled
by the Creeks, gathered a party of Siminoles and negroes, and crossed into
Mexico, where he has lived as an outlaw ever since.
The same feeling has grown with the remnant of the tribes in the Indian
territory, who have lately withdrawn from the Creek Council, and have held one
among themselves for the purpose of throwing off the Creek yoke demanding a
partition of the lands, that they may set up for themselves independently.
They are on Creek lands, and by treaty are subject to the Creek laws, but
they are dissatisfied and restless and bent upon a change.
There are the materials there for a harassing Indian disturbance, unless
the Government interferes wisely and in time.

to the point:
Wanted—By

varied accomplishments, who has studied everything from the creation to crochet,
a situation in the family of a gentleman. She will take the head of the table, manage his household,
and scold his servants, nurse his babies, (when they arrive), check his
tradesman's bills, accompany him to the theatre, cut the leaves of his new
books, sew on his buttons, warm his slippers, and generally make his life
happy.—Apply in the first place by letter to Louisa Caroline, Linden Grove,
and afterwards to papa, upon the premises.

"We
think," says the Frankford [sic] Yeoman, "that it is perfectly
rediculous [sic] and unmanly in certain editors to keep sneering at and carping
at low-necked dresses. The fact is,
the ladies were driven to the present fashion in self-defence and vindication
and by the impertinent course of these meddling editors. When editors were continually insinuating that the
ladies—dear creatures—in fortifying their flinty little hearts against the
assaults of Cupid, adopted the mode of defence used by General Jackson at the
battle of New Orleans, we always believed the insinuation was a vile slander,
and now we know it was."

The Printer.
The Printer is the most curious being living.
He may have a BANK and COINS, and not worth a cent; have SMALL CAPS and
have neither wife nor children.—Others may run fast but he gets along swifter
by SETTING fast. He may be making
IMPRESSIONS, without eloquence; but he may be using the LYE without offending,
and be telling the truth; while others cannot STAND while they SET, he can SET
STANDING, and do both at the same time; have to use FURNITURE, and yet have no
dwelling; he may make up and put away PI, and never see a pie, much less eat it,
during his whole life; be a human being and a RAT at the same time; may PRESS a
great deal and not ask a favor; may handle a SHOOTING IRON, and know nothing
about a cannon, or pistol; he may move the LEVER that turns the world and yet be
as far from moving the globe as a hog under a mole-hill; spread his SHEETS
without a house wife; he may lay his FORM on a BED, and yet be obliged to sleep
on the floor; he may use the DAGGER without shedding blood, and from the earth
he may handle the STARS; he may be of a ROLLING disposition, and yet never
desire to travel; he may have a SHEEP'S FOOT and never be deformed; never
without a CASE, and knows nothing of law or physics; be always CORRECTING his
ERRORS, and growing worse every day; have EMBRACES without having the arms of a
lass thrown around him; have his FORM LOCKED UP, and at the same time be free
from jail, watch-house, or any other confinement; his office may have a HELL in
it, and not be a bad place after all; he might be plagued by the DEVIL, and be a
Christian of the best kind; and which is stranger still, be honest, rich or
poor, drunk or sober, industrious or lazy, he always STANDS up to his business.

"Oh,
Johnny," cried a nervous mother, "do have some pity on my poor head!
Can't you play without shouting so?"
Poor Johnny threw up the tape reins with which he was driving two chairs
tandem, and called out in a loud hoarse whisper, "Get up, whoa!"
But at length finding little pleasure in this suppressed amusement he
threw down the reins, and laying his hand on his breast, said, with a long
breath, "Oh mother, it's full of noise in here, and it hurts me to keep it!
Don't all little boys make a noise when they play?"
"Yes, Johnny, I believe they all do," replied the lady.
"Oh, then, mother dear," cried Johnny in a whining tone,
"please let me be a little boy!"
TYLER REPORTER, February 9, 1859, p. 1, c. 3
Dancing.
The following which we find in the Boston Courier, conveys our own
sentiments, as to the morality of this graceful and elegant amusement.
There is as much difference between the dance, as conducted in a
respectable parlor or well regulated assembly-room, and the same in a Five-Point
dance house, as there is between the innocent laugh of childhood and the ribald
jest of age. 'Tis not the mere act
of motion, but the associations of place, that are demoralizing.
Nature is not always in tears, and man is occasionally permitted to laugh
and be merry:
"Promiscuous
dancing" is, in itself, not only no sin, but an innocent pleasure and a
healthful exercise—one of the natural and universal expressions of that
delight in being alive, which is the blessed boon of youth and health.
That man must have an essentially low and vulgar mind who can look upon a
group of youths and maidens, moving with light hearts and light feet through the
giddy mazes of the dance, and stain the fair vision with thoughts of sense and
sin. This removing of the landmarks
of morality—this branding with moral reprobation acts which in themselves are
not morally wrong, is never done, without danger to the essential interests of
morality itself.
TYLER REPORTER, February 9, 1859, p. 2, c. 1
The
Truth.—Davenport and Co. have just received, from the Agricultural and
Horticultural Warehouse of David Landreth & Son, Phila., the largest lot of
fresh and genuine Garden Seeds ever seen in these parts.
The great failing in most seeds sold in public markets is, that
frequently not more than two and a half out of each paper will ever show
themselves after being planted, and consequently families are very often almost
deprived of vegetables. Buy
Landreth's seeds, of Davenport & Co., and then when green-mantled Spring
arrives, verdancy will exhibit itself in your garden instead of upon your
countenance, for having been gulled with bad seed.

TYLER REPORTER, February 19, 1859, p. 2, c. 2
[illegible]
evening last, after an absence of four weeks to the city of New Orleans, where
we have been on business connected with the "Reporter."
Our trip was in every respect, a most pleasant one—full of incidents
and excitement—the enjoyment of which will not soon be forgotten.
When we left, our health had been wretched for months—we return strong
and well, and feel ourself once more able to enter upon the discharge of our
editorial duties. The last letter
from us, while on our journey, was written from Grand Ecore, while we were
en-route for the city which latter place we reached in due season.
We found New Orleans full to overflowing with strangers from every part
of the country, drawn thither by business, or the pursuit of pleasure.
Every hotel was crowded with visitors and finding it impossible to
procure accommodations, we were obliged to take a private room, large numbers of
which are kept ready furnished for rent. Any
person who designs remaining in the city for a couple of weeks or more, will
find this plan of living the most pleasant and agreeable, lodging in this
manner, and "feeding wherever and whenever he pleases."
Every
place of amusement in the Crescent city is now presenting its most attractive
bills, and each are nightly thronged with the beauty fashion and elite which
have congregated for the winter. The
celebrated tragedian, Booth, has been playing an engagement at the St. Charles
Theatre, drawing well. We witnessed
his deliniations [sic] of King Lear, Richard III, and Hamlet, and in certain
portions of these plays, never saw him surpassed. He is an actor of great promise.
Actors of lesser note are playing at the "Varieties."
Geo. Christie's Minstrels are holding forth at Odd Fellow's Hall, which
is crowded nightly.
As a
matter of course, while in the city, we took a ride down to the Lake, on the
shell road, behind a 2.40 nag, and partook of a sumptuous and magnificent fish
dinner, such as is not to be obtained elsewhere in the known world.
The fame of "Dan Hickock's Lake House," has extended to every
part of habitable Globe, and his "fish dinners" would put to shame the
table of a Monarch. Our mouth
fairly waters at the recollection. And
while upon this subject, we may as well remark, that in the city, as fine a
dinner (or any other meal) can be obtained at Sam's House on St. Charles St., as
the most fastidious epicure could desire. Every
delicacy which can be imagined, is at the order of the guest, and
"Sam" (McClure) is a host and not mistake.
We
visited one or two of the Police Courts, not as a defendant, but simply as a
spectator, and the summary manner in which justice is dispensed strikingly
contrasts with the legal tribunals of Texas.
Ten minutes is ample time in which to try, convict and hang a poor devil
in New Orleans.
We
made a large number of most pleasant acquaintances while in the city, who did
every thing in their power to render our stay both profitable and agreeable.
Indeed we do not believe that any other city can produce as social,
polite and clever a set of gentlemen as live in New Orleans.
A stranger is immediately made to feel at home, and nothing is left
undone to contribute to his enjoyment. This
we call true hospitality.
After
a stay of two weeks, during which time we attended to the business which induced
our visit, we left the city, for home, on board the Steamer B. L. Hodge, of
which boat a notice will be found in another column. Among the passengers were a number of gentlemen from our
sister town of Henderson, and a more merry and convivial party could not be
started.
Our
friend and contemporary, S. G. Swan Esq., of the Henderson "New Era,"
was one of the number, he having been to the city on business connected with his
excellent paper. No incident of
importance transpired during the trip to Shreveport, saving, perhaps, the
knocking down and shooting at a Jew gambler, who had the impudence to pull a
passenger's beard. The pistol
bullet just grazed the side of the gambler's head.
We will bet high that he never again plucks a Gentile's beard.
On our
return we remained a day at Shreveport, engaged in winding up some business
matters, and securing wagons for our freight.
We then left for home, where we safely arrived, without stop or
hinderance [sic], on Monday last, and found all of our business affairs in a
most prosperous condition.—To our Pro Tem, who has had charge of the editorial
department of the "Reporter" during our absence we return our thanks
for his kindness, and feel assured that our readers have been the gainers by the
change. We are again at our post,
which we shall not leave again for some time, and shall endeavor by renewed
application, to deserve the continued confidence and patronage of the public.
TYLER REPORTER, February 19, 1859, p. 2, c. 7
State
Penitentiary.—We learn from the State Gazette that for the eleven months
ending August 31st, 1858, there was a clear net profit of $6,453.52
from the working of the cotton and wollen [sic] factory of the Penitentiary;
while the deficit in other respects and in the other departments, amounts to
$12,778.80. Thus while the pursuit
of the other branches of labor has resulted in a large loss to the State, the
cotton and woolen factory has, by its profits, enabled the State to meet
one-half of the loss.
The
Gazette learns that, with the sanction of the Governor, and approval of the
Directors, Gen. Besser has contracted for 60 more looms and 2,376 spindles.
When these are erected, there will then be 900 looms and 3,728 spindles;
400 of them will be employed on wool. This
increase will enable the factory to turn out about a million and a half of yards
per annum, worth $225,000. There
will be consumed in this manufacture 1,800 bales of cotton, and 150,000 pounds
of wool. This purchase will give quite an impetus to the planting and
farming interests around the factory.
Some
of the machinery is now afloat, and the whole of it will, doubtless, be in
operation by the meeting of the next Legislature.
From
this successful experiment of cotton manufacturers, can be seen what may be
accomplished in other portions of the State, under the more favorable auspices
of slave or free labor, instead of convict.

The Reporter has now entered its Fourth Volume, and its prospects are
more flattering than ever before. For
over two years past, the present Editor has used every exertion to improve the
sheet, and render it worthy of the confidence and support of the People. His efforts have been, to a considerable extent, rewarded by
renewed and extended patronage, and he now takes pleasure in stating that the
Reporter is in a more prosperous [missing word] than ever before.
But in
order that we may make the improvements which we design, that the interest of
the paper may be increased, and that we may be better able to make it, as far as
possible, all that it should be, we are under the necessity of calling upon the
citizens of our own and other counties in Eastern Texas for an extension of

The Constitutional privileges of all classes of our citizens, be they
Foreign or Native—the perpetuity of the Union of the States—the Rights of
the South in this Confederacy, and bitter and uncompromising hostility to
sectional agitators.
The
Reporter will be found the advocate of, and will do all in its power to sustain
the true and sound policy of Internal improvements in our State—giving
to is readers, as far as possible, the action and views of the different
portions of the country upon this subject.
The
Political character of the paper is well known. It will hereafter, as it has done heretofore, advocate the
principles of
True Democracy.
and will be the untiring opponent of Know Nothingism, in whatever shape or form it may present itself.
To the Legal Profession
we would say, that we regularly publish the Opinions, in full,

The
Annual Session of the Grand Temple of Honor and Temperance convened in this
place on Monday last, and is still in session.
There are in attendance delegations from several subordinate Temples, but
owing to a misapprehension as to the time of meeting, a full delegation has not
yet arrived. On yesterday (Tuesday)
evening, the Templars had a grand torch-light procession, accompanied by the
different Sabbath Schools of Tyler.
The
night was dark, and the scene, taken all in all; the brilliant transparencies,
the beautiful ladies, with eyes not less bright; the gallant sterner spirits
(not intoxicating, but certainly ardent) was one of impressive
beauty.
After
marching around the square, the procession proceeded to the Methodist Church,
where the audience were entertained with three most interesting addresses.
The first, was by Miss Mollie E. Moore, followed by Miss Lavonia Scott,
the Rev. Mr. Gillam closing with and eloquent and powerful appeal in

Marshall
Stage Line.—The coaches on this newly established line, are now making regular
tri-weekly trips. The energetic
projectors of this enterprise, Messrs. Taylor & Johnson, deserve the
patronage of our citizens, more particularly because they have undertaken to do
in person what the government has, after repeated petitions from the people
refused.
This
new traveling facility, will add much to our place, placing us within 36 hours
travel of Shreveport, whereas, heretofore, it has required three days to reach
that point by stage. It will also
have a great tendency to turn the great portion of western travel by Shreveport
and this place. This route is far
the nearest and [illegible]

Our Road.
We clip the following from the Galveston News of the 8th
inst., showing the progress made thus far, in the organization of the Galveston,
Houston and Tyler Rail Road Company. The
News says:
A
meeting of the citizens of Galveston is to be held at the court house tonight,
to take measures for raising the amount of stock subscription, required by the
charter, to make the organization legal.
A
stockholders' meeting was held at the Mayor's office on Saturday evening, and
was adjourned to meet again at the Court House, on Monday afternoon.
The amount reported to the last meeting, as raised so far, in Galveston,
is $256,500. Of this amount $10,000
is conditioned upon the full amount of $250,000 being raised as required by the
Charter. Stock to the amount of
$43,500 more must be subscribed by our citizens, or the organization will fail.
The
time has gone by for appeals to anything but the pockets of sensible and
practical men on t6his subject. We
must do our duty to Eastern Texas in this matter.
We asked the Legislature for this Charter; or, what is equivalent, the
members from Eastern Texas, and in Walker and Montgomery counties, accepted the
anti-debt, cash paying features, to prevent fraud, which our county suggested
and incorporated then in a Charter which they had already put before the
Legislature.
Our
citizens have taken so much of the stock for Galveston, that there are scarcely
[illegible] This meeting is
called to allow all property holders, who are as much to be benefited as the
mercantile community, the opportunity to aid in this enterprise. Let every real estate owner go to the meeting, prepared to
vote sensibly on his interest. Remember
that we are under the eye of our country friends, who have come to see what we
are doing. Several of them are from
Eastern Texas, and it will not do for them to go home and report a failure on
the part of the people of Galveston to consummate a plan of such deep interest
to her, and to the rich counties of the Eastern part of the State.
It
seems that $206,500 of the $250,000 required have been taken, in the city of
Galveston. We are aware that the
remaining $43,500 was taken, as men from Eastern Texas were there, prepared to
take that amount, if the organization suited them. So we presume the organization will soon be completed, the
road surveyed and books opened for both general and county stock subscription.
We can speak for Smith, and take the responsibility to say that she will
take stock enough to build the road through her limits, if the counties below
her will bring it within her reach. We
regard this road as being on the most sound and practical plan of any yet
chartered in our State, and every citizen of our section of the State, who fails
to give it his undivided influence is blind to his own interests.

Last
evening this section was blessed with another rain, which brightens the already
fair prospects of our agriculturalists. The
corn crops throughout our county are more thrifty than they have been for years.
The cotton though retarded in its growth by the backward spring, is
looking well and is generally in a high state of cultivation.
The wheat will probably yield much better than was expected, but is in
most places inferior.
