A letter writer in Texas, thus pictures tho public men of that Republic : "Texas is cursed with a drunken, reck less, unprincipled President, a weak and imbecile cabinet, a corrupt Congress, (the last I mean tho present is not yet known) a drunken sot as Chief Justice of the Su preme Court all backed by a banditti turn ed loose upon our country by the disband' lng of the army, altogether rendering our prospects rather gloomy.

"Wo know one of tho craft who Was, we believe, brought up in tho office of our con tinental friend Poulson of Philadelphia. The narrow field ill which he found himself on gaining his liberty, proved altogether too insignificant for the exercise of his genius. He turned stage driver and afterwards ped lar. We next knew him as a school tcaell cr at Salem, N, J., and subsequently as the taptain of a duck river sloop. This latter Occupation soon lost the charm of novelty and ho resumed his place at the press. Here we lost sight of him for a time, but our ac quaintance was renewed in the summer of 1834 at Lcwisburg, Va where we found his typesmp officiating as Methodist minis iter.

The Mercer (Pa) Lu minary of a late date, says : "Oonstderable excitement prevails m the south-west part of this county, caused bv some recettt developements of the conduct of one or two of the citizens. We dd not propose to enter into the merits of the case, but merely to stato one or two facts which came out in testimony taften before his hon or, Judgo Brown. From these it appears that Dr. , (a physician ofsomo stand ing) residing in that part of tho county allu ded to) returned from a trip to tho eastward last fall, bringing with him a vountr student. apparently about 20 years of age, who con tinued to live with llim until a week or ten days since, when for reasons best known to themselves suspicions were excited In the minds of the citizens that the aforesaid student was a dcjiale ! On tho strength of these suspicions, application was made to a justice for warrants to arrest the doctor and his student. these were granted the arrests were made tho suspicions proved true and both were bound over, in tho sum of $500 each) to appear at tho Maick court." .Iitccdole of the JievolUlion.

They were suffering for provisions and clothing, and Congress had been repeatedly pctttioil- cd for that relief which it was not in their power to bestow. Under these circumstan ces, Col. M'Larie paraded his band of suf- ffermg soldiers, and harangued tlicm as fol lows : "Fellow Soldiers ! You've served your country faithfully and truly.

Habit and Principle. Habit is stronger than principle : young men generally be lieve principle to be stronger than habit, and tlierclore indulge m many things of danger ous tendency, under the belief that they can at any time stop before evil is the conse quence. 1 his is a dangerous error, and thou sands have been ruined by entertaining it. A writer in the Knickerbocker has the fol lowing just remarks on the subject : " Moralists may talk abotlt principle as they please. It is good in the abstract. Men must have habits of goodness, or they will fail, whll the purest intentions in the world. It is hard to find out where habit ends or principal begins ! Why, it is con science, common sense. It puts us in a good path, it points out when we havo lost the way ; but habit governs us. Habit begets principle.and bad principles are some times only sophistry that is Want of com mon sense. I pray God to give me good habits ! You may reason about the excel lence of virtue and temperance till you die : j on never will become morally pure, until you are first physically so. Dr. Johnson said a very foolish thing when he said, man may have good principles and bad prac tice."
