TO THE PATnONTTTE REG I ST Fit. Tho undorsicned having purchased of F. A.Tvrxa 'Esq.. the Weekly Kcgis lerOi'cr, deem it their duly to address themselves to its Patrons and the public, in relation to the manner in whichit will, in future, be conducted. In thus assuming the h;gh duty of conducting a public journal, they may, perhaps have presumed too mucn upon their abilities and the indulgence of the public; but they feel assured, that if application and unremitting atteniion, be the chief requisites to ensure the patronage of a liberal and enlightened public, the success of the Register will be certain. The political aspect of the Register, will undergo no change. To the Whig party we belong; and in the ranks oi that party, we intend to do battle, wheth er victory perch .upon our standard, or defeat and ruin rage around us. We hold the principles of the Whig party to be the true principles of the Govern ment the principles handed down to us by the sages of 76. Although the result of the recent con test has proved most disastrous to us although our banner has trailed in the dust although its "star3 and stripes have grown suddenly dim," and our armies routed and scattered, every where, yet, like valiant soldiers, we will snatch up our banner, and brush the dust from its folds; and rally for anoth er contest. The Register will;not he devoted ex clusively to Political intelligence. As "variety is the spice of life," we intend to amuse and delight out readers, while we shall at the same time publish what will both edify and instruct and 'as the publishers will confine their attention, exclusively to the business ofconduct : ii.o nnnpr. thev may venture to lilii haw I 1 - - j ihPir svbscribers an interest- in journal. For the next two years a potitical contest for the Presidency is not to be anticipated; and, during such time, we intend to strive by all means to please our patrons of both parties, always giving all a fair chance to be heard, excluding personalities, and giv ing offence to none. The Terms of the Register, will be g3 00 in advance. Wm. S. KEITH. F, Y. ROCKETT. TanolaDcc, 14, 1844. As will appear from our head, ve have changed the name of our paper. Pollard, Mop kins &Co.

MSSCELIiArtiEOUS. THE OLD MAID'S FIRST OFFER. I must tell you the heart-rending sto ry I have long wished to do so, and the time has at length arrived. Here her voice dropped into a confidential whisper. Poor dear Major Orilvie, who is now dead and gone heigh ho! had long been showing the marked attention, in fact, paying his addresses, though ho never made his declarations; when one morning, after having sung a song of Faninelli's the music I be. lieve was G tusk's ah you should have heard tho Major, he was such a sweet singer. Well, the Doctor had gone out to buy newly invented fish sauco poor dear man! he does like to have his fish well dressed and I re member he took Fanchette, my little beauty of a spaniel with him, so that the Major and I were alone in the breakfast parlor, when looking'in my face he sud denly went en one knee before me ah! there was gallantry in those days and taking my hand, which he ten derly pressed, made a pasionate avowal of his love. I felt myself blnshing crimson, when t this agitating moment, just as I was going to utter a palpitating confession of my partiality, my eyes bgan to twinkle in!my nose, my mouth opened in spite of myself 'and I sneezed likean explosion of gunpowder, right in his upturned and imploring face. Now, do tell me, lady Susan, you know how tremeudously I always sneeze, did you ever of all the awkward occur rences. The Major started, as well he might, but recovered nimself so did I he gazed at me 'enderly, expectingly ; and 1 was just about to relieve him from fh n frnnn suspense, -wnuu suosi.su " j iouder explosion, that seemed to j the price of Liberty scatter the noso from my face. This was a confusion to me and the Major, but still holding my imprisoned hand, and looking downward to avoid the shower bath I was unintentionally scat tering arond me, he swore that he ne ver would rise from his knees till I had pronounced. I uttered a heartfelt sigh, and tho soft avowa 1 was just trembling on the tip of my tongue, when I felt something on the tip of my nose. Lady Susan it was beginning to bleed! did you ever of all distressing mo mcnts! I struggled to withdraw my hand, that I might get my handkerchief in action, which the Major attributed to coyness, and therefore did he hold it more firmly. In the contest, after frightfully spotting my tubinet silk gown, three very large drops of blood fell upon the Major's wrist! He start ed up 1 closed my eyes and sunk into u chair overwhelmed-'. with confusion. Supposing 1 had fainted, the Major has tily seized a large tumblerof water and ! threw it into my face. At such an un expected soasing, I screamed with ter ror. The marshall powder which I wore I was always famous for my powder mingled with-the water and blood, converted my face in to a hideous spectacle; when just at that moment the door fiew open, and Fanchette, thinking that her mistress was killed, flew at the poor dear Major and bit4a large mouth ful oat of his leg; while the good horror-stricken Doctor let the bottle of new ly invented fis-h sauce fall from his hand and besmashed to pieces on the ' floor. Now, dearest Lady Susan, con sider what must have been my feelings! did you ever! such a scene. NEW POSTAGE LAW.

The number ol bees in this cavern must be incalculably great probably greater than the number ir a thousand or ten thousand ordinary hives. Tho oldest setters say that the hive was there when they first arrived in the country; and it is quile probable that it exists in the same state many years previous to the settlement of the country. The bees, it is said, have never swarmed' and it is not improbable that the hive has continued for more than a century to increase year after year, in the same ratio that other swarms increase. Tne cave appears to extend back many rods into the ledge, and probably has many lateral chambers. The bees.doubtlcs3 occupy many of these lateral chambers, and it is not improbable that new swarms annually find new chambers to occupy, and thus are prevented from going off to adistance in search of hives. j Some of the neighboring setlers have repeatedly, by blasting the recks, o pened a passage into some of these chambers, and procured, by this means many hundred lbs. of honey. But the main deposits are situated too deep in the ledgo to be reachd without great difficult' and perhaps danger. A com pany was formed at .Austin, a few years sinc, for the purpose of exploring the cabin and in moving the honey; but some untoward event prevented the ac complishment of the undertaking. Il was estimated that there are many tons of honey andjwax in this immense hive, and if ; its treasures could be extracted readily, they would doubtless be found far more valuable than the contents of any silver or gold mine, that adven turers have been seeking for years in that section. Texas Telegraph. We publish the following because we think it an important discovery Try it, Dr: Curing Horses Eves. There ia no disease so prevalent among horses at the south, as that of bad eyes. Thi is no doubt owing io the practice of put ting them under the saddle before they are sufficiently strong. The result is an affection of the spine, manifesting itself by diseased eyes. We have a very fine animal but six years old affected in this way and from this cause. One eye is almost entirely useless, altough inflamation was entirely removed by a seton leaving the pupil white. The other become inflamed covered with a bluish Aim, and a thick white spot had risen over nearly half the eye, when at the suggestion of an experienced sta ble keeper, we bled her at the nose by thrusting a pen knife into the soft flesh just above the nostril. The sesult was immediate reduction of the inflamation and restoration of sight, after a second second incision. Tho same gentleman has recovered the eyes of two horses, in me same way, wnicn seeineu erurn- !y gone one of them having actually sunk in the head. WTe consider the re medy an escelent one, and the matter of sufficient interest to give, it publicity. The knife should be employed every two or three days until a cure is is ef fected, which will most certainly take place. At least we have full confidence in the remedy. Many very valuable horses may be saved in this simple way rom becoming entirely blind. POPERY IN LOUISIANA, 1777. The following extract from a ser mon recently preached inNcwOrleansJ by the Rev. J.

Sir, said she, I have no right to the proper. ty, I sold it and received the full valuo for it. True, I invested the procees of the sale (and veryjnearly my all) in the stock of the Bank, and for the last eight years, have received no dividend on it; and am now told, that by tho op: erationof the Briscoe Law, I will looso every dollar thus invested. But was the sum ten times as much, I would not feel justified in taking back the pro. perty I sold to tho banks; because, I know that 1 would thereby do injury to to many widows and orphans, quite as little able to bear the losa as I am.
