RAILROAD OFFICE,)
Habrisbvro, Texas, June 29, 1855. i
NOTICE is hereby riven, that tbe work on the
extension of the B. B., B. AC. Railway, from
Stafford's Ponrr to Richmond, is now being
pressed witk the utmost vigor by the energetic Con-
tractors, Messrs. Kyle & Terry, with a view to Us
completion to the Brazos river in time to enable the
Merchants and Planters to order their foil supplies
by that route.
The R. R. Company, anxious to accommodate the
public, have offered their Contractors, in addition to
their contract prices, $100 for each day the Railroad
a hall have been completed prior to October 1st; and
the public mmg rely upon its completion within the
«rath of September.
With the completion of this road to Richmond,
the Brazos bottom an<l the low, wet prairie east of
it, will forever cease to be obstacles to the travel
and transportation of the West.
Ample Warehouses !tre being erected in Harris-
burg and Richmond; new roads are being opened
to Richmond, and several new bridges have been
built, and others are conic mplated, over the Ber-
nard, Ac.
Stages from Richmond, and Steamboats from
Harrisburg, will run regularly in connection with
the Railroad, immediately upon its completion—
thus making e continuous route from Galveston to
Austin and all intermediate points, cheaper, twenty-
four hours quicker, and more regular and reliable
than has ever hitherto existed—the advantages of
which can only be appreciated by experience.^
Merchandise or supplies for the interior, designed
for transportation on this route, arriving previous
to September 2Uth, can be stored in Harrisburg un-
til ordered to be forwarded to meet wagons. If de-
aired, goods will be delivered at the Station six
■dies east of Richmond, by giving one day's notice
to Railroad Freight Agent, or Consignee at Harris-
burg, between 2uth August and 2Uth September.
The Steamboat and Stage Connections with Rail
road and the Crossing of the Brazos River, will,
perhaps, call for the indulgence of the public at the
outset; but it is the determination of the Company
to make them entirely unexceptionable at the ear-
liest period practicable.

LAWYER'S CARDS.
of
"THE TEXAS SUN,"
a weekly newspaper, to be published ix the
citt of richmond, texas.
The undersigned will commenced the publication
of a newspaper, in the City of Richmond, Texas,
on the first Saturday in January, 1855, entitled
"THE TEXAS SUN."
In embarking in an enterprise of this kind, cus-
tom demands that we should indicate (for more than
this cannot be done in a prospectus) what objects
we have in view, as well as the means by which
said objects are to be accomplished. This, we will
attempt, in as few words as possible.
Our aim shall be to make the SUN, emphatically
a Family Newspaper, excluding at all times from
its columns, everything opposed to a refined and
cultivated taste, and to which the most fastidious
could object. Agriculture, Internal Improvements,
and the Education of the masses by a general sys-
tem of Common Schools, being primary objects with
us, shall receive particular attention; but the SUN
will be strictly Independent in Politics and Re-
ligion, as we believe that a'discussion of the means
by which the intellectual and physical resources of
Texas may be developed, to be much more impor-
tant than that of political abstractions, or speculative
theories etreligion.
That a properly conducted press, of a high moral
tone, is essential to the well being of every commu-
nity, is a truism which will suggest itself to every
intelligent and observant mind; while all. who have
closely watched the progress of events in this coun-
try, will readily admit that the press is " the power
behind the throne," since the preservation of order
the prevention of crime, ana the the execution
of the laws, depend more upon public sentiment, as
reflected through the press, than upon the number
or the stringency of legislative enactments; in fine,
its influence, direct or reflex, is sensibly felt by all
classes in our republic—by the statesman who
shapes his course in accordance with its behests, no
less than by the mechanic and artisan, who consult
it more or less in the formation of their opinions re-
specting public affairs. Such considerations as the
foregoing, we trust, will secure for this enterprise
the approbation and favor of the citizens of Rich-
mond and its vicinity, and prompt them to co-ope-
rate with us in the establishment of a paper which
will faithfully represent their interests, and correctly
reflect their sentiments.
This enterprise commends itself particularly to
the citizens of Western Texas. By the time we
propose publishing the Sl'N, the cars will have
commenced runniug regularly from Harrisburg to
Richmond, which will enable us to publish the cur-
rent news of the day in advance of any Western
journal; added to this, the facilities afforded by a
line of Telegraph from Houston to Richmond—
a line which will doubtless be built in a short
time—and the SUN will possess advantages equal
to those enjoyed by any of the Eastern journals,
while Richmond will assume, with respect to the
Brazos and Colorado valleys, the position heretofore
occupied by Houston.
The editorial and financial management of the
SUN nrill be under the exclusive control of one of
its proprietors, R. IIerndon Rawlings, who will
devote his whole time and energies to these depart-
ments. The other proprietors hope to add much
interest to its columns by contributing valuable in-
formation, in the way of correspondence from the
various portions of the State to which they may be
led by professional engagements. When we add to
these resources the correspondence of our numerous
friends :.n the Eastern cities, (whose services have
been engaged,) we feel justified in declaring that
the SUN shall not fail to compare favorably with
any paper in Texas.
As to its size and dress, we have only to say that
one of the firm is now en route to New York, for the
express purpose of purchasing Hoe's Washington
Press, No. 5, and furnishing the office, generally,
with entirely new materials. Having to pay cash
for our office, and intending to pay onr hands, month-
ly, with the same commodity, we are compelled to
decline the insertion of all advertisements unaccom-
panied by the cash.

Correspondent of Henry Clay.
mHE subscriber being now engaged in an en-
X largement and completion of his Lite and Times
of Henry Clay, finds 011 examination of Mr. Clay's
papers and correspondence a^ Ash land, that his pri-
vate correspondence is of material importance as an
exhibition of his character and history, and of those
portions of the times with which he was connected.
As Mr. Clay was not in the habit of taking copies
of his own letters, they are now scattered over the
country in the hands of his numerous correspon-
dents, and have doubtless been preserved. No mat-
ter how private or even confidential the correspon-
dence may have been, if not of a nature to render
its posthumous publication improper, it is a very ef-
fective mode of illustrating character, and it is often
important in history. The subscriber, therefore,
respectfully and earnestly requests all correspon-
dents of Mr. Clay whether in the earlier or later
periods of his life, in public or in private stations,
who may be in possession of original letters from
Mr. Clay on any subject whatever, not sacred to
privacv after death, that they will be pleased if not
inconsistent with their feelings, to forward such
letters to the publishers of the work. A. S. Barnes
&. Co., 51 John street, New York, and they may be
assured that their letters will be returned, or sub-
ject to their order, according to instructions that
may be given.
The subscriber will also be greatly obliged for
any communication relating to Mr. Clay that may
be thought new and important, address to the care
of A. S. Barnes & Co., as above mentioned. As
they design to publish the work in the coining
Spring, it will be seen that immediate attention to
this request will be necessary to make it available.

tors of newspapers who may take sufficient interest
in this notice, to give it circulation.

A New Star in the Literary Firmament.
NELLY BRACKEN,
A Domestic Tale of Forty Years Ago.
BY ANNIE CHAMBERS BRADFORD.
Retid the Crilies' opinion of Nrtlp.
AFRESH and glowing picture of life in Ken-
tucky, imbued with a feeling very winning to
the reader.— Winchester Virginian.
We like the preface and the book. The author's
name is new to us, but she is evidently a writer of
promise; the story is attractive, the style easy,
graphic and graceful; there is much beauty of sen-
timent and expression, and that mingling of humor
and pathos, like bright rainbow hues painted on
tears, which is a characteristic with many of the
masters of light literature—Fredericksburg S'cies.
This is no dull, prosy, every day affair, but a
genuine heart and mind engrossing story; should
tbe publisher resort to the modern way of giving
merit to a book, by pulling it and its writer with
money brought squibs through all the newspapers
in Christendom, we hazard the opinion that it would
not only be a really entertaining cook, but a won-
derful book, the demand for which would be so con-
stant and miraculous, as to require a legion or less
of steam presses, well manned for the service.
The authoress of Ncllv Uracken is with us anew,
but by no means an unwelcome acquaintance. We
have in our library those more noted, but none that
we should allow to crowd aside Annie Chambers
Bradford, it matters not whether she be " sweet six-
teen," or the shady side of five and thirty. The
plot, sum and substance of this " Tale of Forty Years
Ago," we have not time or space the present week
to explain, and had we time even, it is best that
those who have a taste for well wrought narratives
should read, understand arid judge for themselves;
The book is handsomely printed and contains 377
papes.—Lairrenre Journal.
Well written and interesting. A vein of deep
religious feeling runs through its pages, and the
moral it points cannot be too earnestly heeded.—
Yankee Blade.
The tale, the scene of which is laid in the far
west, is one of absorbing and enforcing interest, its
characte rs have indiuidualities aud are creations, not
fabrications; its negroes and negroc talk are life
itself; its scenes are highly dramatic, and entirely
within the modesty of nature; and in the pathos
which touches our purest and homliest sympathies,
it is beyond any American book of the present day.
Indeed, the genuineness of its sentiment, its perfect
purity, and the marked individuality aud trth ofits
characters to nature, give it a high eminence among
the books of the day, and especially among those
which come from female pens. The authoress has
fcstyle of her own; her thoughts take the form
which best becomes them—a sure indication of Gen-
uine inborn talent, if not genius. If Nelly Bracken
be her first novel, we trust that she will soon write
a second upon a similar plot. Our readers have
heard, perhaps, of an oasis iu a desert: well, Nelly
Bracken is the oasis of the dreary desert of the.
American female literature of the day.—Neir York,
Courier and Enquirer.
Unless we very much misjudge this volume from
a hasty examination, it is" destined to no mean
rank among the original works of American ficliou.
Its writer's name, we presume to be not nom de
plume, but genuine, and of a daughter jf Kentucky.
It is a first effort, and is one full of promise of yet
greater excellence. Its scene is laid chiefly in Ken-
tucky, forty years since, or at the days of its early
settlement, when Lexington was but a small hamlet,
and the Louisville of the present day had no exis-
tence. It has much of that interest which attaches
to a well told tale of border, semi-civilized and In-
dian life. Its characters are well drawn and well
sustained; the story is probable, natural in its de-
velopment, and is quite interesting, and the whole
is written with evident care, and with a style indic-
ative of a culivated and vigorous mind. — Boston

R. R. REGULATORS, No. 3.
A neto principle in Medicine, never before
known or possessed by any purgative,
Cathartic, or antt Bilious Pills in
use. The true way to Purify
the Blood. Let all who
have ever taken Pills
read and inves-
tigate the Theory on
which Radtray's Regu-
lators are founded. They are
the most perfect Pills in use, and
the only Pills that possess any new med-
ical properties, or regulating powers, that
have been discovered during
the present century.
The action of Radway's Regulators on the human
system establishes a new principle in medicine, vis,
that the blood cannot be purified by the direct or
specific action of any drug upon it, as an egg or
piece of isinglass purifies our cotfee. We are aware
that many learned doctors, writers on materia med-
ica, and proprietors of popular medicines, gravely
assert this doctrine and recommend their remedies
to possess this mysterious property of clearing the
blood. We deny that such is the* fact, and we as-
sert that no medicine can purify the blood except
through the medium of the glands, viz, tbe liver,
pancreas, skin, kidneys, bowels, Ac., which are
the sewers that nature has established for this pur-
pose. Radway's Regulators exert a controlling in-
fluence over these glands, compensating for any
un warrantable action or sluggishness on their part,
by which the proper amount of excretions is ex-
pelled from the blood, leaving this fluid in its natu-
ral state.
Radiray's Regulators
possess another important principle which no other
medicine, in the form of pills, ever yet possessed,
namely: that of leaving the boteels and all other organs
iu the system, regular aud healthy, after they operate.
Radway's Regulators
are the most mild, effectual, perfect purgative, ca-
thartic, aperieut, anti bilious regulating pills ever
discovered or given to the people. They are a
great lamilv physic for general use.
Quick and pleasant in their action.
Mild and effectual in their optrution,
Never sicken, gripe or weaken the system,
Elegantly coated 1cith gum, perfectly tasteless.
They regulate, to a natural and healthy action,
and remove all morbid humors from the liver, skin,
bowels, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, glands, lungs,
and purify the blood by cleansing the sewers of the
system, and regulating every organ to a natural
and healthy action. Those who desire health
should search for the proper remedies to aid nature
iu ridding their bodies of disease and infirmities.
Great Mistake of Pill Doctors.
Tlie most popular pills are deficient iu ther coin-
position and medical properties. Manufacturers
of the best vegetable purgative, or anti bilious pills
of the present ceutury, have overlooked the most
importont properties that pills should possess, viz,
the regulating powers of their pills. No one can
enjoy perfect health uuless each and every organ
possess a healthy and uatural actiou.
Their Quick Action.
Radway's Regulators are prepared on the same
theory as Radway's Ready Relief—to act quick and
to relieve the patient from the distressing ailments
that atltict the system immediately. As soon as the
regulators are swallowed they begin their work of
regulating the system, and exercise over the dis-
eased parts a healthy influence. If troubled with
coughs, colds, influenza, sore throat, colds in the
head, hoarseness, take from two to four of the Reg-
ulators on going to bed, and iu the morning all dif-
ficulty will be removed. If troubled with costive-
ness, indigestion, disease of the liver or kidneys, a
few doses of Radways Regulators will remove the
difficulty and restore the system to order, regularity
and health. Radway's regulators are pleasant in
their operation, and elegantly coated with gum,
never sicken or gripe the patient; they are free
from mercury or calomel, and will surely restore
the weak and sickly to health aud strength.
The Bowels.
Radway's Regulators do not act exclusively un
the bowels by the force of their irritatiug properties,
but by their regulating etlects upon the liver, pu i
creas, kidneys and ail other organs iu the system,
induce a thorough discharge ot tu/tU bile and pancre-
atic juice into the Ooicels, thus using nature's purgatice
riz, the bile and pancreatic juice, to operate on the bote-
els, Radtcays Regulators are the only pills iu use that
more the botrels in a natural manner; all other purga-
tive pills note (K use more the boteels by their irritating
properties on the coats of the intestines, in the same
manner that the botrels are moral by the irritation of
food eaten that disagrees with the stumach; all these
scouring operations are attciuled with great pain, and
invariably leave the boteels costive, and the system pros-
trated with feebleness and irregularity.
The following ailments Radways Regulators will
quickly cure, and free the system from all irritating
humors, and leave every orgau in the body in a
natural and healthy condition :
Costiceness, Biliousness, Dyspepsia, Kidney Com-
plaints, Bladder Complaints, Indigestion, Constipation
of the Bowels, Inflamumtion of the Bowels, Inflamma-
tion of the Kidneys, Headache, Nervous, Headache,
Sick, Measles.
Difficulty of Passing Water.
Bad Breath, Bad taste in the Mouth.
Malignant Disorders.
Small Pox, Bilious Fever, Influenza, Scarlet Fever,
Typhus Fever, Pleurisy.
Fevers of all kinds,—All Female
Complaints.
Irregularity, Hysteria, Whites, Prolapsus UteriP
ll'omb Difficulties, Amenorrhaa.
Unhealthy Drains.
Loss of appetite, loss of memory, and loss of
strength. Each and all of the above difficulties
Radway's Regulators will quickly cure.
Important Fever Treatment. Pneumonia.
This distressing and ofttiuics fatal malady, will
readily yield to the influence of Radway's Regu-
lators and the U R Belief. We have cured hundreds
of persons in Georgia and Alabama, where Pneu-
monia raged iu localities as epidemic, by the R It
Regulators and R R Relief.
In all Ferers.
Radway's Regulators will prove effectual and pro-
tect the system against fatal consequences. It
Radway's Regulators are taken iu good doses, from
four to six every six hours on the first symptoms of
fever, the patient will soon recover. No person
has ever yet died under the R R R treatment.
The Licer.
There is 110 medicine so effectual in curing all
disorders of the liver as Radway's Regulators. Over
blue pills and all mercurial mcdiciuc, they are
greatly superior.
They act much better and quicker upon the liver
than blue pills, and all other liver pills, and will
not endanger the system with the injuries inflicted
by mercury.

THE wide spread fame of these splendid Period-
icals, renders it needless to say much ir .heir
praise. As literaiy organs, thev stand foi n ad-
vance of any works of a similar stamp new, .. Jahed ;
while the political complexion of each is marked
by a dignity, candor, and forbearance, not often
found in works of a party character.
They embrace the views of the three peat naitica
in England—Tory, Whig, and Radical—" Blark-
wood " and the " London Quarterly " are Tory; the
" Edinburg Reriew " Whig; and the "Westminster
Review " Radical. The "North British Review" ia
more of a religious character, having been originally
edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his destii,
being couducted by bis son-in-law, Dr. Hanna, u-
sociated with Sir David Brewster. Its literarv
character is of the very highest order. The "West-

Early Copies.—Our late arrangement with the
British publishers of Blackwood's Magazine, re-
cures to us early sheets of that work, by which weara
enabled to place the entire number in the hande ef
subscribers before any portion of it can be reprinted
in any of the American Journals. For this aró
other advantages secured to our subscribers, we pa;
so large a consideration, that we may be compelled
to raise the price of the Magazine.
Something may therefore be gained by subscribí -.f
early.
