New Paper.—We have received the first number of a weekly paper published at Crockett, Houston county, Texas, entitled the "Printer," edited and published by Mr. Oscar Dalton. Dalton is a talented and clever fellow. Many of our ancient inhabitants will remember him, in the various characters of Lady Randolph—and King Artaxerxes in early Thespian days. Since then, he has been actor on more than one stage, and now edits a neat sheet in Crockett—with the motto of venerable old "David," at its head—"Be sure you're right, and go ahead."
