IIoUsroN, Texas, Jan. 10Th, 1888.
The Srumors of war which were SO
prevalent here Is or 30 days ago,
have all passed over, and it is positive
y known here, that the Mexicans
cannot fit out an invading army this
season. In the mean time, cmigrants
arc poaring in, with rapillty almost
unknown, cycr in this country. From
the lst of Aug. to the lst. of Jan.
500 wagons crossed the Sabine at
Gaines Ferry for this country. When
you take into consideration the many
that have came by water, and the
many who have crossed at other pla-
ces.vou can form SOHO estimate oftheir
numbers.
l sec from the papers ofthe U. s.
that some of our friends in that coun-
ry are EabOring under Il mlsaPPre-
hcnslon, in regard to the amount OF
our public debt, and that some of them
fear our inability to redeem our Treas
uary Notes. This opinion is doing
our creditsmuch injury, when a simple
statement of facts, will set the matter
right, and show that our finances are
in much better situation than any
government Of two years old which
has existed on the face Of the Globe.
have gathered some information on
the subject which will remove any
fears which our friends may entertain.
The government has authorized the
issue Of but s65O,OOO of the Treas
ury Notes. None can be issued ex-
cept on regularly audited claims.
Not moro than s50O,OOO Of the APP
preparation Sas gone out Of the treas
ury; and one thnd of that amount has
alTaady found its way back. AS it is
receivable for all mof6as due the gov
ernment, to the exclusion of all Bank
paper. considerable amount necess-
arily finds its way into the Treasury
every day, which is received, and
forms the principle currency of oul
country. In this way the public deb
isyery rapidly decreasing and tho mo
ncy returning TO the treasury. The fol

AT the solicitation of a particular friend
vo give place to the following lines:
On Bigby's height at full midday,
The mud had not yet passed away
When four young ladies passed that way,
To veiw ''Thc Lovers Leap"
Two trusty fricn DIS Of well known skill,
Ono vcrsed in filing pleas and bills,
other III lotions, drops and pills,
Were also at 'thc lovers leap"
The turbid waters dashed on by,
Each stood and looked with eager cyc,
Ever and anon silent sigh,.
Was hoard at lovers leap"
A painful silence rested there
Each. looked at each with curious stare
When 10 noise did rcnd the air
About ''t!.e lovers loop."
Each eye looked down tho muddy stream
To seq what all this noisc%did mean;
When sSon the sight of smoke was seen,
Far from the lovers leap"
"a boat! boat ~ each voice did cry.
''Sce how it throws tho smoke on high.
at darkens cen the very sky,
above the lovers lssp.'"
The tOat made quite grand display,
As she bore up the WaterV way,
Throwing waves Il foams quite far away,
From bout the . lovers leap"
She ars'd them by at rapid speed,
They hailed her oft; She did not heed,
But~eom'd full bout, to ''go ahead"
q And left them at ''thc lovers ic,p."
4 sigh wus heard throughout tie ranks,
OF them, that stood on Bigby's banks,
Trey formc a line, in close phalanx,
And left " the lovers leap"
No nccls were broke upon tina ground.
Twas thought oncl heart re;icyed
wound.
.FisShoped tie assassin may bc found,
And tired at = levers leap"

This estimate will leave an unex-
pended balance in the Treasury on
lst Jan. 1880, 5000, 900, after having
satisfied every demand against the
government. Every estimate which
| have here made, is in all probability
much to small. The taxes for 1898
must amount to more than 100000,
which is the amount here specified.
For no taxes has been paid on land.
which is not decided. There Is more
than 5000 leagues in that situation
in the possession of actual settlers.
They have a preference right of six
M onths, at the expiration of which time
it must be taken out of the office,
or it will be liable to be taken by other
claimants. This will bring the sum
of 100000 into the treasury, and the
whole oft Will pay tax for the cur
rent year.
The Land Offices will open on the
first Thursday in February. The whole
of this amount, together with the re-
ceipts Of the Custom House, must be
paid in our Treasury Notes or in
gOLd9- SllUer. It will more than consume
the whole appropriation; and as the gov
ernmentis not authorized to loan them
ut,but only issue for regular cxpcnces,
a large proportion Of this amount must
be paid in gold and silver. In less
therefore from three months after the
opening of the land Office, without
farther appropriation from the Treas
ury, merchants an emigrants from the
U. S. will have to furnish themselves
with specie for the payment of duties,
&such lands as they may wish to par
chase from the government.
The estimate for the receipt of the
Custom Houses, for the present year
($6OO,OOO) is in probability much to
small The amount actually paid
in for six months ending the 9th of
Jan. inst was $4,000. Our popula-
ton is rapidly increasing, and our
imports will in all probability be dou-
bled. But admitting they arc no grea-
ter in proportion than they were last
year, they would amount to s634,O00 ;
but l wish to keep within bounds. So
our friends in the States need have
no fear ofour abllityto redeem our treas
ury notes. We shall, in all probable
ity be out of debt on the lst Jan. 1889.

Coz. BARKER: Ihave seen from the
papers of the city of Washington, tat
three thousand young ladies of Boston
have forwarded a memorial to the
Congress of the United States against
the annexation of Texas to that Coun-
try. AS this was matter Of important
national policy, our bachelors thought
it necessary to take some measures
TO convince the dear creatures that
they were in error. They have there
fore procured the signatures of 5000
bachelors to the following memorial
and request me to toward it to you to
have it forwarded to the aforesaid Ia
dies. If you cannot send it all the way
YOU will please send it as far "dOtOn

other person to take charge of it. SC
