Dear Sir-lf letter occasionally from this city,

interest well as it is elsewhere; and if the follow

more.
Our congress is now in session ana the City of
Austin is quite lively and business like; but few
measures OF importance before coAgress. The
fine Cherokee Indian lands going to be seetioai
zed and sold at public sale shortly. They comprise
of the finest and most produetis bodies of
lands; and Of all the fine lands in Texas ther are
none to lie compared to them for beauty fertility,
heathness, or any other quality that enhances the
value of land. That region of counlry tween the
Trinity aud Red Rivers is being populated rapidly.
The crops this past season have been truly abun.

have become more settled and firm in Texas than
heretofore; an earnestn is exhibited all sides
and agricuturaly on a sound and healthy basis.
Men OF capital and standing have changed and
changing their former places Of residence for this
country. The general character of those that emf

All we want is the recognition of our inde-

A wide and grand field for enterprise ill then be
open for the action Of our merchants, in shape of
trading with Santa Fe Chihuahua, and other 1Iexi-

OF several complaints which have been made to the
Magistrates, respecting alleged nuisance at a
Dutch boarding house, situate No. l0l Washington

ball room filed to repletion, with motley group of
dutch young ladies' and gentlemen, who were gent
" tripping il" TO The sound of fiddler, somewhat
less scientific than the great Psganini. The Ma
gistraie pronounced the fddling TO be noisy, and
the dancixs not only immoral, but against the sta
tnte, and then told the young ladies and young gen
tlemep, that he should take the whole to the tombs
This, however, was easier said than dose for
galar fight easued, in which the Dutch girls be-
haved most manfully, flooring the indsfatigables,
and knocking about these who came TO aid and
sist in the most martial manner. In this s'ate of
things, a truce was concluded with the fair fgu-
rantes, one Of the terms Of which was. that their
bearx were to surI render, and the fair ones per-
mitted TO go home. This being arranged, twenty
four young gentlemen surrendered at discretion,
kissed their sweethearts and conducted to the
tombs. In the morning they were all brought up;
but could not speak English, and some would
not, they were recommitted uaiil Monday, to boar
what they had to say for themselves.
