Texas.
The Galveston Civilian gives the following ac-
connf OF the nature, objects and operations OF
the German Association for planting colony in
Texas:--
The management Of the affairs Of the associ-
alton has been entrusted to Count de Castle. a
distinguished military officer, holding commits
sion in the service of Austria, and at present at
Msyence, the seat OF The confederation. The
object is to intI oduce INTO this country from SIX
to ten thousand asriculturalis.s from the surplus
population OF Germany. This inc asure has been
determined upon from information furnished by
Count l., from which it was decided by the
distinguished and philothropc personages en-

the best field for the prosecution Of their designs
for their Improvement Of the condition of their
people, by removing the excess of population
to new country, presenting an extended field

both those who 60 and those who remain. The
object is to provide those who emigrate with
all the means necessary tn sustain them until
their industry has been made available for. their
own support in this new field, and also 1operly
to direct that industry. Liberal overtures were
made to the company, both in Brazil and Gaute-
mala, for colonization in those counties: but
Texas was preferred, both on account of its soil
tutions apd the hardy enterprising character
of its inhabitants. and its promising prospects.
! Count de Castle has succeeded in obtaining the
support Of the King of Prussia TO his enterprise.
and, al the last accounts, vas about to secure
the cooperation Of the Emperor Of Austria. It
