The following is an interesting extract
from one ofthe letters of Mr. Jacobs, editor
ofthe Port Gibson Herald, who is now in
Texas Regiment in Mexico.
Above Reynoso the country becomes
more picturesque. Chains ofsiopihg hills
crowned TO the summit with the rich and
varied foliage of this tropical cline, CONT
nne along the banks of the river upon the
Mcrican side. The population, too, seems
TO improve. The inhabitants are of much
lighter compexion and in better circum-
stances. The trees increase also in size,
number and variety. The dwarf muskeet
is now interspersed with ash, willow, a
species of elm, Hgnu272 vit9 &c, The
shubberry also increases in variety, though
but few kinds arc at present in bloom. /
must however, describe to you magnfi-
cent specimen of the Mimosa, or sensitive
plant, which found in n corn field few
DAYS ago; ii as about ten feet in height,
resembling rose bush, and having thorns
like he rose, upol lis stalks and branches

| forgot 10 mention that notWithstand-
ing the inceSsant rains, and bad cultiva-
ton, the cotton here looks extremely we'll.
The stalk is vigorous, branches well and
is filed with young bolls, squares and
blossoms, and not more forward here than
in Mississippi.
The cotton raised here is said to be of
very superior quality, but | have not yet
had an opportunity ofjudging | examin-
ed handful of last years crop at a rancho
yesterday, which thought very inferior,
resembling bad Louisiana, it was not per-
haps a fair specimen.
The corn raised here is very fine. The
cobS are long and well filled with Il large,
square hnty grain, semilransparent white
ness, far superior to any | have seen at
home.
We find neither hogs nor sheep here,
but abundance of horned cattle, of the best
quality, also good horses occasionally and
the best ~ IS ever saw in my life. We
stopped lpIS moruingto wood, near a small
village, the entire population of which,
with the AIcaIde at their head, turned out
to greet us, they all appear very friendly,
and IN fact have reason TO be so, for since
Gamers have commenced running on the
Rio Grande, they find a market at high
