The Texas Republican. [volume] (Marshall, Tex.) 1849-1869, 1850-05-02

:. You will see that Austin wants near l'"o
votes 10 get majority Of the whole vote cast,
and we think Tehuacanah viii be the place yet
From the above, aud the news generally that
ha, been received, think ii quite probable that
another election viii have TO be holden, as a
majority Of the whole number II votes east, -
requisite 10 elect place The two getting the
hi,,he., number OF votes viii be run Austin
and Tawakanah, Of course. In the even, oil
another election, am of opinion that Tawakn-
ma would be elected for it would get, think,
ALI Of the vote of Eastern and Middle Texas,
which has been recently divided between Pa'es-
fine. Huntsville and Washington. This vote
too, will be greatly increased in the next cleo
ton, as there will be more general interest
felt in The result.
The country between this place and Marshall
is generally beautiful; the lands about like
Harrison county. The improvements along
the road show that great number OF cmigranis
have come in during the last two years. This
county will certainly increase rapidly in popu-
Iation and wealth, provided the Sabine, which
bounds it ON the northeast is successfully nav
irn,cd, rs think i, WI be. There is consider
able excitement here now on the subject OF the
Sabine navigation. A meeting was 10 have
been held here this evening for the purpose OF
having speech upon the Importance OF the
matter, and to get up subscription for build
iur or char,ering a steamboat; but court did
not adjourn until late, and the meeting was not
called The project seems 10 meet with favor
able consideration. The sinking Of the Be9aio'
will operate fear, uniworabsc 10 tho "a,'ea
lot unless the people push the matter ahead
with determined spirit. II is reported here
that another boat has been TO Frcdonia and has
taken away all the cotton ilia, was lying at that
place, but il does no, appear 10 be wcll-'oundcd
Many Of the farmers are planting cotton with
the expectation of shipping the proceeds down
the Sabine mex, season.
Tyler is situated near the center Of the eoun-
~. and is surrounded with fertile lands, which
ARE filling up with an enterprzing. industrious,
and thrifty population. The place is improving
slowly at present, but when the country around
is settled sufficiently TO sustain it, morn capital
will be invested in building up the town; which
time think not very far distant. There are
about two hendred inhabitants in the place.
Among the buildings, notice one school house,
six business houses, one hotel, one tailor shop
one Tin chop and substantial little building
vi re they keep the yioaiors nf tie law, Sev-
cra frame buildings are in course Of erection.
one Of which Is intended for Masonic Hall,
This building is to be two stories high, and
when completed will speak well for the enter
prisng spirit Of the "brethrcn Of the mystic
tie" There is Division Of the Sons Of Tem-
perancc here, who nrc, doubt not, doing much
good. ! am pleased with the population, and
particularly with their sociable manners.
Knowing rs do your aversion to long CON-
muncations, will conclude. Yours, SC.
FRANK.
Ps. Enclosed | send thirty-tro new sub
scribers to the Republican, and will probably
get some more before leave here.
