GEORGiA....BY HENRY r. JACKSON.


Ye citizens of Georgia!
Ye have a noble State
And blest with every element
10 make people great.
She stretches from the mountain,
Through every varied cline,
10 where the hoar old ocean
Makes melancholy chime.
From an outgushing bosom,
Your wants she well supplies
Her generous soil beneath your feet,
Above-her generous skies.
There is no trace of beauty,
You find not on her brow
With her hills, and floods, and forests,
And her fields Of mimic snow,
Look forth upon her surface =
Could you ask brighter home =.
Yet her life is in its morning still
Her noon is still t. come.
Within her breasts are treasures,
More precious far than gold
She needs but Jealous spirits,
Her riches TO unfold.
Then why should you desert herr
Oh, wherein South or West
Can you meet sweeter realm Of earth
More generously hiest
Not in the wild adventure,
Nor, in the restless mind,
Does the exile and the rover
A true contentmeni find.
All broad may be the forests,
All bright may be the streams;
The sun, amid the western skies,
May shine with golden beams
And yet in vain yen wander
Ie cannot all forget
That ye were born of Georgia,
And she your mother yet.
Then, citizens of Georgia,
TO the loom, the plough and hoe
Let the din Of toll be loud and long
'iis all that's wanting now!
The hand Of earnest labor
Can make your noble Stale
What Nature has designed her
Rich, beauuul, and great?

and his companions in exile, arrived at Galveston
few days since, on the Wharton, from New ork.

The people of Texas, who have deeply sym
pathized in the great struggle IN which he has been
engaged, welcome him to he beautiful country won
by their valor from despotlsm in struggle des-
perate though more fortunate than that of unhappy
Hungary
@ Col, Pragay desires to settle with the Hunge-
rian exles who are to accompany him, in Western
Texas, for the purpose Of engaging in grape cul-
ture and sheep raising. They desire to form large
settlement, and have strong hopes of success.

FLAX CoTToN.-The experiments with M.
Claussens prepared fax, continues to yield the
most satisfactory results. yarn has now been
spun, consisting of three fourths fax and one
fourth cotton which has been pronounced at Man
chester to be exceedingly good, and which, it is
said, can be produced for I'd. "A cents) per pound
cheaper, than the same quality spun from ordinary
cotton. The use of the fax without admxture oil
cotton is also said to be attended by difficulties
and the material in that case is proportionably
cheaper Doubt, having been raised whether the
combned flax and cotton would be capable of re
ceiving uniform color in dyeing, that point ha,
lik-via been tested with equal success. M
