n GOLD REGION.

Several small companies have recently pass
ed through our town In search Of the gold that
Is reported 10 cover the mountains and valleys
along the "Sandies." Without any disposition
To throw u we. blanket over the enterprise, we
publish on our first page an interesting sketch
entitled "a trip to the GOLD Diggings,' taken
from the South Western American, md which,
to our mind, contains far more wholesome
truth than poetry.
That there is gold in Tcxas-ay, on the ''San-
dies"-we have not the slightest doubt; but
that it can DC found in such immense piles"
as has been represented, and so extensively
circulated throughout the country, we consci-
cntiously believe to bc the greatest humbug OF
the age-a rusc, gotten up, to induce emigra-
ton to that section of the State, with the view
Of disposing Of lands and settling up the coun-
try.
We are more firmly convinced Of this, from
having recently seen and conyersed with sew
ernl intelligent gentlemen on the subject, who
have Just returned from the mines. They con-
firm, to some extent, the report of tho exist.
encc of %gold-that some small specimens have
been found, but, like angels visits, they are
"few and far between" and that, considering
the labor, toll, trouble, ETC., the game is not
worth tho candle.
We would, therefore, say to those who are
about visiting that portion Of Texas, in search
of what has Justly been termed the root Of all
evil, 10 keep cool and not suffer your minds to
be dazzled by the thousand and one glittering
runners that. arc waited by every mountain
breeze across the land. . Keep in view the old
axiom, "all is not gold that %elitters," remain ut
home with your families, cultivate your farms,
and our word for II, you will, at the end of the
year, nave rcapcd n richer harvest of gold, than
these who are now Mt the Mines seeking after
brilliant uncertainties.

OUR TOWN.

A little more than twelve months ago the
town Of Gonzales numbered about four hum
drcd inhabitants now she numbers nearly =
thousand. Then there were but few business
houses that gave to the passer-by even q res
pcctablc appearance, but since that time hou.
ses have sprung up A. by magic spell. On the
corner of nearly every square has been erected
large and ~comnodious store houses, all of which
are filed with fine assortments Of fancy and
staple dry goods.
Mr.. Darst has just completed two largo two
story houses, each go by 40 feet. Mcssrs.
Monroe have just moved into their new store,
20 by 10 feet. Mr.. Collins is now erecting,
and will soon have completed, a very handsome
two story brick building, which will do honor
to our town, and enable hint to treat his friends
and the travelling community generally, sin
n moro hostile manner" Messrs. Pcnncl &
Lovett have laid the foundation, and will soon
have erected, a large two story house, in which
they intend keeping n full and lnrgc supply OF
provisions. Many other improvements arc 60
ing on In different parts Of the town, anu nlany
beautiful cottages may be seen In every dircc-
ton, rejecting credit upon their owners, and
giving to our village a cheerful appearance
Among other improvements wc must not omit
to mention nur tNrrrh and Academy, both OF
which would do credit to older countries. Our
Church is large and spacious. above which Is
tho Masonic Hall, rejecting much credit and
honor to that ancient order. Our Academy is
built OF the best Of stone, is "a by GO feet, two
stories high, with n beautiful p%ortico on either
side supported by magnificent pillars. The
Academy is furnished, perhaps, with the best
set of Chemical and Astronomical apparatus in
the State. Mr.. Hillyior, the President, has just
finished his course Of Lectures in which he
gave general satisfaction to the community,
and ample proof of his thorough knowledge
of these two beautiful, interesting and useful
sciences.

the smoke Of the steamboat passing through
but o few seconds before the train came along;
they were going ut SO unusually rapid q ratio
that he forcsaw the accident and ran for bridge,
but before nc could get there the catastrophe
had occurred.
From the evidence nj the inquest, and from
the statements Of all who knew anything Of
the matter, we learn hat the signal ball had
been lowered full fifteen minutes previous to
the accident. We could not learn from any
passenger or citizen of tho place, nor from the
evidence adduccd ut the inquest, that the
whistle for Stacking speed had been heard, or
that any attempt had been made to break up
the speed, ms Is usual in going through a town;
IN the contrary, the speed was greater than
usual. This would seem to countcnance the
report that was current in Norwalk, to the
effect that at Stamford the Conductor had told
the Engineer to drive like hell through Nor.
walk, rs two men wanted to get of there. and
he would see them damned first.
Great gloom hangs oyer tile seer. of this
wholesale murie:, The ..ecria gamer in
groups, and speak in saddened whispers, tell
ing some new incident in this dreadful tragedy.
A young couple who were married in New
York last evening, were going to spend their
honeymoon in Boston, whcn their happiness
was shattered, aud the unfortunate bride, with
her jewclcs and robes still on her, met with u
watcry grave. There are many instances Of
the most hcartrcnding nature, that had we
time or space, We could relate, but the follow
ing must suffice. A young gentleman, by the
name of Robinson, asked us if we Ind heard
of the safety of Mrs. and Miss Robinson--(wc
had just cspicd their names from their dead
bodies)-hc was the son and brother of tho
two haplcss ladies'. We told him the truth /;
he was almost crazed.
The scene Mt the car-housc and hnggagc.
shall we forget 1t. Forty-six bodies of mon
and woman, and two little children were laying
around! The agonized features, some covered
with horrible Commissions, or deep gashcs-tho
foam issuing from the mouth and %nost,ils, the
clenched teeth and hands, and the wet garments,
formed n tablcau most horrible. The friends
or relatives of the deceased, wandering from,
corpse TO corpse, and eagerly searching for the
features of some loved one, rendering the scene
not unlike that of a field of battle.

Health Of Gonzales.

There is not another town or city, village or
hamlet, in the State. we verify believe, that
can boast OF better health thnn our own, Con.
zalcs. We do not make this broad md sweep
ing assertion in an idle and boasting shirt, but
in order that Trnth-powcrful and stubborn
Facts--may go forth, and the thousand and
one statements abroad, making Gonzales out
q perfect grave yard, may be d%iscrcditcd. We
have convcrsed with several of the older inhab.
itants on this subject, MS we'll MS those who
have more recently moved into the country,
and Mi agree that they never enjoyed better
health than they have in Gonzales. One gen.
tleman tells us that there has been but tso
deaths in tho town within tho last three years,
one was from extreme old age, and the other
was n case of consumption, which disease, was
contracted elsewhere. This, certainly, speak
voiumcs in favor of Gonzales; and We venture
the assertion that not another town in the State
can say the same. Other facts might be nell
toned, tending to provo our town equally as
healthy as the hcalthicst, bit Il is unnecessary
Let the above suffice.

the right and privilege, Of closely scrutinizing

We shall rely, to n great extent, on tho older
