CATTLE DRIVING TO CALIFORNIA.

The papers for year past have given accounts Of the
great number of cattle driven from the Western States
to California writer in Southern California describes
enterprise Of that sort in which lie was engaged He
says: ""
g started from San Antonio Texas, on the 1st Of
April, 1854, III company with party of stock drovers
from that section Of the State. U may say here incl
denay that the report Of high prices in the market of
California for beef cattle, which reached Texas III the
early part of the present year. has given rise to active
speculation in Texas stock and consequently the road is
now full Of beef cattle from Texas, destined for this
Market from fifteen to twenty thousand is the lowest
estimate have heard of the number AT present prices
here there will be great losses sustained by drovers
From San Antonio to Ell Paso the road is excellent
one, the main portion of the way leading high,
dry and grayeiy table land, constituting perhaps the
best natural road in the world For go miles grass and
water Of fine duality abound hut for the last 400 miles
OF the route grass becomes scarce and water IS not to be
found in sufficient quantities for the stock drover. This
territory is at present infested by perhaps the most bold
daring and dangerous Of the Indian tribes the Musicale
ros Apaches." .~# ~.... ... '.
After stating the difficulties which drovers have to
counter with Indians, he concludes:
From FL Paso tho road is for the greater part an ex
celent wagon way similar in structure and quality to
that already described Some difficult passes in the
mountains contribute the exceptions this remark. We
met with serious obstruction from Indians, but our
stock suffered severely for want Of water and grass The
general character of the country is that Of elevated
plain, high, dry, and sterile The Santa Cruz Valley
Sonora is the oasis of this Sahara beautiful fertile
and lovely valley, but narrow and enclosed by lofty and
sterile mountains Here several Mexican villages
and few ranches The villages Santa Cruz at the
eastern extremity of the valley, Tobac and Tucson
These Mexcanslive in extreme and perpetual dread Of the
Apaches their deadly enemies. Depredaons and muir
ders continually perpetrated upon them by the In
dams. They much elated by the Of the pur-
chase Of Sonora by the United States" a.

SOUTHERN ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAILROAD


We find glowing picture of the prospects of this
road in the seguin Texas) Mercury of the I'd of Sep
TENDER We had overlooked the fact that ground had
been broken upon this work far back the 4th Of
July. We give extract from the Mercury to let our
readers have an idea Of the enthusiasm which prevails,
in that quarter: ~. .,. ,.Q -.
We have perused with much pleasure the speech of
the honorable THOMAS J. GREEN delivered the 4th OF
July Mt Marshall upon the occasion Of breaking ground
upon the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. He states that
the road is a Southern enterprise majority of the
stock is held in the South and large portion in Texas
lie notices the fact that the cotton extends from
latitude 80 to 35 degrees Below thirty the cold is
sufficient to destroy the insects which prey upon the
plant and thirtyhve is its improbable northern limit
The contemplated road will bisect the central and most
profitable portion Of this belt since is to be located
the parallel of thirtytwo degrees Another inducemen
for building the road is that thereby market will be
opened fo the beeves and wool of Western Texas the
best country for raising stock in the world.
Upon the line of this road not only the great staple
cotton, but also hemp tobacco Indian corn wheat sweet
and Irish potatoes be raised to advantage the
farm and Southern -four be brought into market six
weeks sooner than the Northern thus nsurng twelve and
half per cent. better prices BY this enterprise
energy will be infused into all classes Of the community
and the orator is angu;ne of its beneficial effects
to predict that it will induce the slothfu Mexican
to rise from his luxurious hammock gather his flock and
exchange their fleece for dollars Thus, too, the luxu
rious spices and teas Of the aro East the gold of Cali
fornia and Australia the gorgeous grapes and silks of
the Celestial Empire will be brought within few days
travel.
every citizen Of Texas, every friend of the South
should be especially interested in the Of this the
