The present and future Of this great State for the beEe.
til OF your numerous reG'ir!-, SHOULD you thlnk the!n
worthy OF publication.
This State il, perhaps, equal in extent TO three or
four Of the !ar..s. StGIes of The Union. aud presents
almost every variety o! climate, soil ami production.
We have the tinbsrrd, prairie, valley and billy land
but mono OF those immense forests which take almost
a life linu to prepare them Tor cultiva,;"n. as Is the
case in some States. Il, therefore, Is the beet country
in The world for quick and easy settlement, demand
ing lees outlay Of time aud capital.
What Texas chiefly needs for the full development
Of her great RESOURCES, is working men OF all indus.
trinl p~ursuits-especlaily tue tHrmer-the man ol
large or shall working force, 10 upturn her leaning
soi. aud receive in return c gIch rewurd. Texas has
h'therto .aborcd under great disaG rantages from the
want OF facilities of transportation, aud which hat,
no doubt, impeded its settlement but the recent nc;
vi the Legislature, granting $4,000 to Incorporate
railroad companies, bids fair sUUn 10 supply this want.
We have already fifty miles of railroad running out
Of Houston, and still progressing. La5oTr.s GRE get
ting SO per month and this year It Is better
business than farming, as the crops are generally bad.
As to professional characters, their name Is legion
there mrs moro lawyers III this State, perhaps, III pro.
portion 10 population and business, than any State
know. Louisiana / found 10 be a much better field
Tor professional enterprise the civil law deterring Q
good many from going there, which, by the way, Is &
very unnecessary dread, as the practice OF that STATE
is more readily comprehended than the common law
This Stats, of course, il safe for Buchanan by 2O,OOt
at least. These facts, hastily put together, your rea
ders may rely upon. Yours &C.
