A GREAT CouNTRY.-'rhe Rev. Bishop
Pierce, of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, gives the following picture ofthe State
of Texas:
Texas is a curious country-a paradox.
Every is in the superlatiye, or contradic'
tory Or marvellous. II is the richest and the
poorest-has the best land and the meanest
water; is the hardest country to live in, and
has the most to live on; the days are the
hottest, aud the nights the coolest; here are
the most rivers, and the least waters; the
best roads, and the sowest travel; the finest
building material, and the least use made Of
il; there are more clouds, and less rain ;
more plains, and less timber more ropes to
the horses. and yet more estrays; poor
country for farming, and yet the most pro,
ductiye; the least work, and the largest yield;
the horses are small. and the cattle big; the
frogs have horns, and the rabbits have ears
like mules; the people are intelligent, with.
out general education-lnventive, without
being tricky-reined, without mannersm-
rich. without money-hospitable, without
houses-bpld. generous and brave. In line
here is an empire in extent and resources
but in the slowest process Of evolution, YET
destined to population, wealth and power
There is much to admire, but little TO de-
plore many things To enchan,. but lew to Of,
fend aud for the people and their institu
tons there is splendid future"

nA. The Louisville Democrat says that
Col. A R. Stewart has sold his Oak Lawn
plantation, in St. Barnard parish, Louisiana,
for $40, 900. The Colonel Intends to de-
vote his great energies and his large re-
sources in the future to the magnificent
scheme, of which he is the father, of the
Grand Junction Canal, connecting the Mis-
sissippi and Lake Borgne, and to the general
introduction of his process OF, defeating
sugar bysulphuric gas. Col Stewart has re-
tanned the land along the canal, and at the
river and Lake termini, and seventy negroes.
This canal will enter the Mississippi river a
few miles below New Orleans. Ii will be
but FIVE or six miles in length, and Will re-
quirc but one lock at the river end. Vessels
will enter it from Lake Borgne, and thus
save the heavy towage of over hundred
miles from the Balize. The only difficulty
in the project is TO get a sufficient depth OF
water for large vessels in the approaches on
the Lake Borgne side. If accomplished, it
would have an important influence on the
commerce of New Orleans. a.

Z KANSAS MINEs.-The last adyices from
Denver City report that valuable lead mines
have been discovered in that vicinity, the
galena OF which contain large per cent of
silver,-enough to make the extraction of
the silver from the ore very profitable. This
discovery had caused great excitement in
the diggins and will probably give new
impulse to emigration should the news be
confirmed. A party arrived at Leaven-
worth from Denvers few days ago, with
5000 in gold dust. Several specimens of
the quartz veins have been 0receised in ST.
Louis from the Kansas gold mines, which
are said to promise large profits, in working
them.
The vein of lead ore found, is said to be
two feet thick and six hun dred feet in
length. Twenty pounds from this mine
were analysed by DR.. Lee, at Denver city,
and was found to contain FIVE parts silver
three parts gold, three parts iron, and one
part copper. As much as five thousand
pounds of the ore per day have beea taken
out and the greatest excitement prevailed
in the neighborhood at last dates.

Ths Western Trade 1t New Orleans.

TIE Western Trade at New Oriesns'
The annual statement of the Trade and
Commerce of New Orleans shows that there
has been an enormous decline in the receipts
of,wsstern produce, epast year, at that port.
IL is attributed, by the papers, to the iunu-
snce of Western Railroads, that now take
an immense quantity of freight over the
mountains, that formerly descended the Mis-
sissippi river. But the short crops of last
year-the absence of foreign demand for
grain and meat-and the high prices at home,
together with the operations of spectators,
predicated on the European war,-have all
had tendency to reduce the shipments to
New Orleans this season in a greater ratio
than we should expect from the regular de-
cline which that trade must inevitably ex-
psrience from the effect Of Western internal
improvements The figures have astonished
those most intimate with the trade; but
they are not to be disputed. In some Of the
leading articles, as -four, wheat, corn and
oats, the decrease in receipts actually amounts
to one-third. The falling off in -four during
the commercial year just ended, from the
amount received during the year previous
is AS, $50 barrels, in wheat 395, $50 sacks,
incorn 500, 241 sacks, in oats 355, O33 sacks,
in tobacco IL, $50 hhds, in pork, IL, 736 bbls,
in potatoes IS, lis bbls and IA proportionate
diminution in lard, butter and many other
products. -
We do not think that New Orleans can
ever become again one of the chief ports fol
exporting our Western produce. Her eli
mate is untavorablei the heavy expenses
incurred by shipping in getting in and out
of port the long and difficult voyages
through the tropics around the capes OF
Florida are so dangerous and detrimental to
produce cargoes as to more than make up
the difference in the freight to the shipping
point by river to the South, and by railroad
to the East The laws of trade are now
constantly operating to diminish the West
ern produce business at New Orleans. II
will never be restored to her till free trade
10 established with Cuba or Mexico, or some
large acquisitions of territory in the Gulf is
secured, which will draw its food from the
great Western Valley through New Orleans
Free trade with Cuba and Mexico, which
may, in the course of few years, be estab.
lshed by sagacious and friendly diplomacy
would make the exports of Western product
from New Orleans to those customers on tn,
Gulf greater than they have ever been t.
Europe. Is
