to ki., time, and that am trying "a dn In the
most rilectual manner, II that Is not apology
enough for miirting this letter upon you, don't
know any other % offer My trip from Dallas
a. this place was pleasant enough considering
the dyy and dusty state 0t the roads. My first
stop was Rt kaufman, where rprnt day with
our friend of the Gihls House. From thence, On
saturday morning, in company with friend
ozne un as far as some six miles Fast Of Canton,

Ms, there wRs In session q baptist association,
the dh'rgltcS 10 which had filled nearly Rll tho
house, un tho road, We, however, got u yery
s'nN resting place, after telling the gentleman
TIA. our horse was plumb broke down, and coull
not go any further, unl that your humble CORES,
poudrut was then shaking with u chill, The
neSt day, Sunday, We made our way tn this place
after driving through some OF tho dccTcs, sand
that I've seen in many dRy II put the streets
Of Dallas entirely to the blush, even in the drycst
time. Rain ia much needed IN this section, every,
thing being rs dry as powder,
Tyler is not as large place as | expected To
soc, nor ia it built mp as well around the Square,
Those buildings, however, now in process of con
ltruriun, are ut better class than tho old OnnS,
and it is said the place IL rapidly improving
There are some very fine looking private rcsdcn'
cos scattered around In the suburbs of tho town,
and lnrgc building devoted 10 tho Female insti.

have been erected Some venrs, nr0 all good and
su bStnutial cdiiccs Among them would men
tion tho Court Ilonsn and Offices of brick in the |
public square, and the mil aud Offices attached, I
also of brick, The Federal Court ronm is u frame
building near tho square, two stories high and
suitable for tho purpose it s intended. There
are several hotels here, of but one of which can
speak knowinsly-thc Holman House, kept by q.
w. Bates, where am stopping This is n roomy
building. and the table comforts ARE equal to any
Texas hotel that | have visited, at least outside
of ItiHlycstOn.

lation--I merely mention them as those most
spoken of here. Tho tale will now soon be told,
and let who will be the man. it is to be hoped
that he will be one who will stand squarely and
firmly up to the constitution and the rights Of tho
South, an! with ability enough to maintain those
rights in the highest tribunal of the nation.
this morning made the acquaintance of Col.
S. NJ. Warner, Editor of the Reporter, and spent
II very pleasant hour in his company. Col. War
uer has recently returned from the North where
he hns purchased an entire outfit of type, presses
etc for his paper, which he intends to enlarge
BY tho beginning OF tho year, llq publishes a
good paper, and am pleased to notice this cvi-
dence Of the appreciation of his efforts by his pa
irons. When he gets all his material here, he
will have as complete an Office as can he found
any were in the interior of Texas. Success to-
the enlarged Reporter.
! I convcrsed to-day with u gentleman from
Marshall, who 10 intimately connected with the
Southern Pacific Railroad, and | must confess
that many, if not all. Of tho doubts have had a
bout the stability of the new arrangement of tho
affairs of tho company have been scattered -
! There is no mistake that it is now IL thing OF real
/ life and activity, and what is most Important to
us is, that Dallas Id the point first aimed at -
/ There is no mistake about this. Give us this rail-
road--0r any other--and our hroad rich pr.iries
will attract Increased attention and command the
highest prices. Give us the means of transport
alton for our surplus products. and all kinds OF
business will at once receive an impetus never
