After so Tonga time, l undertake to
write you a few lines, complying with
the promise l made you before leaving
Brownyille. In doing SO, permit me to
say that 1 have not found the South al
together as favorable as 1 expected. This
Fall and Winter, owing to the Winter
setting in SO early, the frost has greatly
injured the Wheat crops in all Of The
rich grain-growing portion of North
western Texas, thereby causing a greater
rise in the price Of all kinds Of grain
This, together with the immense emigra-
tionsto Texas this season. has put every
thing in the provision line extremely high
and makes it hard on newcomers, es-
pecially those with small means.
Health is good in this part of Texas,
They have had, however, the Yellow
Fever in the South Eastern portion of
the State, since I have reached here.
| find a large portion Of the country
unsettled; especially the Western portion.

present, though / expect 10 settle perma-
nently in Southern Texas. We have fine
weather for Winter, except a day Or two
every now and then. We get occasion

Northers The farmers are blowing for
corn and oats, and still sowing wheat.
The people do not make money il this
part by farming generally, though at
such times as this, the farmer does make
money.
1t is expected by the people Of Texas
that there will be a. great rush to this
country next season owing to the Legis-
lature of the State renewing the home
stead.
There are no railroads through this
part of the State, neither navigable
streams; consequently we have quite a

Mr.. ED1TOR:
4 see for The last three or four num-
bers of your paper, you have been down
on Governor black for vetoing the bill @
"Prohibit slavsry in Nebraska"
Now, sir. | would like to ask you afew
questions. If you bad a servant and he
would not obey you, would not you turn
him off And is not Governor Black a
servant under Jeems Buchanan and
must no. he obey Jeems' orders You
also find fault with Jeems, and you say
he has done wrong. Now don't you know
the Bible Cor some other book says the
King can 60 no wrong? And ainl leems
the same as King over this country But
You say that Jeems said. four years ago
that 1.-THE people of a Territory, like those
of a State" &C., &c. Well, suppose he
did say so; don't you know there is an
old saying, "Smart men change their
minds, fools never dO;" and if Jeems
Buchanan, and Gov, Black, and the rest
of our folks have changed our mir IDS, it
is proof positive that we are SMART and
are not like you and Douglas, and the rest
of your folks that stick 10 the sans old
thing and never change. as
And don't you know that old Judge
bred Scott, three years ago, (when he
was trying a niger for some crime he
had committed, / don't recollect what
crime it was, though decided that the
Constitution carried slavery into the Ter
r~itories and projected it there 2" But
you say Judge Scott didn't say any such
thing; butt say he did and Governor
Black says he did ; and Jeems Buchanan
says he did: and / guess we know more
about ii than you and Douglas does, and
all the resi- of your crew.
You find fault with Governor Black be-
cause in his speeches here. last Fall, he
said we we're all Sovereigns, and then
vetoed a bill passed by the same sOver-
eigns. You ought to have gumption
enough to know that he was only trying
to fool some of the Black Republicans,
end get them 10 vote for Gen. Estabrook.
Now l want you to stop abusing Gov.
Black, Judge Scott, Lee Compton, J eems
Buchanan, and the rest Of our folks. If
you don't stop, I'll write right straight 10
the Governor, and get him TO come down
here and make another speech; and !
guess he'll use you and Douglas both up
badly, aud if he should come here and
make a speech and say the Moon was
made of Cheese" | reckon you and Doug
las wouldn't believe him, but would stick
to it that the moon was made of something
else. But there are lots of US who would
believe him, because we know he is
smarter than you and Douglas snd your
whole tribe thrown in.
And don't you knOw-but I'm so mad
l can't write any more, 50 I'll finish by
hurrahing for Governor Black, Judge
Scott, Lee Compton, Jeems Buchanan,
and the rest of our folks.

To give our readers some idea Of the
state Of things in Washington, we may
mention the fact that The war between the
Administration and the unsound members
Of the Democratic party is not confined to
politics. Il is carried even into social
life. Mrs. Douglas is admitted by all who
know her to be one Of the most elegant
worAen in The District of Columbia. Mi.
Buchanan has not invited her to one of his
Levees. He has also according to the
belief of those who know best, directed
or requested each of the members of his
cabinet to follow his example. Mrs.
Douglas is excluded from all the honors
supposed to attach To- regular visits to
fashionable state parties where cake and
wine and crinoline do most abcund-Cin.

How they dissolved the Union.

The South Carolina Legislature lately
sent put a parcel of resolutions inviting
each of the other Southern States TO Join
in a d%isunion conference.
When they reached Texas, the Legis-
eyed them s~uspiciously. Members
remarked that Texas had had to much
getting into the Union to be in a
hurry TO get out Of it. And they were
summarily laid under the table,
When they reached Virginia, there
was a long debate. But the Legislature
came to the sensible conclusion,
that a disunion conference could not dis
the Union, and. if it had, that was
not what they wanted. So the Tesolu-
tions were o concurred in.
When they had reached Maryland,
the whole Legislature rose up, with two
exceptions, to Indignantly spurn them as
an invitation to treason, which message
goes back to South Carolina with their
compliments.
