BROWNSVILLE, Sept. II, 1860.
M. Edior-Herewith please find circular
addressed to the public on the subject OF intro
ducing a colony OF one hundred Americans
into the State of Durango, Mexico From personal
intercourse with the author, Mr.. Box, / have
gathered some items of interest concerning the
enterprise which may not prove embarrassing to
your readers. Mr.. Box started to California in
l849 in company from this place, but owing to
some misfortune, the progress OF the party was ar
rested in the State of Durango until the money in
the treasury gave out, and they could go no fur
Their With true determination not to be beggars
they hired out to the authorities of the State OF
Durango to fight Indians, and acquitted themselves
with credit. Mr.. Box obtained commission I'M
der the Mexican Government, which he held for
two years, giving great satisfaction to everybody
At last, he expressed determination to resign his
position in order to resume his trip to California,
and to deter him from leaving the country the au.
thorities of Durango offered TO confer large grant
of land on him, with the privilege OF introducing
one hundred families. He, however, persisted in
resigning, and afterwards went to California and
| travelled through most portions of that State and
! Northern Mexico. Last year he returned to his
| home in Western Texas, where he was well to do,
| and where he had n large circle of relatives and
/ friends. In many conversations with his father
| brothers and friends, he described the wealth Of
| the northern portion of the State of Durango-eS
/ patiated on its beauty of scenery and salnbrity Of
| climate, until at length general desire was ex
/ pressed to so lovely and so desirable country
| When the drought set in this year Throughout
/ Western Texas, and the people saw their crop!
| whitening, their stock dying out. and Their pros
| poets darkened, the feeling was general in iayol
of better seasons OF a better country. Great de
sire was expressed by old and intelligent Texan
TO sell out and move somewhere, as Ii there wa
| was any place where man wUutd not encounte
. | some manner of evil dspensation
Just at the time of all this dissatisfaction, MI
