Our little county has sent off ave companies
of 9,lunteers, and two more ara nearly or
ga,Ahed. Old Mon tgomery has responded
we'll 10 the call of the Governor: the almost
constant passage OF troops along line Of
railroad, and the great anxiety we feel about
the war. particularly such of rs have
and other relatives in the field, keeps up .
continual excitement. Troops are passing
here almost every day; and I would speak Of
the hospitality of the citizens of our little
village in furnishing them with provisions,
bat the good book says we must not let our
left hand know what our right hand does.
may be permitted 70 say, that those who have
come from other States 10 fight for orr inst-
tutions, our freedom and cur liberty, have
not been permitted to pass us unnoticed and
without having their wants attended TO.
We have seen some OF the finest looking
companies pass that 1t has ever been our
privilege to behold, whose professions Of re-
gard for the old mother State were so strong
that am satisfied that they will sacrifice
their all for her.
As most of your cores pondents conflne

same. We should, h0~ever, hs willing -

this OBJECT. We are now convinced that they

TsxAa-The Houston iTexasl Telegraph has
some i'll teresting information IN regard TO az
fairs in Northern Texas, obtained from Capt
J. E. Harrison, bearer Of dispatches from COL
Van Dorm and Gov. Clark to the Confederate
Government. He had within few weeks
travelled through the Northern countie along
Red River, and thence to San Antonio. thence
back to Waco, and from Waco to Houston.--
Every where he reports the most magnificent
crops ever seen. Wheat, oats, barley, &c ,
were never so abundant iE any country. He
is satisfied that enough grain has been raised
in Texas this year, II properly husDanded, 10
fight Lincoln on for three years. The propa-
gaudists settled there from Iowa, Indiana.
Ohio, and other free States, with a view OF
establishing free soii," are all leaving. We
quote from the Telegraph
In travelling from North Fork, Greek Ma
ton, TO Red River, Can't. Harrison met one
hundred and twenty wagons with emigrants
| from Texas to the Free States, and was told
| there were more than these on the Southern
| route. Disgu lsing himself, he mixed with
| them a good deal, and learned the object OF
their settling in Texas, and why they were
| leaving it now, and a most happy riddance
the State is having of them. Capt. II. has nc
| doubt that eight hundred voters have LET
| Grayson, Collin, Cook, Young, wise ane
| Dent ton counties Many OF them have lef
| settled farms and cultivated fields. The righ
| sort of Immigration from Kentucky and Ten
nessee can get these farms cheap, and Will o'
| welcomed Win open arms NeSeT was tAei
| such chance for bettering fortunes as is nov
| offered to the people of these States.
| The country Is the finest In the world
| Thirty bushels of wheat TO the acre Is no IN
| usual crop, and that all harvested In May
| Fine water Is abundant. so Is timber, DC.
| Regarding the protection OF that country
| we are assured that the civilized Indians q
| the Greek, Cherokee and Choctaw nation
| have assured the Confederate Government
! that If Que or two regiments of their men CA
. he mustered into the service OF the Govern
| ment they stand ready TO furnish fifteen I
| twenty thousand volunteers 10 meet any In
| road into their ovt n territory or that OF Texas
| from the Northern armies. Northern Iexa
| can furnish as many more. Col IL. r.. Mc
| Cuiioch, with thousand mounted riffemen
is now there, having been dispatched oy Va
Dorm, and ne wiA take charge OF future mil
Lary operations there.
