that Of any other part of the United States II owe
this peculiarly to two causes principally Gal
Of Me- xco with its gulf stream on the east, and III,
wide plains OF the Llano Es,acaio, backed by th|
Sierra Mndre, on the west.
The warm waters Of the gulf stream are one great
source Of the mild and moist southeast winds, which
refresh large par; Of the Texas coast Some fact'
in regard TO It, and the eddy il occasions down the
coast Of Texas, may be Of use.
The great equnoctisl stream running westward
strikes the coast Of South America and turning
southwark, through the Caribbean Sea, il contracted
to comparatively very narrow space between
Cape Antonio, the western point Of Cuba, aud Cape
Catoche, the eastern point of Yucaian. Underneath
the Gulf Stream, which is truly and emphaticay a
river in the ocean, is cold stream Of water running
south, with a temperature Of about i0' Fahrephe,t.
The strength Of he Southern current and tue narrow
space off Cape Antonio, causes q mingling Of these
two streams, which at times may be heard like a
roaring river, forcing the under-cuent TO the sur
face and dividing tie Gulf Stream into two parts:
one, turning TO the eastward, sweeps round Cuba,
and between that and Florida out into tho Atlantic
and the other travelling TO the westward, leaving
tie Banks Of Campeachy on the south, and striking,
with deep soundings almost TO the shore, the center
Of Padre Island, on the southern coast Of Texas.
From there Il bounds OF from tho Texas coast to the
Mississippi passes and reoins the other half through
the KEYS Of the Florida reef, warming and moist
ening tho entire nolthern coast Of the Gulf O.
Mexico.
Inside Of the Gulf Stream running South there il
current counter to the Gulf Stream, starting from
the mouth Of the Mississippi and running US far South
as Padre Island. This cnuent carries with It The
silt and mud Of the Mississippi and of The rivers Of
Texas, and deposits them all along the shore-thus
gradually Gllipgup the Labors and shores Of Texas,
making them shsllower every year. After storm
the waters Of the Gulf Of Texas will sometimes be
almost the color of chocolate. On the Southern end
Of Padre Island mahogany and the products Of
tho tropics come ashore, while to tie North of that
Island the cotton WOOL sycamore and the drift from
more temperate laltules may be found.
Pass Cavallo oil Maagolda Bay, has Swallowed
to seven feet, while Galveston, having large bay
behind it, and long rivers emptyiDg into that bay,
still gives good water ON the bar, and retains its
depth Of water. Twenty-iour feet water may be
found close to land near the bar, aud good anchor
age, and safe roadstead. In consequence of the
gradual deposit Of silt along the coast Of Texas the
water deepens very gradually. 1t deepens at the
rate Of fathom TO tho mile until at twenty faith.

elected by large msjoriIies Mayor Of Jersey City p
the face of an adverse political majority. He declined
TO run at tie recent election and, although his eec.
ton would lave been almost certain, the Republican
candidate substituted for him was badly beaten.
Since the moment the war first broke out Mr.. Van
vorst hss given all his time to the service of bio
country withou, cent Of recompense. He has re-
cruited and forwarded 10 the seat OF war nearly Q
whole brigade, and has sent no bills 70 Trenton for
his services or for incidental expenses. To tho
families sof the volunteers be has been q con-
slant friend, often advancing them money, and
always looking after the payments 10 them
from the State without charge. There is nos
to-day in New-Jersey another gentleman so uuiver-
sally popular as he is. Representing withou. any
exception the oldest family in the State, being the
ninth Corns. Van Worst in direct descent born onthe

Texas. 1t is tho resort q hundreds. Tho dryness
Of tho atmosphere the equableness Of tho theunomo

winds with their raWnees and unhealthiness, make
Western Texas a most desirlble climate for inyalids
and residence. Mcat hung mp will not putrefy, but

without the use Of salt snd without injury.
THIS climate is the proper abode for the white man.

During tho year lebl, over 10000 sheep, from
