TEXAN PRODUCTS.

The newspapers of Texas say it is
becoming difficult to decide whether
beef or cotton hold supremacy in Texas.
That great State raises large quantities
of both, and having been but little
affected by the war, continued to grow in
prosperity, whilst the rest Of the
Southern States refrigerated. Stock
raising and the expectation of cattle
make fortunes in a short time for many
Texans, and it is said that the trans
purtation Of cattle is now one Of the
most lucrative branches Of Southern
trade. Northern vessels, unable to earn
remunerative freights elsewhere, find it
a good paying business TO carry cattle
from Texas to other portions Of the
South.

Old BEN WADE talked right out at the

the style Of master speaking to de-
pendents. He evidently had got an idea
into his head that the rebels wanted to

crate bills of fare. Whether or not he
smelt substantial purpose Of that sort,
he took care to announce that he would
take no step backwards. Very well,
