| Not 4 nigh, has passed for month
but what somo poor fellow has been
found murdered the next morning.
Before the war, Galveston had about
nine thousand Inhabitants; now it
has full fourteen thousand, of which
at least two thousand arc murder
'crs, vagabonds, and thieves. The
state Of society is most unhealthy
| can assure You, and no person
who has any knowledge Of these
things, and respect for his own life,
ventures out after dark. There new
err has been time when mans life
was over safe in Texas. Everybody
--rogucs and gcntlcmcn--go armed,
and cut and shoot each other upon
the least provocation And as q
general thing, these fellows wea.
pons are not concealed-they carry
bowic-knivcS and pistols in their
belts, and carry what is called
Mexican cane, which is nothing
more or less than sword-canc, or
foil, without any case or sheath
Last week Il Tcxian, from near Vic
toria, was killed in bar room by
being run through with one of
these Mexican canes, but while he
was being run through with the
cane, he shot his pistol through his
pocket, discharging it's contents in
to the stomach Of his assailant, and
both dropped dead upon the floor
together. Last Monday morning a
murderer was brought into court,
and a jury impanncled. The evil
dcnce on both sides was heard,
the lawyers on both sides went
through with their accustomed ha-
rangnes the judge has had his say
(and his smoke, too, at the same
timc,) the jury went out, disagreed,
came in, the prisoner was discharg-
cd and all before dinner"
Licbig has given to the world what
is likely to prove most valuable
legacy. Like that noble uun, Pea

his death, to make the bequest.

writings, to operate in Texas.

Of louisiana and Texas, of the Nor
gan process of meat curing, by in
which has proved per-
feet success, even in South America,
the year round. The rights to use
are for sale. In a future letter 1
will explain the process; which is
extremely simple and inexpensive.
BY the way, several market gar
dencrs applied to me to come out;
desiring TO supply towns with veg
etables. A good chance to sell
piece of suitable land at "a moderate
price and on time; securing thereby
the enhancement in value of the
lands around.
BY far the best method, however,
of putting such lands on the market
is to sell them parts of tracts, to
the proposed company, for its stock.
The company will have influence,
capital to improve the lands and as
sist the right sort of immigrants,
