There are, thcrc, companies Of

One feels mortified beyond con.

we fought for so bravely, is to the
rest of the world almost an Un.
KNOWN LAND; excepting only the
BATTLE fields Of Virginia This fact
did us fearful injury. The people
Of Europe hardly knew who we
were, or what sort of a country VIC
were struggling to retain. They on

will enlarge again upon this and
other like facts.
In the meantime we must form an
IMMIGRATION COMPANY. Capital,
ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS.
Whatl say many-a million Of
dollars where are they to be found ?
and if found, what is to be done
with them?
Be patient. Twill show you.
We cannot introduce the class
most necessary to us, without the
means to pay their passage out. Of
this class, thousands can DO induc-
cd to come at once, this being
done. Those who have money to
bring themselves and to buy and
stock lands, will have to have o bet.

made, before they venture in great
numbers. They will come. But
they must know all about the coun-
try and it's resources. Feel assured
that their money and their invest

good reports from those who have
gone before.
These facts led to my success over

birth and education; had spent a
lifetime in this country; had influ-

country, thoroughly and practical.

We must first bring those who
are willing to come. Laborers and
operatives of all kinds. To do this,
as L. have Just said, money must
be had. And safe, quick and com

I found that this money could be
got, on the basis Of land.

ed, let seven hundred thousand dol
lars of the stock of the company be
taken in Texas, in lands, at pres
ent, actual, coin value. On that ba-
sis, / can have the remaining three
thousand dollars taken in
and paid in coin.
But the State Of Texas must aid
in the matter.
We need not expect that English !
mon are going to invest their mon
ey in such an enterprise without
seeing clearly that money is to be
made by it.
The expenses to be incurred by
the company will be very great.
And that, too, to effect results of
moro direct benefit to the people
and State of Texas than to any one
else.
