EsSy~ We are Informed by a gentleman
from W Use county, that there is great need
of one or more Touring mills in that coun-
ty. He informs that there is not a mill in
the county, the nearest being nj Weather
ford, Parker county, forty miles distant
from Decatur, the county seat of Wise coun-
ty. There was the past year, large guam.
tity Of wheat raised in Wise, which would
give business to several good steam mills,
and if mills were built at, and in the vicin-
ity of Decatur, there would be large
scope of country sown in grain. A num-
Der of good mill sites can be found, some
of which cannot be surpassed for conven-
fences of water and wood, by any in the
State.
The county is improving rapidly and in
creasing in population. Health excellent,
and particularly as stock country, Wise
ranks with the best in the State; while it
is not behind any of the prairie counties
as grain growing region. Large droves
of cattle are driven annually from that
county to the N arkets in the Northern and
Eastern States.
We are further informed that carling
factory is much needed and would do a
good business in Decatur. The attention
Of persons wishing to establish themselves
in business, or erect mills, who are looking
out for location is directed to Wise. We
are assured that she offers superior advan-
tagcs for the introduction Of machinery Of
this kind, and parties wishing to invest
can get the sites and timber given to them,
fithey will bring the machinery.

Bel~Another great rain has come upon
us, and old Trinity has again spread his
arms over the whole surface of the bottom
in front Of town. On Wednesday morning
last about o'clock, it commenced raining,
the water continuing 10 pour down in hea-
Wy torrents for five or six hours without
ceasing. Again in the afternoon and at
night of the same day, ,Ytil 10 o'clock, hen.
Wy rain fell. These rains seem to have
been general, as the river commenced to
rise rapidly, and continued to rise up to
this morning, at which time it had reached
what might be termed ordinary high water
mark, only wanting some six or eight feet
of being as high as the great rise of the 9th
Of May Of last year.

many Of them exceeded the general expec.
ta,ions, md al Of them showed a proacien-
cy and evidence Of proper school room
training, which reflected much credit upon
their teachers. We should like TO deslg-
nate some of the pupils whom we thought
excellej, bat space will not permi, us to do
so.
On Wednesday, the higher classes were
examined, and on that night, the exercises
closed, by reading of compositions, decla'
nations, and dialogues, Wcregret that in-
disposition prevented our remaining to
witncss the latter part of this programmes
but what We did see and hear satisfied us of
the proficiency OF the studsnts generally,
and the untiring attention bestowed upon
them by their instructors.
Taken altogether, the exercises Of the
two days exhibited good scholarship and
good training, and proved, we think, to the
entire satisfaction Of the parents that their
children are in good hands, under the school
room guidance of Mr.. and Mrs. CouduA-
SouR. We may add, that the school is
large and aourishing, and offers advanta-
ges possessed by few interior towns.

pT The Kaufman mail reached here

! Our GovERNoR-Tex has reason to
feel justly proud of Governor Throckhor-
ton. a pure and disipterested patriot he
discharges with fidelity all the duties of his
?ffies. Ills recommendations TO the Legis.
Ia ure were eminently wise and practical
An original union man, he is loyal to the
Federal Government, and at the same time
watchful and jealous Of the interests of the
State. In his official intercourse with the
officers of the Federal Government he has
been dignfed without being naughty,
courteous without sycophancy. Though
hailing from the North eastern portion oil
our great State, he gives all necessary at
tention to the interests of the west. How.
ever critical the times may be- we feel that
we have man in the gubernatorial chair
of our State, equal to any emergency that
may arise.-Ldvdcca Commercial.
The above is one of the very many well
merited eulogies bestowed by the press and
the people upon our noble hearted and pa
triotie Governor. We publish it because
i comes from a Western Texas paper, and
wish to say, that every word is true to the
letter We speak advisedly in the matter,
having known Gov. Throckmorton person
ally and intimately for the last thirteen
years, and it is a pleasureHto us to add our
feeble tribute in praise of his many and
noble virtues of head and heart. Differing
in politics with His Excellency, rs we did
up 10 the days of secession, we have oipdys
felt that esteem for him which his moral
worth and political integrity invariably
commanded, alike from friend and foe. We
regard it indeed a privilege to be numbered
among his personal friends and feel some
pride in Icing worthy the title of friend TO
such man. Whatever may be the fate as
signed us as State, by the rulers at Wash
ington, We rest contented that there is a
MAN at the head of our State government,
possessing the moral courage and frmness
and integrity of purpose, sufficient for any
and nll emergencies.
