Abner Fields, of Howard town
ship, in Washington county, had a
COW which was delivered of % calves
in one day. The two largest are
about the size of ordinary twin
calves, the next largest about one
half the size, and tho remaining 25
about the size Of an ordinary rat.
They are all dead, mother included, :,
except the two largest, which are
doing well. We had the statement
above given from Mr.. Fields, him
self, and from several neighbors of
his who witnessed the sight, and
who are as fully entitled to belief
as any persons in the world. This
is the most sigular freak of nature,
of the kind, of which We ever heard.

TEXAS BEYOND THE ATLANTIC
We are pleased to learn that the
fame of Texas, and her great unde-
veloped resources have finally eX-
cited considerable attention in Eu-
rope, and that strangers from Eng
land and Germany and Scotland,
are beginning to arrive in our midst
for the purpose Of looking at Tex
as, while others come satisfied with
what they already know, and are
determined to become permanent
citizens. They with their capital
and industry arc right welcome in
our midst.
Mr.. Henry Trcnchard has opened
an Office in the Herald building, for
the purpose of bringing to the direct
attention of English woolen cloth
manufacturers certain qualities OF
Texas wool, and many other articles
of Texas production. 1t is expect
ed that this will not only prove
profitable to the manufacturers. but
tend very forcibly to elevate the
standard of Texas woods, and in
proportion the price.
Messrs. III. ]. Hall and w. 7.
French, both from England, have
just arrived in San Antonio, and
paid our sanclum a visit. this A. n.
They are also travelling over Texas
with the view of learning her nu-
merous resources. They will pay
the mountain region visit and
look in upon the numerous sheep
walks in that neighborhood. We
bespeak for these gentlemen a clever
reception among our friends, as
they come well and worthily recon-
mended to us.
The time is not far off when we
shall expect TO see a great many
more of the staunch yeomanry of
Europe in Texas. Here We are
starving for people and surfeiting
with land, while there thev have
no land and are overhowing with
population s. A. Herald.

But few whites are able TO approach
the polls on account of the mass of

AUGUSTA, April 20.-Theolection
is progressing without any collision.
The negroes, with few exceptions,
voted the radical ticket. They
marched in squads from the country
to the polls with banners flying,
aud yelling for Bullock. Whenever
II coIored voter was suspected, he
was set upon and intimidatcd. In
this way some were deferred from
voting the democratic ticket; but
generally they went solid for the
radical party. The excitement was
intense, and but little was needed to
bring about fearful collision. The
whites generally kept from the polls,
and abstaincd from adding to the
excitement. About 1900 votes
were polled, near 2000 of which are
negroes. The total registered vote
in the country is $500.
