The territory Of Texas extends through
lO' Of latiluIe-is Eve times as large as
New York, larger than all New England
eonbinel-eOEsideTably larger than Spain
I or France.
In point Of climate Texas claims, with
at least Us much justice as any other State,
to DO called tho Italy OF America. The
general average Of temperature eorrss-
ponds, aud The skies are equally clear and
glowing. The pCouliarities over other eli
mates Of latitude are found 10 its unwhv-
ering summer sea breeze and its winter
norihers. The first is n delightful alle'i-
alton Of It's summer heats, flowing in each
day from tho Gulf OF Mexico, as the sun
rays become oppressive, and extending re-
motley inland to The furthcst settlements
with the same trustworthy sIesdiness. II

TEN TO endure the heals OF summer,
As in most new countries, chills aud fe-
vers in summer aud pneumonia in the win
ter prevail to some extent 10 the rich allu
vial districts, but are attended with little
fatality. The country will compare favor
ably with amy other on this Continent in
the matter of general he,lthFnlness.
II appears to be fact not very general
Is known that Texas has vast region OF
superior capacity for wheat-sroui.s.-
! This il known in Teass ~ Tho Great
Whca, Region" and comprises n, lcnsi
thirty large counties, of which Dal!As il
the centre, and extends from the middle o.
Lamar, Hunt, Kaufman and Navarro coun'
ties, West, to the Eastern linz Of the lswsl
Cross TimheIs.
Lands may DO Dough: at prices ranging
from one TO fifty dollars an acre, according
to location and proximity to good roads
and market.
We cannot give an average price o.
tow lots in Dallas. The value Of real es
tate here is steadily apprecisling, and ha,
fully trcblcd since three years ago. NJ
are advised, however, that Mr.. o. L. Bailey
recently disposed of half block about
six blocks from the courthouse, poorly i'm
proved, for 81 900, coin. A hhlf block on
Elm street, one block from the Public
Square, without improvement, sold, few
days since, for $500, gold, and could moi
now be bought for double that amount.
The society Of Texas is lar better thar
many in the old States imagine. In morals
it is quite SIS good as Virgins or kentuckJ
and better than Indiana or Ohio. Thu
mass of Texas people are as intslligen
and refined SIS the people Of any OF th'
older States. The schools generally are o
the most 'respecsble character-sre stead
lily growing and increasing in usefulness
and many OF those who conduct then
have, long ago, given entire satisfaction
and even won fame in other States. LIE
no one immigrsting TO Texas suppose tina
he is leaving all good society behind hin
and coming to sort Of terra incognitd
inhabited by ignorant and semi-savag'
people. All who start 18th this impression
will awake from great delusion wheI
they have arrived.
In concluding this article, we call thu
attention of land owners to the closing re
quest of our correspondent, and hope they
