I From tie foregoing aud other precedent
notes ~ temperature your readers caa e''
I silly determine whether the climate be de-
/ firab,e or not. u will be remembered that
| I wrote only In N.Y. former letter Of the
| climate ual soil II that portion ofIhe state
I over which passed, and, Tor obvious rsl-
/ sons, desire, for the present. 10 follow the
sane rule; bcearsa II that bu, suit the
rushing emigration that must so some
where, IL will make for itself the iustl'n'
/ tious and the society II desires ana needs.
I | am anxious, therefore, To say that after
pn,slnr the Tehracnna hills the land opens
| out in fertile reaches, with 4 stcndincss
I and uniformity that would make 1t lillicult
I for one TO find poor farm, and selections
might seem carring where all around ole
| Il good. Still | cannot forbear saying that
I from tho neighborhood Of Chambers Creek
/ though the counties 0l Ellis. Dallas, Collin
and the southern part Of Grayson, per-
son will fnl land which, IL he seeks better,
! will keep him u traveller NIL his life.
| learn that some 100000 square miles Of
| ,he State are organized into counties, and
makes an area, nearly, il not quite equal
( ling in size the four states Of Illinois, Iowa,
] Minnesota and Wisconsin; aad the follow
/ ing productions are common to its limits;
Corn, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, Irish and
sweet, peaches, pluins, grapes, aud cotton,
which seems TO grow in its wealth through
the entire State, from south to north; and
! | sdw us we'll, in Galveston, the ripened
orange upon the trees. All the garden
vegetables that know Of are easily grown.
TIMBER.
IT is claimed by the Texans tha. though
a prairie State, they are better supplied
with timber necessary Tor agricultural
purposes than the prairie States of tn;
northwest. and | am willing TO admit, alter
travelling all Of the northwestern ones, that
nv route IRON Galveston to Red River, be-
tween the Blazos and the Trinity, justified
tile claim. Yet were this not 30, in the
absence of timber Texas has the advantage
of icing easily fenced by the growth OF any
of the woods that make permanent hedges,
which should judge to be ready grown:
as frequently saw advertisements 10 en-
| close grounds with the same at enc dollar
per rod and to care for the same Tor four
years. payments to be made ut twenty-five
ccnts per rod yearly. That the hedge OF
tEa Bms de Arc makes most excellent
rr,ice can be seen in many places in the
State.
