Houston, TEXAS, Feb. 20, z

will know from the HERALD, that
this writer left the goodly city of
Dallas yesterday morning, and no
Purposes, even this early to inhict
upon them IL letter; not that he ex-
poets to enlighten them any, but
perhaps it will do, to I'll up some
spare corner, and answer the
Devils" cry for copy, that -horify-
ing cry to all editors. AS the God of
day was tinging the East with rosy
rays yesterday morning, willie"
and / seated ourselves in Capt.
Works comfortable omnibus at the
Crutchfield House. and were soon
transported to tho Central Depot.
The morning was decidedly cold, so
much so that we were glad to enter
the depot building and warm up.
There were quite q number of pas
sengers waiting for the train, which
did not arrive untilsomo timo after
six O'clock, both passenger cars be-
ing already nearly full but n large
number of them getting out at Dali
las, the Central City of Texas We
all found comfortable quar-
ters, and were soon stcaming
down the track at the rate of 20
miles an hour. As the sun rose
and we conld distinguish the fea-
lures Of our companions, l looked
around to see who, ifany ofmy &C.
quaintances were 10 be my com
pany to tho Gulf cities. Among
the familiar ones in our car, i found
our townsmcn, Capt. w. III. Castor
and Mr. Dreyfus, of the Cosmopoli-
tan Hotel, ,the first en- route for Pal
estine, and the latter for Calvert.
1t was not until the break fast hour
rolled round, that ] found that
| had made "a sad mistake
in the putting up of my bag
gage, and that was HAD forgotten
to lay in a supply of provisions.
Thanks, however, to my friend
Drcyfus, was soon ieasting on
broilcd prairie chicken, light bread,
etc, and it has been some time
since | have made up as palatable
u breakfast, and so coed did 1 feel
after it, that l determined that il
was my duty 10 commend my
friends to him when they want
something good to eat. s..
On the train, ! also found several
members Of the legislature, who,
taken advantage Of the holiday our
lawmakers had given themselves
had ran TO their homes instead of to
the grand "spreo' ;, at Galveston.
They were Senator Evans from Tar
rant, and Mr.. Bordeaux from Cook,
and, we had tho addition at Corsi,
cana of Col. Winkler, the fat, gen.
ial, great,hearted and chivalrous
Colonel of the 4th Texas, Hood
brigadgo. Judge Pcndcrgast, Of
Limestone, and Mr.. Kemble Of
Ellis. There may have been other
members on board, but SC SO | did
not meet them. With such compa-
ny, aud bright sunshiny day, how
could one help but be entertainedi
and the day passed pleasantly
a -
enough. At Hearne, we parted com
pany with Capt. Castor, who took
the International road for Palestine,
but we had added to- the passen-
ger list DR.. Ri. Jones, lately Of
Dallas, who accompanied us to Cal.
vert, and here we lost DR.. Jones too
| came near forgetting to say that
1t happened to be about dinner tim
when we reached Hcarnc, andlike
all persons, again getting hungry, ]
invested d silver dollar in--well, !
will not say WHAT could but
merely mention remark made, by
Col. Who said that no had pity
for o man who dincd there once, but
for any person who repeated the
operation, he had no sympathy! ~
This was mylfrst offence andI was
pitied. .,t.rr
