merous other roads are spoken of in
this portion of the State. Young men
without any particular line of business
or capital, who contemplate emigra-
ting to this State with the expectation
that something win turn up" had
better remain where they are, as
there are hundreds of young men here
from the older States who would
gladly return home if they had the
means to Go so; though with a few
hundred of dollars, backed by energy,
any man ought to succeed. Living
here is not higher than in Virginia,
-four is worth four dollars per hun
bred, and corn fifty cents per hushei,
beef five cents per pound. Storms
have been frequent recently, and du-
ring a severe one which passed over
this town last night young lady was
killed by lightning. and the cotton a1d
wheat are severely injured in this vi
cinity. The weather is pleasant, there
is constant breeze from the Gulf
which / am informed continues all the
Summer. For the benefit of those
who expect to emigrate, as regards
route, by way of st. Louis, is the best
from Bristol to Dennison, the fare is
sixty dollars.

as we'll as to the rich. I will give you
some statistics to enable you to get q
proper estimate of the wealth and i'm
portance of this place There are
nearly 700 public schools in operation,
with an average attendance of 33 600,
yet there are 1881 persons who cam
not read. and 23.420 who cannot write.
The State Library contains 10000 vol
umes, and the Boston Library, Isl. 600.
There are also 20 circulating and sub
scription libraries comprising $1,000
volumes. The Athenaeum library
contains $1,000 volumes. The Unita-
rians are the largest and richest of the
churches. The Methodists are second
in numbers, and sixth in wealth. The
Roman Catholics sare 4th, in wealth.
and third in value of church property.
There are five theaters, and many lee
ture halls. The artists studios, and
the picture galleries are quite feature
in Boston There is however, I think,
very little true appreciation for the
fine arts. Rubinstein was in danger
of bankruptcy as long as he stayed.
Pictures and statues are bought be-
cause it is the fashion and Boston's
reputation must be sustained. The
public charities ana internal arrange
ments of Boston cannot be too much
commended.

Letter from Texas.
PILOT POINT,
Venton Co. Texas.

PILOT POINT,
Venton Co. Texas.
May 30th 1878.
DEAR News.
Thinking q brief account of this
portion of Texas might interest few
of your readers, will give few points,
which you can publish if you desire.
This region of country is known as
Northern Texas :" aud on the whole
is sure to be the most desirable portion
of the State, from the fact that the soil
if very fertile, and is better adapted to
the culture of wheat, oats, &C., than
mere Southern counties, while cotton
is grown with equal facility: the finest
wheat that l have seen is here, and
the crops generally are sure to be good.
This country is one vast undulating
pIairie, the greater part of which not
being cultivated, is covered with grass
and presents beautiful appearance to
one accustomed to hills and noun
taius. Timber is scarce only found on
the bayous in narrow strips. Emil
grafton is very strong and the country
is filling up rapidly. Dennison the
terminus of the NJ. K. e. II. r. r. has
a population of four thousand, aud is
only eight months old. Sherman is
growing equally as fast. The best
lands can be bought at from $500 to
s. 90 per acre, (e. &. ct little distance
from the tcimnus. and better than any
ever saw in Virginia, or Tennessee. A
homestead Of one hundred and sixty
acres can be gotten, at cost of about
ten dollars. The law requires parties
taking homesteads to reside on the
land three years. Thirty miles West
of this point, State lands can be oh
tanned at a cost of about thirty cents
per acre. Mechanics are in demand,
especially brick masons. Professional
men are here without number and the
Merchantile business is overdone /:
but for farmers and men having cap
ital to invest in lands this country
offers great inducements. To show
the rapid growth of this portion of
Texas, it has only been four years
since the Cammanehe Indians made
frequent raids through here, and only
twelve months since. they came with
i'm ten miles of Pilot Point, now they
Go not come within forty miles of this

ulority that the Southern Pacific, Tor

MURpEg is becoming one OF the rt-
fnod sciences Of the day. The num-
Der Of homicides is beyond our capaci-
ty to publish, aud the fiendish and
strange atrocity of some of them sur
passes even their number. The Nanse-
mond horror is supplemented by n.
Y. City case In which young Frank
H. Walworth murdered his father,
Mansfield t. Walworth, at one Of the
city hotels. The deceased had been
divorced from the mother of young
Walworth, aud it is said had been
very cruel TO her and their son,
who desiring to take trip to Europe
first wrote his father to meet him at
the hotel, and after asking him if he
would promise not to modest his
mother during his absence, and being
answered in the affirmative, conclu-
ded the safest way would be to kill
him, which he then and there did
with q pistol, aud then went to po-
lice station and gave himself up. The
deceased had some distinction as an

GEN. WISE,

Gen. Wise has written q letter
which evidently has for its design the
transfer of portion Of the Conserva>
tive strength to the radical party, in
order that he may become its leader
The letter is a mild rebuke to the
republican party and deals in great
detail in downright censure Of the
conservative organization. The only
charge preferred against the republic
cans is that they disfranchised the
writer Of that letter, and for ali else
that they have doue they receive the
gratitude and applause of the Gener>
al. Not one word of commentator
is offered the brave people whom he
deoignedly and premeditatedly led
into trouble, but on the contrary
there is no ono measure, the burden
Of whose execution has fallen upon
the conservatives, that does not IN
this letter receive his unqualified
condemnation, The Editor of the
Neacs re nembers we'll that in 1860 he
asked Gen. Wise as to the probability
ofthe secession of Virginia. He was
then a member Of tie State conven>
tior ard with his usual theatrical en-
phasis he exclaimed "Sir I'll be
damned ;f she shan't secede.-
The people who followed him
then are nov asked to follow him
il another and more wicked de-
lection, in which he may find
some excitement for tie puerilities of
this period of bis dotase, but from
which, if he stills has aught left of
true Virginian pride. he will yet wish
that oblivion could protect him.
There is evidently a preconcerted
movement between Gen. Wise and
the Lewis, or anti Hughes. faction of
the Republican party. The letter of
Gen. Wise means something more
than treachery. 1t aims at success
and says so in very unblushing Ian
guage.
He saws:
"If thought l could succeed in
opposition to both of the present or
carnations Of the State | would de-
clare myself candidate for the office
OF Governor Immediately; but [ am
without purse and without a press to
contend with the two already banded
10 make nominations. | will not in
CUR the odium by running Of electing
the one or the other. But If either
the Conservative or REPUBLICAN Con-
Uentjon mill abstain from nominating
candidate Of It's O1on IsoiR. as an IN
dependent candidate. oppose the NOM
NEE OF the other; / care not 'rbich
obstains or a9htch dominates If both
the conventions nominate | will not
be a candidate at ALL"
Now it will be seen whether Hughes
can be beaten off with an old con
federa.e 6roomstick. The war is GET

CHOLERA.
Fight dog, fight bear;
Marry dog of mine there

Nashville is ablaze with excitement.
Cholera, said to be real Asiatic Chol-
era, has appeared, and though the
physicians call it sporadic and not
epidemic yet it has proven very fatal.
A number of deSths have occurred in
less than ,en'hours from the moment
of attack. New Orleans and Mem
phis have besn visited by the scourge,
but Nasty dis, is getting pretty close
to US. i'entapooga and Knoxville
are ALARMED, and we dare to tell the
people Of Bristol to beware. Already
we have cases of Colera Morbus. -
The season * wet and hot, and the
small fruits and early vegetables
should be used cautiously. There is
evidently present some liability to
disorders Of the alimentary canal and
we should pay attention to cleanli-
ness and to diet.

BRISTOL, June 4 1873.

Mr.. EDITOR.
The cOlored Methodists of Bristol
have just had a protracted meeting,
held by Rev. Walker Smith and Rev.
R. J. Gassaway, commencing on Sat-
urday May 81.
The opening sermon was preached
by Rev. Gassaway, of the A. M. E..
Church, from the XIV chap. Is and 10
of Luke. On Sunday he preached
from Psalms XVIII and 4th verse,
Zone thing have 1 desired ofthe Lord"
He held his crowded audience SPELL
bound, and many realized that it was
good to be there.
Bro. Smith preached from John
III and l6th-"For God so loved the
WORLD" The word took hold on sin
ners and they were found crying for
the pardoning grace of God.
A number of converts have been adj
ded to the Church.

Editor of the NelCs:
As it will be of interest to a large
number of your readers and especially to
the members of the bar | wish you
would state in your paper that Judge
Kelly has fixed upon the first Monday in
each of the following months for holding
the Circuit Court of this county, viz:
October, January and May. The first

coming bonds and the ike, not requiring
Juries or witnesses, viii be heard at any
convenient time. This change is made
under the new law changing the jurisdic-
ton of the courts.

TERRIBLE MURDER.
Near Suffolk Va.

On Sunday the LIST inst, Mrs. Jones
and Mrs. Dosier, two aged ladies were
cruelty and brutality murdered in Nam
semond Co. Va, while the other mem
bers of the family were at Sunday
School, half mile away. One of Mrs.
Jones' daughters returned with some
company earlier than the others, and
ran into the house to notify her moth
er and aunt that some friends would
dine with them, when she found them
both on the floor dead. A negro
named Jim Brown was arrested on
suspicion but discharged. Afterward
his bloody clothing was found in his
house, and after much trouble he has
