a month we arc again at our post
Should our readers demand an
apology from us, for our protracted
stay in that Eastern land which
gave us birth, we feel that our taq
OF woes, trnthfully unfolded, will
allay all chickering's and complaints,
and enlist for us sympathy deeper
and purer than it is our purpose to
request Mt their hands. In our do
nestle circle, within the confines
ofour own family, the "fell de.
stroyer" has been at its "remorse.
less work, and from the number
of those loved and cherished by M,
has cut down the brightest flower
that doomed in tho garden of our
hopes and heart, The "solo daugh
ter of our house and heart has been
summoned hence to chat bright
land where spirits dwell immortal
with their God" TO watch over
her and count the fading pulse Of
"liies ever repeating throbs !" to
see the littlo one breathe hor last
and fall asleep in the quiotulo Of
otcrnal rest, delayed us, and this
alone is our excuse for not com.
muning daily with those who cx.
poet and have the right to hear
from us with zach issue of our pa.
per.
We have seen other countries
and po"rle than those with whom
we have cast our lot, however, since
last we appeared in the prints of
this journal, and have drawn any
number Of conclusions and formed
n multitude of opinions rel. tive to
the great, grand future which lies
unexplorod before tho citizens Oh
this State.
Texas, though young in years,
is mature already in the influence
which she exer.s in commercial
circles where we little dream her
power extends. Her genial eli
mate, productive lands and varied
harvests are fast accomplishing for
her a prosperity and attraction I'M
excelled and unsurpassed by any
State in the Union. Our wheat
harvest is almost here, while but Il
few hours ride north of us, in
those States which have boosted
themselves as the american gran
aries planters are scarcely ready
to begin the tickling process Incl.
dent to the hearty laugh of success
full husbandry.
The rapidly increasing facilities
Transportation which are grow.
ing near and nearer completion
day by day, will give us ere long
all that is reeded to place ourState
where it properly belongs in the
catalogue of soveroignties, and i'll
our people will but be patient, and
trust to themselves while theya-
Dor and wait, the day.dawn of
their prominence will be no dis
tant event, and will be no less per-
manent than brilliant when it
comes.
The queries of curious speula-
tors, the longings Of anxious, OPP
pressed yeomanry, whose travo
hearts and strong arms are Just
suited to the development Of the
latent resources of this incompara-
Bile field of wealth, are all about us
and toward us, and though The
tide ofimmigration has rolled o'er
our vast plains like the mighty
waters of d troubled sea angerd
by tempestuous winds, the ebb If
that tide has not yet reached us.
The volume of hardy husbandmer
have not yet entered our bordeis;
but soon they will come, from tie
North, East and West, and wit,
them will bring the joyous soagl
and light hearts that make prosper
ity happiness to those who con.
tribute to it's establishment.
We have everything to hope 70,
to work for, and to wait for;t and
let us do it like true men, deter
mined in our determination.
