EMlGRANT's, (ESpAssANT.) day by
day our streets are filed by wagons
belonging to persons going to Texas.
Hale, hearty looking, young men and
women compose this caravan, all look
ing happy and contented a. if they
thought they were going to tile land
Of promise. They generally come
from across the Mississippi and have
started with the firm resolution Of
going to Texas, and no inducements
offered them will change their route.
In vain they may he told of the nd.
vantages Of this country and climate i;
of the productivencss Of our soil, the
yield per acre; how much this man
or that man has made last year of
cotton and corn by his own hands, to
al this they turn a deaf ear, and con.
tinue their route Texaswarl. They
say they are going to a white mans
country, to live among white men,
and raise their children among white
men, and even to die among white
men. They may he told of the rich
lands here lying waste, and begging
the hands Of the husbandman to come
and till them !; these lands may be Of.
fered to them on the most adyanta-
geous terms and conditions, but still
on they move to Texas! It is one of
the strangest things in nature, that
here in our Parish is to be found open
lands, the most productive, grateful
beyond natures bountiful hands, re-.
turning in rapid succession ten. fold
for every lick Of work, and yet no
one seeking for them. There must be
a cause for this singular phenomena,
and finding the cause there must be a

If the Doctor had told this story to
the Picnyune, it at least would have
borne tho semblance of truth, and
circumstances might have further
clothed it with an appearance Of pro-
liability; but then the association
perhaps would not have suited him
so we'll and, therefore, he preferred
to tell the tale he did. We suppose
the Doctor can tell how they met in
their hiding place arid "wh4s the
sentinel stars set their watch in the
sky" they produced their haversacks
and "by the wolf soaring faggots''
they divided contents in their lonely
bivouacs away down in tile border

we are impressed with the idea that
everything the Doctor reported must
have been gathered from such stuff
as dreams are made Of, for certainly
there is no foundation in truth for
what he related of Col. Levy. ~.

An Influx Of Country Statesmen

The chiefs of the Republican party
in the country arc becoming uneasy.
Vague rumors Of the defeat of thei,
loved idol, the fallen party, floated to
them in their rustic homes, and az
soon as local affairs permitted they
donned their "other" suits and HE'D
themselves to the city for more au.
thentic information aud for the poor
comfort which a sight of other suf.
fsrers might afford.
They could not realize that they
were defeated; utterly left out in the
cold, and with startled eyes and elon-
gated visages, they came to inquire
of their leaders if such things could
possibly be, only to be sorrowfully
confirmed of the actual truth.
The corridors Of the Governors
office, and the ante room of Mr.. Pack
ards consulting chamber, are now
daily crowded az in Legislature times,
with melancholy politicians-a n d
scheming ones, too.-N. o. Pic.
And this motley crowd is to be
