Texas.

No State in the Union sends an abler del
egation to the Forty-fourth Congress than
Texas. Judge Reagan, Governor Throck-
morton and Mr.. Hancock are gentlemen Of
national regulations and stand in the front
rank of the public men of this generation;
while Mr.. Culberson possesses the ability
and energy to soon assume conspicuous
position.
OF the other members Of the delegation
we know little, but are informed they are
gentlemen OF ability and high cultivation.
We are glad to note these facts, FOR what
ever contributes to the fair fame and pros
perity of Texas, must rejoice the hearts Of
Louisianians.
Through all our years Of oppression,
humiliation and ruin, the people Of Texas
have been our steadfast friends, sympa-
thizing in our wrongs and ready az any
moment to give US their aid. II there had
been a grain Of cowardice in Texas bones,
OF tinge of recreant blood in Texas veins,
when that State had first thrown of her
own burdens, and her own liberty hung
almost upon the breath Of a partisan and
malevolent President, she would have said,
u am out Of the wilderness, Louisiana and
the others must take care Of themselves.
But Texas assumed no such ignoble position.
her limbs, she lifted up her voice in de-
nunciation Of the wrongs Of Louisiana.
Her Legislature was the first, we believe,
that sent forth its protest to the country
against the Kellogg usurpation, and Cover
nor Coke has denounced that crime against
liberty and humanity in the most scathIne
terms. When the news Of the fourteenth
OF September swept over the land, tho 70
joicing throughout Texas was IS universal
and enthusiastic as it was throuRhor
Louisiana, and there were as many Texan,
who gfasped their guns and looked TO their
primlngs as there were Louisianians; indeed,
the Texans were ready and resolved tomakc
with as any fight that might have resulted
from the splendid events Of that day. And
finally, when the news went forth that 80
had carried the election in our State On
second. instant, the intelligence awaken
the widest enthusiasm throughout re
bOniires were kindled and guns fired. q

tween these two peoples whose terri ~
are linked together from where the iron

Red River to the prairies Of the West 10
where the Southern breezes, laden with the

I.areRArroN PAssENoER RATES. = Mr..
II. Baker, Of the Galveston Mercury, in
h,s editorial correspondence from ST. Louis,
states that the rates for immigrants from
that city to differen. points IN Texas are as
follows: Austin, $3.50; Palestine, Si1.soi
Luling. $3.50; Houston, $780, Waco,
$3.50: Hearne, s14, and Dallas, Sis.5O.
Each immigrant is allowed two hundred
Mounds Of baggage. and al are brought
through on the regular passenger trains,
there being no special immigrant trains.
Extra efforts should be made on the part Of
our citizens to secure liberal share OF the
Immigrants docking into the State from all
directions by rail, water and wagons. Five
thousand spfinklsd over the county could

COUNTY RoADs.-our county roads are
wofully out of order, and there is considera-
BILE complaint on the part of citizens about
it. The narrow lane Just beyond the Blind
Asylum is almost lmpassaCIe, wI1Ie sils=s~r-
Saba or Lampasas road is an eyesore to the
frontier people who do business with this

our county commissioners could make a

BILE effort to Improve the roads.
