DEAR HERALD-In March. 1862, we
arrived In Dallas, then, comparatively,
a small village Driven from our
happy home at Springfield, Missouri,
10y he oppression and tyranny of the
"Army of the Republic" for opinions
sake, aud, rs you are well aware, ran
The HERALD for nine months. Dallas
was then beautiful town, Inhabited
10y a heightened, social and intelligent
class of people, enjoying all the social,
religious and civil rights of free white
American citizens. We worked hard
but enjoyed the benefit of our labor.
On many a twilight evening, after
hard days labor, have we cast our
shawl upon the green sward eneircling
the Courthouse, then enclosed by a
neat plank fence, hard by well of
pure cold water, and enjoyed the luz
ury until the "wee small hours Of
early dawn warned ls that II was time
to be up and doing. What is our
Courtyard now?, No fence OF any kind;
no green grass; no cool water, but
dry, dusty yard, with plenty of mole

but we are thankful that

CITIZEN.
Citizen in his communication por-
trays the great contrast between the
Courthouse square of the present day
and that OF ten years ago, We have
strong hopes that fence will soon he
erected around the building, and that
green grass and fresh water will once
more gladden. the eyes of our cold
citizens" General Cabell will present
a petition to this effect to the County
Court at their next session, and will
ass. every influence at his command to
accomplish his purpose. Some parties,
who deprecate this nuisance, are will
ing and anxious to contribute gener-
.ously towards building substantial
fence around the square. The best
plan Is to wait until the County Court
has taken some action In the matter.

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald
We have read with considerable in
,terest the communication OF Peter
.Giit,p Of Denton, in your issue OF this
morning, and we are gratiied to learn
that Denton county possesses the large
bodies of lands for which we have been
advertising through your columns for
past months, /. e., production, ana OF
good location, unquestionable title ana
at two to four dollars per acre. Inc
item contained in this communication
to-wit: I'VE hear reports OF colonies
from Tennessee and other States, want
ing thousands of acres of land IN this
section of the State, yet these colo
nists or their represe natives never
show themselves here,n is one CRAFTY
ing to us, as We have rs strangers been
seeking through your advertising col
umns for one month past, just such
lands, without a single response ex-
cept from parties holding lands ON the
very "frontierr aud totally unsuited to
the purposes. We are prepared ana
came here in good faith TO help work
out the growth and development OF
Northern Texas, and know from long
experience just how to bring the PEG.
pie TO the lands, but cannot do this
without having the specific lands
to which they may be brought,
and hence our proposition for colonlH-
lug lands. Now, We are glad to learn
that Denton county has just what we
now need, and are pleased to make
the owners the neutrality-suspicious. o.
wit: Place at our control such body
of land in Denton county, as above
described, of ten, twenty or fifty thous-
and acres, with the proper facilities OF
mapping and advertising the same,
and O fair compensation Tor our ser
vices and we will fill the same win
the right sort Of people, and at blg
profit to the owners and great benent
to the community. Very truly,

Peter Git aud the land owners OF

1t Is an indisputable fact that a great
many more colonies would have been
established In Texas during the fiscal
year had their agents succeeded In
making the proper arrangements for
their colonization. Generally In suci
cases large bodies of land are needed

SAN FRANCISCO, October 20.-Dis.
patches published this morning say
The very lat est from the mines is that
smoke from the Ophir is due entirely
to the first few tlmbers which were
burned. Men at the Ophir believe
there is no fire below. The machinery

good to use again. From information
received this morning FROM private
sources, 1t seems evident that the ex-
act condition of the mines is vet un-
known. The presence of gas and
smoke exctes considerable suspicious
that some serious damage has been
sustained In the works.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 29.--Private
dispatches convey gratifying informa-
