fnonths ago, and who has many friends
in South Carolina, writes as follows to
friend in this cou'hty: .
have not written to you, as I promised,
but. really it is simply because did not
wish to write unplcasantly. Of this country
or people, If ~ longer acquaintance would
impress me less unfayorably; buf ,6nd
that the more l find out of Texas, the more
wish that had remained in South Caro-
lima. am now in Brazos Bottom, where
tho land is very fertile, yielding from 500
to 7sO. po,inds of lint tc6fton, aiid' Corn, oats
etc., in like proportion; lies well, and sells
Gin woods, at S5 al acre, or S1s if cleared;
and with convict labor it is generally pro-
fitablc to plant, provided one. has fnHney;
but free negroes are as t:itling 70 work fof
white people here as in any part of tho
South. Tue climate is very disagrceable -
t;'noithcrs' coming every few days, bring
ing rain, and the mud is like tar. Chilis
and bilious. fever prevailing even at this
season Of the year; no decent neighbors
Within ten miles; not q church within
reach; terrible roads, and the people litter
rte, selfish, rowdy and mean. All the
towns and Cities have refined people, and
oll of the indications Of tivt,nstf6M. The
State is Hooded with young men seeking
any employment to live. The ladies, .hHrroo
have to cook and dy 'housewoSiz the grcaaer
portion of the year.
Colonel Davis closes with the dcclar-
alton that he will return 20 South Car
olina rs soon as he can. Ills impress
Fions Of Texas are BY no means favor
able, and his! statements not at all
encouraging to those who may con-
