Governor Ireland's Message and Other
Subjects of General Interest.
Special Correspondence of the Evening Light.
AUSTIN, January %, lSS3.-For the last ten
days there has been delegation of citizens
here from Lagarto seeking necessary legisla-
ton to enable them to organize county for
John Upton, the county to be made of the
northern part of Nueces and the southern part
of Live Oak county. One of the gentlemen
comprising this committee to-day told me that
they had expended several thousand dollars in
their effort to secure this county, and while
they are satisfied that they can get their bill
through the House they are equally sure that
when it reaches the Senate it will be killed, as
Senator Collins, who represents that district, is
one of the most influential members of that
body, and it will require but slight effort on
his part to kill it. AS he has begun his oppo-
sitiOn the delegates have abandoned all hope
of success and will return tomorrow to their
constituency, sad and disappointed.
The dispatch published in one of the San An
tonic papers, purpOrting to have been sent by
some friend OF Mr.. Joe Foster, notifying him
that Ben Thompson intended going to San
Antonio to see him, caused much fun here
among the sports.

ture, delivered to-day:
/ respectifully invite your attention TO the
subjects hereinafter referred to, regarding the
lands set oDart for educationaI Durnoses In
view of the difficulties i'm finding safe and de-
sirable Investments for the proceeds arising
from the sales of these lands. I submit TO your
honorable bodies whether II will not he hest 70
place them on the market at a long credit. saw
20 wears The whole subject is fraught with
difficulties but after mature consideration.
am of the opinion that a sale on long time il
desirable If the two houses shall concur i'm
this opinion, / would suggest that a minumu m
Drice he fixed below which they should NOT he
sold. and that books he opened for bids. whic
shall remain open subject to the inspection of

such time ms NAV be fixed upon. the lands he
awarded to the highest bidder. The law should
also require payment in advance equal to one
years interest, and should be so framed in
partys failure to pay into the treasury all the
interest and principal promptly when due.
deem it proper also, to state that the law should
so provide that lands shall be sold in quantities
