A COMMON CONCLUSION
ON DEEP WATER AT GALVESTON.
Mr.. Jones' Judgment is that 1t is Impos-
sible, and He Claims to Have Had
Much Experience, Too
Mouth of the Brazos.

BURTON, Jan. 29.-[Editor HERALD.l-
While it would be- impossible to make
the good people of Galveston believe
that it is entirely impossible and i'm
practicable to produce and maintain
deep water at that point, between the
bay and gulf, it is nevertheless a fact,
and as much au impossibility, too, as to
drain the Gulf of Mexico into the Pa
| c11c ocean, or to invent machine to
control the winds and tile, from the
simple fact that for miles long and
broad, there is a bottomless extent of
| quicksand that no foundation could
| be male to stand. The island
itself upon which the city is built, is Ii
able at any time to be undermined and
wiped out OF existence, if, indeed, such
q storm should strike it that visited
Matagorda and other lower coast towns
in 1856.
With no other interest whatever, pc
cuniary or otherwise, than to state mere
facts as they exist, do | state thus: Be-
ing acquainted with this coast for thirty
three years from Sabine to Corpus, both
in boating and as contractor for inn
proving river navigation under state
contracts in 1858, l can speak
admirably, of the situation, and
pii'O VIII oulJ PROVE bllub VII
appropriations towards placing perma-
nent deep water on this bar al Calves
ton will be squandered, and 500 times as
much might be sunk in these quick
sands with little benefit to others eX-
cept the contractors and the lobbyists.
The mouth of the Brazos river is the
only place that presents the natural req
. uisites tor a great and permanent har
Dor and outlet that is so much needed
and desired ON this coast. Here, there
is solid, stiff clay foundation, under
q meath few feet of sand, and no out
ward bar as at every other point OF
this coast, but the deep-blue waters
, OF the gulf approach abruptly
a up to the river bar, which is only few
r hundred yards across to deep water il
a the river, that extends from twenty /,
;, thirty miles, sffordipg one of the fines
!, harbors in the world, with room for al
g the fleets and merchant ships to safel,
anchor. Here, too, can no more beauti
G tul place be found in which to erect
n city, on either bank OF the Brazos, a

- few hundred thousand dollars to fms
what nature has so nearly completed
and city would spring up that conf
dence and safety could be placed in II
; security, and in spite of all the brio
V and mortar erected at Galveston. thi
will evidently some day pc done.
Yours for facts,

"MY LOVE AND l."

1t is not very often that the HERALD
follows in the wake of Silas Wegg,when
that gentleman dropped into poetry, but
the annexed moroccan from CASA Hartz"
is so remindful to so many of It's readers
of their pleasant, but rather enforced
visit to JOhnson's Island, that it cannot
refrain from giving it publicity. 1t is
from the diary of Capt. W. II. McEntire,
of this city, who sat by the side of the
poet when the idyl was penned at john

An un.nprec,otIve BLIND Man,

A young man, who is blind, has been
doing the town for the past " eek, seek
ing aims at the hands of a charitable
people, has within that time been twice
arrested by the police on the charge of
drunkenness, but owing to his sad in
trinity, the court has each time let him
go. The court Is likely to get tired of
the unfortunate mans conduct, for
he does nothing TO earn living but
begs from his more fortunate fellow
man and spends the proceeds in getting
drunk, and at such times he becomes
disorderly. Naturally, his intirmities
are such that he Is an object Of charity,
but his conduct is such that he will no
longer be tolerated by the police force.

and Other Matters.
Cheap Coal For Dallas.

A HERALD reporter called on Prof.
w. +. Cummins, the geologist, at his
office in this city yesterday, and asked
him to give some information with re-
gard to the coal deposit in Wise county,
Texas. The following is about the in
formation given. The coal belongs TO
the carboniferous age, and is continu-
alton Of that formation extending from
Missouri through the Indian Territory
to the Colorado liver, in Texas. The
formation is such as to warrant
the belief that abundant coal will be OBJ
tanned when transportation can be had.
The quantity of coal already obtained is
sufficient to warrant heavy investments
in mining, when the coal can be dis
posed of. The coal is true bituminous,
and is the best coal found in the state
better than that at Gordon. The coal is
nov being worked in small way, ten
only ten miles from rail-
road. The coal stratum crops out
in the bed of branch, and
will be easily put on the surface. The
coal has good covering and can be
as easily mined as any coal in the
world. Tho drainage IS sufficient to
prevent any flooding from water. The
country from Decatur to where the coal
is now being taken out is comparatively
level and no difficulty would be expe
rienced in reaching that place with &
railroad. Coal can be obtained in Other
localities in that county, a!
well as in Jack and Young, o
similar quality and quantity
The GOALS of such quality that when {
railroad is built to the mines, it coulC
successfully compete with the Goa
brought from the Indian territory. Prof
Cummins says he has made thorough
examination of the coal fields Of TeXa
and bases his opinions upon persona
observation.

j. Morrison, colored, was arrested yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff Jacoby upon
the charge of robbing the exchequer of
the Headlight saloon, at the intersec-
ton of Main street and the Central rail
way, Friday night. Only 50 or SO were
purloined. Morrison was jailed. The
saloon has been robbed number of
times OF late of small sums, and the
supposition is that Morrison, who has
been working there, is the party who
has been operating.
