so until the final survey of our boundary. Its climate is uniform.
Its lands are almost as good as those of the Brazos for the cultiva-
tion of cotton. Many people are settling there without the consent
of either the supreme or the state government.
Anahuac
Anahuac is situated about a league from the mouth of Trinity
River upon its left bank. Its location is very picturesque. While
troops were stationed there it enjoyed a fair trade, but since then
it has almost been abandoned.
Beeville
Beeville [Bevil] is a town situated on the east bank of the Neches
River at the point of juncture with the Angeline. It is making
good progress and it will flourish as the result of the navigation of
the said rivers and of Sabine Bay.
Teran
Teran is another small town situated upon the Neches River
above Beeville, about forty or fifty miles from Nacogdoches. It
has only eight or ten houses and most of them have been aban-
doned since the removal of the troops from that point.
Tanaha
Tanaha, a town to the northeast of Nacogdoches, at a distance
of about thirty-five miles, and situated on the creek bearing the
same name, is made up chiefly of fugitives from the United States.
They are peaceful now, and are dedicated to the raising of cotton,
corn, and other products.
Schools
There are three primary schools in this department: one at
Nacogdoches, which is very poorly equipped; another at San Agus-
tine, and one in Johnsburg. Texas needs a good public school
where Spanish may be taught, otherwise this language will dis-
appear. Already almost nothing but English is spoken in that
part of the republic.210
