Editor Telegraph,
Having promised some members of
the Legislature, whose scqan'otanoA
I have formed while traveling, to
write on some subjects of general in
t3rest which I had the bouor to con->
verse with them about, please permit
the communication of a few crude
thoughts, in your widely circulated
paper, for the amplification and fam
ther development ot the honorable
gentlemen who may hold the weal
of tbo State in tbeir law makio.
hands—a responsibility which should
make men honestly conscientious and
perseveringly faithful iu the high
calling committed to their trust. This
ts no time for detaagoguism and party
aspirations
The greatest good to onr loug aul'-
foring country must be the motto of1
everyone, and our legislative fnuo '
tionaries must, and I hope will, nr«
dently labor as statesmen, and not as!
political intriguers. Let the people
watch with candor and hope for tho:
beet; encourage and co-operate with
tn yow-M that bn. as far as they go
right, judging men by their acts, and
faithfully supporting the competent,
who show they have the country's
highest good at heart, whatever may
be tbeir apparent political relations.
I met with a gentleman on his way
to Austin, a candidate for oltlce. Said
lie wns a Northern man, and Major iu
ihe U S. army, but is now a resident
and planter of this State, and directly
tnterested iu its general prosperity.
I conversed with him about the im-
policy of individuals owning vast
amouttB of land and holding it at
such high prices, bo discouraging to
immigration. He admitted the fact,
and said he was not only williug, but
would labor to correct this evil, and
though he was himself a largo land
owner, he would favor high taxation
on such land ns a source of revenue,
and to impel the people to tenant or
dispose ot their surplus land, and
thus make available the very groun
work of the country's grealnt v
Like a lets amount of cotton will
bring a larger aggregate amount, so
these extensive land holders wonld
realizo a greater income from a small
portion ot their real ^state, by aq en-
hancement in value which industrious
settlers wonld produce. Let " wild
'and" be well taxed, and it will result
in good.

pondent on taxing unproductive laud.

The Kicicapoos.—Everybody on
afflicted frontier knows of this
band of fierce and well armed sav-
ages, who have for the past three or
four years made a regular business of
horse stealing, killing arid scalping
on our border, escaping with impu
nity to their refuge at Santa Ilosa uu
der the cover of the Mexican Eagle.
There are about three hundred of
these scoundrels, who have practically
unsettled and driven in our frontier,
and kept the markets of Mexico sup-
plied with stolen stock.
No energetic and sonsible effort has
ever boen made by the military to
suppress this unbearable nuisance;
nor will they permit our gallant set-'
tiers to carry fire and sword to this
den of lobbers which our sister lie<<
public so openly harbors.
But we learn from a traveler direct
from Monterey, that these savages
have of late become defiant and reekw
less, murdering Mexicans as well as
Americans, and robbing on both sides
of the Rio Q-rande. They were, there-
fore, ordered to remove from the ter-
ritory of Mexico, and rofusing, were
attacked by a cavalry force, which
they handsomely whipped in a severe
combat.—Sau Antonio Express.

Dbak Sir—lteferring to my inter*
view with you on this subject, and by
u note from Mr. J. M. Jones, the Seen
rotary, I l>eg to inform you that the
Silk Supply Association of England,
of which I am Treasnrer, is most anx-
ious to stimulate tho cultivation qf
silk in Texas, California and other
States, and for that purpose they would
be glad to give all tho information in
their power. It is u subject worthy
of being taken up by the Legislature
of the State.
Mulberry trees should be planted
every where, and should form your
liedgrows aud bouudary lines. Tho
cultivation of silk is cleanly,{agreea-
ble and profitable; and requires only
constaut attention during the life of
the worm, for about forty or fifty
(lavs. Mr, Dicken's pamphlet gives
an epitome of all the main points re*
quired to be known. I |have cultiva«
ted at my own house in London,
thousands of silk worm eggs, and
never had a single death. We have
proved that even in England silk quI
ture can be oatried on to a large ex*
tent aud with considerable profit.
Texas, I am informed, is peouliarly
fitted in every respect for this indus-
try.
Can yon not bring the subject fully
before your State authorities f It
would be worth their while to order
experiments on a large scale to be
tried, as lias been done in California.
I shall bo glad to receive any com-
munication from you at my >address,
OjKMoorgate street, London.
I am yours, truly,
David Cuadwick.
Mr. Richardson moved that the cor-
respondence be received and publish-
ed, and the industry recommended to
the attention of tho planting interest.
The motion was adopted.

It Is hard to understand how a ves-
sel, under ordinary circumstances,
could have got so far out of her course
as tho Notre Dame de Fourvoiors ap-

encountered terrible weather before

Unfortunate Mkxioo.—Ma/.atlan,
Feb. 22, via San Francisco, March 3.
—Gen. Placidio Vega finally entered
Sinaloa and issued his proclamation
adopting the political plan of Seca-
toras, ignoring Juarez as President
ot the Republic.
Tho day after the proclamation was
issued, the town of Kosario was cap*
tared by Dou Sandoval's command.
During the absence of the troops from
Mazatlan, a raid was made on Quar-
to], but the revolutionists were re-
pulsed and retreated to Prcsido. Col
Camberoshad pronounced in favor of
Vega. Gov. Virbel had left Mozatlan.
ostensibly to raise tfoops; but the
general belief is that ho has abscon-
ded.
The foreign merchants hold a meet-
ing to organize a guard for mutual
protection.
A plan to assnsinato Gen. Dovala-
ros and the principal officers of tiie
Federal troops at Muzat.lan was frns*
trated. Several of the leaders wen-
arrested, and two condemned to be
shot,
Gen. Vega is expected in Ma/.atlan
within ten days.
Bands of guerrillas are traveling
through thh country, committing in
discriminate murder and robbery.
A Gallant 8pb«ch— Dr Deems, of the
"Church of the Strangers," is held responsi-
ble fur saying that upon the whole the ex-
travaganco in woman'sdress has the 'adeem-
ing feature, that it proves how inepressib'y
sweet womanhood itself is; for every time
there eomes lo some new extravagance mote
atrocious than its predecessor hn thinks
that will make woman Intolerable; but after
seeing her in that same costume lor a few
weeks, sweet woman triumphs and is as
sweet as ever.
