To tb* Editor of Us it (rash:
Coldmbds, Texas, Sept. 26; 1870.
The eminent success which as at-
tended Dr Isaac Towel in the coltore
of tbe Lee ribbon cane, tbia and the
past two years open third rate Color-
ado land, and tbe disoositiug of our
people to embark in tbe business, as
evidenced by sacb n> • SCm. men mk
Col.'J Shaw. Louis Brome and oth-
ers, has led me to examine into its
price, prospects, present and future
I find nine tentb* of ail tbe su^br itu
ported into tbe United 8ta'es, comes
from tbe West Indies, and Caba pro
duces one-third of the soger of tbe
commerce of the world. The present
troubled condition of affairs in Cuba
has rendered tbe question of emanci-
pation a fixed fact. Io that event tbe
aopply will be largely cat short lrorn
tbat source, and with an additloo en
hancement of piice. Witb the who^e-
sale price now at lOapd 11 cents per
pound, with every prospeot ot a fur-
ther advance, with a certainty of 1200
pounds per acre*of soger, at 11 ceots
per poood, and two barrets of molas-
ses at $80 per barrel* it is evident no
staple con or does pay as well. Tbes-
facts lead mo to inquire aa to your
mode of culture, cost and mannfae-
ture. I think an artiele fay all means
should be io the Texas Almanac, and
tbe Piess of oar State should eall at-
tention to tbe subject.

between her and Spain, the heroism
of her people, tbeir liberal seutiments,
'heir capacity for independent govern-
ment, ail cry aloud ia her favor, and
demand her independence. Why has
sh« failed to sclrievtt iif Why, though
atiil straggling, doe* sbu seem to
■Waggle in vainf To my mind tbe
answer seems plain. Hsd oar Gov*
eminent manifested for the patriots
of Caba that *ymp*tby which is due
from the grtat republic to a brave
people fighting and suffering for free-
dom. Caba would, ere this, nave been
free.
••But tbey have received no such
sympathy ; worse yet. they have met
with positive discouragement. While
Spain has been permitted to provide
herself in New York with a formida-
ble navy to pat down the Cubans, ev«.
ery vessel leaving her ports to carry
succor to the latter has been seized, or
sought to be seised, by our govern*
meut. While tbe persistency of
-Spain in holding tbe Cubans in sub-
jection against their will has met with
oo remoustraoce from oar Govern-
menc. a Presidential message has been
sent to Coogressaa discouraging in its
tone and effects upon tbe patiiots as
if it bed told tbem in so msoy wordfe
to lay down their arms.
"Yes, fellow-citizeos, this is tbe
treatment than an American people—
for Caba is American—straggling for
republican government and independ-
ent existence, have met with at the
bands of a republican Administration
This is the treatment a people whose
first act of political existence was co
abolish slavery, have met with at the
bands of tbe special friunds of tbe col
ored man.
, '.'And here I mane remark—for 1 do
not mean to be ur just—that it is pot
for obedience to our neutrality, laws
that, 1 censure the Admlnistation. So
Jong as (hey are in lorce^it is the du-
ty of all to obey them. But why have
they not been modified as the oeca-
siou demanded? I feel sure tbat no
Democrat vole would have been given
against ttwir modification; but bad
every Dnmucrat in Congress voted
uay.JthMr« was still a great Kepnbli*
can majority tbat could monld tbem
as it p eaked. And wben it was clear
ly perceived thus their sole effect
was to give aid to Spain and injure
tbe cause of tbe patriots, wby where
they not changedf Let those upon
whom rests tbe responsi ility answer.
"But whatever should be done with
them, whether tbey shonld be altered
or let alone, what possible cause can
bo given for tbe attiiade of the Ad
ministration in this struggle? It Jl*
woald not say one word to aid^'mijfnt
