The Ilonston Ttieaifcfmsays of it:
We have &a#3fsc pleasure of looking
over A;: S.^thveu's publication of
_pfoee^Rngs of the Masonic Grand
Lodjrc OF Texas from its establishment
in lfc)Tdown to the present time.
They are contained in two volumes
of 350 pages each, printed on tine white
paper in excellent type, and well bound
in cloth, and are issued from the publi-
cation office, of the Galveston News.—
The compilation has been the work of
a good; deal of labor and expense. It
has boen undertaken with no hope of
profit, but to comply with the often ex-
pressed wishes of the fraternity. The
t wo volumes are sold at $5, which, all
Things considered, is a law price indeed.

Great Jncrease in Population in
Texas.—There is one Southern State,
says the Cincinnati Euquiter, which is
increasing in population with a rapidi-
ty that quite, or almost, equals that of
our new Northern States. We allude
to Texas. At the late State election,
in August last, about sixty thousand
votes were polled. As its population
is scattered over an immense territory,
and in many places is quite inaccessible
to the polls, and as it contains a large
number of slaves, it is safe to estimate
that not more than one out of every

In this style conversation would be

The Camels;—A letter has been re-
ceived by the Secretary of War from E.
F. Beale, Superintendant of the wagon
road from Fort Defiance to the Mohave
River, 27th September. 100 miles East
of the Colorado river, in which he says
of the camels in his employ :
I cannot sufficiently express my admi-
ration of that noble brute, the camel:
and I am confidently looking forward to
the day when it will be found in gener-
al use in all parts of the country. The
idea that their feet would break down in
traveling our rocky ground is an explo-

asked for ft*om the State, and the com-
pany obligates itself to commence ope-
rations within six months, to construct
iive hides of the road within twelve
months, and twenty-five miles within
two years. The Internal Improve-

satisfactory evidence has been exhibited

was of comparatively modern date;
but they will be somewhat surprised,
says the Cincinnati Times, " to learn
that its origin dates as far back as the
time of Nero, and was established by
the Roman soldiers in the year 55. At
that time they were called " Fellow-
Citizens." The present name was giv-

years afterwards, and they were so
