We regret that the severity of the winter

The Cypress Creek Poll.
We give place to the following, promising
that the persons whose names are at-
tached, went to Coulter's and were told that
there would be no poll opened there, it
would be opened at Cypress City. They
left Coulter's after 12 o'clock and went to
Cypress and found no poll there, and then
returned again to Coulter's, arriving there
before four o'clock, when they found ihe
polls closed, thus preventing twenty-four
demecratic votes from being polled. Con.
duct like this requires but to be published.
The following is the protest signed by only
a portion of those who lost their votes.
We, the undersigned, protest against this
election, because the poll has not been open-

From Nicaragua.
The following is extracted from a letter
from Mr. Tarbox, formerly a citizen of
Houston, now in Walker's employ.
ouxtdi, August, 1856.
"You may be surprised when you see
from whence this is dated. The climate of
Iowa waa too cold for a Southerner, there-
fore, on the 6th of April we started for this
country. After living in Council Bluffs one
yeai, I found it was no country for a Texan
Too proud to return to Texas as poor as
when we left it we came out here.

amply repaid by the Government. Ian.
Wagon-Master-General of the State and get
$130 a month and rations. A soldier geta
$35 a month and rations, and twenty- fire dol-
lars for clothes every six months. A cap-
tain gets $100, and all kinds of mechanics
are well paid.
All kinds of fruit can be grown here;
orange, lemon, pine apple, cocanut, co-
coa, vanilla bean, b\n ana*, plaintain, figs,
and in Costa Rica, the finest of peaches and
apples. The sugar here is far superior to
the Texas sugar. They raise also, rice, to-
baco, indigo, cotton and corn, of which last,
three crops a year are harvested.
Billy Walker is bound to succeed. He
has the confidence of the people and that is
all that is necessary.
There in a fine chance of staging here,
from Virgin Bay to San Juan del Sur, on
the Pacific coast, a distance of twelve milea,
all the California travel goes that waj now,
and from here to Leon, a distance of 100 mil
es, over the prettiest level country you ever
saw—though there is no communication now
on account of the war."
0*We are informed that oar friend T. S
Lubbock has received rthe commission of
cotton weigher of this city. This is an ex.
cellent oppointment,* and we are very certain
the appointee will fill the office to the satis
faction of the people.
We were requested a short time before we
went off on our late trip, to state that the
citizens of Florence, had by common con
sent burnt both those notorious books, which
have created so much strife and contention
among certain religious denominations, com
mouly known as " The Great Iron Wheel,"
and Brownlow's answer to the same.—
Georgetown Independent.
If we might be allowed to express an
opinion on these two books it would be that
they are both tooscurilous to merit the at-
tention of decent men. Their* authors have
forever disgraced their cloth, and proved
that their hearts are steeped in anything but
Christianity.
0*We would call attention to the adver-
tisment of Mr. Kyle to be found in another
part of to-day's paper. As this is a new en-
terprise much needed we hope onr citizens
will give it the necessary support to insure
its success. Mr. Kyle's long connection
with Adams A Co's express, enables him to
have a full knowledge of the business. As
this express connects at Galveston with oth-
er expresses, for all parts'of the United States
our people will be enabled to tend small
packages and goods of every dsscription to
their friends at a distance, with a perfect
security of their getting to destination with
out delay.

The meeting of the Commisioners of the
Houston Tap and Brazoria Rail Road com-
pany, appointed for last Saturday has been
deferred to Monday the 10th inst., to ac-
commodate those of the board whose resi-
dence is in Brazoria county, and who failed
to appear on the 1st. We cannot let slip the
opportunity of urging the importance of this
enterprise and the necessity to its sucess of
immediate action on the part of the commiss-
ioners.
Brazoria, Wharton and Matagorda coun-
ties probably contain more available sugar
lands than the same territory any where elsq
in the United Slates. They are capable at
a low estimate of producing, without taxing
their resources, not less than one hundred
and fifty thousand hogsheads of sugar per
annum. At present they produce less than
two thousand, because though these counties
are among the oldest in the State, they are
yet comparatively unsettled. Thousands
and tens of thousands of acres of the richest
lands the sun shines on are there yet cover-
ed with primeval forests. Land equal in
every particular to those there which have
borne the same crop for twenty-five succes-
sive years, with no appreciable falling off
in yield, may be bought for from five to ten
dollars per acre. These lands will produce
thrir hogshead of sugar to the acre,,
throughout that whole country. All in the
world that is wanting is that they should be
brought into market, by means of public
improvements, and of all the improvements
proposed none will benefit them so much as
the railroad under construction.
But Houston is, if anything more deeply
interested in this matter than Brazoria coun-
ty. It is, ar.l always has been the true pol
icy of oui people, to provide not alone for
the present, but for the future prosperity of
the city. They are fully awake to this poli-
cy. The enterprise they have exhibited in
railroad building, proves that the country
Will not lack for facilities for securing the
benefit of this market, while it is in their
power to afford them. But to the continu-
ance of this prosperity, it-is necessary to se-
cure here not only the interchange of pro-
ducts and supplies of middle Texas, with
the outside world, but moreover the trade of
different parts of this State with each other.
This State is not always to be what she is
now in point of population. Her rapid
growth for the past few years is an earnest
of her future, and men uow living will se_
when instead of hundreds cf

t3P We are tired of apologising, and
excusing our short comings. We say
no - once for all, just hold on till we get
things fixed, and then. we will try to
suit you. We have before' observed
that we have a new power press.—
When in addition to that we observe
that it has been put together by prin-
ters who never seen a press of the kind
before, and that we have not yet got a
man to run it who understands Jt, some
reason at least will be found for our bad
appearance. Our readers certainly can-
not feel worse about it than we do. The
thing is bound in the end to come right.
Meanwhile, dear reader possess your-
self with patience-.
t&- We are indebted to. the News
for the following Election returns of
Galveston :
In the first ward 153 votes were poll
ed, giving Buchauau a majority of 16
I11 the second ward 323 votes were
polled giving Buchanan 81 majority.
In the third ward 239 votes were polled
giving Bhcbauan 5 majority. This
makes the total vote of the three wards
108, the American party voting 300
and the Democrats 408. This we be
lieve is the largest vote ever polled in
Galveston.

the healthy pecuniary affairs of the es-
tablishment and as au evidence of the

bered by millions. Nor is this a distant
day.
When our State is well settled, and her
resources well developed, we shall find tha:
much of ihe provisions, <tc., now imported
into the Slate will give place to our owi;
productions. St. Louis flour is already giv-
ing way toDullas county. Cincinnati port
will be no more required, for we can rail*
better hogs and-at less cost here. We shall
want noLouisiana sugar .and molasst\s. -
We only want it uow. because we qau get it
from New OMeans cheaper fchau from Brazo-.
ria county. We shall uoteven nej:d to im-
port our refined sugars, for even uow on one
oft be largest plantations in Brazoria, sugir
is made which will compare well with the
best of the New York, rtfiiiers. In this,
lower Hrazoi aiid Colorado country,, .how-
ever, wheat cap not be wised, nor cau pork

What will be required will be for this coup-:
try to firurutsh eastern *ud middle Texas
with sugar, and receive flour and bacon ' in
return so far.a* they will ■ go. Houston Is
the place where thisand other the like ex-
change*4nus1.be made, and-this proposed
road is what is to secure it.
We are uot aware of the- consumption of
sugar in Texas, but are mistaken in 'our es-
timates if it dues not push close on to the-
product. If this is the case, with this road
in operation at least two-thirds of thearaouut
raised in Brazoria county would be sold
here. This alone would amount to a trade
of near half a n>iliiou -annually.
We do not suppose tllat the income of the
road were it completed to-day would pay the
stock holders a dividend: We presume
that the income from freights and pas-'
sengers would just about pay expenses and
thai . is all. But the stockholders must
look for their immediate profits to the in-
creased, value of their lands on the ene hand,
and thg increase as well as better security
of their trade on the other. We do nbt hes-
itate to declare our belie# that-this road,
when completed will be worth double its
cost either to Hoilston or to Brazoia county
alone. The large new field of trade opened
here, and the increased value of' lands thire,
will be the source of dividends. There
must no short sighted poltcy blind the peo'
pie lo the ultimate results sure to follow
proper action now.
Nor will this road in these respects be at all
peculiar. Theie are indeed comparatively
few roads in the United States that pay a
fair rate of interest on the capital invested.
Many, especially in New England, are not
Worth to-day, fifty cents on the dollar. Nev
retheless, whoever have lost in speculating in
iu Such roads, it has not been the farmer
along the line, who subscribed and paid his
five hundred or five thousand dollars, and
has siuce f uud the value of his property
in many instances increased two foid. ' Nor
has ii beeii the mere hant who helped alonj
the, enterprise for ihe sake of the trade i
would bring him, and who through that trade
has secured bis fortune. If speculators
have made or lost money, it is neither here
nor there. Just so with this road. Tho-.e
who are interested iu having it built need
uot hesitate to go into it. They will not lose
They must also rely upon themselves. It is
within their meaun, and they do not deserve
the road if unwilling to undertake it.
In making our estimate we leave out of
Consideration the fact claimed by the peopl
of Brazoria rn;y that cotton could be car
ried from here by the railroad and placed on
board ship* lying off the ' rizos bnr, at le-
cost thau it is now put on board vessels a
Galveston, and we ore bound to confess that
slrang'-r things have beeu done. We hU.i
• aveout of view the fact that by lie exten-
sion "I this road lo Wharton, ;^. ;her link
will be add- d lo the great chain of common
ication between the east and the a-i-st. and
by a route which once you get w *t of the
'Cotton Factory.
We are glad to be able to state, upon
reliable information, that this enter-
prise bids fair to succeed. Stock to
the amount of $3;>,000 has already
been subscribed by three of our most
"solid" and public spirited planters,
Mr. Wm. Crosby, Mr. C. S- Pegues
and Col. Hamilton Stone, who are de-
.termined at all hazzard to make the
experiment. From what we can learn,
our planters need not be surprised if by
the time of gathering their next crop
they find a ready market at home for
ali their cotton, und are thus sared the
immense expense of transporting it to
a distant mart. We look upon this as
the most important enterprise ever set
on foot in De Soto Parish, aud one.that
\vill lead to the most important results,
fhis is the way to fight the North,
and the proper course to pursue if we
would Secure our Southern indepen-
dence.—-rDvScto Collimbian.
\ From the "abbVfe it is .evident 'thai
spine of eur Louisiana neighbors are at
least s'ta^iiig' right. The people- of
Texas should follow the example. '"We
ought not to send our cotton to Massa-
chusetts, and buy it back six months
afte'-wards, at nobody kuows how many
heiidred per cent, 'advance, when we.
could just as well aud as profitably man
ufiicture it here. Many planter? com-
plUin that they do not make eight per
cent, on their capital invested. There
is a way by which they could, however,
make twice that, without risk We
send our 'cotton to Manchester and
Lowell, our sugar to the New York
refineries, our hides to the down-east
tanneries, and our children to Yankee
'.-(^lieges, and •> aire ever ready to find
fault with the North because it lives by
our fohy. We want home manufacto-
ries, and these we m'u<>t have, if we
.ever intend to be independent.
0p~ The cotton picking is now draw-
ing to a close, most planters will be
through by the middle of ihe • present
month. ^ They are going over it t!ie last
time now. In the up]>er pact of this
jcouh'y and in Wharton county we
iearivjtlykt in hardly any case has a full
crop bewtrmade, aud in many c-ises not
half a-crop.
Qur feugar planters seem to be at a
loss to know what to do with the little
cane they lisve got. Some are prophe-
sying that the fall will be a late and
warm one, and they, are determined to
let their caue stand for sometime longer
as it is growing finely. Others, unwill-
ing to risk the chance of an early frost
are determined to save what seed they
can. On many plantations the cane
now growing will no more than plaut
the same ground; in other cases it will
do .better, and on a few places par-
tial crops will be made.

We learned while in Belton last week,
that a man named Walker, a blacksmith,
had been hanged by a party who had arres-
ted him for the stealing of a negro. They
fouud him some hundred and fifty miles
from where they had taken him, and as he
was of much trouble to them, iu the way of
making him oome along ; lo save further
trouble, they hung him to a tree.—George-

The crop of winter apples, says the Bos
ton Traveller, will be very short this year
throughout the whole of ihe Uiiiled States,
and they will probably command a higher
price than for several years past. We have
iieaid of contracts for Baldwin apples in N.
Hampshire, to be delivered at the railroad
stations, at prices varying from.f i to per
barrel. The crop in New England i-* wry
uneven this year, more so thau we have ever
known before. While a few orchards pro
duce a good crop, many others, even iu tin
same neighborhood, are almost destitute ol
fruit. Those who are fortunate enough to
have a good crop will realize a large profit
this year. One orchard we have seen with
in a few days, has about 500 barrels ou the
trees, and this is probably nearly as many
as there'are iu all the other orchards in th

Bob Craiidcll's Swimming.
Bob Crandell visited England last sum
mer. While stopping in the metropolis hi
happened to drop into a coffeheuso, where a
lot of cockneys were speaking about th;
swimming powers of individuals. Ouegen
tleman snia his friend William could swim
fire miles in forty minutes. Another allow-
ed that Tibbelts could do more than this—
Tibbetts could do it in some forty-three min
utes und seven-eighths. Just here Bob
asked if he could offer a remark.
" Yes, certainly," said they.
This being decided, Bob opened—
" Your friend Tibbetts is some swimmer
gentlemen, but his performance would be
considered nothing in America. On the
Mississippi, men swim so fast that they go
ahead ana pilot steamboats."
" Nonsense."
"No nonsense at all. To show that I am
not joking in this matter, I am willing to
make abet with any person."
" What is it t"
"ThatI can outswim any man inEngland,
and give him an hour's start."
For what sum, sir ?"
Anything—from fifty pounds to a Cali
fornia gold mine."
J We'll take that bet, sir, and stake ahun
dred pounds thai you can't beat Mr. Mullins
and give him the start."
" v ery good ; I will take the bets, gents,
and here's twenty sovereigns to bind the
bargain."
When will the swim come off?"
Immediately."
That's preposterous—the day is too f ,r
spent."
' Day 1 Why my dear sir, I intend to
swim a whole week. In the United State-
it is considered nothing to swim that length
of time."
" Possible I"
" Yes, sir. Henry Slocomb, of New Or
leans, once swam from Charleston-to Cuba.
But this is wasting time. Let us at once
proceed to business."
" Where doyou wish to startfrom f"
'•Land's End."
" Why ihere ?
" I intend to swim round the Island, and
w:ent lots of sea room."
The idea of swimming round Great Britain
was something that cockneydo-u had never
before heard of.
"Such a pull would kill a 'orse," saiii
Mullins, but liob was used to such things
Miillins persisted, however, iu his refusal to
undertake anything so absurd, incon.-e
cjueuce ol which Muliins' friends had U
collie out with a forfeit in the shape of a
basket of champagne. During the reuiaind
er of Bob's stay iu England he was looked
upon as the " 'Mericau prodigy"—the man
wlio talked of swimming from London to No
vascolia.
