ar-
tne new States of our Union are fill
ing up more rapidly, with an indus-
trious, enterprising - and desirable
population than our sister State, Tex-
as. The great body of emigrants to
that State are pretty well provided
with this World's goods, and, unlike
. the bulk of those which are f
up the North-western States, p
ed to begin life again on thefruitfiil
soil of the 'Lone Star' State with all
the advantages of long experience in
agricultural pursuits. The emigra-
tion to TexaB the present season ap*
pears to be larger than in any pre-
vious year, and the emigrants are of
a class the most'valuable in build-
ing up a wealthy State. Every
steamship leaving New Orleans for
Galveston, is crowded with passen-
gers either going to settle at once or
to see the country aud select a loca-
tion for their future home. The day
is not far distant when Texas will
be one of the wealthiest, as it is one
of the most productive and healthy
States in the Union.
The Christian Era counts up sev-
enty-five ministers who have recei-
ved doctorates during the current
solar revolution, and yet it reckons
the number of disappointed expect-
ants much greater.
Texas Catti.T* "Trade.—A Mr.
Wheat recently reached Chicago
with a large drove of cattle from
Texas. The Journal says:
Mr. Wheat thinks that the Texas
cattle trade is one of the most profi-
table now carried on. He purchas-
ed 50® head in Texas at an average
of $12 50 per head, and sold them at
Chicago in August to a packer at an
average of $36 per head. He start-
ed with the drove in April and reach-
ed Chicago in October. He had
only seven men with him and lost
but eight cr nine head. He grazed
the cattle all along the route, the
grass being nearly a foot high. He
passed through the Choctaw coun-
try, and was treated kindly by the
Indians. He and his men camped
out every night during the journey.
News.
The end of the Post office robbery
at Chicago has been finally reached.
Brayman, who, up to this time, had
borne a fair reputation, is now the
inmate of the penitentiary at Alton;
and Asay and Campbell, who con
spired to get rid of the principal wit
ness in the case of Brayman, by
sending him out of the State, have
both been found guilty, and will be
subject to the penalties of the law—
fine and imprisonment.
It is stated that active prepara-
tions are being made with the view
of having the Atlantic submarine
cable next summer, the month of
June having been selected as the
most favorable for the work. The
company have ordered the manufac-
ture of four hundred additional
miles, which will be ready for ship-
ment, if necessary, in January, with
the understanding that if they should
not succeed in their attempt to re-
cover three hundred and forty miles
now submerged, they are to have as
much additional cable made in twen-
ty-eight days as may be considered
necessary to supply the defiency.
Absent Minded.—A man in Low-
oil. in attempting to hang himself,
forgot to put the rope around his
ncck, and jumped off the bar, fell into
a mud hole. He did not discover
the mistake until he went to kick.
A man thinking he was at home,
one evening lately, lay down on the
common and put his boots outside
the gate to be blacked in the morn-
lng¡ Another person, after getting
home one rainy night, put his um-
brella in the bed and le aned up in
the corner himself.
The citizens of Houston have ex-
{ended by voluntary contribution,
1,365 in enclosing and planting
trees in the Court-house square—an
improvement as creditable to their
good taste aB to their liberality.
The farmers on the Rio Grande are
said to be making a second crop of
corn far exceeding the first, and that
a large surplus for other markets will
probably be afforded.
The grass-hoppers are still in our
midst doing their work of destruc-
tion. The gardens, turnip patches,
¿etc., begin to present a naked ap-
pearance, and in a few days we sup.
pose there will be nothing in the
tohape of vegetables. Whilst the
flopping devils however, are rejoic-
ng over theif bountiful harvest, it
íb consoling to know that the hogs,
chickens, tnrkeys, etc, are having
real holiday feasts out of them.—
This is all very well, but who the
duce wants to eat flesh or fowl which
is only grass-hoppers in another
form?—Gonzales Eiuri
mouth of an alley, threw i
gy means of a'syringe in
Powell, as he
ers
inquirer.
Some of the New York merchants
have informed Secretary Cobb that
ting at the
threw chlorofoim
into the face
bo w&s walk-
ing past. A portion of the fluid en-
tared his throat, and be fell down in
a state of partial insensibility. He
was conscious, however, of the rob-
ber stepping over him, taking his
watch, cutting out his pocket, and
making^ off with tho plunder, the
money in tho pocket, amounting to
$463. "For nearly two days, Mr.
Powell suffered the effects of the
chloroform, and could not speak
above a whisper.
