the greatest of nil—the most vilhiatiie,
the most extended, mid the most readily
convertible into the uses of life is the
rich black soil; though the iron is siijmtU

80 we have a land out of which unti-
ring industry does not exhaust itself
lor compensatingreturns; l>u^a land in
which the leatl iwhutrioua may live easily,
though plainly: but in'' wliich nnllinchhig
industry is cerium to grow rich by necu
initiating its bails.
A nd of id) this laud, and it has immense
areas of fertility, pleasant to tho eye, ge-
nial in climate, and rich beyond question,
no other rortiou in, all in all,c<]uul toNorth-
em Texan, anil 110 portion ot Northern
Texas is luorg desirable than Ifed River
County. We doubt if any county is quite
as lnuchso, although without 11 particle of
local prejudice, and with an ultimate ac«
quaiutance witt uciuiy all of it, we shall
any. without bias, that tho excellencies ot
naverui counties, of Northern Texas are so
nearly equal, that it would be uujnst to
.any that any ono of eight counties that
'•we coidd define, i«_naluntil v much better
than theptbers. . • . ~.
The advantages of lied River, as we
conclave, consist in longer settlement; in
narrower pruiricsj in more timber, and
as a consequence, mine ruins in summer;
in ^lie iii<v«iu iiuii. ol' |iitui tiuitx r und . mi
inerous mills; iu the state oi'aoehty, long
er systematized, and a popuhitioriv less
inovoijble, giveng more -the chit ridtcfe ot
an old Btiite. My this wo would not con-
vey tlic idea of turbulence, or disagreea-
ble iKipulationelsewhere; but mei'eh the.
dilferenee that any traveller Ium )>< rcei vi-
ed between a country settled thirty-llvo
to forty years, and a country newly set-
tled, in which people and customs are
liurdly homogeneous. Not in any way
depreciating the pre-eminentfertility, or
the orderly character of our people in
all Northern Texas, generally good, we
Bay tliat to the inan gf means and culture,
ll«ll Itiver County offers ii desirable home,
cheap lumls, and some facilities not to be
found to the srnie extent iu other coun-
ties ; while to the poor and industrious, it
offers lands as cltcup as in the counties
west, with great Variety of soil 5 great cer-
tainty that good farming will bring crops,
facility lor * improvements in bitildiiigs
and fencing not found to tiie same extent
west; better navigation for four or five
months iu the year, and 11 certainty of a
Railroad to take off crops and Jmng re-
turn supplies if desired, which Railroad
will be at ('larksvilnB^' the first of Sep-
tember of next year, without fail.
'Jiiesc are .advantages to bo apprecia-
ted. Wc can speak Couimcudatorily, a!
mest boastfully, of tho rich lands arid
beaptiful prairies of liunmr,ftuinin, Hunt,
Grayson, Collin, Dallas, Cooke ami •Tohn-
son, and yet- we think that for present res-
idence at least, if not for immanent, oiu-
Connty luis advantages over all.
This is our opinion, and the most of our
landed interest lies elsewhere.
However, we say to the people of the
oldstates who may lie thinking of immi-
gration to a laud rich, and desirable, in
which one may purchase a principality
for what he could sell a little farm for
wnere ho is, that all Northern Texas, or
all Smith-western Texas, is a better laud
than he ever taw elsewhere, without
regard to the diffisrence in temporary val-
uation by dollars, nnd lie caunot err,
unless rich enough nud in all respects
pleased, if he sells out and comes to Tex-
as. If a man has all the comforts of life
around hiin, plcasaiitussoeiutions, health,
and a contented mind, he should never
break up his home associations to go any-
where! *
Salt Lake, October 21*—The ver-
dict in tbe Hawkins case, charged
with ahiltery.was guilty. The pen-
alty is three to twenty venrs impris-
onment. This is eonsnlrmJ a tct T
case, and virtually places the pol^ga-
tuist at the mercy of the first wift

One of the most prominent radical or-
gans of the State is the Houston Uniou,
owned by the State printers, in Chicli
then* has been au effort to concentrate
tiie talent of some apostate Confederates.
It is a sort of whale among tho radical
press, and reminds one continually of its
pretensions, by au immense umouut of
blowing and sauting..
Before the. election, it was jubilant over
tho anticipated result, and evidently
thought that by continued threats of Uui*
ted States troops, and the martial pow-
ers of (jovetnor Davis, it could fright-
en the l>eopk' of Texas oat o an asser-
tion of their rights. It. seems, too, that
one <if its editors, the one who, ns we sajj
jios'* front the «<tyle, does the chief |tari of
tin- bully ry^gin^', Ii:i vtiijr IkwVii h ttolonel
of Texas tvoops, .1 have kno'Vi: bet-
ter, lint if not tlieu, he does now, al-
though it nciU'ly takes av u; his buVutli to
it b.i , ayd Jiff short
of its atajditude. ■ *
H'-foic the clwtion he wal:
" Iliere are three or tout comities in the
west that will give the republican ticket:
over cine tliotcnnd whitn votejieucli, and
in t he-titate thejif ttrr t counties that
will >ri\c ouv ii. i.el at !• :im live thousund
wtiitf votes ( uli. On an average through-
dot t lie Stiito tin; \. iiite republican \ olt
will I hi at least two huiidretl to the coun-
ty. There are one hundred and twenty
counties in the State. *
Where are those t wenty counties! The
returns do not indicate any <me such.
Onr Corrcwpondent from Chambers coun-
ty''speaks in the most hopeful and eoitfl-
(lent iiwnncr alsiut the election of the
Hon. G. W. Whitmore. As the lower
counties of the'PWriet will poll 11 heavy
republican vote this time, v.e count 011 n*| .
minority for Whfttiiiore of at least four Our Mississippi
thousand. Clark's majority will be five
thoiisiuid, and 1 Wegener's at least, four
thousand, and probably it may rcuch Six
ihoiisiiiid. *
Probably this estimate of his admirer at
Houston may have been of great comfort
to Whittmoro during the canvass, but lie
failed to find similar admirers iu his dis-
trict, and the Titot'SAMDH are 011 the oth-
er side, So of (lark and DCgencr. We
confess to having had some fears of Deg-
eucr's election until just Itcfore the poll-
