It Is probable that one

rery limited field for censorious criticism. Inthort
we look span this message as one of tbe bet wntlsn

our State. It will compare farorably with any we hare
seen from tbe other States of our Union.

The Cnirersity was in a critical situation. All Its opera-

Riitari JVVics --Tour last paper failed to reach this of
flee which has caused general disappointment as It la here
looked upon as tbe paper of the State. Everybody is en-
quiring Tbat has become of tbe uKews'f Injustice te
yuurtelves you should bare an agent here.
Thanks to Providence the yellow fever spared this
place. We have indeed had a few cases of billions ferer
but tbey were soon restored to health by our very able
army Surgeon. Dr. Tarver. Gen. Smith has not yat re-
turned from Laredo where be is at present.
MJ Chapman our efficient' Quartermaster returned
a few dars ago on leave from the General. Ipreeumebe
came for the purpose of making up his quarterly papers
Judging from tbe msny volamnlnoua documents he tends
to the Foatofflce tie will return lo Laredo to-morrow
from whence he til proceed to Eagle Pass and perhaps
higher up. The old General Is perfectly himself again
He Is certainly Indebted to this place for lbs restoration
of his health.

In this communication together with sach local matters
as your own judgmsit may suggest will fully occupy

Tbe subject of a railroad lo the Pacific ocean Is one
that is now engrossing every part of our widely apresd
Union. To none It lu location fraught with more Impor-
tant conaequences than to our own State and I therefore'
again briefly but most earnestly recommend It to yonr
eerloas consideration.
Tbe General Gorernment hss to far recognized Ibis
measure as one of national Importance and necessity as
to make an appropriation for the surrey of three distinct
routes with tbe visw of ascertaining that which la most
advantageous and practicable The survey of some
of Uiew routes hss not yel been completed. It Is
believed however that enough Is known derived from
tho Investigations thus far made to satisfy Ibe public
mind that a Southern route recommends Itself to general
fsvor by every consideration of nstlonal advantage. It Is
a matter or asrlous regret lhat tbo route feeding from the
MlaalutppI river througa Texas should not hare been
selected ss one of thoee 6 be surreyedand reported on
to the next Congress.
Tbe omission locauioa rcconnolsance to he made In a
more southern parallel has been construed by many as
baring its origin In the existence of an undue bias en-
tertained by the present Administration for a more nor-
thern route In this opinion I do not concur being sstls-
fled that when the time fir action arrives It will be found

The principal embarrassment thst the Indian Bureau
appear to bare felt In tbe conduct of her pollcywllh re-
gard to the Indians of Texas has been the want of some
suitable locality for them within the confines of tha State.
This matter was freely discussed In a recent conference
with Major 8. Neighbors ths United Slates Superintend-
ing Indian Agsnt for Texas ; and be strongly urged the
Importance of some steps on the part of this State
whereby sach an arrangement could be effected. Tbe
Executive coinciding with tha opinion ot the Agent
had In riew tha M Joint Resolution concerning Indian
boundaries" approved February lftth 1852 ta which
Ibe Legislature had made provision under certain re-
strictions to meet this exigency; bnt the Department
concelrlng this Resolution contemplated that the Gener-

accomplished much lhat could not otherwise have been
