Tbe bill proposed by Mr Palmer to aid railroad
ccmpa&ies by the loan of five or six thousand dol
lars per mile for every mtlebuiii (payment to be
withheld till niter the completion of fifty miles) Is
a very Important "measure. Oar own preference has
ofitn been txpnwed In favor of the Slate plsn but
we have alto repeatedly said that if that plan could
not bead pled under all the restrictions and hm'
italUn. reposed by the Governor we should then
advocsie tbe Corporate plan If It could be reduced
to mote system provided the State could be amply
protected aoaiofl Imposition from worthless corpo
rator whoe only object Is to speculate on onr pub-
lic Ian 1 ud ( f poeslblo. also on oor pnblle treasure.
Oarown t-xperience should be a wholesome lesson
tons and now the only question Is whether our leg
Islatora hare the wisdom to profit by it. Bat they
have alsj the experience of other States. Oar State
hai been I beral In her charters far beyond tbe ex
ample of any other fettle to those who have called
tbem-elns rtHmud companies but nine-tenths of
whom probably never had any moreJdea of build-
ing ra Iruail tban they had of going to the moon.
Tbelr sole object was to get charters with the largeit
land bounces they could extort from our credulous
legislature simply in order to make them a subject
of profitable traffic Well .ibey have now been
trading In thee charter till the time Is near el band
who pearly all of them are forfeited or soon will

Butler King commenced the Galveston and Red
River Railroad juit at tho beginning or a former
session by contracting with one of oar citizens lo
ran a line two or three miles from this city down the
Island and with another to foltow him by digging
op the ground This constituted the cutnmeneemeDl
of the great railroad extending from Calvesloa to
Red River. We believe some of our Cit zens were
afraid the smoke and fire of the locomotive would
endanger our city but it will now be admitted by all
that there Is not another railroad Id tbe Union that
has been anendedwiili so few accidents. But Mr.
Keith ssys his contract ts lo be sent to Austin That
Is of couise to convince our Legislators that It is
entirely dependent on tbe extension of tbe charter
and if therefore they do not extend It why tbey
will have to be held responsible for defeating tbe
Ilei dcreon and Bolivar Point Railroad This road
Is una of the u feeders of Galveston" as our San
An'onlo cotemporary would call It and we should
therefore be very sorry to sue It defeated. Other
roads will doubtless be dependent not only on the
extension of tbe sixteen section bill but also on the
loan of tbe mouey proposed by Mr. Palmer's bill to
be given them and If the Legislature does nut do
both the members will hare to answer to their con-
stituents for dereating nearly all the railroads In
Texas.
E7Tha San Antonio Texan Is down on Gov
Pease In the most unqualified terms and says that
he has not come up (in his message) to his public
professions made prior to his election in 1653."
Now we would be glad to know what Gov Pease
has eald fn his message which he had not Biidbefore
so falty as to placo ail bis opinions fairly in l-sue
before the public Tbe Texau says 'his message on
railroad matters i calculated for the meridian of
Galveston n How so? Why in speaking of the
probable difficulty cf getting any company to con-
struct the Pac fie road under the late law on account
of the great cost of getting the iron and material to a
point of commencement so far from navigation be
suggests bow that difficulty might be obviated as
follows :
' lt Is possible that a company may be
found who will undertake the con-traction of this
portion provided they are allowed lo construct a
road upon lha same terms from the bead ef perma
Den. navigation on me waters oi tome oi oor nays
up lo tbe line npon which it is proposed the Pacific
road shall run. and then east to tbe eastern line of
the Siate and west to tbe Colorado river."
Now very few would suspect that there was anything
la Ibis passage especially calculated for this merid
Ian of Galveston Bat tbe Governor uses tbe words
'east lo lb vslern line of tho felale and wet to the

upon this ground that Gov. Pease Is charged with

have their charters renewed which are not now actu-
ally at work or which have not expended conaider-
ab e money and can show their ability to complete

Texan aaya these sentiment show also tbe Gover-
nor's leaning towards Galvebton inasmuch as the
Galveston feeders1' namely tbe Houston Uarrlsburg
aod Galveston roads are the only ones lbat would be
entitled to relief on those conditions Tbe fault of
the Governor therefore is that be did not make the
conditions for relief easy enough to embrace the
Saa Antonio and Gulf road.
There aro some S3 or 40 other companies who will
probably complain of Governor Pease because tbe
conditions to entitle them to relief are such as they
have not complied with. But according to tbe Texan
tbe San Antonio company have done more tban the
Governor seems to give Ibcm credit for Toe editor

We make no opposition to tbe claims of tho Son

who may be In quest of a pleasant summer location
to peruse it; as tbe facilities for reaching there
when the Berwick's Bay route Is opened will afford
all our citizens an opportunity of doing bo without
incurring the expense or inconvenience accessary In

Next week tbe races will commence 'at heMo-

here and will most likely show on tbo four mile day
Never having seen him run I will try to be present
and furnish some account of the races. It is now so
msoy years since I have furnished proceedings of
turf events that I bave almost lost the hang of
them 1 well remember my first debut in nawspa
perdomon arriving in this country was reporting a
week's racing on the Metal rle track for which was
paid tbe first mouey I ever earned in the United
States. The1 Xewa" has generally overlooked items
of sporting intelligence which I have often thought
would be Interesting lo many of our readers I will'
therefore. In my next letter by way of variety give
a synopsis of the week's racing which can easily be
skipped over by those who ake no Interest in Bucb
sports. Racing meetings lovarlabty draw together a
number of tbe most tnfiaenlial men in the country
who are always liberal in their patronage on all
such occasions where they meet and ll bss often oc
curred to me that If a race-track was established
In Galveston and some good purses got up. It would
add much to tbe interests of oor city and attraet
visitors from many of the Southern States which
would help us along materially during the dull sea-
sons of the year. I bave occasionally spoken to
some of oar citizens on this subject all of whom
concurred with me that such meetings established
on tho right footing might conduce much to our
advantage; but uo one seemed willing to take the
matter In hand though we have several spots on
tbe Island admirably calculated for aoch a purpose.
I see the President's Message will not be Issued to
the press until It has been delivered. Tor several
years past we Save furnished It to our readers. Im
mediately on the arrival of tbe boat which brought
It over and we shall not fall to do so on this oc-
casion. Tbe Picayune this morning furnishes so
entire list of the members of both Houses of Con-
gress and In summing up gives the following re-
capitulation Senate 33 Democrats r 13 Whigs ; 10
Abolitionist among which I believe Houston is not
classed 2 Know Nothings aod 4 vacancies wTiich
expired on the lib of March last. House of Repre
sentatives 83 Democrats ; 77 Whigs 73 Enow Noth
lngsand one vacancy In addition to these there
are seven Territorial delegates who will vote only
oa matters pertaining to tbe Territories. It is
generally supposed the Whigs and Democrats will
volo together for speaker so there is little doubt a
Democratic speaker will be elected With our
State Legislature In session and Congress silting
we aball certainly have no lack or political news for
our readers.
The advices by the Atlantic bavo nearly brought
the cotton market to a stand and prices declined
during to-day f-ora " to cent on what was sold.
This news I received at a very late hour
D R
taTIhe SaLas Herald and some other papers com-
plain of the Governor's Message because he haa taken
occasion in it to express his preference for the State
Plan of Internal Improvements The Herald says
" When Gov Pease was brought forward by his Demo-
cratic friends as a candidate for Governor.itwas with
the express andentandlng that be yielded bis views on
that question to what was well understood to be the
overwhelmiaE sentiment of the people-" Well does not

feet readiness to forego what he honestly believes to be
the best system of ioprovemcnts.provided the Leslala
tare does not concur with I Im and sive his aid la carrar
injc out aoms other plan that may be agreed upon'
What more can bc asked of him? What more did he
promise? Surely he did not pledge himself to suppress
his real and aonest sentiments. In his communications
to the Lesulature on. that or any other subject He
would have Seen unworthy the suffrajres of a free peo-
ple bad he deprived himself by such a pledge of tbe
privitejee of explainine fully and fearlessly his views
upon all questions so deeply affecting the best interests
of the country Whether bis views on such Question

If it is a crime to be guilty of penning a few lines
on the day appointed by onr worthy Governor for
thanksgiving to tbe trustor and preserver of the
Universe for the blcss'cga enjoyed I must even
plead guilty and tbougha poor jusllflcat loo will add
that if I bave not found it convenient to altend the
exercises of Rev Mr Fontaine and tbe other good
Ministers of tbe goxpel Who are holding forth to tbe

North style tl eir Indian Summer It Is not my dis-
position to be disposed to recognize any special prov-
idence la the ela e of tbe weather no far as it eff els
political parties yet the exclamation Is oft'o heard
within the last few days that the Great American
Party should ellaor bave held Its Grand Demonstra
tion sooner or later Bolu before and since that
"ever memorable'' event the weather was fine but
on those two days t! o heavtua lowered and as G eo

Indicative of a 'Jonnh" on board; but after all the
attacks for other serious 'suits under which the
Old Hero of Saa JajlntobaJ suffered and left the
scenes where it was Intended lo oiler to him a gland
ovation with a strung condemnation from Ibe Legis-
lature it might be considered persecution to bold
him chargeable with tbe fault of the weather Ilia
other failings are as much aa should rest on one
bead and however remarkable the coincidence of an
extremely unfavorable state of the atmosphere it Is
as well to say It was ' accidental' for if Jonah did
not deliver tbe imo message to ibe people be haa
enough to answer for in that message without
being made accountable for the atorm let those
who desire It keep him and not throw him over-
board. I have little to add to my report of the Legislative
proceedings in my letter of yesterday. Important
matters are undefined or rather lo a shape on which
lha shrewdest cannot make any reliable calculation
I refer to tho public Debt Bill aud to the bill for
changing the probate law .o as to permit testators
to dispose of their property as tbey msy desire to a
greater extent tban one-fourth which tbe 'present
laws prohibit
I am informed that tbe Judiciary Committee has con
sldered favorably a law repealing the enactments fixing
legal rates of Interest It Indicate a that an additional
ray of light is beaming on the assembled wisdom of the
State when a proposition abandoning' this old relict of
feudalism should be growing In popular favor'f Yet it
Is singular that In tbe United States. whereViuchtened
Intelligence should lead us. In all kslatlvemaUers
ahead of the world we should not only havsMiTOwed
from England her usury laws bat retain them after she
has found It politic and necessary to abandon them and
if the repeal of thoselaws is noweffected it wouH follow
that the example of Eos-land from whom we copied has
been fallowed In their abrogation. We are behind the
age butltrtat-our Legislature is alive to the fact and
that the principles which should always govern trad
v& thai an artxle. be it gold or merchandize wil
be acknowledged as worth its value In the market be
other arguments on this question having In view the
suffering endured by abutting oat capital and the con
sequent burden thrown upon the borrower have been
reneated'so often that it would be superfluous in me to
reiterate them.
In reference to a correspondence from Austin in the
"News'' of the 20th some Injustice has been done Mr
Dancy He affirms that he did not promise to support
the Public Debt BUI Witha3 bis ability bulbfc dldaueat
daring the canvass that bs would vote against the Debt
BOI at the polls however if the voice of his censtltuentt
expressed different sentitxents. he weald la the Legis-
lature represent their wiH and give his reasons for so
doing on the Journals. J
Appropoa to Mr Dancy 1 send his speech on the Kan
aas-N ehraaka esolntlonf.in which he gives Gen. Hous
ton tbe benefit of a speech which is figurative and
striking. As an original document. It Is worth reading.
One passage in that speech refers to the unjustifiable
removal of the public archives from Austin under Gen.
Houston's orders.
In reference to that even tin past his torTJhave to note
that jt occurred on the 39th of December 1313. nTbe
company composed of 31 persons under Gen. Houston s
mandate took the State papers which loaded three
wagons and proceeded towards Washington. A com-
pany of 45 persons under Mr Thomas J Smith and Levi
Chandler proceeded In pursuit and after a parley the
Houston party concluded to give up the archives and
they were returned to Austin without a fight The ex
dtement In the West at the time was deep and had
nnt the Houston party snrrenderrd a few miles more oa
their journey would nave seen tnem attacked by a very
largo force for runners had been sent out in every pos-
sible direction to prevent the removal of the public

Both Houses met lo dsy yet but little business of
moment was transacted Id tbe Senate a resolution
was introduced to adjourn on theJJ of December
till Jane next audio the House a resolution lo ad
journ from the 15lb of January next was presented.
Both in the Senate and House these resolutions will
be strongly and effectually opposed.
A Bill to Increase the pay of jurors was up in tbe
House to-day and also a hill relative to usury laws.
But there was no dtfiuiio action on either when an
adjournment was carried.
In the Senate the bill proposing to raise troops for
the protection oi tbe frontier was postponed until
next week There was also a report from the com
mittee on Prlrale Land Claims which does not em
brace anything of very goceral Interest
la fact tbe business since my last bss been mea
gre and unimportant- A resolution la tbo House
to adjourn over until Monday (on account ot the
races I suppose) was defeated and so the Legis
lature stands
I went to the races to-day tbe great scene of attrac
tion where money Is exchanged as If It was as plenty
aa pectu nuts ; where Monte Faro aud sundry olber
games offer their Inducements to betters aod where
I believe tbe community lighten their pockets for
the benefit of gamblers
The "sporting" at the race track was but a small :
branch of the establishments in town where thou- ;
ssnds In several departments of tbe bar-rooms are
offered oa cards; and where tempting piles ot epeele
are reared on tables in front of the speculative
"bankere" who are always ready to begin the
game " It would surprise and astonish men from
quarters of tbe State where tbe laws against gaming
are enforced to see tbe boldness with which tbe pro-
hibitory acts of legislation a e violated These mat-
ters of gaming are nt t bid under a bushel but rather
placed In the mos prominent places to which cus-
tomers may be attracted At them you may Bee the
worthy Representative and the re verend Senator
together with more distinguished personages whom
I would not mention. Tbe open exlstenee of these
establishments is a disgrace to tbe city of Austin It
Is a blot on her municipal regulations lbat these

AcsTtit Dec 3 1855
As the business of the Legislature is of the most
trivial character nothing of any consequence bay-
ing transpired on Saturday I may as well give some
account of the races which have absorbed all atten-
tion for the last few davs
On Wednesday there was a race or two mile heats
open for all ages bat It was a very poor one and not
worth recording.
Oa the 27th the race wu mile beats free for all
ages and weigM accordingly Tbe entries were
Mr McKlnoey's brown mare Kate Ross 3 years old
sud Mr billy's sorrel mare Caddo Maid 7 years old.
Kate Rosa won both bests tbe first in 1 minute 54
seconds and tbe second In 1 minute 51 seconds
On tbe 30th mile heats. Entries two year olds-
Mr McKinney'd brown filly Mr. Bales' eorrel filly
and Mr Peases sorrel horse The first beat was
dune lo two minutes and the eorrel horse distanced.
Tbe second beat was done In I minute 58 seconds
but It was ruled by the judges that the sorrel filly
lost In consequence of foul riding her rider having
jostled against his opponent on tbe first turn of the
mile track
On tbe lit Inst (Saturday) the great race came
off It was four mile heats ; and a good deal of
money changed hands as the confident horse or
rather tbe favorite one came out second best. Tbe
entrees were Mr Bale's bay horse Dart and Mr
Wyall's sorrel horse Darby. The sorrel when un
covered looked so welt that many who had deter
mined to go against him changed their minds
Is a beautiful animal tbo prettiest that I have seen
walk tbe turf not excepting Lecompte or Lexington
Indeed I tbluk bs might safely be matched against
either and they are the acknowledged fatest nags in
toe country Darbyloit about twoseconda in start
lag he trailed Dirt around the track for three
miles with the rider bearing hard npon tbe reins
and In the last mile made an effort to distance Dart
which he cams near doing. Time for the four
miles 7 m. 43 sic. From tbo appearance of the
beat it seemed lbat Darbey could. If necessary have
come up to tho time of Lexington the fatest on
record 7 m. 19 sec It looked aa though be could
easily bave made tbe beat in SO seconds less time.
The aecond heat war. not run with tbe same object
viz to distance tbe bay horse asd consequently tbe
time was slower 5 ra. II sec
This matter of racing may seem trtviaL but yet It
proves a very important fact that Texas la not de-
ficient In horses that are little If any inferior to the
best In the world. Tbe time of Darby In the first
heat 7 m 43 sec could bave been beat by him so
easily had it beeu accessary lo a point that I should
not be surprised If kia fastest lime did not fall below
the fastest time for four mites on record The track
tt this place is bard and unyielding The nature of
the soil makes it as firm as a paved floor to the

Moscow Poix Cocttt Nov 201855.
EpitobsNiws As many of our readers' are In
terested in tbe various matters transpiring in dif
fcrent parts of the State it has occurred to me hav-
ing a few moments leisure to give you a few Items
In reference to our scenes and transactions here in
Moscow a name at least of extensive notoriety
On tho 22d last we bad a meeting for the purpose
of hearing a "talk" from the four Cash alia chiefs
of the uasnaiu trioo oi inuians. 1 neir interpreter
was Billy Blount of tbo Muscogee tribe Tbo sub
stance of their talk was this viz Under the coloni
zation laws of Mexico tbelr tribe rcceivsd two
leagues of land upon which they settled. After the
Texas revolution the same was conurmed to ibem
by the Congress of Texas. But la process of time.
the white people by land warrants or otherwise
laid claim 10 it and they are now homeless and
friendless and without tbe means of providing a
borne for themselves and tbctr children They do
not wish to emigrate beyond the limits of Texas. If
they bad a home here they wonld settle down aod
cultivate the soil. Tbey now ask Texas to grant
them a location of 1280 acres of land which la not
considered worth more tban two or three dollars per
acre. Tbey think this a moderate sum fur the two
leagues which tbey bave lost and which are now
valued at forty-five or fifty thousand dollars Their
tribe is scattered from Houston to Opolousas ia.
They wish to be united and settle together In Polk
county. Their whole number la now something less
than two hundred
Well I came to the conclusion that if their state-
ment was correct (aod Intelligent gentlemen wbo
know something of theirjhUtory believe it to be
tree) the twelve hundred and eighty acres which
tbey ask Is but a moderate compensation for tbelr
losses Their request will come before the present
Legislature.
Another subject in which we In this portion of
Polk county are Interested will be of Interest to
others A new temperance movement toohrlls rise
here abouVlour months ago It Is spreading its
principles with rapidity worthy of tbe noble cause
Tbe League of Temperance Truth and Friendship at
this point numbers about one hundred members
and tt Is said not exceeding one dorea voters within
ave miles of this place will oppose a prohibitory
Lquorjaw Indeed there Is already a petition for a
local charter by the Legislature embracing a cir-
cumference or five miles from Moscow eigne! by
four fifths of the citizens living within said limits.
This if successful will grestly enhance tbe prosper-
ity of this part cf the country and promote the cause
of education greatly Where Intemperance prevails
nothing else can prosper to any extent unless U be

Mr. Dancy proceeded )
Is that not a modification cf Ihe act lo which I
bave alluded ;
Sir Ibe gentleman baa himself condemned bla own
argumeot by confessing himself tn (avor of a bill
modifying the very act which he saya be is net willing
to aee disturbed
I contend air lbat tbe main object of this LegiS
lature should be to affirm lha principles without re-
gard to men. There Is da)jr on account of tbe
aggressions of the fanatica"of tbe North and it re-
quires tbe united actloo of tbo South to avert it
It la necessary that the South should be united
upon the principles contained In the Kansas Nebras-
ka act and fugitive slave law. And these are tbe
onlv auestione contained In the compromise mea
sures of any Importance to the general interests of
me sown
As baa been correctly remarked by the reoUeman
from Washington (Mr Tarver) there Is do nation
ality in lbs matter or tna oounaary diu it ta a mat-
ter which Interests only Texas and her creditors as
far as tbe reserved fire millions may be concerned
There Is another view of this question which I did
not take on yesterday. Tbeae Instructions would
Ereclude our Senators from voting for a bill prepoa-
ig to run our booodary due eat from the bead of
the main fork of Bed River to tbe Rio Grande pro-
posing the sale of our territory north of Red River
io the United States for Indian purposes upon con-
dition that all our Indians should be removed Into
that territory so as to give perfect protection to our
frontier
Is there a member upon this floor wbo would be
opposed to such a proposition? Ia there one who
would not be In favrr of giving ss a boundary from
Red River due West to ihe Bio Grande which would
put our Slate la much better shape than It now Is
aod at tho same time of making aa arrangement
with tbe United Statu by wibcb we should be
spared any further Indian difficulties and frontier
protection bills matters which bave gived as more
annoyance than all others put together
I am willing Mr. Chairman and 1 believe every
member upon this floor will be willing to unite In
sustaining tho principles of the Kansas Nebraska act
and the fugitive slave law and thus present one un-
divided front agalnt ihe fanaticiam of tbe North.
I waa pleased with the beautiful and eloquent
remark of the gentleman from Madison (Mr Kit-
troll ) I was pleased with the spirit msAliested Dr
that gentleman In a portion of hla speech. Ball
must confeet however tbat before be closed be
made a remark which I thought calculated to nro-
duce no good effect. He alluded to danger from
