Lek, Esq: In the language of Judge Longstreet, '*Wc have eiu' barked into a strange world." One in i which an individual slew his brother; another betrayed his God; and a third moved to Texas. Tho Just named is strange enough?"a stranger in a strange land," though buoyant with ! bright hopes for the future. On tho route, he hud an iosido view I !of New Orleans, the l'aris of Amcri-j jca, and was a little surprised to find i the theatre, museum, and circus?all : in full blast on the Sabbath. No bells wore heard to call tho wayward thousands to tho house of ciod?neither was any ono heard, even to speak of! church, or preaching. On Monday, many places of interest and curiosity were visited. Among tho number i was a Dollar Store, whero countless I thousands wero nassin?/ to jiihI fW?_ 1 o ~~ " ! stand in an<l out, with Uollur in hund, jsaj-ing ono to another, ''which you > think I better buy V" Like myself, the curious mass was j "just from tho country." Next day j we crossed the Father of Waters, and j and took tho Texas railroad?80 miles | ,}?to Uerwick's Jiay, whero a finel j steamer was waiting for the passen-j igcrs from New Orleans. Aeolus !reigned supremely, and without interuption, tho Josepliine moved smoothly ucross tbo Gulf to Galvestpn. There wo were deposited in a sandj hank ?right sido up with little care, jas we had the night before, felt no un* 'easiness above the centre of gravity. Tho railroad and steam-ship lino, aforesaid, belong to one Morgan, alias monopolizer and extorter, with whom it is said no ono can compete, but the future will tell a different story, and the thousands moving westward will pass for half the present fare. Let all thoso who movo this way, como by Alobilo and dircct to Galvoston, unless they havo plenty of money and wish to spend it. 3dr. Morgan can whistle, probably ifor five or s.x months, or always if he can compromise with contending par. ties. Huudrods swore, they prefer the routo by tho Red and Mississippi rivers on their roturn home. Ono individual said, he would go up tho Mississippi to Memphis, aud through Tennessee aud Virginia on bis way home, rather than hear of Morgan, or Mr. Bullock and bis road. Ono is forcibly romjnded of the crowded boxes on railroad, and the porfcctjamon docks of vessels during tho war, 'whero and when there was a total absonce of attention or politeness on tho part of officials. So much for tho hyenas. Wo passed by street car to the depot of Texas Central Iload?making no stay in Galveston, for fear of scoboi*rW,'f<toHng, tasting ot srao)l ing tne* atoreeMd. JU H^uwton we , changed cate, ,'sind t-fcpilHv moved S across ono Continued prairie to Cal- i vert, tho present terminus of tho ! road.

Tho place is improving rapidly. Hundreds of emigrants have come during the past two months and found homes in the city or county. The population is about 11,000, and of the number, one hundred and thirty-seven and a half are said to bo doctors; 1 and fifty* others, lawyers. Houses are generally small, in consequence of ; lumber, which cost:; from six to ten dollars per hundred feet. In this ! section, houses are mostly made ol I cotton wood lumber, which warps and 11shrinks, so that a camel could wall: iin. The planks arc ou end, like rail! road shanties. Valley lands will produce a b:ile ol j cotton per acre every year, as nothing i prevents its growth and maturity exjeept an occasional dry year. Filly ! hushels of corn per acre is an average 'yield; fifty of wheat, or sixty of hartley or rye, can he raised. Prairie 1 lands will produce more than half a.v much as the valley. ! It is said that only four hales ol I cotton were produced in this section j i 11 1S15S, and last year nearly foui hundred. Previously, the people paid more attention to raising stock.
