Texas Correspondence.
FnoxxiF.u Texas, Jan. 17th 1S70.
\V. A. 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 town was built by merchants
and traders of overy kind, \
who live, move and have their being |
at tho terminus of tbo road. The
L? L Uli -1L-1L .LL1J
road will booi? bo completed nt llrcmoiul.
At that point, Waco, on tbo
llraxos, will bo connected with the
Central lload by tbo Tup lload. At
present thcro is a daily etngo from
Calvert to Waco?a distance of sixty
miles, llelnys enable tho passengers
to make tho trip in twenty-four
houi>*. All baggage weighed, and
seven and-adialf cents charged for all
over forty pounds. We reached
I Waco next morning at sunrise and
jwero soon dressed and prepared for a
(nice, warm and refreshing breakfast

by the Hrazos, but connected by si
.suspension bridge, which is a great
j convenience to persons in tho place.
.The bridge will hardly puv the cost
in a century, as the river can be lorded
at almost any time, even tweuty
mik's below, where axles of the stage
were only covered by tho water.
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. Yal
hy lands, improved, will command
from lifteen to twenty dollars pei
