I mnet a number (if lamrif lies coming in, when I was at Nacogdo chtes. It is astonishing to see the nutimber of travellers passing throughs the country. I have seen some lately from Illinois, Ala hsama,. Tetnesee and Mii-isbippi. who say there will be an exteosive emnicratzon from those States, particularly from Mis sissippi aid Alabana-gretter than hat ever before been known. From all ac counts, there are more persons failing in Mississippi, at this time, than there ever were before, and a number of them bring ing their negroes to Texas; some, 50 or 6U negroesor more. I have heard it asserted that improved land has been sold there as low a-s 5U cents per acre,which,three or four years ago.sold at from 15 to 20 dollars. Ote man came in lately, who had nearly-100 negroes. Ile left his cottou after working it once over. I understand some ofthe County officers have ressned rather than make the people sacrifice their property. I 1ihink I have seen nearly 20 men in the 1i st mon Ith who failed, and came into Texas. It would not astotnih me if a populat'on of 10,000 or 15,000 persons were to leave that Stile, and come to Texais. If so. it will only delay the pay. ment of their debts. as I aim sure they will be colle-ted very soon after suit is com mettced; oppeals will probably be taken. It is now rumored here. that 700 niet will be sent fromt Mexico to invade our Country in the Fall. I ama disposed to donbi it very much.

As th:e .loud peals would boom over this place, reared ihrough toil and pain, and ousing from slumber the many happy and industrious Ditizens, I could almost fancy the envied ree :ngs of this more than common man, a hose works of usefuliness are know% n to. us although, in person, he may be a stran cer. - Eighateen ycars, this day, have passed tince the foundation of Ianburg was laid aid ab a full grown clild,.these years have recutred a populous and extraordinary [own.

The Heirhts, taken in a direct hlie, will measure one quarter of a mile, -ut following 'he righiu neles which mark i out. the distance would be over a half isile, from each extremity, giving a beau iful view of Hamburg and 'Augusta. The ipacious and well planned walk on ili Heights is shaded ly the-ride of -Oina, tlanted some twenty feet apart.* Below is the !omantic and lovely gruve of natural woodland. designated by the founder of Hamburg as a Park,' well laid out % ith. nalks, and 6itted up' with'ecomnodation eats. giving to every ind-idual seeking pleasure and recreatiotI, all the comfort int could be expecied froto the steady taind of naore.

Dun every other ofthe trees atthe top of ibe H-eighis, was-placed a brilliaint lamp, with ihe exception) ol that part which directly apposes the bridge over the' Savannahb river, where each ol the trees had a lamp ittached, making about one hundred and Ily. That part of tihe ptark, imamediately .urrounding the spring, was likewise bril liatly illumtinated with a quantity of lights. rtere also were a anmber ofamoving lights an the ratmparts, somte rt'presenting tho seven stars, whilst others formed an imuita ton ofaseparaie stars.
