TWX AS, ~ BRKNUAM, TEXAS, July 25,1870. MB. EDITOR :-Tou will no doubt be surprised when you receive this letter, but the sinoere desire I have to see all my friends prosperous and happy indu? ces me to send you this communica? tion. My theme will be Texas, as a promise land, for laborers of all classes, and es? pecially the farmer. Any one who knows anything of the vast resources and advantages of Texas will not deny that it ollera the means of affluence and wealth, with less labor, and more cer? tainly to the poor man, than any othei State in the Union. I will assert thal there are fresh and untouohed cot tot lands in Texas that would make a< muoh cotton as all the other cotton States lier thousands ef cattle, winter ant summer, keep fat without having foot or shelter provided for them. To the poor man who desires a com? petency for his family, without such io cessant toil, and the opportunity fo mental improvement for himself am family, I would say Texas is the couti try to briug about such desirable re? sult. Let any one contemplate the condi tion of thousands of emigrants, wh land annually, poverty-stricken, upo our shores, aud compare their conditio with that of those who preceded them t Texas, ten or fifteen years ago, wh were equally destitute. What a oon 'trust is presented I Such a oompariso amounts to a demonstration of the ad vantages of this State, and cannot fa to convince the most incredulous. Germans who have beon here ten o fifteen years (and landed without dollar in their pookets) are now lan owners to a considerable extent, with fair prospect of becoming wealthy in few years. The farmer can work every moat in the year, without interruption fro heat or cold. Lands should bo broke up thoroughly in January and Decet bor, February being considered thc tin to plant oom and many other seed Qom is srju'timca cut down by tl the frost, and sometimes has to be r planted. Cotton ii generally plant in Mar oh. Texas is subjeot to fower extrem of heat and cold than the Northc States, and a great many of the Sout ern States. We have a good bree from the Gulf all through the summi and I don't think you can Bud a mc healthy aud delightful climate upon t globo. The superior salubrity of o climate aud the mild and uniform tei perature does not superinduce disea as it doos in more Northern latitud It would be well to notice here'what t called Texas "northers." These get rally spring up alter warra and suit, weather, and the chango is so suddt the cold is more sensibly and disagrei bly felt. They are novcr unhcaltl being only unpleasant while they la (which is seldom longer than two three days. We have the sumo wit in South Carolina, ouly they come more suddenly and blow moic violen in Texas. Manures and fertilizers are not quired and not even thought of. So of tho lands have bren under cult; tion at least thirty or thirtyfivo yea and wc are assured by old farmers tl they have not shown tho least sign exhaustion, but produce as weil as first. The scarcity of timber for fenci and building purposes is ono reas why our farmers confine themselves bottom lands near water sources. I will not deny that there are ext sive regions of unproductive lands Texas. And how could it ba expect to bc otherwise in a country ombrac so many degrees of latitude and lon ludo. The seasons hero nra alni twice as long as those of tho North States, and crops genorally mat siput six weeks earlier. This gi great advantages in the markets. Mr. Editor, if a man does nut hov e oiufortublc home alter a lew years lu in. Texas, it in his own fault. Truly Yours, SAMUEL H. FRASER [COMMUNICATED.] THU POW BB OP ALCOHOL AFFECT TUB rai NU. This is undeniably great-but is it weal or for wo ? Now, the well ascertained effect alcohol, wheo taken in any consider quantity, is to stimulate the irs tell especially so far as the imaginative ideal powers arc eoncornod ; to def tho will, tho governing und control power ; to pervert and depress the m emotions, and to excite and iuten tho animal passions- and desires. Ja a" larger doso, th? intellect is ApioQft\j p!ritrie?y tX* wi? and th?; moral emotions ar? extinct, ?od th? an? imal passions and desire??re in the as? cendant. With ? larger dosa (till, the distorted remnant of the intellect may hardly ba recognised, while the animal passion? reign paramount, in unnatural excess. Tb? .?ril desire of Just or re? venge often remains, while the paralysed body refuses to minister io its gratifica? tion. A pitiablo ?pactado indeedl Verily, it ls no stretch of language to say that drunkenness placea man on ? lovel with the brute I The language falls short of truth. He digs beneath the deep a lower deep, and in this the brutified man wilfully lies down and wallows. Look over, lean over, that stile, where a pig lies wallowing in the mire-and a voioe faint and feeble, and far off, as if it came from some dim and remote world within your lost soul, will cry, that of the two beasts, that bristly one, a-grunt in sensual sleep, is aa a physical, moral and intellectual being, superior to you -dram drinker, drunkard, dotard and self doomed. Suoh are undeniably the effects of aleohol in considerable and large doses. Taken in smaller quantity, the effects are less marked, but have still the tame ten? dency. There is moral as well as men? tal loss : injury as to what the man ts, with serious peril to tohat he ought to be. Moreover, let it be remembered that the effect accumulates by frequent repeti? tion, and that no dose of Aloohol, how? ever small, can be taken without acting on the brain, and consequently on the mind, more or less. The ultimate result of such actings we have seen to be, in extreme cases, delirium, fatuity, insanity; mental dis? ease. In the more protracted and chronic cases, intellectual perversion, auimal ascendency, moral abasement; mentai degradation and decay. The habit of using any intoxicating liquor, tends to inflame all that is de? praved and earthly, and to extinguish all that is spiritual and holy. It is a poison to the soul, as really as to the body. It is a truth, that alcohol is "a mother of sins." A man begins fairly, and oontinues respectable for a time. At first his in? dulgences are only convivial, and within moderate bounds. Tboso bounds, how? ever, are by and by transgressed-once and again. And after no long time, it too frequently happens that the love of, and dependence on, the unnatural stimulus have become too strong to wait for the social opportunity and social restraint. The drink is taken for its own sake, and secretly. The power of the drag is gone ; and tho downward movement is precipitate. There is a difference between convivial intemper? ance, and that solitary sotti^hncss which waits neither for company nor invitation. But thc one we arc afraid commonly ends in the other ; and this lust is the basest degradation to which the faculties and dignity of human nature can be reduced. "Look not then on thc wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it ino vc th itself aright At tho last, it biteth liken serpent and stingeth like au adder." T. - It is an error to suppose that tho air near the floor contains moro carbonic acid than air near the ceiling. Owing to the law of the diffusion of the gases, tho reverse is generally the case; if it were otherwise, every cradle would be a tomb. GREAT FAIR South Carolina Institute, NOVEMBER 1st, 1870.
