ed in Kansas City Mo., some (10) years '
ago, with, the great laud pirate, J. It.
Hani, foiiis leader. Aware of the unset-
...if r- " i c- - -- . i
tied state of affairs, both social and irov
ernuiental, which existed in this St ate at
that time, wheif our State and iumniciiial i
goyerninents were undergoing the trying
"":; " uiiuiarv 1 uie, wiui ine tuiaiuoiis
ana piratical t,. J. Davis at the head of
affairs, this cotupany knew that here they
won Id be sucefssfu I in ' thel r4 nefarious
work, "and, no dortbt, having the hearty
co-operation of tlieJ de facto g(vernmenr,
during the short period of ten years forg
ed titles, to 1, 000,000 acres of the best
lands in the State,; owned priiiciiially by
non-resideuts, and orphan heirs, haviug
no one to guard their interests!
But soon a new and brighter era flashed
upon us. The Republicans, Davi and
his regime, were at leugth driven from
the capitol by Ithe votes of the true yeo
men of Texas, whose" fidelity to the cjiuso
of freedom has'hecu so ften tried, and as
often proved true and steadfast. Demo
crats were then placed in office, with Coko
for Ooverner and Hnbberd for Lieut. Gov
ernor. And before three years had elaps
ed this whole fniudleut scheme was un
veiled by' vigilant Democratic officials.
Ham and a great number of his confeder
ates have been tried, convicted and iu
c ircerateTI as they defierved. j
Our State owns an immense quantity of
iinlocated lands. When she entered the
Union it was agreed I that she should re
tain title to her; public lauds, I hence the
general government has no control over
them. We have a verv: liWral homestead
law, under which the head-of a family
mav neon ire title to IfiO neies of ltid hv
years residence, and single men 80 acres.
9ur siciety here, suffice-it to say, is as
goml an in any other State! The laws are
fearlessly administered by efficient and
aute omeers. unr cities ana towns are
well built, and i have the adrautages of
educatiiuial and religions teachinrs, with
officers to pr:tec't their citizens in their
legal llgjits. X . . t-

unprovoked and slanderous assaults that
have been "made on Texas by n number of
foreign newspapers, aird disclosing the
motives thatjmnnpted them in so doing.
1u a recent pablication of the Chicago
li'iouie weu lid; tins ; passage concerning
Texas: "Society is. sucb tltere, aud the
law so loosely and administered, that a
wise northern niau vill keep away from
Texas. !
We find again in nn editorial onTexns
a similar passage 111 a late issue ot the Inter-Ocean.
Another noted specimen of the
new spaper enemies of Texas, is the St.
Louis (Jlobe Democrat. It Mjems to lie a
labor nf love Avitii that paper to malign
Texas. Every crime committed in t he
State thai it can sift a iu account of it ex
aggerate and rolls as Irsweet. uioirjiI un
der its venemons tongue. Although it
has heretofore -received a gtiod patrtmage
in this State, aiwl has gotten liberally of
our trade, yet its chidest di light seems to
be to flaunt its glaring head-lines of foul
accuat ions ami its membicious tnoathiiigs
of blander against our people iu their ve
ry taces- We bave uoticetl ther papers
equally as liujiut a 'these, and while they
are generally republican iu politic, and
of the bitter partisau kind, yet we should
regreat that political considerations,
because Texas gives largo Democratic
majoiities, actuates them. These wil
ful and malicious enemies of Texas
can have their poison neutralized by
showing to the! public their motive in
so doing, which ;is, that they are retained
by Kansas and Nebraska emigration com
panies, which can Ikj proved by competent-testimony
to the satisfactiou of any
candid mind.

Great Storm at Asplnwall.
Villages arid HouKe'g Overflowed, and Tco
: pie Heduced to Want:
;New York, December 8. Further
particulars of the great storm and flood
at Aspinwall state that about thirtr miles.
of the Pauama Railroad had been sub-
merged, aud that the freshet was the
most destructive that had been . known
there for years. At Yatun. seven miles
out. where thn
UIHV Qiutxvg lilts
Chagres river, sixtv-one houses have
been washed away and the neonte are re-
ported destitute and suffering' from huu"-
er. In short, all the native villj.m.a nn1
liver farms have beep inundated, live
stock of alt descriptions drowned, aud
the poor inhabitants left to starve. As
soon as the news of their sad condition
reached Aspinwall, a subscription was
raised and several boat loads of uupplies
sent out. But the report coines-back that
the relief, though timely, was inadequate
J and that to prevent starvation further
immediate help was necessary. Under
date of November 29, it is stated that
portions of the railroad are still under
the water. Reports of serious damase to
the Barbacoea irou bridge, across the
1 Chagres river, are full v coufii med. Tu n
piers are undermined, and the'bridge has
settled six feet and is in danger of full in e
into the river. The wash at Mindi it will
j require several days to repair, and it is
tliouirbt it will be fully thirtr days before
trains will again be run. The English
J mails and passengers, which arrived on
I the 34th ult., are still at Aspinwall, as
beeu made for seuding the mails forward
and passengers must get on as best they
J can, or abide where they are. All is con
fusion and uncertainty.
