Ilf wouldn't act u.e bjt like a licro, and when he said ' good bye" at the gate; after spending the evening with me. lie would walk straight away through the Cald wJiisLling "Yankee Doodle," and nverjturn arid kiss his hand to mconee. ' , Tiien when I flirted just a little with a nice fellow to make my Charlie jsnd ous", he nevpr tahd one word, and I had expected he would vow vengeaecc on the nice fellow, and threaten to take prussi.e cid ' himself. 'No, there" was no romance in Char lie Marsh. He drank two cups of cof fee for breakfast, ate lots of pork )and beans for diur.e-r. and, poured1 down .three cups of tea for supper. His j-ijair Wi3 always parted on tho right side of his heed, a moustache r.ever graced ht lip. and his voice, instead of j being soft and low and sweet, was loud and -eoalf.-je.'Uke-fche sound of a l;ass vjal.

Editos : Having been requeet ed by many ot my- frienda of Wilson, before leaving to give them a deserip tiou ef this couatry, I will by your censeat. answer tham through vour widely read county journal. 1 There is such a great contrast be tween Testis and Norta Carolina. I will try to tell you what 1 know about Texas, this being my seventh j visit to the "Lone-Star State." The popula tion of Texas is variously estimated. Texas is made up of various national, ities of people, first in - numbers and wealth 'come the American. Jsext .in' population, but Lot in wealth, come the . Mcxicar.s. T Among', the poorer classes of whom there is great desti tutibn, and ranch friek'.u-ss. ;Nest in population come the Germans,! then the f risli. It b liH.rd In tcdl wu.it: race is next in population. Ut,'t Jew?,; Swedes, Frencli. Htdauders Hughs!!,: Scotch,. Chinese, Italhn3,: Indians, and last but not. least,- flie curly headed ; African, ali bave representation here. Since the frosts of winter are over aud the sunshine of spring beams gently upon the farmers, they are now in fine spirits in consequence of ti e .finej prospects of making an -excellent grap crop. As to the farming, lands, in Northern and South western Ttxas will state positively that in my opin ion,' no more fertile soil cau 'be found on the American Continent. It is pe culiarly adopted to th'e production of corn, cotton and grain ; ?dso to some extent1, the growth of ;S'ugar" cane. The soil in many sections is black alluvial quality, and is often, found to! extend from" three. to ten feet below tbesurface. After it has once been pulverized, after many heavy rains, it i3 ?s easily cultivated as ... a . garden. To 'break up" ne-.r prario land it re quires the uni'.ed siren th of four to eight yoke of oxen to draw one plow. Farmers never think of making; 1&SS thatji a bale of cotton to the acre, with good seasons. . -Many .-make more. The -average yield of corn to the acre is thirty to forty bushels. " It is left abobt as thick', in 'the drill as your farmers leave their cotton, j . Cu'ltiva ted entirely wiLii improved Cultivators. Farmers ban; never thin but their coni. The improved lauds rent from six to ten dollars per acre,! however the jesodus of the negroes iii certain sections, Soutll-Eastern, Texas, and the prospect' oi" its contir.uation did force the price of rents to tumble, but not; in Northern . cr South-Western Texas. ' i -' Texas is a splendid country for farming and stock raising, if a man bat money and a small regiment: of boys that arc well up in their teens. With out both, I would "'much rather risk making a support on the rock hills ot Nuslf with a short-tall and bumble headed harry-dick, and most especially if the emigrant bad any of the feminine gen T ler in his family. ie people here are kind and bo?pi- table i to the emigrant, provided he brings capital to fa vest,, and extend to hici ii warro aud cordial welcome. Jui1 righjt here, look out for land idiarks. There is not a -.nan in Texas luS that is authorized to sell land. ; The older residents here arc those wlio come j'ears long ago, who were very rich previous to the war, mad so by taiiii.g out cbim?, ana who now Thev are lithe principle l.md-ownc'r. .' however are void ot amtcc-atic hauteur vrljich too frenucutlv c-iiaraclcrizes the qubiidam wralthy men of the ' older Soii'iern Slates. j j ! t "'"''! 1, , . . i ,t , 1 theylarc at a low eh Dissipation holds high carnival with the j majority of the mile population.

Next was R. Silas Uarnes, better kubwn at home as Bob. liob at present is located at R!ieas mills, engaged in agricultural pursuits. He U doiag admirably well. Next in rotation was Ed. Thigen, located on Roan es Prairie. He lias cliarge of a large convict farm. After leaving Roanes Prarie I arrived at Hearne, and there' I met a gentleman well known to many in Wilson. It was Mr. Ben. Fitzgerald, he has many relatives in the. State, and is highly connected in Wilson. He. is railroad agent at Hearne. On leaving Hearne I set sails under fair wind for Gidding, there I met kn other of Wilson's boys, in the shape of John MelMde.. Me. is still following his profession, but oc casionally takes time in the dull sea son to hunt and fish. From Gidding. I made tracks for Austin the capitol of jhe great State pi Texas. Not feel nig satisfied with the outdook, I took an overdand ronte to San Autonia. distance 87 niile..- Notbing doing, however I concluded to remaiir'a few days as finances were few jand far be tween. ' ! ' ' San Antonia is situated' in a valley and is built upon both kUIcs of the San Antonia river. There is some eeven "Or eight well constructed bridges spanning the river, which is very crooked, and: a stranger, after travel ing over the city a while, has to count the number of-times he 'has crossed, to know which side he is on. 1 San An toniti is well supplied with water, hav ing not only tho river, and Su Pedro creek but also ditches Cut from the head of the river and creek, and run ning through all the principal streets. The streets are very narrow and crook- ed. Among the objects of interest V tnay be numbered the San Pedro Park And Springs situated at the herd of San Pedro creek, or.e and a half miles from the city, with street cars running from tho city hourly. Be Ion tho city on the river are tho old catholic man sions, built Jong ago. North of tho city on the hill is a government depot with a sygsud to.ver high abovp all surroundings. In the Western part of the city is the U. S. Arsenal, the grounds of which are very liandsonv;. Ou the Alamo Plaza stands the old A'a-r o building around which so ma-iy historic reeoMeciions cling. There is said to he still a "stain upon the floor where poor deekctt fell, surrounded by a monument erected with his own bauds, of Mexican dead. ; I learned in San -Antonia that the general health. C;f Mr. 1 C. J. EontreeJ had greatly improved, which hfjl vast number of friends' in Wil-jon will be glad to bear. .'' . San Autonia is generally-;. 'very., or derly, as much feo as any other city in the State, bat I. was som'e hat surpris ed to find that the Sunday .law' and 'Bcli Punch" were .observed only by tho-5e who chose to'. odjerve' them. Sftlpous, fruit stands, variety show, j ad every other place of business -and amusement kept open all day. Texas has a rigid Sunday law. The ring: ol 'the '-Bell Punch" i now like "angel visits," few and fsr between. Dancing, bbrse racing, cock fighting are favorite amuscmenls on Sunday's. My advice to those who anticipate coodng to Texas is : If yoa 'are 'com fortab'v located in old North Carolina, let well enough alone. Don't sacrdlce - - : 11 rocceas on uaceainccss, especy Mf ar men of families, for when I once here without means, ten chances j io if you evfcr get back. ,It is my tndld opiuion, there is no t worse place, just at present, on lhe S pr.n si'fi Ta-ae Crr t i-fmnrimn with a few dollars in p cket, and es i fascination and bad result heie. res. even more than that, but Iheo if you have cxie:icnccl the rough as well o- .
