Starting late, and flndinp his fat mules
fagged by tho heat and (he unusual draft
upon them, we camped at the old Ringo
place, on the hill North of^ulphur, and
pussed tho night only fcolwnbly, baring a
vfeitation by niosqifltocs. The, next iinu u-
•ing -after, a hastily prepared breakfast
.started 5 o'clock to pursue our journey
found that tho hack which started before
us, with throe gentlemen ami a hi^y, had
out-traveled us several .miles, .regardless
of heat and horseflesh. Arrived at f-'ut-
phur* Springs about -1 V. M., had some
slight repairs made to our,hack, .called on
£ho editor of the (la/,cite, and saw Gen.
Muxey,, delegate from Laftmr, and P. M.
llendeison, delegate from Ilopktns, wlio
were to start next morning. Could not
persuiide our brother of I lie Gazette, who
was a delegate, to go. Drove on to the
Fcrrill farm,,four miles from town, and
camped in a very pleasant looking coun-
try. The road thcucn to near tho cross'
ing of thoTrinity, at Porters JilniT", passes
over a beautiful undulating prafHe conn-
Iry, interspersed with occasional creeks,
and narrow bottoms of timber, on which
all crops looked thrifty, and nearly all
well advanced and clean,. ^"Wcro sur-
prised to And the grass so excellent on all
tlmroute, having been- told at the- begin-
, ning of the \wpv, that the range was (near-
ly eaten out. Jhit crai4 was really luxu-
riant and cat'tle all looked fat and happy.
Small llocks of sheep looked well; but
there has evidently been a serious diminu-
tion of sheep husbandry since ISOU, in
Hopkins. Crossed Nat the Cowlcneh fork
of Hit/bine,'near Bellcis p. D.,a-little our.
of the usual line of travel, and found ev-
erywhere a pleasant succession of small
farms, with good crops, is*oar the Sabine
found cistern Water much used, but the
cisterns mostly small, excavated it tho
earth. Crossed main Sabine at Demi ill's
bridge, which is formed ot heavy timbers
laid across the bottom of tlio bed, length.
\rise, And the covering timbers weighted
dowu by heavy rocks, so that iu a rise the
water may pass through and over, but
' cannot disturb the bridge, For such oc-
casions ot overflow, there is a flat ready,
moored near tho bridge.
.(.Iir route lay through Cedar Grove<nwl
Kaufman, both pleasant looking and
thrifty towns; Kaufman especially so.
Tlio District Court was in session at Kauf-
man, and we learned, that the Judge had
ordVred an adjournment until the Thurs-
day following, Jo permit thcr members of
the liar to attend tho Convention. We
learned that they \vcro going, 30 strong,
and as wo proceeded saw the two road
wagons proceeding the delegation -wMth
to
enable the delegation to camp out inde-
pendently of hotel*. There was evidently
a sound political liberal feeling pervading
Knufmau.
Tho town of Kaufman is delightfully
situated on tho edge of'a prairie, com-
manding a ptengnnt view of perhaps four
or fivo utiles. Many ot the residences
give evidence of taste, and are nearly ull
pleasantly surrounded by ample grounds,
uiifl gardens, and some small orchards.
Wo ill ink the place must become quite at-
tractive soon, for il is expected that the
Southern Pacillo will come there, and at
or .near there the Missouri, Kansas & Tex.,
expects to branch,* sending a line west oi-
ly to Laredo, while the main Mine passes
down to Bolivar Point, oppositcGnlvcston.

The true country editor understands that
his piiper thrives by being inteuwly local:
that it is nut by-fanned editorials on turUV
and income tax, but by articles iu favor of the
new'railroad, by descriptions Of the,new fac-
tory, by advocacy of tho new bridge, that lie
must siit coed. People look into Ida columns
not only for the latest general news, but for n
mention «>f every interesting fact, of every
curious matter oi gossip,, in bis county.' Aud
thus tho paper becomes the reflector of the
current events and tho public sentiment of
his settiou. Nothing is too email to be item-
ized il only it is of interest. A country paper
advertised the other day that ho would insert

job.ed the church iu the county in a recent re-
vival. Which sho.vved that he understood his
