Texas from the Atlantic mid Mississippi to the Pacific the commerce
of the world and will necessarily promptly lead to various connections
by railroads with our Gulf coast which it will bn seen by their letter
already published at Gonzales arc considered indispensable by Messrs.
Walker and King and as we understand by all their ass-ociaies.
Wc learn that Messrs. Walker and King fame here bringing with
them the deposit required by Inw partly in gold and partly in good
par Btocki as requited by the law But to avoid all objections even
from tho most captious they will be ready to change their stocks into
specie so as to make the whole deposit in gold and silver.
We nro pleased to see among the Texaus associated with Messrs.
Walker and King so many eminent patriotic and some of them most
wealthy citizens.' Among the number is Mr. Maverick of San Auto-
nio Texas who is believed to bo the largest landholder iu the world
and by far the wealthiest citizen of Texas and uo less distinguished
for his patriotism and high character and integrity than for his large
means. Such a man could build the first fifty miles of the road him-
self; and such names as that of Mr. Maverick and his associates will
inspire universal confidence in Texas. We learn that several millions
of the stock will be offered to the people generally of Texas to be
taken on the same terms ns the original subscribers.

' wasin fact tho only valid and legal bid before the Governor and was
accepted ; tho Governor requiring tho route of the road to bo located

j subscriptions of- the assessment paying stockholders iu the old corn-
-pariy. '' It may be here proper to siato what services have been reii'
.tiered 'by Messrs. Walker and King aud those heretofore associated in
. good faith with them : tat They have a very numerous list of pay-
V.ng8ubscriber8; 2d They have caused a complete instrumental anr
.JfX-of tho route to be nmde ot great labor and expense through
jTexae to tho Pacific by unable and competent corps of engineers and
on the islnnd show that the slavo trade is going on swimmingly notwithstnnd
ing all the decrees agninst it. At last accounts the British sloon ofwnr. E.
peiglo had discovered a vessel called the Grey Eagle in Bahia Honda and
ascertained that she had just landed 1230 Bozal Africans. Tho British com-"
mnnder was refused tho yosel and it was claimed by tho Spanish governor
who no doubt Was one of the party interested. Thegoner.il tendency of things
is to tho creation of public sentiment in our country favorable to tho indepen-
dence of Cuba. Mr. Redfield ono of the loading men in the democratic party
of Now York is out in a letter for Cuba on the ground that it will give the peo-
ple cheaper sugar. Though this position may bo a fallacy still it i-hows tho
prevailing disposition to sco Cuba wrested from tho government of Spain.
Tho Washington Union semi-official as it sometimes is indicates veiy clearly
tho feasibility of aiding Cuba in the following manner; : No democrat" says
the Union ''would deny tho right of a citizen to bear arms and to leave his
own country to engage in the service of another or denounce this as either piracy
or mUidor." If this is good doctrine Judge Campbell's whole charge falls to
the ground and the course of General Quitman stands approved. We doubt
not tho sentiments of the editor of tho Union are with General Quitman and
wo shall bo pleased to see them expressed. The day ofCuban independence
is at hand andjt has our hearty wishes for its entire success. Tosas can send
a thousand armed emigrants to "Cuba at oixty days warning and they would
form ono of the most invulnerable regiments that ever served in battle. Wo
have our eyes on many bravo men that will givo immortality to futuro battle

Increase of Mubdeu. We are pained to record this week so many instances
of outrage and murder. It seems that the amount ofcrime of this character is
frightfully on the increase and week after week we aie called on lo chronicle
Jresh cases wllh all ihe appalling circumstances that attend the taking of life.
It is time for vigorous effort on the part of temperance men lo do their share to
wards Ihe suppression ofMhis growing evil. Life must be estimated more highly
than heretofore. If we can only withdraw some uf the influences tending to
destroy health and inflame unnaturally the passions we will make a step in ad-
vance.and prepare ihe way for the influx by immigration of the better class
of citizens of other Stales. One of the most baneful of these influences is the
public drinking of liquor; and it is to the redress of this evil thai every good
citizen musi ntw and always hereafter address himself and seek its final
extirpation Vote against the license on Monday next.
Want op Railroads. The great inconveniences to which a la rge portion of
the population are subject from the want of railroads is well illustrated ia a fact
that mel our eye the other day in the Central Ttxian. Teamsiers are now
hauling from the steam mills near Andersoa Grimes county lo Bellon in
Bell county a distance of about 130 miles. But ihis is by no means a rare oc-
currence. The mills at Bastrop have furnished much of the lumber used in San
Antonio and a large amount ol lumber is constantly carried by wagons from ihe
coast to San Antonio a distance of about 165 mils. Two hundred miles of
land travel by wagons is not un frequent in the shipment ol ourctton crops to
the coast. No wonder ihat a system of railroads should be popular ia Texas.
It is our only reliance. Col. Mitchell of Alio Rusk county who is sawing a
large amount of lumber &ays that this lumber has been carried lo Waco and
sold at $-15 per thousand. With a railroad he would agree to deliver the same
lumber at Waco for $15 per thousand.
The Galveston and Henderson Railroad is suspended nt present wo beliovo
in consequence) of warm weather it being impossible fur hands to work at
prcsont more than seven or eight hours per day. On tho first of this month
according to tho terms of tho loan negotiated in England by Col. Lacey an
instalment of $100000 wns to have boon paid in Now York nnd this amount
continued each month until tho whole sum of three million of dollars should bo
paid to the company in consideration of tho transfer of tho company's bonds
assistants. This is a most important service to Texas and indeed for lmt nnount Should the tmount como to hand it may bo probable that
the people of Houston will see the railroad at that place by next July as for-
merly intimated. Wo understand that tho contractors for laying tho rails from
Virginia Point across the bay to Galveston will commence the work this fall
und will most likely either construct a djke or lay the rail upon an iron framo
work. Tho company nre said to have sufficient means to construct the road
to Houston without tailing back upon tho English loan. Much of Virginia
Point is a low wet prairioand owing to heavy rains the past season the woik
has been ery seriously retarded.
Drivikq Catt(.bti California. Many ol our citizens have engaged in this
business and last wiek we gave Ihe condition of some of them now on the
roau lo El Paso. By a letter from Major Michael Erskine we see that much
loss has ensued to mast of ihe droves. He says that hundreds of dead cattle are
scattered along the road. The annoyance from Indians has been serious. So
far Maj. Erkine has been more fortunate than any of he drivers linvhi" lo?t
but few. We do not doubt ih.it ("riving by night and having an experienced
Captain was at the bottom of his good fortune. This is a business thai no one
should undertake who i not an old frontiersman. We know of several in-
stances where at manus hajf of ihe drove dinve been lost or stolen for want

New Mexico. Governor Morriwethe'r is endeavouring to protect the New
Mexican frontier. At last accounts several battles had been fought with suc-
cess upon the part ofthe troops. Threo chiefs of tho Jaearilla tribe have been
slaughtered. Major Cfirletoti made a foray upon the Ratau mountain Indians
nnd captured everything they' had. In the vicinity of Fort Fillmore Lieut.
Ransom came up with a party of Indians and retook from them 3.000 head of
sheep. The Indians however are still committing depredations. It is in-
tended by tha citizens to give Jihem uo quarter hereafter.
Texas Orphan Asylum This very benevolent and laudable institution
still continues to receive the attention of tho chaiitable. We are pleased to
notice that tho Indies ofrTravis. Austin county have lately contributed to tho
Intitution ov.er foyjj hundred and sixty two dollars. Tho Asylum is perma-
nently located at 'Iftafts. We know or no philanthropy worthy of more gene-
ral aid than tho cn"Use ofthe unfortunate orphan. Thu Asylum will save nnny
a youth from lasting degredation; und by excellent training elevate not a few
to tho highest rank of merit in society. The good that is to he effected will re-
pay a thousand fold all the outlay that may bo incurred in building up and sus
taining this institution
Colorado. It is with pleasure we see a desire manifested to improve tho
navigation of this stream by individual effort and we commend the example
to the citizens of La Grange who have we learn set about forming a joint-
stock company to build a stenrnboat fortlio Colorado. Congiess in its plenary
powers would act much more justly imappropriating money for tho improve-
ment of navigation at the raft of this river than in hundreds of other instances
at the North where millions of dollars have been irrecoverably squandered.
Fruit. We have received good sumples Of the peach fig pear and applo
now growing in Mr. Raven's orchard near Austin. They are cortainly tho
best evidence that choice fruit may be successfully raised in Western Texas.
We are glad to learn that muny of our farmers and planters intend setting out
orchards this fall
Gonzales Tho value of slave property in this county is nearly .000000
The total valuation ofall tho property in the county for 1854 is put down by tlw-
assessor at over $2303000. In this county there are now sold annually ovei
$100000 of merchandize. The value of tho horses and cattle amounts to S343
000. Gonzales is rapidly increasing in wealth and promises.to become on.
amongst the firt of Western counties.
