Value of Texas Landa.
The Comptroller has prepared a
list of the average value of lands per
mere, in the various counties of Texas
since 1849. There was a gradual in-
crease in value np to 1860-61. Dur-
ing the war, although the taxes were
payable in Confederate money, there
vas no increase; and the rate tor 1866
irae much below that of I860 in near-
ly, if not every county. The follow-
ing will serve as a sample of prices,
as well as show the effect produced
by onr political troubles. It embraces
but a few of the many counties of
our State:

This old, well established and efficient
Institution located at Independence,
Washington county, is again commended
to the attention of the public. Now in the
twentieth year ofits existence, it has beei,
for fifteen years under the management of
the same Principal. It has graduated ten
classes, and its Alumnia evince the breadth
of instruction, the depth of intellect and
moral culture, and the tone and character
of the institution.
For ability, for professional skill and
moral fitness for the discharge of their
duties, the Faculty is not surpassed by that
of any other similar institution. All are
professional teachers. The Principal has
au experience of twenty-five years in the
management of literary institutions and in
the instruction of youth.
Moderu languages are taught by native
instructors—Music by artists of the high-
est glade; and the various branches of a
solid and useful English education togeth-
er with the classics are under the direction
of teachers ofeminent skill and e xperienee.
Peculiar advantages are offered to young
ladies of energy and talent who wish to
buulify themselves fur teachers. A Diplo-
ma from this institution is a passport to
any position as an educator of youth.
The discipline is mild, practical and
efficient. The moral tone of the institu-
tion is pure and elevated; and while tenets
exclusively sectarian are conscienciously
avoided, the cardiual principles of evange-
lical Christianity are exhibited and in-
culcated upon all suitable occasions.
Two literary papers are sustained by the
pupils, which are submitted to the public
in semi-monthly readings. Exhibitions of
proficiency in vocal and instrumental
music are also made semi-monthly.
Gratuitous instruction is given to all the
pupils in the elements of vocal music, and
those desiring instruction in the higher
departments of vocalization, andiuali ihat
pertains to the mauageuient, development
and culture of the voice, will find here
advautages of the highest grade.
The location is celebrated for the health-
fulness and 1'or the beauty of the surround-
ing scenery. We add to our list of facili-
ties a Library, Apparatus, and accomoda-
tions for200 pupils. The number of youug
ladies in attendance last year was JcSO.—
Present Senior class, eleven.
Commencement, first full week in June.
Pupils received at any time, and charg-
ed to the end of the term.
Boarders are received into the family of
the Principal, their morals, intellectual
habits and their associations are the object
of constant supervision
Communications may be addressed to
the Priucipal, at Independence.

DAILY, SEMI-WEEKLY AND

THE NEW YORK NEWS has battled
«gainst despotism for four Tears of blood
and terror, in assertion of the sanctity of
the Constitution. A patriotism sufficient-
ly broad to embrace both sections -has
been its only guide, and it refers now with
honest pride to its record to show that it
has not turned to the right or the left un-
der all the violence of arbitrarv power.
True to its principles as TÍIE NEWS
has been through the reign of terror, it
challenges public confidence in its honesty
and independence for the future.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY AND
WEEKLY NEWS.
These two* Journals are made np with
special reference to the wants of country
subscribers, and contain such variety of
matter as to render them welcome to
every family in the land. In the matter
of Literature the choicest stories of the
best writers are spread forth in their
columns, and more excellent literary
matter is furnished in one issue than ean
be had in many jf the exclusively literary
journals of the day. The General News
is admirably selected and condensed, se
as to give all the current intelligence in aa
readable a form as it can be placed. It
comprises news from every part of the
country, and is always the latest; Tho
Commercial Intelligence is carefully pre-
pared, and includes reliable Market Re-
ports from all pi ints which are not ex-
celled by any journal of this country.

THE
TEXASJMAGAZINE.
A MONTHLY LITERARY PERIODICAL.
Devoted to tl¡e cause of Southern
Literature, tlie dissemination of use-
ful knowledge, aud the mural and wen
tal improvement of societv.
It will be published 'in tlie best
magazine style, suitable for binding,
and its contents will be woitb preserv-
ing.
Its columns will be filled with tho
choicest literature—-original and se-
lected—aud no effort will be spared
to render it a welcome visitor in
every family, and a periodical worthy
of public patronage generally.
An ample corps of writers of high
literary talent will contribute to its
columns, and the people, especially of
Texas, will ever find in it a true
friend.
The great want of such a publica-
tion in the South, particularly in
Texas, has been long and deeply felt
by every true friend oí society. That
necessity is felt to be more pressing
now than ever before, and the peoplo
of Texas will certainly not fail to
patronize their own magazine, and
thereby make a literature of their
men.
The Trias Magazine will be
published, according to engagements
already made, in the City of Hone-
ton ; which, for publication and mail
facilities is nnsnrpassed by any point
in the State. Tht> publication' will
commence as soon as a sufficient new*
ber of subscribers shall hare be e¡' ^
tained.
