we' would call
the attention of adver-

rapidly increasing in Austin county and
throughout the State, and that this paper
furnishes a good medium for making

should think. Holders of last year's
crop had better be selling out.

reared and putintf operation through-
out the State are we hope only the
pioneers to a still further enterprize
on the part ^f our people. We look
for the time, and it is not far distant,
when we shall prepare, spin and
weave our own wool, and pass cloth
into the tailor'b hand of as fine a
texture as any of our imported Yankee
or foreign goods; when we shall tan
and carry our hides into leather, and
so supply our machinery, besides
manufacturing our boots and shoes at
tome; when we shall see the tall
lights of the furnaces among the
clouds, smelting the iron ore that is
found in different parts of our State,
to supply our railroad projectors with
roil, and our agricultural and manfac-
machine shops with iron to
work; and when our jSoptbern people
recognise and appreciate the hidden
wealth that is lying around tbem.
What is to deter us from realizing
a consummation so much desired? We
can see nothing but the very question-
able policy of government that stands
in the path. We have everything
that a bounteous Maker could bestow
on u& at our door, and, depend upon
it, fortunes,will be realized in a few
years from articles considered now
almost worthless.
Let us all help to support and en-
courage home industry. By so doing
we shall as surely become rich. Man-
ufHctories will tend to give an impetus
to commerce ; a stability to our cities
and towns; and what is more, re
munerative employment for all classes
of people. By their aid we will be
able to chastise the New Englanc
States and teach them their folly
to our own opulence, more effectually
than all the;politic legislating of our
lerdars.
*"ely hoped in view of the general
fulness of the enterprise, the en-
cement in the value of property
jfo it, the home demand it makes
^>tton, and the wisdom of the
of encouraging such enterprises
ig us. will induce persons to in-
especially when it is bo eqpy to
j that the investment is one of
very best that can be made, being
^certainly remunerative and af-
-aing a larger permanent annual
¿jer centage than any ifnown in the
present unsettled and uncertain
dition of monetary affairs.

con-
3jraiai bjlls wwe given in the
«-«-«ttiw of
Tiie Concordia Manufacturing
Company,
HEMPSTEAD, austin COUNTY.
This company, inaugurated imme-
diately before the session of the last
Legislature, procured its charter from
that body, and proceeded upon the
objects of its organization. It has
proved to be no 'paper company got
up for speculation or humbug, but its
members have gone regularly forward
to carry out in letter and spirit the
objects contemplated by ll}e charter,
and are already advancing on the
road to pratical usefulness and pros-
perity, investing ireply and intelli-
gently their money in the enterprise
they have, in successful operation at
this time. Twelve looms, producing
daily 375 yards of superior cloth, and
employing at remunerative wages 30
or 40 operatives. They are also at
this time scattering over Texas a
duly supply of 150 pounds of spun
cotton, and having purchased a con-
tiguous block of lots are erecting com-
fortable cottages, offering practically
to the distressed widows and orphans
of our land comfortable houses and
useful enplcymept in place of suffer-
ing want and demoralizing idleness.
Their machinery and power fully
justify the employment of double the
•mount and number of looms now run-
ning, and. although the manufactory
is now paying handsomely, they wish
to increase the amount of manufac-
a
tured goods to something like a moiety
of the demand for it. Indeed to en-
large the manufactory instead of
holding it at what it is at, when its
usefulneaa and profit to the people
and stock-holders are so apparent On
this point the company invite the
Strictest aift'jsis of their books, al-
ways posted up in a form eas
comprehended by any one, and open
to any real friend to. the enterprise.
The present depressed CQnditioif
of the money market, and some con-
tingencies not embraced in their first
calculations of outlay, (for instance
several thousand dollars in cotton
which is and mnst be at *11 times in
process of manufacture.) have induced
the company to modify their terms
of subscription to stock, and at
late meeting of the company it was
resolved that subscriptions should be
received, payable one fourth down,
one fourth in three months, one fourth
in six months, and one fourth in nine
months; the price of a share being
one thousand dollars. This plan
places the means of acquiring stock
in the reach of many, and it is sin
" Tuso Years in Mexico ; or the
Emigrant's Friend," by John Henry
. irown.
We have received from the pub
ishers, the Galveston News Office,
a copy of the above work. It is a
neat pamphlet of 104 pages, of rather
smaller type than that used in this
article, and well got up in every way.
Tho author, John Henry Brown,
uses his full name to distinguish
lim from all the other Browns, such
as John Brown, David Paul Brown,
and Peter A. Brown.
This is one of the taiiest and most
impartial works of the kind we have
ever seen. Nothing is exaggerated ;
the facts as they actually exist are
Bet forA in plain and intellligible
language. The emigrant who reads
this book and goes there we feel that
we can assure him that he goes
with his eyea open." There does
not appear to be the least sign or
attempt at concealment of any of the
disadvantages as well as the difficul-
ties attendant upon the settlement of
a new country. We advise all who
think of emigrating from Texas to
buy and carefully read this book.
We have read the most of it, and we
must confess that we like Texas
better than the •' Tuxpan country.1
There are a few, and only a few,
typographical errors. We call the
attention of the publishers to one
flagrant error, though there are
others of minor importance, on page
55, calculated very mnch to misleat
the reader, as to what the author in-
tended to say. The difficulty is in the
11th and 12th lines, which should be
transposed. By reading the 10th an(
12th lines together, and the 11th ant
13th, all will come right.
We wish everybody could see this
book, We think he would know
more about Mexico and be better sat
isfled with Texas; but if go any one
must, let him go with his eyes open
about the " Tuxpan country."
Shooting fit MaximiMaB, Mira-
mon and Mqjia.
The tylveston News of the 2d
inst.j furnishes us with the staitling
and shocking news of the shooting of
" Maximilian, and his generals Mira-
mon and Mejia, on the 19th ult., des-
>ite the entreaties of the United
States government, the intercessions
of the foreign plenipotentiaries, and
the usages of war and humanity.
The same paper gives the account
of the escape of Márquez with a small
party, also the surrender of the City
of Mexico with forces.
We cannot do better than qnote
: rom the News for our ideas of this
" Abomination of the Nineteenth
century
We know very well how easy it is
for conquerors to forget their own
wrongs under the belief that they
have been greatly wronged; and how,
at such a time, they imagine venv
geance to be at once safety and
virtue. But. however widely the ex-
ecution of Maximilian may produce a
stunning and confounding effect, for
a time, there are few who will not
believe that there is in its final results
a retribution upon Mexico ; and that
whatever dangers might have arisen
from letting him go unscathed, still
greater must spring from the course
that has been taken.

Bellyille, June 20th, 1867.
t#' We have just received copy
of the Texas Vindicator* devoted to
the uncompromising advocacy of
suffrage for woman, to railways, and
goes in for. the whole " hog " of re-
construction by nominating Ulysses
S. Grant and Robert E. Lee (the lion
and the lamb?) for President and
Vice President, in 1858. The Vin-
dicator is about to amalmagate with
Greenville Gladiator, and print a
•' first class '* newspaper. The en-
terprising gentlemen of the above
journals set forth their qualifications
as follows:
Bhod will Tell.—Every tnae to
his bent.—We're going to print and
publish a paper in Paris very shortly
that will " beat the Jews in their
palmiest days." Our father was a
printer; our mother was the wife of
a printer; our sister was a poetess ;
our brother was a " devil" for an
unexpired term in a semi-occasionally
religious tract printing shop; so there-
fore, we say, blood will tell." Our
partner is á dyed-in-the-wool printer,
•' warranted not to cut in the eye, nor
shrink in the wash."
tir" We learn fiom the Houston
Journal that the worm has attacked
the cotton already in both Brazoria
and Fort Bend counties, and that un-
less their ravages cease very soon,
the crop will be destroyed.
Decoy-Duck. — Reverend Henry
Ward Beecher is evidently playing
decoy-duck for the devil. Sometime
ago he recommended lager beer as a
fine " religious beverage." More re-
cently he is out in favor of having a
fen-pin alley connected with every
parsonage. We shall expect hi in
very sooq to advocate race-tracks,
faro-tables and bawdy-houses as being
" valuable aidB to grace." These we
take it, are but th Aieta of the devil.
When the congregation is got that
far hold Beecher will have done his
part. Nothing remains but for the
Old Harry to take them by the napes
of their necks and drag them down
into hell.—Brenham Banner.
A Trip Btloic.—-We made a hasty
trip to Houston and Galveston last
week. We left Bellville on a Fiiday
morning and went by Stephenson's
ferry, crossing in a skiff the Brazos,
and walked from the river to Hemp
stead in the evening, it being one of
the hottest days we have experienced
this year. We accepted the proffer-
ed hospitalities of our friend, J. J.
Buchman, jr., and remained with him
over night. The ne$t morning we-
took the cars for Houston. The road
appeared to be in good condition,
and the conductor and officers affabl
and every way competent for the
discharge of their duties. At Houston
we took passage in one of he boats,
and arrived at Galveston Sunday
morning, so6n after sunrise. Weal-
ways stop at what we consider one
of the best hotels in Galveston, that
in our opinion is the Washington
Hotel. The Washington Hotel is
bard to beat, and "mine host
Thompson is a prince of a landlord
This hotel is right in the centre oJ'
the business portion of the city, am
the most convenient of any house for
those who have business on the
Strand. We remained in the city on
Monday, and Tuesday morning we
left on the Galveston railroad for
Houston, arriving at that place in due
season. Of course we put up at the
Metropolitan. This house-retains all
its former reputation as a first rate
comfortable and substan tial stopping
place. Though recently attempted
to be overshadowed in dimensions
yet in aii that comprises comfort
neatness and reai substance, travelers
will fiud the Metropolitan all that
could be desired. At least this is
our experience, and we advise others
to make similar trials.
During our absence we called at
the sanctums of our brethren of the
press in both cities, and found them
all agreeable, but "over head and
ears " in business. They will, sever-
ally, each and all, accept our thanks
for numerous favors.
We also met our friends and edi-
torial brethren, Lancaster of the
Hanger, one of the oldest and best
papers in the State; and friend
Rankin of the ♦ Inquirer. Rankin
says the Inquirer will appear again
in a short time, and we shall be glad
once more to behold the " light of
bis countenance " as in former times.
Wednesday evening we came up to
Hempstead; stopped at Mrs. Bayles'
hotel, and Thursday came home.
We were never a good hand in
writing a history of our travels, but
sometí ing seemed to be due to our
many friends whom we met during our
absence, and for the favors bestowed.

INDIAN CHIEF is a deep sorrel, with
a small star on his forehead, no oth sr
white ; fifteen and a half hands high; eight
years old; of large bone, heavy mu«cle.
and great stamina.
INDIAN CHIEF was sired by Levia-
than, jr.—dam, Mary Caldwell, the cele-
brated Quarter Mare of Kentucky; she by
the renowned Old Archy. He has des-
cended from a loug and unbroken line of
first class horses, a fact which will strike
the reader forcibly when he is reminded
that Indian Chief—the best son of his
sire or dam, was by Boston,the best son of
imported Dionea, the best son of Florizel.
one of the beat sons of the gieatest of
English Stallions.
