THURSDAY AUG. 2, 1860.
hmvc been rim some beautiful
oounty map*, dravn tod photographed at
UwOemral land (NBm, at Austin. These
jaspa show the boundary ef every tract of
la&d patented is tie county, the position
of every stream or branch, the location and
plat of tfcetowtev&c. They are accurate-
ly drawn, from- the most recent surreys,
and then photograpn ed in the nsnal way,
and can be had at from, three to fire dollars
; They will, of course, be eagerly
sought* after by every one who has any uso
for a sorreetjeouity map, and their cheap-
neaa place* them witfiin the reach, of all.
We understand this plan has been adopted
by the chief 8Jerk, Mr. Elgin, to satisfy the
demand constantly being made for maps.
Elgin hasbaen so long in the Land Office,
and is so' attentive a clerk, that' he is but
another nam* for the Land Office- itself.
His name has been mentioned as the suc-
cessor of Col. White. We are very sure
there could he no better man found for the
position, and should Mr. White determine
to retire, we believe Elgin will be the first
name in the minds of an the people for the
office. -•*, •
|0 The loss of the steamer LaCrosse is
a set-back to tbe direct trade movement in
Houston, she having been advertised as the
pioneer of the line. The cause of the ex-
plosion is shrouded in mysteTy. She was
only carrying sixty pounds of steam at the
time, whiph was but little more than half
what she had often carried fefefore. She
had just passed through inspection at New
Orleans, having been entirely overhauled
The fate of her officers forbids any suppo-
sition of complicity on their part. The
fact that she was insured for but 40 per
cent, of her cost forbids the idea for a mo-
ment that her owners could have known
aught of it. Suspicion must Test some-
where—we cannot say where. The matter
will undergo a thorough investigation.
The Civilian thinks there is some foun-
dation foVthe reports of the inoendi> ries
in Northern Texas, but says it is evident
they are greatly exaggerated. It seema to
us that the people whose towns have been
burned down, and whose lives have been
conspired against, who have after a thor-
ough investigation Curetted out one of the
most damnable plots ever concocted in the
heart of man, to lay waste and destroy a
whole country, involving every orime inits
worst form knpwn to human and divine
law, that these people when wanting the
sympathies of their brethren in other «ec-
tions, and writing that perhaps they will
obliged to call for more material aid, and
when in every county nearl- in the State
aid is being offered to them, will hard y
thank tbe Civilian for its remark. "There
is doubtless some foundation for these re-
ports, but they are evidently-greatly exag-
gerated" indeed'!

The San 'Antonio - Herald learn a that
partial showers hare vi*ited some portions
of Western Texas.
The Herald- learns that a man named
Cohn shot and killed a man named Jones
on the Salado, week before last.
The Ledger has opened on a series of
articles on the subject of artificial rain.
Whether rain can be productd or made to
fall artificially is a question that men of
sdenee have written much about. We will
not commit ourself to either - side of the
question till we see all the Ledger's reas-
oning, which premises to be very interest-
ing.
The Ledger nya that Mr. T. T. Teel, an
enihusiastio democrat, of San Antonio, is
acting as sab elector for that district. He
win do good service for the cause.

A correspondent of the Gazette writing
from Orange, has the following, relative to
the Texas and New Orleans Railway com.
W:,
The Texas and New Orleans Railroad
has net yet readied this poipt, bnt the
work comes bravely forward. A large
amount of. grading has been done an along
the line of the road from the Nechee to with-
in a few miles of this place, and there is
still notwithstanding the hot weather about
one hundred hands at work grading. It is
impossible now to state precisely what time
the grade win be finished to this place, as
there is still some heavy grading to do in
the Nechea swamp. There is as yet only
about a mile and a ha'f of iron laid down
thia side of the Neehes. Still if there
should break ont no desolating sickness
among the hands, there is nothing to pre-
vent the completion of the r-ai from Hous-
ton to thia point early in December at the
furthest. Ifetween Liberty and Beanmont,
the secfian of tbe road 'ready completed
I notice a large number of bands at work,
leveling, ditehiag and raising the road.
And they are putting it in a splendid con-
dition, leveling it like a floor, and raising
it so that the heaviest floods of rain that
may ooaie, cannot affect it. Though the
road haa not yet reached this place, I notice
much of that spirit whiob railroads engen-
der already prevalent here. It manifest*
itself in greater activity, more enterprise,
and ins'rapid rise in real estate. When
the road is completed to thi< place, the im
mense lumber trade that will spr<ng up
between thia section and Wt-stera Te<as
will make this one of tbe most important
points along the line of tbe whole road,
understand from a gentleman just np from
Sabine Pass that the new passenger cars
for thia road, have arrived at Sabine Pass,
so you may soon expect to see them on the
road from Liberty to Beaumont.

Tbe following are among tbe recent acta

will approve of. The number of dead-let

letter writers generally will percieve tbe
utility of placing their printed n ames on

New Yobk. August 1.—-The cotton mar-
ket closed gen-mlly firm, with sales of 10,-

Galvebt« i?, August 4.—By the steam-
ship Texas we have details of the explosion
of the steamer Lacrosse. Tbe Lacrosse
left New Orleans on tbe 1st for 3abi e
Pass and Galveston. When opposite the
United States Barracks she burst ber boil-
ors, and is a complete wreck. She had no
cabia passengers, and only a few on deck.
Her cargo consisted of assorted merchan-
dise and produce. Capt. Brown, of the
towboat J. L. Day, reports the following:
The steam propeller Lacrosse, Capt. Da-
vis, which cleared for Sabine Pass and
Galveston, exploded at 10 o'clock this
morning, when opposite the U. S. barraoke.
The explosion made a complete ^reck of
the vessel. The Lacrdsse had on board at
the time 5C0 sacks corn, 400 bbls. flour,
380 do. potatoes, 5 bbls. lard, six keg?
butter, 140 bales bagging, 5 cotton gins
and sundries. The tug boat Union, and
numerous smaller crafts were around the
wreck when the H. L. Day passed her.
When the Lacrosse got down the river,
Qn the spot where she now lies, with her
bow out of the water, she was going at
a good speed, it being 10 o'clock, faroal-
fastrbeing announced. At the breal&st
table sat the Captain, his chief officer and
the chief engineer also a deaf and dumb
boy. The second engineer was in attend-
ance on the engines and had the pressure
to sixty pounds to the square inch. This
engineer cannot account for the explosion
in any way. The course of the destruc-
tion by the force of the steam was in four
directions, one obliquely forward the boil-
ers, which was under the cabin, a little
aft of it This went through the flooring
of the cabin, and must have carried the
persons at breakfast, into instant eternity.
The destruction is of a fearful appearance
around and about the wood work. The
second course of the explosion went ob-
liquely down and aft, some 12 feet front of
the rudder and in through the keeL The
third course was in a straight line through
the stern light, spattering all that part of
the vessel completely. The fourth took its
course partly up the smoke stack, which
was out in two from top to bottom.
The passengers were chiefly men for
working on the railroad and most miracu-
lously escaped. The following are the
killed and missing. Capt. R B. Davis,
Purser, Charles Williams, Fint Engineer,
Andrew Roqus. The carpenter, fireman,
cook, steward, deck hand, names unknown.
Missing, John Wenz, J as. Martin, passen-
gengers. The saved, first and second

various, but the chief ones G. L. Doleon &
Son, 71 Poydras street, who consigned the
India bagging, potatoes, flour &c., valued
at $6,500, on which there is no insurance.
The balance of the freight was also not
insured. Mr. Shaw has determined to sift
tbe matter, and has offered rewards for
such information as may lead to all satis-
factory light on the subject.
WEEKLY REVIEW.
^ne accounts from th* Interior sr.* no mnr.- -atl-Uai -
tory than last week, and the people are generally set-
tling down Into the belief that the cotton crop of Texas
will hi exc<;e.!I'.gly short thta rear—lew. Indeed, than
half a crop. The plant 1" maturing very early, and
ew otton Is arriving already In market. It i* thought
that no season can be enonch favorable to secure any
mprovement in present prospect*. With thia fact
patent, It becomes our people to practice retrench
meet, and to economize as far as possible.'
In the matter qf provisions we are still patOng large
sums weekly to New Orleans. The Import* from that
point last week were 1721 bbls. flour, 4173 sack* corn,
1075 sacks pats. 100 bbls. pork, and 320 bbls. whisky—
amounting to over $25,000—a drain of cash which is
becoming more and mo-e seriously felt, ami which will
cause a stringency all the fall, partlculary If the new
cott -n does not meet with a ready sale at good prices.
The writer of this has for years urged the planters to
raise more provisions and lew cotton—to plant more
as a regular business, and less as a speculation—to
make themselves more Independent, even if they
seemed to get rich less rapidly. Cotton planting by
Itself, if the planter expects to buy all his provisions
Is a good business only when good crops command
good prices; but, like the lottery, the lucky combina-
tion Is not at the command of the operator. A short
crop and low price renders It necpssary for the planter
to encroach upon his capital for the necessaries of life,
or go in debt, which Ls the same thing. Better by far
export a few thousand pounds less of cotton a year, and
have the country flooded with corn and consequent
independence, than to run the risk of what promises
to be the experience of the coming foil and winter, and
what Is, indeed, the experience of the present time.
That a country like the southern part of Texas, with
a population of—say on* hundred thousand, boasting
of being the richest agricultural country on the globe,
should, in the month of harvest, pay to outsiders
$25,000 a week for provisions, is not only ruinous; it is
disgraceful. May we not urge the planters to regard
these things in laying out their future crops, and se.
cure for themselves an abundance of corn for the fu
ture rears ?
x The railroad progress is slow, bnt promising. We
hear of extensive contracts on several roads being on
the tapis, and hope to be able to advise our readers of
the particulars shortly.
Improvements are active in Houston. Trade is good
for the season. The city is healthy.
Owing to total stagnation In the cotton market we
omit the usual article. Rccelpt-s of n *w cotton for

Tbe City or Losdos.—London is tbe
largest city in Christendom. It stands In
tbe broad talley of tha Themes, at ihe dis-
tance of rixty miles from the North or
German Sea, and is all of 12 miles long
from east to west, and 8 wide from sou'h
to north, and the population on that area
is all of three millions! It is spreading
out in all directions; and the annual in-
ereate is not much, if any, short of 60,000!
Before tbis century ends, unless some great
revolution occurs, London will have more
than fire million inhabitants. Tue coun-
try around is nearly level—fertile, and cul-
tivated like a garden. • Along every road,
to the distance of from six to ten miles
from St. Paul's Cathedral (which may be
called the centre of London) there is a
row of convenient and handsome houses,
which, when one has paseed the limits of
what may be called the city in a general
sense (not what the Londoners call "the
city" for that is a small part of London,)
hate fitaiilifr1 courts in front, surrpunded
by brick walls, and filled with flowers. No
city in the world is surrounded with such
a fine country, or so well cultivated, divi-
ded up by such charming avenues that are
filled with such pleasant residences as
London.

A Naw Way to Pay Old Dmts.
Haverhill man, who tiades in flour, grain,
&c., trusted a Hibernitu^neighbor with
two barrels of flour, soliAor cash price,
and to be paid in fire days at the outside.
Tha account ran along six months, and as
the flour was by that time consumed, the
debtor seemed to have lost his interest in
the matter. But not so with the creditor,
he still thought of it, and hatched up a
novel expedient to get his pay. The dere-
lict had no more property than what the
law would protect him in holding. He
had one hog only, bnt that was a very fine
one, weighing about 600 lbs. The creditor
bought a store pig out of a drove for two
dollars, and got a friend tp sell it to the
debtor at his own priee. The bargain was

If these are your symptoms, this Sarsaparilla Com

Complaints, if not soon cared for, assume a vital
form. People live in a course of luxury and ndul-
gence, aa^f they were not responsible for their own
lives. The change of seasons are neglected—their
colds arc neglected; the blood is neglected ; the
Diarthoea is neglected. Young Females are not
cared for as they are passing the delicate periods
of their lives. Look at the racks of constitutions,
the mere apologies for physical humanity upon
every side ; is there no remedy ?

^Messrs Barnes Ac Park,—Sir: Last summer I
waa afflicted with severe debility and loss of ap-

Letter from Judge Baylor,
Indkfknokhcs, June S3,1858.
Messrs. Barnxs^ Park—Gents: I feel il a duty
lowe to humanity,to say to you, that I have used
individually and in my famify, Dr. Guysott's Yel-
low Dock and S arsaparilla, and from the use of it
I find that it folly answers all purposes forwhich it
is intended. Lately I have been brought very near-
the grave from a diseased liver, and from the use
of this invaluable medicine I have be in most sig-
nally relieved An eminent physician, the other
day, remarked in my presence* that he considered
this medicine as the very best of all the modern
combinations. If this humble testimony of mine
will be of any use to you, you are at liberty to use
it in any way you may thiak proper.
Respectfully yours, &c.,
R E.V.BAYLOR.

Lyon's Magnetic Powders
Will destroy Garden Insects, Cockroaches, Bed-Bugs
Fleas, Antsjloths, and all pests of the vermin kind.
The importance of a reliable article of thia kind
is inestimable. In warm weather all nature teems
with these annoying foes. The powder is the only
article ever discovered which will exterminate them
A company of botanists, from the Horticultural
Society of Paris, while amidst the ferns of Asia
observed that all insects lighting upon a certain
kind of plant very soon dropped dead. This fact
was made use of to guard their night camps from
these intruders Quantities of the plant were
brought home by Mr. E. Lyon, and found a positive
insect destroyer in every experiment. It is simply
a powdered leaf, chemically prepared to resist the
effect of age and climate. Medals and Letters Pa-
tent have been obtained from the governments of
England, France, Germany and Russia, from the
Wold r Fur, and numerous medical and horticul-
tural colleges and societies.

dr eaton's infantile cordial
It must be obvious to every attentive person that
the first diseases of infants arise 0 hiefly from the
bowels, and in this connection we know of a me-
dicine which can be relied upon with perfect con-
fidence in all infantile complaints, whatever their
na ture may be. We speak of Dr. Eaton's Intan-
tils Corolal. It contains no opiate of any kind
—no paregoric, and relieves the sufferings of in-
fer ts as if by magic. Mothers! by all means try
this—even if all other remedies have failed. See
the advertisement in another column of Messrs.
Church fcDurorr,Druggists, New York, who are
£he sole proprietors and also sole agents of the
world-renowed *4Dr. Bronson's Blood Food,"
which is a preparation for the relief of all eon-
plaints arising from deficiencies of the blood^rom
whatever causes such deficiences may proceed.—
It is without exception the most strengthening
cordial any invalid could take, as it is immediately
absorbed by tbe blood without having to go through
tbe process of digestion; and as blood is the life
of the human body, by nourishing and producing
it, it soon restores to perfect health those even
who have been suffering for years. We consider
the above two Preparations decidedly the best of
their kind offered to the public.—Chronicle, Que-

These Mills regulate themselves, according, both to
the intensity ofthe wind and the fullness of the cistern.
In a storm they present the edge of the blades to the
wind, and consequently can never b* injured or blown
down. In a light breeze tbe blades are lair to the wind
and whatever the Intensity or the wind, the speed Is al-
ways the same; and whenever the cistern is filled to any
desired depth, the edges of the blades are also presented
to the breeze, and the Mill stops. Accordingly, when
once set up and put to running, it needs no attention,

Press.
The undersigned
haying * obtained
the Bight of this
Press for the State,
would submit it its
with many advan-
tages to the consid-
eration of the Plantersof Texas.
This Press is portable, weighing about
2,000 lbs., is very simple in its construction
and has the strength and capacity to pack
600 lbs. bales with ease. It occupies a
space of about 3 by 6 feet, and can be
placed under the Qin house, in the lint r#m
or outside the lint room as desired. It is
perfectly safe and will pack with six hands
from 30 to 60 bales per day, depending cn
the expertness of the hands in-tying the
robes. The power used is a lever on a
moveable fulcrum, which makes the power
progressive. As the resistance of the cotton
increases in the box, the power increases at
the same time, and makes the last turn of
the capstan easier than the first. The lever
is drawn up by a capstan and cable chain,
(no rope used about it) which runs it up at
five turns. One mule does the whole work.
We fully guarantee this press to do all
we say it will, if it does not, we will take it
away and refund the money.

Dr. Billing's Carminative Syrup.
IT Is an admitted fact that more lives are lost and
constitutions wrecked through the insidious action
of Diarrhcea than by any other other disease that af-
flicts man. Is there a person in this community who
has not suffered trom its debilitating eilects? Is there
a parent who has not sufiered an agony of mind when
grizin? on th helpless form of their child.reduced to a
skeleton by Cholera lufuiituiiiIs there a planter on
t he Trinity, Brai-os or Colorado who would not gladly
give half their estates to .have their negroes exempt
fromJCholera, Bloody Flux, and other diseases of the
Bowels, which annually depopulate their otherwise
prospering plantations ?
Planters, relief Is at hand. Merchants, Mechanics,
suffer no more. Parents fear not, the day of dread is
past. Billing's Carminative Syrup Is a certain cure.
Ten years of practice has proved It efficacy, physi-
cians of the older States, who have been Jus-tly cele-
brated for their successful treatment of diseases of the
Bowels use it, and invariably recommend it- Minis
ters of the Gospel are loud In its praise, and all sufler-
ers who have tried It proclaim to the world the merits
of this preparation. .
