...TEXAS.
The white and colored people of
Louisiana held a meeting at New
Orleans on the evening of the 16th
inst., and on the basis of co-operation
and a new departure adopted a series
of resolutions to eflect a better gov-
ernment of the whole people. The
people dedicate themselves to the
unification of the people; and by the
people they mean all men, irrespec
tivc of race, color or religion, who-
arc willing to work for die pro purity
of Louisiana. Said people to enjoy
tile civil and political rights guaran-
teed by tlie constitution and laws of
the State of Louisiana and the con-
stitution of the United States, bv the
laws of honor, brotherhood and fail
dealing, and maintaining the right of
every citi/.e: frequent at will all
places of public resort, and to travel
at will on all vehicles of public con-
veyance, upon terms of perfect equal-
ity. Every moral influence is to he
exercised to bring about the removal
of the prejudices hererofore existing
against the colored people of Louisi-
ana, and the tenth resolution of this
wonderful document embodies the
following:
'I'llat in view of the numerical
equality between the white and col-
ored elements of our population we
shall advocate an equal distribution
of offices of trust and emolument in
our State, demanding, as the only

through Texas, for the past six weeks, in various portions; wild grapes,
and during that time he has visited | very large and delicious, are very
condition of our suffrage, honesty,
diligence and ability. And we ad-
vocate this, not because of the offices
themselves, but simply as another
earnest proof upon our part that the
union we desire is an equal union
ami not an illusive conjunction
brought about for the sole benefit of
one or the other of the parties to
that Union. Signed : G. T. Beaure-

This is a bold stroke towards civil,
political and social equality, but we
are inclined to think that darkness
predominated at this citizen’s meet-
ing. and this chirk element will find
white and black as antagonistic to
unification as oil and water.

twenty-seven different counties, trav-
elled over 2,000 * miles .by railroad,
steamboat and stage, and met as hos-
pitable a people as could fie found
anywhere, who are possessed of a
country that is destined to fie the em-
pire State of the untie 11.
Texas is so vast in her extent and
so varied in her resources, that a per-
son desiring a home that could not
he suited in some portions of the
State would he hard indeed to please.
The extent of the State is 274,365
abundant throughout the northern
and eastern part of the State, and the
cultivated grant" is being raised large-
ly throughout the land.
THE CI.IMATE.
You can go south within one-half
degree as far as the extreme southerly
limit of Florida, while the northern
boundary is on the same parallel as
the northern boundary of Tennessee.
A section of country so located
must necessarily comprise within its
limits every variety of soil and cli
and as the citizens now have the
right of self-government, many of
the scoundrels who have been steal-
ing and committing other depreda-
tions in the name of the Union wilt
flee the country or take up quarters
for a term of years in thepenitentiury.
Society equal to the best in the
country will he found throughout the
portions of the State that I have vis-
ited. Churches of the various de-
nominations abound. The public
school fund is ample tor all time, and
good colleges and private Schools are
in various localities.

It extends from twenty-four and a
half degrees to thirty-six and a half
degrees, and from ninety-three and a
half to one hundred and seven de-
grees of longitude, west from Green-
wich. Its greatest extent from north
to south is 1,000 miles, and about the
same from east to west.
TIIE STOCK REGION.
Although all of Texas is thought
to he devoted to stock-raising by
many of the people- of the -‘States,”
yet such is not the case, and there
are many parts of the State that are
entirely devoted to agriculture.
Nearly all the country west of
Nueces rivet and including the im-
mense counties of Presidio, Pecos
and El Paso, and also the territory
of Bexar, Young and the Pan-nancllc-
consolidation, which is usually called
the great stock-region ot the State,
and embraces about one-third of its
area. But little of the land is adap-
ted to agricultural pursuits. But
when we consider its value for stock-
raising, and the millions of acres of
productive land that the State has, it
is rather advantageous that one-third
of it should be such a superior stock-
raising country.
WHEAT.
The wheat-producing section is
composed of Dallas, Ellis, Tarrant,
Hopkins, Kauffman, Collin, Hunt.
Fannin, Bonham, Grayson Cook and
a few others, (before the war this
great cereal was their principal crop,
as they were led to believe that the
prevailing south winds would blow-
all their cotton away even though
they could raise it,) raise wheat equal
crops of the Northern and Middle
States, while many of the fruits of
the tropics arc produced in Texas.
The ordinary summer temperature
in the coast counties ranges from 90
to 95 degrees, and the extreme heat
is from 97 to 100 degrees. In win-
ter it varies from 40 to 65 degrees,
and occasionally falls to the freezing
point for a short time.
In the middle and upper part of
the State the heat is from five to ten
degrees greater. Snow and ice are
of a rare occurrence on the coast, but
occur every winter in the interior,
and ice was formed on Red river last
January *>f sufficient thickness lo
bear a man.
For salubrity of climate Western
Texas will compare with anv coun-
try in the world. Miasmatic dis-
eases are unknown. In fact, with
the exception of yellow fever, which
has not visited this State since 1867,
there has been no epidemic, and the
country is, as far as I can learn, as
healthy as any of the Western
States.
THE IRON INTERESTS.
I have frequimtly mentioned the
immense beds of iron ore in my let-
ters, and space will only permit a
brief reference to it now. There is
enough iron ore in Marion, Upshur,
Cass, Titus, Anderson and a few-
other counties in Eastern Texas to
supply the world. This ore has been
thoroughly tested, and there is no
doubt but that it is equal to any in
the country. Yet for lack of capital
nil the railroad iron, stoves and other
iron used within its borders, with the

railroad.
At the elose of the- war less than
200 miles of railroad was in opera-
tion. Now there are 1.200 miles,
and by the close of the year it will be
increased to at least 1,500 miles.
Had it not been for the unfor-
tunate difficulties between the State
authorities and the International rail-
way in relation to tlie issuance of its
bonds authorized by the Twelfth
Legislature to aid in its construction,
there would now have been several
hundred miles of road under con-
tract.
This is a very difficult country to
write about. There is so much of
interest that a person scarcely knows
where to begin, or when to quit. So
that if your correspondent has not
touched -on everything about this
great State that would lie of interest
to the general reader, in his series of
letters, it was from lack of space and
not material or disposition.

spirit of labor, enterprise and work
shown in building their country.
Since the palmy days of the cities of
the Northwest, w hen they sprang up
as if by magic, he had not seen such
times ns there were in Texas. While
they did not, yet if any of the Con-
gressional party had tried to talk pol-
itics to any of the citizens, they would
have been shut up by the remark :
“Sir, we are building railroads, not
politics.”
In a little town like Dallas, of 6,-
000 inhabitants, they found street rail-
roads and cotton mills, with the busi-
ness men of the city getting up a sub-
scription for another factory. At
Denison, on the line about 650 miles-
from St. Louis, was found a town of
4.000 inhabitants, where nine months
ago. tin- first of September last, not a
spade of ground had been turned. It
is true many of them live in tents, be-
cause they have not any house, but
they all work. They were the people
that pleased him. 'Every man is full

forests similating one of the points on

found in every portion of Eastern
Texas both of the long and short
straw varieties.
The valleys of the Nechas, Sabine,
Trinity, Angilina and other streams
from their mouths for many miles up
are heavily timbered w ith a heavy
growth of cypress. Cedar is also
found in large bodies.
Although Texas has always been
supplied with such immense forests,

Northern and International railroads
were open, penetrating as they do the
very heart ot the timber, it was of
but little use to hut few of the peo-
