Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger J
Linden, Texas, Jane 27th, 1871.
Should one individual, recently arrived in
Texas from Georgia, or other Sonthem States,
attempt to answer in detail all letters of inqui
ry received, bo wonid soon need tho services of
il'riciUt hecre'.ary; and as the writer does not
wish to employ each assistance, and at the same
nine is willing to give all information in his
lower in relation to Toxas matters generally,
he asks the privilege of becoming “Texas cor
respondent" for one issne, of the most central,
and perhsps largest circulated paper in Geor-
,na, for the purpose of communicating with his
numerous Georgia friends, and all others inter
red in Tex»s items.
To *11 who contemplate emigrating West, a
description of Texas, as to climate, soil, politi
cal standing, society, schools and ebarohes,
railroads in operation and projected, internal
improvements of all kinds, population, and its
proportion of black to white labor, stock-rais
ing, etc., and t he route to be taken, is, in a pe
culiar manner, interesting. Therefore, I take
np the aliove subjects, in the order in whioh
they are named, and briefly remark upon them
—quoting from the “Texas Almanac and Emi
grant's Guide,” (a valuable book of informa
tion, although called “Almanac,” which can be
obtained trom the publishers in Galve-ton, or
A. King, of Linden, Texas, and drawing from
knualedge obtained since my arrival.
CLIMATE.
Taking into consideration the vast area com
prised within the boundaries of this mammoth
Mato, the climate is the most pleasant, and as
conducive to man’s welfare, in aiding him to
prodnee almost every known vegetable, as the
world cau exhibit. It has all the peculiarities
of I he climato of Georgia, with many added of
its own, that Georgia does not possess. While
llui coast counties bawe the refreshing sea
breeze to make tbeir temperature as refreshing
m that of Chatham county, Ga , the northeast
ern and western counties, from some cause,
have cooler snmmers and less severe winters
linn North Georgia. The traits of climate, if
such they can l>e called, that differ from those
of Georgia, are the “ northers ”—a species of
storm occurring in winter, which sometimes
reduces a pleasant temperature down to freez
ing and below, in from twenty minutes to an
hour; and the dry, pnre atmosphere of the
western prairies, or plains—a feature alike be
longing to all Dur western plains—and, to a
►mall degree, the wet and dry seasons, that are
so well known to some of onr gallant Georgians
who have resided in Brazil and Spanish Hon
duras since the war.
Haring extended the remarks under this
bead already further than the importance of the
subject demanded, I give a brief statement of
temperature of Navarro county for five years,
taken at annrise, the mean fur each month and
for the year, and proceed with my next sub
let of "soil. ”
January, monthly mean temperature, 30 deg.
Fair.: February, 49 deg.; March, 51 deg.;
April, 51 deg.; May, 68 deg.; June, 74 deg.;
July, 77 deg.; Angnst, 7G deg.; September, G5
deg.; October, (10 deg.; November, 51 deg.;
December, 45 deg. Annual mean temporature,
' T deg. As this connty is on parallel 32 deg.
north latitude, and near the geographical centor
of the State on a lino running north and south,
>'■* temperature msy be taken, with only a few
degrees of variation, as applying to a very large
portion of the State.
SOIL.
Ontsido of an elaborate geological description
and a chemical analysis of soils in various parts
of the State, perhaps a list of agricultural pro
duct* grown and the yield per acre would be
the most satisfactory account of tho soil. I
therefore state that all the counties in Texas,
ucept those devoted to stock-raising in the ex
treme West, are capable of producing nearly all
■he agricultural products of the Union. The
entities in tho different sub-divisions of the
jjate, such as Northern, Northeastern, Eastern,
Middle. Western, Southwestern, and North
western Texas; differ as regards their adapta
tion to different products, and in the amonnt of
their yield, owing chiefly to difference of cli
mate, but also partly to difference of soiL Corn
is a universal product, and is raised even by the
stock-men of the far West to supply their own
wants. Potatoes and a great variety of vegeta-
■>les are raised all over the State, though some
wunties produce much larger orops than others,
barley, oats, and rye are grown suooessfully in
probably two-thirds of tho counties, while wheat
doe* not succeed well, except in the northern
counties, embracing about one-tbird of the ag
ricultural portion of the State. Sugar cane is
not profitably grown, except in the alluvial or
bottom lands, and hence, nearly nil our larger
sugar plantations are found in the rich alluvial
*°»»hes near the coast, between Oyster Creek
and the Brazos on the east, and the Colorado on
tne west Bat this crop is now being extended
up tuo alluvial valleys of the Trinity and many
oilier rivers, and promises to become a profita
ble and staple product in a larger number of
r* "ver counties to the distance of one or two
hundred miles from the coast Sorghum seems

and climate; but it is grown almost exclusively

The average yield per acre for all crops
gTOwn in the State cannot be, as yet, accurately
obtained; but for the leading crops, such as
cotton, com, wheat, oats, rye, potatoes, etc.,
the yield per acre is about one-third more than
can be obtained from Georgia soil, aided as it is
by fertilizers (we never think of applying man-
factured fertilizers here), or, say, for the whole
State: from twenty to forty bnshels of corn
and from a half to a bale and a half of cotton)
per acre.
A few more brief remarks, coming under this
head, and I close. The ramie plant is cultivated
to a limited extent, by way of experiment.
Broom com and the castor bean are receiving
increased attention. The gronnd-poa or “goo- - .
her” is easily raised everywhere in the State, rehef is always anxiously soug
, Hemp has been tried sufficient to prove that our ”
soil and climate are well adapted to it. Rice,
though not a common product, is raised in tho
eastern counties. Fish in great abundance are
found in all the rivers and along the sea coast
Our freshwater fish are principally the bass,
trout perch, cat and buffalo; and the saltwater
the redfish, trout, whitefish, oroaker, sheephead,
flounder, cat and drumfish. The finest oysters
abound on the whole coast, with crabs, sea tur
tles, etc. The valuable timbered region of
Texas is chiefly confined to some twelve or fif
teen counties of Eastern Texas, pine and cyf
press being the chief timbers and the most val
uable ; bnt all of onr settled counties have more
or less timber, and generally enough for fuel
and fencing, bnt for bnildiDg purposes the tim
ber of tho western counties is not generally
suitable. Steam saw-mills are found in all the
counties where the timber can bo nsed for
building.
POLITICS.
Tho State, like Georgia, South Carolina and
other Sonthem States is yet under misrule,
and to such an extent that in many of the coun
ties negroes, with scarcely more knowledge of
jurisprudence Ilian a cow, wero chosen, sworn
and sat as jurors along with white men, at the
last term of the District Courts, (the same as
our Superior Courts in Georgia.)
The present incumbent of the State “White
Honse,” E. J. Davis, is a full-blooded Radical,
and peer to “Rufus B.” of Georgia—though. 6o
far, tho State Treasurer, Goo. W. Honey, and
himself buve not come so prominently before
the people in regard to tho State’s money. I
Negroes are seen in some of onr cities as po-
lioe—this is a shame on the cities; as I pre
sume the State does not appoint police for the
cities.
SOCIETY.
The society of Texas, being made up of na
tive Texans, with emigrants from all parts of
the globe, nearly, is of course mixed, and of all
descriptions from the illiterate and nneontb, to
the highly educated and refined; but with all
there is a quiet, law- abiding demeanor that
makes both life and property as secure in the
settled counties, as in the older States.
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
In i.he larger cities of the State nearly all de
nominations are represented, and have suitable
places of worship; while through the more
thinly settled country, nearly every neighbor
hood has a church, (generally Baptist or Metho
dist,) and a common school, and at nearly every
county seat there are two or more churches and
generally a good school.
RAILROADS IN OPERATION AND PROJECTED.
I now come to the greatest need of Texas—a
a system of railroads, like that in the State of Illi
nois, ramifying her every county, to supersede
the miserable common roads, and take to mar
ket her abundant crops. Texas greatly needs
railroads in all directions, and her people, aided
to some extent by Northern capitalists, are ac
tively engaged in building many. The South
ern Trans-Continental—International Railroad
—Sonthem Pacific Railroad—Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railroad—Houston and Texas Cen
tral Railroad—Gulf, Western Texas and Pacific
Railroad—Texas and New Orleans Railroad,
are the roads built, now under construction or
projected, in this State, and running, or to run
in it from other States.
Of these Roads, the “Southern Pacific” is
now finished from Shreveport, on Red River,
to Longview, Upshur county, Texas, a distance
of sixty-six miles, and is still being, extended
westward; the “Missouri, Kansas, ard Texas
Railway,” to be a system of railroads extending
into and entirely through the State, has the
Neosho Valley Road” line completed from Junc
tion City, Kansas, to Ohetopa (State line,) a
distance of one hundred and eighty-two miles;
tho “Houston and Texas Central Railway”
Company was chartered in 1847, and eighty
miles of road bnilt to Milliean before 1861.
Since the war the extension of the road from
Milliean has been slowly but steadily progress
ing, and is now completed from Houston to
Groesbeck, on the main line, a distance of one
hundred and seventy miles; while on the Aus
tin and Western branch it has boon extended
to Ledbetter, a distance of fifty miles, thus
making a total of ono hundred and seventeen
miles completed during a period of three years;
the “Gulf, Western Texas and Pacifio Railway”
will be the “San Antonio and Mexican Gulf,”
and the “Indianola Railroad” consolidated; and
it is expected that thirty miles of road, beyond
Viotoria, will be constructed next year; the
“Texas and New Orleans Railway” charter was
passed September, 18GG. Before the war, the
road was finished and in operation one hundred
and eight miles—from Houston to Orsnge, on
the Sabine. The road “went down” and was
mnch injured during the war. It passed into
the hands of a receiver, nnder whose adminis
tration it has been rebuilt, and is now in opera
tion from Honston to West Liberty, thirty-five
miles. In addition to the railroads in operation
there are regular stage lines to all points of any
importance in the State.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Having extended remarks on “ railroads” to
such length, I merely state that the people of
Texas seem to be animated by the “ spirit of
the age,” and are building factories of various
kinds and making many improvements, that for
want of space cannot be mentioned.
POPULATION.
The tide of emigration constantly pouring
West, makes census taking but an uncertain
manner of estimating the number of inhabit
ants in this State; but from the best data at
hand, the lowest estimate of the number of
people making Texas a home, is 852,500 and
about one-third of this number, or 284,166 2-3,
are negroes; and as there are one hundred and
fifty-seven counties in the States, this gives an
average of 5,429 as the population of each
county.
LABOR QUESTION.
The labor on the farms of this State is prin
cipally white; the farmers and their sons, and
frequently daughters, being compelled, even if
they were not inclined, to take the place of the
freedman—the latter generally cultivating in
miserable style leased farms and “patches” for
their own benefit. The greatest need of Texas
as a State is railroads—the greatest wants of the
people, labor and then pure or Democratic pol
itics.
STOCK RAISING.
A chapter could be devoted to this subject,
but space will not allow. I merely name the
best stock or grazing counties and a few of the
“cattle kingsThrockmorton, Stevens, Jack,
Young, Callahan, Coleman, Brown, Tarrant,
Ellratb, Comanche, Palo Pinto, Hill and John
son. Richard King owns 65,000 head of cattle,
20,000 horses, 7,000 sheep and 8,000 goats.
O’Connor, near Goliad, owns 40,000 head. Mr.
Robideanx. between the Rio Grande and Nueces,
owns 30,000 head of cattle, besides immense
numbers of horses, sheep, goats, etc.
As to the route to be taken, etc., I will not
require any further space. If this letter, writ
