TEXAS CORRESPONDENCE OF THE
GEORGIA HERALD.
Navasota, Texas Jan. 15,1870.
Messrs. Editors Georgia Herald: — Gentle*
men:
Since the 25th of December I
have been the very happy recipient
of each succeeding number of the
Herald , and again beg to place my
self under many obligations to the
unknown friend who (it seems) has
placed my name on your list of sub
scribers. (If the “spondidix ” was
not handed in, also, you can either
draw on me or let me know by mail
and I will remit.)
Buisness in our city has been very
good since Christmas up to a few
days since, and has only been tempo
rarily stoped by the recent heavy
rains which have rendered the roads
almost impassable between this place
and Anderson, the only road leading
to Leon, Madison and other counties
above, where our largest trade comes
from. A pretty heavy northerner is
blowing to-night, which, taken in
connection with the cloudless star
light, is a good indication of fair
weather. We hope ere another Sat
urday night rolls round, to he taking
in the usual number of “Mexicanas”
that heretofore have found voyage to
our cash drawer.
The tide of immigration continues
to flow in a constantlv increasing
volume. And hear, 1 would say.
that the migration this season consists
of families from sister Southern States
many of whom have seen better days,
though, even now, are by no means
“flat,” nor do they come expecting
to obtain support farther than their
casli can pay for. Os this class, (as
well as some who are almost perfectly
destitute of any funds.) we find many
to be intelligent and high-toned,
such as we mightprejer. But there
is room enough in Texas for thous
ands more, where the soil is of the
richest grade, water as pure, climate
as genial, and scenery as romantic as
can he found anywhere, and can be
bought cheaper by far, than the old
fields that surround your lovely little
ty r Pn nil giv© 0. Lonrfcy wcl
corae and all the encouragement we
can.
During the last week about three
or four hundred Chinese passed here
on a special train en-roule for Colvert,
the present terminus of the Houston
and Texas Centeral Railroad, where
they will enter for duty as Railroad
hands. None of them want to farm
or engage in anything that could pos
sibly prevent their returning to China
at any time they might wish, and
make a very special request that if
any of them should die here, to send
their hones back to the land of their
birth to be buried, thereby securing
happiness to the balance of their
families. Various are the opinions
regarding Chinese immigration; some
think it will prove a better class than
represented, while others only con
sider it a small stream of filth ebbing
a short while in Texas.
Notwithstanding the rapid change
cf the weather, to which we have been
subjected for some time past our city
has suffered but little from sickness.
In fact, I have heard of none at all
recently of more serious nature than
chills and bad colds.
Houston papers of this date pub
lish Gen. Reynold’s appointments to
Civil offices, the same having been
elected to the positions designated,
viz : Edmond J. Davis, Governor ;
J. W. Flanagan, Lieut. Governor;
A. Bledsoe, Comptroller; G. "VV. Hon
ry, Treasurer; Jacob Renchler,
Commissioner of General Land office.
Doubtless you are aware that the
above fills the programme, and is
Radical from beginning to end. But
as I am not a member of the politi
cal arena, you will please allow me
to demur.
Owing to the immense quantity of
cotton that has to be transported over
this road, it has been an utter impos
sibility to keep this staple from ac
cumulating on the platforms and in
the "ware-houses, after there has been
over one thousand bales ready for
shipment for a week at a time. This
has, somewhat, effected the price of
cotton along the road, but at this
place it has generally held up to with
in one and a half cents of Galveston
market. To-day IT cents in gold
has been the ruling figures for good
ordinary.
I spent last Sunday in Colvert, and
was told that rapid progress was be
ing made in advancing the Railroad,
and that before a great wliileßremond
would be its terminus. Bremond is
where the “Waco Tap” will intersect
the Houston and Texas Central Rail
road. I also learned that the sus
pension bridge at Waco would be
completed in a day or two. That is
a fair specimen of Texas enterprise.
The bridge will cost over one hundred
thousand dollars. By'the-by, speak
ing of enterprise and railroads, why is
it that*the Thomaston and Barnesville
Railroad is not in operation ? lam
quite sure it would pay good interest
to capatalist. I feel no little interest
in your town, and hope ere long to
hear that you are connected by rail
to the many flourishing cities in your
State.
Galveston papers of to-day gives
an account of SIO,OOO having been
taken from the State Treasury, and
two foreigners, who were stationed at
the building have been arrested and
charged with the theft. “Yet the
doors of the Treasury vault exhibit
no evidence of having been forced or
tampered with.”
If any of your readers desire any
information regarding this state, more
than I have given, I will be more than
glad to give it.
l r ours truly,
JUSTITIA.

My friends we advise all to go and give Andy a fair trial, and we know
that you will away well pleased. We have been told that in the last six
months that Mr. Webb’s trade has doubled every month; and the reason
why, this house is the only house in Thomastrn that is willing to divide
profits with the people. Ladies and gentlemen we know that if you will
give John N. Webb your trade as a great many of our friends have done in
1869, that }'ou will come out like they did, with fifty dollars and the
same amount of goods bought at Webb’s as was bought at other places
before. This is true, for we have been told by the most reliable men in (Jp
son County that January, 1869, they set in to deal with Webb & Johnson
one year, and that they kept a close account of what they bought 1868 and
1869, and in 1869 with Webb & Johnson they saved clear cash fifty
dollars. So I think Ladies and Gentlemen that this is quite an item.
Allow me my friends and customers to thank you for your very liberal
patronage through 1868 and 1869. I wish you a bappy new year and
continuance of your liberal patronage. Mr. W. A. Johnson; with myself
promise our best efforts and services; JOHN N. WEBB,
