Th* following letter, descriptive of * Urge
portion of the territory of the Stete of Texas,
has been put at onr disposal by Judge Ful
wood. either to publish the whole or such
parts as we might think proper. We deem
the whole letter interesting, and have con
cluded, notwithstanding its great length, to
lay it entire before our readers:
Hon. Jambs Fulwood -.—My Dear Ofd
■Friend: —I now, after a long procrastination,
aest myself to answer you* letter, which
came safe to hand six months since, in
which you requested me to give you a de
scription of Texas. The task is rather ardu
ous, but it is with pleasure that I attempt the
performance of it.
The knowledge that I have of Texas is
not extensive enough to justify me in at
tempting a general description of it; but to
the lim its of my personal knowledge, i bavo j
no kesitency iu giving honest viows of this
Western State. I have knowledge
of the following counties: Bell, Oerryedl,
Milam, Willian.aou, Burleaton, McGlonnan,
and Falla, lying on the Little and Bosque
rivers and their tributaries, in Western Tex
as. These counties are, in the main, ball
prairie—nine teuths of the land is destitute
of either building or fencing timber; and
what there is, is low and scrubby, yielding to
the tree from one to two rail cuts, from 4 to 8
feet long—more generally one cut only, save
some of the timber in the river vallies, wliefre
the timber is something better. The river
lands are strong and fertile, yielding an abun
dant harvest to the industrious husbandman.
Also the black prairie lands produce
finely; but the high prairie lands arc, in the
main, not productive. All the West, howev
er, is subject to extreme Noughts, and expe
rience has taught the farmers in these regions
that they may rely upon two short harvests
to one bountiful; hence, filming in the West
is not a lucrative business. The wealth of
the West, in most cases, consists in cattle
and horses j and the basis of their business has
entirely failed in some sections, and partially
so in other portions of these regions, to wit,
the range, and weeds of rapid maturity have
taken the place of grass; hence stock raising
is no longer profitable in Texas. These re
marks are intended for general interpretation*
The water in the Western portion of ,Tex
as is limey to extremes, and remarkably
scarce in some sections. A large portion of
the inhabitants have their water to haul in
barrels, &c., which has to be broke, ns the wo
men call it, before they can wash with it.—
Some springs to be found in the vallies, are
fit for use in low water tides, but subject to
inundation in all rainy seasons, during which
time creek water is used. \
Those regions are also productive of vari
ous insects that nip agricultural plants in the
bpd/and subject to . the visitation of others,
te wit, locusts, flies, and caterpillars, &e.,
which lay waste the farmer's crops, and thus
“Might"'life highest prospects in a few weeks,
and entail upon him and his little ones a
stinted sustenance bordeaing upon starvation.
Think it not strange, when 1 tel! you that
there are families in W. Texas, wha have
not been able to help their youngest child to
a piece of bread for several months, even du
ring the present yeq,rj paused by the visita
tion ♦ some or all those calamities for three
consecutive years past. But this year brings
them relief, in giving them an abundant har
vest in the West; crops are good once more
there. ‘
In regard to society, I have to say, it has
a good aspect, both civil and religious. —
Churches are as healthy in Texas as they
are elsewhere, notwithstanding the great ca
lamities that frequently . visit them. The
people are as talented in Texas as any other
StateTn the Union. Health is more frequent
ly destroyed there than in most other States,
by the various kinds of disease that annually
visit those regions. Mon are more subject
to premature death than women, owing,
doubtless, to the amount of exposure they
are subjected to. There are to be found in
Texas, five widows to oue widower; hence,
all women who wish tdkget rid of their hus
bands would facilitate that matter by moving
to Texas—Western Texas, of course. Chil
dren are also scarcer in Western Texas than
is common to the number of families in that
country.
In concluding my remarks respecting the
Western portion of Texas, I must say, it is
the least desirable country to live in that I
have ever tried. And in the language of an
eastern lady, “ the Western portion of lexas
surely never was intended for the white and
civilized people of the East; but for the
wild and red man of the forest, and that he,
the white man of the East, has certainly in
truded himself upon the rightful, dominion
and home of the Indian and Spaniard.”
EASTERN TEXAS.
I have a personal knowledge of the follow
ing counties of the Eastern portion of Texas:
Houston, Aticferson, Sumter, Polk, Tyler,
Trinity, Jasper, Cherokee, Bulk, Panola,
Nacogdoches, and Grimes. In the main, the
country is heavily timbered, and reasonably
fertile. Sumter, Trinity, and [Jasper are
rather poor, mostly covered with long strew
ed pine. Tfye other counties are- fertile and
level; timber, hlckorv, blackjack, whiteoak,
postoak, redoak, and short strawed pine,
with a general variety of undergrowth.—
Land, gray, red, and chocolate color. The
gray and chocolate lands stand a drought
better than any other lands in Texas. The
red lands require a great deal of rain ; its du
rability is yet to be kuown, as the oldest
farms in Texas upon the red land still yield
a bountiful harvest when seasonable.
Eastern Texas is,as.successful a farming
country as any other upland portion of the
Western States. The. water is generally
good, with a few exceptions. All species of
agricultural plants raised in the South, can
be raised successfully in -Eastern Texas. It
is’ one of the finest cotton growing countries;
for-a high level country, in the South-west.
Health is generally good, save in the red
land locations, which seem to be subject to
the flux, which is fatal in many cases.
Its beauty is not surpassed by any other
country within my personal knowledge.—
Stage facilities are abundant here, bnt we
have not the rumbling of cars pr the heaving
of steamboats; but we are very familiar
with the popping of whips and driver’s voice
beside his team of ten oxen; hence, onr
market is not as good as others. Yet. our
country is flooded with goods of all kinds.
. The people of Texas are enterprising and
intelligent, and onr ladies bnt little behind
the Northern belles in looks, thonglrwe have
to regret, as well as the western people, that
there are so many widows in onr midst.
Schools iu Texas are as prosperous as they
are elsewhere, and we have the largest, com -
mon school fund, set apart by the legislature,
that I have ever kuown to be given by .Any
State. The tuition of indigent scholars u
entirely paid by the Stete, and a large por
tion of the wealthy also. Nd child need be
kept in ignorance here for lyant of means.—
We have high schools, seminaries, and col
leges of tbe highest grade; and all share in
this school appropriation fund.
Society is as fine here as elsewhere, with
one exception, that is, wo have more Bo
manism hero than is generally found in the
South. . This is owing to the fact that tbe
associations of the whites with the Spaniards
have been too intimate; hence our people
are tinctured with the spirif of Babylon.
The ministry in Texas is not inferior to the
ministry in any other Southern Stete! The
Missionary Baptist Denomination predomi
nates here, the Methodist next, and Cumber
land Presbyterian next. . , *...
In a word, the people of Eastern Texas
are generally satisfied, |nd the most are do
ing well-T-not so in the west, but the reverse.
At least no man could ever regret leaving
Ware county, Ga., to settle in Eastern Tex
as, if an exchange of ugly for beauty, and
sorry for good, or bad and low for high could
satisfy the wants of an aspiring mind \ for
yours, doubtless, ranks among the ugliest
of countries, and this.with the most beautiful,
healthy and productive. All the railroads
that may ever be constructed through your
country will not make it equal to ours,
though destitute of these advantages*.
I plight say more, but I hope to seq,yon,
face to face, by December next, and talk it
out just right. -t-~ -■
I am, as ever, your friend, &c., .

SHOOTING AFFBAY.
Last Friday forenoon an affray occurred
in this city, when pistols were discharged,
with nearly fatal effect. It had its origin in
an arrest of McGill, for debt, at the instance
of Mr. N. Dixon. The evening of the arrest,
Thursday, McGill entered the billiard room
of the hotel, and remarked that Dixon, —to
whom he applied an insulting title—had
bailed,bim. A younger brother of Dixon, a
lad of 17, overheard the remark, and told
McGill if he repeated his words he would
strike him. McGill did so, and young
Dixon immediately struck him with the cue
he held in his hand. They were separated
without either sustaining any injury.
The next momif>g„Mr. N. Dixon met Mc-
Gill, told him he had heard of his insulting
language, and struck him in the mouth with
his fist. McGill immediately drew a self
cocking revolver, and commenced firing.
Dixon drew his pistol, but not being able to
disengage it instantly, lie retreated back
wards, and in doing so came in coutact with a
barrel, by which he was swung round, in a
somewhat stooping.position, with his back to
McGill; and in this position received the
latter’s ball. The position probably saved |
bis life. Dixon retreated to the back part of.
the store before lie could make his own pis- j
tol revolve, and it then discharged accident- j
ally, the hammer slipping from his thumb, 1
and the ball entering near tbe bottom of a
door that was wihtin two feet of him, at right j
angles.with the direction in which McGill j
stood. McGill fired four times in rapid sue- .
cession. One shot took effect just below the ]
shoulder blade, probably touching the left
lutig, and lodging under the flesh of the
breast, near the eollar bone. Mr. Dixon rais
ed some blood, the wound did not%leed, and
was thought to be fatal. Wc are gratified to
be able to state, however, that Mr< D. is do
ing well, and no fear entertained of the re
sult.
McGill was arrested, and committed by a
Magistrate’s court ; but Mr. Dixon expressing
a wish that the matter should be dropped,
and no one appearing to give bond to prose
cute, ho was discharged. —Brunswick Herald.
Murder cf 3 Sheriff and hia Deputy.
S. D. Queener, Sheriff ‘of Campbell coun
ty, Tennessee, anti his special Deputy, Trav
is Gibson, in attempting to arrest two coun
terfeiters by tbe name of Lewis, on the
instant, were both killed. The Lewises made |
good tliciTescape. A reward of 6400 is of
fered for their apprehension.
Yellow Fever in New Orleans.
New Orleans, Aug. 12.—The deaths on
Tuesday were thirty-five, and on Wesnesday
forty-five. The report for to-day is not yet
rendered.
