From the AVic Odeum Picayune
Tent.
We lime often spoken in the most favorabb
erins of this young republic, both us to its rich
■ ltd fertile soil and its (inure prosperity. V\ i
nave been the humble advocates for the principles
ot rcpohliciiiiisin which we are proud to see mu
infested, not only by th ise at the helm of affairs
uni holding the most re ponsihle stations, hut a .
so hi its lice institutions. Hut much as we ha>c
advocated Texas and her cause, more yet remains
to he sad; and ivr can speak from personal ob
servation. M e make no idle speculations. We
have twice been within the borders of her rch
territory; wo have made two visits to her pros
pering shores, undue have traversed her liman
prairie* ami the thick maxes of her heavy timliei
cd holtoms; we have stood upon her I >v< i
niouniaiiis ami our -yes have rested on thousand,
and thousands of acres of her rich valleys. We
nave conversed with her people, and know then
resource*.
Texas was ne-er so flourishing, her prospects
w ere never so flattering, us al ibis time. Fumih
diet family id industrious and enterprising pen
pie are settling upon her lands, whose hountifui
.reduce is yicdliiig them all the comforts of life
Hut a few short year* is wanting to mature her
nto greatness. 'The stranger on arriving at her
seaports i* struck w ith astonishment al her al
most magic growth, and as he travels thr >ugh
the interior settle cuts he is constrained to ac
knowledge her as a prodigy in nations and to feel
that she will soon liecome a giant in power.
We make these remaiks, in order to introduce
to the notice of our readers, a few facts connect
ed with the City of Austin, the now scat of gov
ernment. and some of its advantages,
'The city of Anstn is located ii. the centre ol
the Colorado f alley, si the foot of a spur of the
Curd llrrctt Mountain, which run through New
Mexico. The climate is most delightful, hemp
fifteen or twenty degrees milder than any part o!
Texas east of the dividing ridge between the Bra
to* and Colorado rivers. At Austin, those itioini
lain* break off suddenly into a beautiful rolling
country, well watered and perfectly healthy. I
is said hy many interested persons, who hob
lands in other parts of Texas, that Austin is des
tifute of timber, that water is scarce and that tin
water with which it is supplied is not good.—
The reverse of these assertions is the truth.—
There is an inexhaustible supply both of timhci
md the heat of water. It is true that the timhci
in and about the city of Austin i- not the last toi
building, hut il will furnish the city forages with
fire w >od; and at a distance of thirty-five ()r c l)r ,

s which is rich, well watered and rolling. It is
three hundred miles from the fpper Ked Ki er,
and four hundred from the Lower Rio Grande,
j- Capital concentrated at A u-lin, must command
the trade of all the Mexican provineea near the
I borders of Texas. The unsettled stale of affairs
in Mexico, and the of rm rgy on the part of
. the inhabitant*, must prevent Matainoraa and
other commercial tuv.Jte, from entering into
competition.
I The gov(>rnmont of Texas intends laying off
i anil making a road to Manta Fe, which would
I have been commenced hy this time, but for tin
Indian difficulties. These difficulties will soon
lie removed, as next spring a military expedition
, will certainly goon the enlerprizc.
Os the importance ol the Santa Fe trade, the
i iliz*nu of Mew Orleans must lie competent judg

it not built ber up. and is considered valuable to
the merchants ol I’iit-burgh. The principal gold
mines are in the vicinly ol Bantu the rich
nrs are taken near by, whilst the country
abounds in mules nnd fine horses, which can he
bought for Jive ilnllurs in specie, or for goods of
equivalent value.
These hasty remarks show hut s part of the ad
vantages possessed by the eity of Austin, and we
have neither time nor room for more. 15ut we
will say, that with these, and improvements which
are practicable. Austin stands a fair chance, in

Th s T/VC AMFMKVT OV THK A HOOSTOOK. —A I
correspondent of the Augusta Age gives the fil

'•een established under the authority of Iho slate
.•('Maine, in the disputed territory, near the mouth
'f the Aroostook. The writer begins hm letter hy
WriMng the scene as he left il in April last. He
Inn proceeds ns'follows to give an account of ita
resent state.
Outlie 18th of July, the settle how changed! I
'•as prepared for it in a measure by the Inst two
idea of approach to a ninoth mu', well levelled
ond wheie befo.e nn road existed. The first ob
ject which caught my eye ss.i i fine Mock house,
n the hank of the river cuninmru’.ing the boom.
I'lie block house ia n budding of twenty feet

ned roof built of hew n timber eighteen inches
1 square claplemnlcd and pa'.ntid cream color.
' I iiiiiilied by ft mat liarra \ an>l inml house. On
lenrcr approu'li I b"IP>l the paint *i- linn of lhat
olor. which I was informed was of their own
■i niufac'ure. the first r»er burnt on the Arons
jjok. though ftn abortive attempt bad been made,
a'he block house on Fort Fairfield nex t came
1 io view. At a distance il presents the appear
inee of an eas ern pagoda but on nearer approach
is true character stood revealed. Il was a hexa
' 'ini of forty-three feel diameter in the lower story
Tty-seven feet diameter in the seemid story, the
■of slanting from each side, with a perpendicu
-1 nr break of about a foot ten feet from the eaves
s md terminating in a shaft of two feet diameter.
■' vhieh rises about three feet in the centre oft.be
•oof, being an extension of the king post. A tier
>f forty-eight loop holes in each story for musket
ry. nnd the same number in the attic story in the
oof. proelnira that its inmates could not be mo
ested with impunity. The building is enclosed
• by a palisade of eight feet in height, painted with
li be same material as the Mock house first dcacri
i lied.—The lower story of the block house is of
s line timber eighteen inches square, laid horizon
. tally; the second story of spruce nine inches
. 'hick, nnd placed perpendicularly, both elapboar
• led and the roof shingled in the best manner.
c The palisade is star shaped and sustained on
s 'he inside by a wall of hewn timber locked to
i- 'ether, and the space between of six feet, filled in
e with earth. Within the works are a well of
b 'inely-six feet in depth, which affords good ws
i- r. a cook-house and a barrack sufficient for one
u umlred men; and these, with the quarters as.
Tiled by the block house, would be ample sot
i he accommodation i f two hundred and fifty men.
s 'll front of the great gale through the w alls is a
e simile ground neatly levelled, and under each
. dork-house a relhir of the size of the building.
From eight to ten acres of potatoes nnd as mu
c iv ol oats, which promise a good crop, surround
• hese buildings. The remainder of the ground
i idled last Mar hb is been burned and partially
il lenred and all will be made ready to receive the
■ seed this fall.
r When in connection with the*.' works of man,
r we take into view the Aroostook, intersperred
I- with islands, with its windin ■ and gravelled
i shores, its placid and unbroken current moving at
the rate of about three miles un hour, its banks
■1 fringed with trees, the dark verdure of the splend
id forests, variegated with the vivid green ot the
e luxurienl crops of grain of the beginner they
t- constitute a landscape which, though il may be
i- surpassed in grandeur, rannot be exceeded in
beauty.
if There are now about thirty-five men at this
e place who do regular guard duty at the boom, or
w aro actively employed on thfimpjovenients round
g the station. Hut in ease of neod they could be
nf speedily reinforced by the parties now at work on
a- the roads recently laid out in this vicinity. On
ii- the mainlainsni eof this boom depends the pres
ig ervation of sixteen thousand lons of timber now
It in the river, on the banks, or hew nin the woods. I
Id , As much more has lioen passed through the boon-,,
s- 1 which was cut on the river under permission
io from Massachusetts, on h< r divided lands or by
- permission from the two state;. on lands held in
rommon.
it If any one is disposed to make any deduction
•r from the foregoing description, as arising from
ir w armth of feeling or an over-heated imagination,
h let him lake the stage to Tobiqno—one hour’s
r- ride will bring him to Filz Herbert’s on the 0 p-
I- positc sde of the river; if lie then doubts as well
i- be may, if he had stood on the same ground in
n February last, whether all is not the work of en

(■entity than any within her limits. 'I hough I
should be happy in anting him in thus extending
civility to any sin h n one who should he inclin
ed to visit the station, yet 1 cannot share the plea
sure.
I leave to-day for Fish river, to forward the
progress of the roads to that station, which com
mands all the ii|)[h.t part of the St. Johns, and,
perhaps, to erect a boom to secure the timber
which is cut on the St. Johns and its tributary

Dll IV EVANS' CILEHRA TED SOOT DISC
SYRUP, for Children Culling their Teelh. I liis
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chi -
dren, when thought past recovery, fiom convul
sions: As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. Ihe preparation is
so innocent, so ellicai ious and so pleasant, that no
child wid refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in t c gums,
the Syrup immediate y gives ease, by opening the
pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. IVm.

diseases of children,
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS' SOOTHING SY UUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans' Soothing Syr up: Dear Sir—The
g.eat hene/it a.lorded to my sulfering infant by
your Smithing Syrup, in a care of protracted and
painfu dentition, must convince every feeling pa
rent how essential an e.uly application of such an
invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
torture. My infant, when teething, expe;ienred
such acute suileriugs, that it was attacked witq
convulsions, and my wife and family s p used that
death would scon release the babe from anguish,
till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp; whi has
soon as applied to the gums a womieifu change
was produced, and afiei a few applications the
■ In d displayed o vioos re icf. and by continuing in
.Is use. I am glad to inform you the child has eom
letcly recovered, and no recurrence of that awful
omplaint has since oc. lined ; the teeth arc ema
nating daily and the child cny ys perfect health.

. knowlodgment public, andwill gladly give any

This Medicine. I warrrnt by th s pu lication,

Me in its essences. Its first and prominent vir
is to su due every vestige of intlamation, and t:
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic j there
holding within itself, every requisite virtue,
the suhduction of this loathsome malady—and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, vei l sustain the*
assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, are the on y two things necessary toclfect
a sound and radical cure.
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that w icrover it alone lias been used to
alfect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree ■
able consequences which almost invariably results
from the sudden cure of Gonorrlcea, have been
known too tain such as stricture, hernia, humor
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perpl xing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis
treatment of Gonorrlio-a

themselves. If the prescriptions are we I foi ow-i
