Dear Brothers—
I promised you when I left that I wptíld
give you some notes , of my travels, but
have neglected to do so until now, from
the fact that I * have seen but little that
would interest the readefS~o? ttoG" Oittéar,
and have not been attacked with the cacoe-
tkes scribendi; or, in other words, have felt
no inclination to scribble si bee my depart*
ure from the city of Columbus and arrival
in this little Crescent tow.n.
Oar trip to Richmond was as pleasant as
could be expected from a confounded mean
stage and wone roads. My lriend, John
II. Robson, and myself—the only passen-
geis—tried to sleep at night by coiling
down in the bottom of the stage, but we
found it rather a rough business, since the
jolting of the concern frequently brought
our beads in contact with each other, or
with-the hard sides of the vehicle, We
arrived at Gollaher's to breakfast, which
was not the most suitable to persons of
delicato stomachs, and which being dis
pa^hed, we proceeded to^ichmoi\4f $fhere

Such is.the case. A mere threat from
Napoleon vibrates through the commercial
world like a paralysis. The world has no
use for such despots and should ba rid of
them.
But I have something more interesting
to the readers of ihft {"V'rVfw than gfljltrP1
news. 1 have secured the privilege of in-
troducing into our county Geo. W. Lby's
New Patent Milt Dress, the best thing of

a sixteen inch rock will grind from twenty^
five to thirty bushels of corn per bout!
The meal is not killed, or mashed up, as in
the ordinary mill-, but comes out round,
fine and perfectly sweet. I have also se-
cured the agency for a new cotlon preSs

acquisition to our county. These matters
I will present in detail upon my return.

on the prairies.
We had no time to take a survey of the
interesting little town of Richmond, but
got on the cars for Ilarrisburg immediately
after dinner, and arrived at that place at
Q o'clock, where we got on the " Diana"
and arrived at Galveston in the morning.
We put op at the Island City Rouse. 1
had the pleasure of shaking Judge Bell by
the hand here. I am glad to learn that
he is giving general satisfaction on the
lltancb, and becoming daily more popular.
Indeed he is a favorite.
Galveston is quite a city, and really a
pretty town. The business houses are
large and capacious and as good as you
will generally find. Some fine, new ones
are going tip—which shows the place is
improving. I noticed a large building of
granite going up. I found the people
genial and friendly; bull discover that
many of them do not advertise in the
country papers. I found one man (I forget
his name) who told me he intended to
draw 6,000 bales of cotton from Colorado
county next season, but could not advertise
in our county paper! The stingy man !
This is a free country and every body has
right to do business as be pleases,
>ut t trttot UotoradoHsill not aend her cot
ton to a man so illiberal and selfish;- I trust
the amount of his receipts from our county
will be whittled down to the little end of
nothing I In the meantime I trust those
who advertise in the Citizen will receive a
liberal share of business from old Colorado
I hope the 15,000 bales of our county will
be divided among them. I staid one day
in Galveston, and left on the Orizaba, " in
side line," on Sunday morning at* ten
o'clock, and arrived at Brashear or Ber-
wick on Monday at 12 o'clock. The cars
were just coming in as we landed. The
cars left at one and we arrived in the Cres-
cent City at 6ix in the evening.
The city looks as natural as life, but lias
changed some since I was here seven years
ago. Fine buildings now occupy the place
of old shanties. New Orleans is improv
mg, though her population has not in-
creased much since I lived there. She
should push on the Opelousas railroad to
increase her business with Texas. When
that is finished to Houston, tke .travel pat
ronage will nearly all go that way, as well
as a great deal of freight.
There is no particular excitement now in
the city. The Pacific railroad fellows have
been quarrelling here during thepast week,
and, as usual, have done nothing. The
road, I understand, is to be sold on the
1st March. I do not pretend to understand
the controversy ; but the New Company
seem to have every advantage of the eld
one. Probably no scheme has ever pre

Yesterday, the 2 2d, was celebrated by
the firing of cannon, the unfurling of the
national flag every where, the mustering of
the soldiery, balls, general rejoicing, Ac.
Canal street was thronged with men, and
the galleries were crowded with ladies,
looking on the soldiery. This Hagloriou*

Business is tolerably brisk, but the news
from Europe is calculated to check it.

loss is estimated at $100,000, of which
$20,000 was insured.
jCST The announcement of Dr. Terrill
as a candidate to represent this courity in
the ensuing Legislature, may be found in
its appropriate columr^ The Doctor is a
.man of varied informmon, a firm and con-
sistent Democrat, and would represent oW
Colorado laithfully and with much credit
of ever seeing. The largest head Weighs
twenty-three pounds, and with the stalk, is
about fiye feet high. This species of cab-
bage grows most luxuriantly all winter,
and the cows were fed upon it. When ihe
heads are cut off, it heads up in a different
place, the heads being perfectly white, aéd
most palatable to those who like the jreg
etable. It certainly beats anything in the
shape of a cabbage that we have everseen.

site of county, and is very well gotten up, though
it's a pifry the editor had not adopted some other
name than Herald, There are already five pa-
pers in Texas bearing that name. This one is
independent in politics, and says: " Por fear that
some may understand that we shall take no part
in politics, or rather that we intend being neutral^
we would here explain ourselves more full^
Neutrality aitd independence are widely differ-
ent, and though we shall assume no particular
side or pursue an ultra course, yet we expect to
give our political sentiments and opinions, with-
out regard to party, and make it as interesting in
this light as any other." ,

occurrence took place a few days *go near Na-

to undergo judicial investigation.

Editors Citizen—Gentlemen:
The Understood have seen several calls
upon various persons, worthy and. honora-
ble citizens, to represent the interests of
our growing county in the next Legisla-
ture, and while We highly respect all who
have declined running, and all who are
now candidates, we know of no man more
deserving of the honor of being our rep*
resentative—more worthy as a gentleman
—better qualified to represent our interests,
or who would more folly devote all his
tireless energies to fulfill the obligations of
a legislator for his constituents, and the
best interests of our county and State—
than onr old, long tried and worthy fellow-
citizen, W. B. Dewces—a ehort history of
whose life will be sufficient to recommend
him to his fellow-citizens, without in the
least detracting from the intrinsic merits
and capabilities of the gentlemen who aré
now in the field.
W. B. Dewees came to Texas and settled
in what is now known as Colorado county
—where he has remained ever since—in
1822. When our fertile fields were a
howling wilderness, surrounded.by Indians
and wild beasts of the forest, he was ac-
tively and fearelessly engaged in protecting
a few helpless women and children from
the furv of the prowling foe ; when Ste-
phen F. Austin was in Mexico obtaining
his grants for the first American Colony—
amid all the dangers, toils ana snares of
surrounding opposition and threatened
death he bravely bared his bosom\to the
shock of battle, in defense of the lives,
property and future well-being of our peo-
ple. He was mustered into service as
captain of a volunteer company, under
Lieut.-Col. J. W. E. Wallace, our worthy
fellow-citizen, and Col. John II. Moore, at
Gonzales. When the first blow was struck
for Texan freedom, against the Mexican
Government, he was actively engaged m
all our efforts to achieve Independence,
from the firing of the first gun to the bat-
tles of San Antonio and San Jacinto. IIo
has freely participated in our struggles-
shared our trialR—fought our battles—and
we deem it meet that he should receive
from our hands some slight token of our
esteem and confidence; aud we know of
no better way of proving the high estima-
tion in which we hold him as a fellow-
citizen, and the high appreciation we have,
of his undaunted .courage, iñ the darkest
day of the Lone Star, and our respect for
him as a reliable and honorable man;
