Let Us All Go to the Springs.
To the Editor of the Gonzales Inquirer:
Sib: As it has been so customary for inva-
lids and persons of general bod health to visit,
in the summer season, some mineral spring,
celebrated for its medicinal properties, and as
mineral springs, of much value, are very
scarce in the State of Texas, though more
abundant than in any other State in the Union,
I thought it due to the readers of your paper
to give them some information relative to a
chalybeate spring, compounded with other
minerals than iron, situated fifteen miles north
of the town of Gonzales and a half mile to the
right of the road leading from said town to
the city of Austin.
This spring was discovered by the Rev. D.
W., of Missouri, who brought a specimen of
the water to his consulting physician in Gon-
zales, who, after analyzing the water, recom-
mended him to the drinking of and bathing
iu it, which he done, and the effect has been
to almost, if not altogether, relieve several of
the vital organs of his system of the most ob-
stinate chronic affections with which the hu-
ndan family is-vi.srtod.
fchave not had an opportunity of witness-
ing the modus operandi of this water on-an
extensive scale, but from such information as
I have obtained by conversing with various
-rsons who have visited und spent some time
the .continued use of the water, together
with a visit wuich I made, and a short stay of
persons who have visited and spent some time
wuich I made, and a short stay
«even days, in company with Col. J. of Gon-
zales, I will venture to present to those who
may have bad' health the following tabular
view of the diseases for which I think this wa-
ter may be used with (in most cases) great
certainty of entire relief: Any continued or
remittent fevers, agues, pulmonary affections,
chronic dysentery, chronic rheumatism with
cmaciation, derangements of the abdominal
viseara, dropsy, and general bad health, such
as loss of . appetite, flatulency, headache, ach-
ing bones, and indeed all those symptoms,
usually attending indigestion.
In entering upon a course of this water, it
is best to begin with about four ounces, taken
six times every day, for three or four days'
after which the draught should be increased
to eight ounces, taken from six to eight times
a day. The first drink should bo taken be-
fore breakfast, and as one of the effects of this
water upon tne system is to improve the ap-
petite, its indulgence should be under the con-
trol of moderation. As tempcrancc in eating,
and generally total abstinence from ardent
spirits are important precautions in taking
medicine, either natural or artificial, I have no
occasion to stop here to point out their saluta-
ry influence as an auxiliary in promoting
health.
Upon analysing the water, there was found
a considerable portion of some aperient salt,
which keeps the stomach and bowels in a
healthy condition. Although I would recom-
mend the use of tho water of this spring for
all the diseases above named, as well as many
. others not mentioned, in preference to any
othfer medicinal.water in Western Texas, still
I would not have your readers think that I am
ignorant or unapprised of the fact that it is
scarcely possible to read, without a smile, the
numberless books, essays, and pamphlets,
which have been written on this subject. Tho
exercise of fiction and fancy finds, in the re-
commendation of mineral waters, a favorite
field for speculation. Miracles, wrought by*
holy wells and consecrated springs, together
with such discoveries as have been made by
midnight visions for the very spot where to
dig for a well, tho water of which would cure
all maladies and about which we have read so
many volumes, do not surpass, in extrava-
gance, the modern cures ascribed to those fa-
vorite haunts, of valetudinarians by fraud, ig-
norance and credulity. And I am truly sorry
to find the samo spirit pervading many medi-
cal treatises, which should bo distinguished
most sacredly for truth and a just contempt
for puerile embellishments.
GOING TO THE SPRING.
[For the Enquirer.
Mb. Editob: Not long since I read a no-
tice in your paper, informing the citizens of
Gonzales and its vicinity, or I had better say
all tho readers of the Gonzales Inquirer, that
the thermometer (Fharenheit) showed us a
temperature of 105 deg.
I only wish to suggest to your authority
that, perchance, he may have been mistaken.
In the years '48, '49, '60, '52, tho thermome-
ter ranged, in the months of July and Au-
gust, in Lexington^ Ky., from 07 to 104} deg.
This -abular memorandum included only the
warmest time in the day of those two months,
say between 12 and 4 o'clock.
It is a well known fact, by all scientific gen-
tlemen, that, in latitude from 85 to 40 the
thermometer shows a difference of tempera-
ture of from 5 to 7 deg. warmer than in lati-
tude 80.
I would not have taken notice of this state
mentinyour paper but fer tile reason that I

Ii all the formers were scientific men, then
indeed this would be a useless notico; but as
I apprehend that some of your readers may
not know the fact, that, from latitude 25 up to
45 the

to those who may take an interest in making
lemselves acquainted with a climate cool,
a free circulation of air in tho summer,

to introduce them to Western Texas.
I have .been in Western Texas more than
thirteen years, most of th&-time- in.the town
of Gonzales. I have never been, Bince my
emigration to the country, without a well grad-
uated thermometer in my hoilse; also the best
quality of barometer; and the truth, in round
numbers, is, that the thermometer (Fharen-
licit) uniformly gives us a temperature of 90
deg. in the warmest weather of July and Au-
gust, and the highest that I have ever seen the
V..-W W..V
22 years at nearly 80 inches,
with tho same propriety, that
mercury, where there was a fair test, was-101
deg. This test was made on the 22d, 23d and
24th of July, 1845. The tube, containing the
mercury, was taken from the frame and sus-
pended, by a small thread made fast to tho
upper ena of the tube, in the court-house
square, exposed to the rays of the sun. After
the mercury had become stationary, the tube
was replaced in the frame. Temperature 101
deg. Next day wo changed the mode of ex-
perimenting—only a little. After the tube
was suspended, mercury stationary, we marked
tho height of tho mercury with a pin and re-
placed the tube. Temperature 101 deg. The
third day, as it only took three seconds to re-
place the tube, finding we lost nothing for the
want of marking the height of the mercury,
our experiment was the some as the first day
and same result. There were various houses
and,places in town where tho thermometer
gave the same temperature on the same days.
Nor is <our atmosphere deficient in weight, the
mercury in the barometer standing usually at
80 inches, varying less in its test of the weight
of atmosphere than it does in any State in the
Union. Tho variation of the fluid in the ba-
rometer is from 29 to 81 inches, standing us-
ually at 80 inches. They boasted, in Cam-
bridge, Mass., that tho barometer vanged for

Lockhart Correspondence.
Lockiiabt, July 6,1858.
Dear Inquirer : Sinco my last, Col. Kyle
has declared himself a candidate to represent
this district in the next Legislature. The
Colonel, although having come out at so late
a period, is a strong man and will givo Mr.
Jones a " tight race, for he will take a num-
ber of votes from him. Therefore, I am un-
der the opinion that the' race will be between
Col. Kyle and W. Hess Jones.
On last Saturday a caucus was held here to
nominate a candidate to oppose Mr. Travis.
The caucus didn't feih but tne so called con-
vention did. Mr. A. J. McKean is Mr. Travis's
opponent, both of whom are young men, and
some have jocosely styled it the " colt race."
But I think that those who wish to «near at a
young man because he aspires to a seat in our
national councils, would do. well to commit to
memory William Pitt's reply to Sir Robert
Walpole, upon the charge of being
man. Mr. McKean is a son of John
Kean, Esq., a citizen well known in this sec-
tion of the country.
Mr. Travis is a son of Col. Travis, who fell
at the Alimo, a name dear to every lover of
liberty.
We celebrated the Fourth in the neighbor-
hood, which went off well, and all returned
home cheerful and happy. Col. Fisher read
the declaration and R. M. Shlnn delivered the
oration. After which, Mr. Travis gave Ids
views in regard to our State policy, which
speech was well received and gained nim some
votes.

The Lantern and Mrs. Stowe.
The severest and most truthfol criticism
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe and her British
admirers have yet received, is contained in
some eight verses of the New York Lantern,
of the 21st ult, entitled "Maranatha," and
supposed to be sung in chorus by the aristo-
cratic guests at Stafford House, London. We
select a few of the stanzas:
Now We naycr openly murder a ¡feasant,
Though thousands must starve to make one
of us rich;
They are not our slaves, and 'tis ticklingly
pleasant,
To think they have freedom—to die in a
ditch I
Though down in our mines, naked women, like
cattle,
Must crawl on all fours dragging coal to the
shaft,
Still we are the chiefs of Humanity's battle,
' And we are the crew of Liberty's craft!
Though Irishmen rot in the fever and. famine,
Which we have created—we speak it with
pride—;
That, you will calmly and fairly examine,
You'll find they were perfectly free—when
they died I
Wo only " asserted our right,"-and the hovels
Wherein lay the sick, we tore down without
♦ ruth;
But no one would think of admiring the nov-
els,
That told such domestic, detestable truth 1
The seamstresses' fingers grow thin unrequi-
ted,
That we to the Hottentots blankets may
give;
The promise of youth in its blossom is blight-
ed,
A d peasants are shot that our pheasants
.may live!
The hazard mechanic may pino in his garret,
His daughter dishonored, his son in a jail!
But still we can proudly declare, a la parrot,
That happen what will, "Britons are not
for sale I"
Altho' in' rank rooms, every night, without
number,
The old and the young, the debauched and
the pure,
Lie down on the same wisp of straw to their
Blumber,
We cannot be blamed for their sins, we are
sure;
Our rents must be paid, and the poor-housé is
ready,
Where husbands and wiveB are divorced by
the law!
Perhaps if their'skins were but black, and not
ruddy,
Some pity and tents from our purse they
might draw.
Oh, right-minded creature! what deep admira-
We feel for the "home scorn" your book
has confessed!
How happy are we, that our great rival nation
Has nourished a viper to sting its own breast!
Then freely our penny subscriptions we offer,
Proceed in the path you have hitherto trod;
Like Arnold, each anti-American scoffer,
Detested at homo, will be honored abroad.
The Bastrop Advertiser, of the 28th ult,
has a.very sensible article on the qualifica-
tions of Congressmen, which is, we think,
worthy of the consideration of voters at the
coming election. We make a few extracts
from it, the entire article being too long for
our space just now. After some introducto-
ry remarks, the editor says:
The discovery has been made that it it not
at all important for a member of Congress to
evince any ability to talk; that the intelligent

P. S. I forgot to mention that a runaway
negro was taken up, about twenty miles east
of this place, and lodged in the Lockhart jail.
Ho was armed with a silver mounted, rifle
barrel pistol, butcher knife, and an axe. He
also had with him a brass whistle, which he
seemed to be very skilfol in using. Ho was
well supplied with cooking utensils. SayB he

people of tne united States, throughoui
length and breadth, have all along been _
ly in error, in manifesting a disposition, as they
nave invariably, to honor eloquence and ora-
tory. The art of speaking, which was held in
some respect even before Demosthenes peb-
bled his mouth, must, it apppears, now yield
to the " modest and courteous manner.
The graces and charms of oratory must
hereafter yield to the gentlemanly address;
and he who once might sway a senate by the
magic of his voice, mil be held as nothing in
comparison with the popular dummy or ma-
nceuvering log-roller. With these opinions
we can by no means agree. Ñor do we be-
lieve the instances are many where the intelli-
gent people of our country
overlook true merit No, tne man most likely
to be chosen for the station of which we
speak, is he who possesses the power of ora-
tory; he who has knowledge to elucidate and
the ability to convince. And it has always
been so. What matters it that in the " stormy
days of the revolution" we b*d some great
and good men; men of power and influence,
of action; who acted well their parts. They
were no\ the moving spirits; for them we
must look to an Otis, an Adams, a Patrick

told tho people of their wrongs in such lan-
guage as burned into their souls and roused
them to rebellion. Then when the torch of
ljberty ivas feirly lit—then men of action and
of few words fanned it to a flaine which shall

A glance at the list, of articles entered for
exhibition will show that many of the most
valuable products and inventions, and some
of the highest specimens of artistic labor and
alHll from almost every civilized nation, will
be collected together and brought in compari-
son with the products of American genius and
industry. England, of coursa, will be a chief
competitor and particularly in her manufac-
turing industry and the products of the loom.
A glance at the entries, admirably classified
under the supervision of the superintendent
of that department, Mr. Webber, shows that
the United Kingdom sends to the exhibition a
large and choice collection of manufactures of
cotton, wool, silk, flax and hemp. The silk
and velvet fabrics are entirely of English
ufheture; the flax and hemp mainly S
and Irish. Tho cotton and the woolen a

the looms of Belfeat vying with those of Man-
chester and Leeds, 'Glasgow and Dundee^
Of agricultural and horticultural imple-
ments, though the English collection will not
be extensive, it will contain many of. rare at-
traction to those particularly interested in that
branch of industry; among them are several
specimens of reaping machines, patent mills,
cleaning machines, &c., and a curiosity in the
way of an engine plow, consisting of five
plows propelled by a steam engine of 100
horse power.
In naval architecture and military engineer-
ing England sends more models of snips, boats,
&c., and a few guns and pistols, but in these
last mentioned articles, since the triumph of
Colt's revolvers at the London exhibition, it is
presumed there will be no serious challenge
thrown down by British mechanics to our
American inventors.
In the articles- of tapestry work and car-
pets, however, we shall doubtless have a splen-
did display from the English looms. Some
specimens of Edinburg tapestry, and tapestry
velvet carpets are entered; laces, embroide-
ries, pictureSttorked in Berlin wool, and what
is more elegant, a portrait of Queen Victoria
worked in wool by one of her faithfol sub-
jects, Mrs. Jane Williams, of. Dublin.'
Our space would &il to mention, or even
briefly to glance over the great variety of ar-
ticles comprising the valuable collection from
England alone. Her contributions, under the
head of fine arts, sculpture, paintings and en-
gravings, would, of themselves, rnrnish the

The Mormons are now making Borne experi-

The machinery for this purpose was brought
through in October ana November last, too
late to bel put up at the public works, and
some incipient steps taken, such as binding
the beet, pressing out the liquor, ana making
molasses and some sugar. It is a crude arti-
cle, and has an acid taste, more like current
jelly than molasses. One difficulty in the pro-
duction of a good article has become quite
manifest The soil here is strongly impregna-
ted with salaratvuL and the beet, being a very
juicy root, absorbs a large quantity of this
salt Until some method of separating this
from the sirup is discovered, a good article
cannot be made. It is said, however, that the
beets in Utah county are not so much'
nated with salts; if this, as is to be
should turn out to be well founded, the i
culty will be surmounted. Beets are n
here of enormous size, and are foil of saccha-

from Europe at an immense expense, i
extremely doubtful whether the com;
