The race was

preparation of fact. To thoec wlio have doubted the practica-
bility of tendering the river navigal4e, these facts should be
conclusive. Tl e bendíts of this navigation to the inhabitants
on either side of lite river and to the owners of land in its vi-
cinity, is inctdeulable—affording to the former a direct ship-
ment of Ida produce to New Or tea as-—to the merchant the

A number of towns ar.* idnrulv laid out on either :-idc of the
river, manv of which promise to be importan: plnec oí l-usi-

in Texas, ahutued on Mulberry IJ'nfT, inore th ut one humlrcd

and eonaidefikhié improvements t*een made in the buildinsr of
hottse , saw and grist mill , &c. The water and health ar.
described as excellent. From this a route has been marked
out, and a good rood wiH lie sobn completed to ^t. Aujrustine
and Nacogdoches. The plan undoubtedly ■—<- ^ujm riot
advantages over any other locution in the vicinity. • Much en
dit i due for their labor and perseverance to the olTiei-rs who
