of the mountain" rom Marcos to York's

a continued ro«of farm houses, all in sight of

South i of th*r The dwelling houses ^nd
other improve ents in this section, are of an
order whicha'meé convinces the beholder,
that the prcpr tors are persons of cultivated
tastes, and iwbmitable energies. There is
also on Omán <e§k a large quantity of excel
lent lármicg la df, already dotted with ex-
tensive forms, which are surrounded by a
vast country, jtnd cannot be surpassed for
slock raising jurposes. This county in pro
portion tc its population in my opinion, has
more rea? weflth in it than any other county
in the Sutey living upwacds of three hund-
red negroes permanently located, and is with-
out an insolvent citizen within its boarders.
San Marcos, ife%ohiity seat, is situated on the
West, ade of ,the San Marcos river, within
three hundred,yards of its source, at the base
of the mountains, on the main road from Aus-
tin to San Antonio, and in respect to rapid
improvemeñfá falls in the. fear of the sur-
rounding country, being the only instance 1
know ,fff, where the country has kept in ad-
vance of the tówri, which ultimately in my
opinion;' may be'considered for the best, as
now whefi the country has become settled
with an enlightened and enterprising people,
the improvements made hereafter will be of
mueh better order than if the town had
been haétilypushed on in the beginning. It
contains now a flourishing male and female
school, a number ol stores and merchant shops,
with Several new buildings in course of erec-
tion, which when finished, with the addition
• • ■- - o iWufattUq
oííars has alfeady been subscribed, will make
it compare favorably wi'h any inland town in
the State. San Marcos from its delightful
situation, and unrivalled water powers, is
hound in an earl/day, to become one of the
most flourishing inland towns in Western
Texas, fhere are now several capitalists
ready (as soon as a trivial obstacle is retnbv
ed) to take hold ot its contiguous Water
privileges, and construct factories and machin-
eries of various kinds. Yes, ere long the
pleasant music of turning latheis. and thou-
sands of spindles, shall daily, by day break,
awaken the citizens of San Marcos from their
nightly slumbers. For the lover of morality,
good order, hunting, and natural curiosities,
San Marcos has peculiar attractions. The
fact that there has not been but three suits
(and pone ofá criminal kind) brought forward
in the county since its organization, is in itself
sufficient to prove the morality and orderly
deportment of the citizens of Hays county.

chair, to draft resolutions. After the commit
tée had retired, Capt. W. P. Rogers address*
ed the meeting iu a most eloquent manner,
potraying the great advantages that wouk
result to the American people in the event of
Gen. Scott's election. He alio led briefly to
the peculiar characteristics of the two candi
dates for the Presidency—the signal and the
distinguished services performed by General
Scott through á series of yparSj amounting
to nearly half a century. He had occupied ño
position, without credit to himself and honor
to the country. Triumphant victory had ever
perched upon his banner, from the bloody
field of Lundy's Lane, to the proud gates of
Mexico. In every campaign the American
Eagle had been victorious. The speaker, in-
dignantly alluded to the foul slander that
Scott and Graham would favor freesoiligra or
abolitionism. They were both Southern men
—born in the South, and Scott had fought on
Southern t as well as Northern soil. Híspame
is as broad as the Union—the history of the
country could not be written without tlie he-
roic achievements—the masterly diplomacy of
Scott.; He is approaching the sun-set of his
lifo. and it s but natural, that lie should de-
sire to spend the evening of his days in the
enjoyment of the sympathies of the people
among whom, he was born- Pierce, he said,
was comparitively an obscure man—a militia
general, with no very great reputation for
fighting. A New Hampshire lawyer—will
his friends run him as a General, or as a
country lawyer ? He said' the Democrats of-
ten grew witty and talked about "fuss and feath-
ers f this was very oppropriate, as Scott will
produce a great copunotipn in their ranks, and
as sure as «shootiug" the "feathers" will fly
in November. They had said much abgut
the "hasty plate of "soup.* He thouglft if
Scott was fond of "soup," Pierce had an equal-
ly strong prediliction for "candy ;" and the
gentleman perchance resembles his favorite
condiment, which always melts under a. hot
fire.
After Capt. Rogers concluded, the commit-
tee reported the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas-the Whigs of Washington county
have this day' assembled to ratify the nomi-
nations of Winfield Scott and William A.
Graham for President and Vice-President
of the United States'; be it
Respited, That after several weeks of ma-
ture deliberation, we bail1 with1 pleasure the
aforesaid nominations, and will support the
same with all our might and energy.
Resolved, That although it is supposed by
som^.th^the Whigs of Texas are nas yet ""
his power, to secure the assendancy of correet
political principles, for the support and main-
tainance of which, we believe it to be the
duty of all good Whigs to vote for the afore-
said nominees, at the coming election.
Resolved. Thnt we recognize in Winfield
Scott, a patriot distinguished not only for mi-
litary talents of the highest order, but as a
wise civilian, who has by a long life proven
himself noble, generous and humane.
- Resolved, That we are fully convinced that
a man of his elevated position and confirmed
political principles, can never be controlled by
any abolition or other faction, much less,
by any one man ol whatever cast he may be,
or whatever station he may occupy.
Resolved, That, in our opinion, the afore-
said nominees from their birth, and education
in the Virginia and North Carolina school of
politics, mu& be strictly national, if not South-
ern in their feelings and predictions.
Resolved, That this meeting cannot con-
ceive how a citizen, born, educated and re-
siding during his whole life, in the extreme
North-Eastern section of the United States,
can be more friendly to Southern institutions!
or to the rights of the extreme South-West!
than those b<^%itt edtrchtedih'a more cen-

The only confidence I had in its passage
was in the intrinsic justice and reasonableness
of the propoeitioif itself, which, in fact, a maun t-
" to nothing more than th —that such ot us
ant? gave us the interesting, description of a
scene in which he was, unfortunately a prom-
inent actor. It seems that Mr. Medicus had
established himself on the shellhank, opposite
Conway's creek, where he was engaged in
cultivating a garden. Fearing for the safety
of his family, and wishing to remove them to
a place of greater security, he took two boats
op Thursday ihprning, in which he deposited
his famjly, consisting of his wife and two
children. The'héavy sea soon capsized these
frail boats, and by great exertions Mr. Medí-
cus succeeded in beating his family all hack to
the house. But the water was encroaching
upon , them .with fearful rapidity. Chairs
tableé and bedsteads soon ceased to afford
them any security. Afa a last hope, the lady
and her children took refuge in a peach tree,
near the-house, which they reached from the
window. The excited and. anxious lather had
scarcely, placed the. last child, in this uncertain
retreat when the house fell down with a crash
over his head, and buried him in the rains.
When consciousness returned lie Vúnd
himself some fifteen .yards distant from the
tree containing his household treasures, 'hhtl
heard themóurnfuléiy of hiswifeañd children
