 The Texas-or, perhaps, l might say the anti-Texas letter of Mir. E. M. Owen, late of Saline county, Arkansas, has just attract ed my attention, and am sorry to see that my old friend has been so much disappont- ed in his expectations, with regard 10 that country, and heartily concur with him, in his advice to all hIs friends not to go to that, (and, would add any other), country with out first exploringiit

 The objections urged by Mir. Owen, are: That the country is greatly over-ra,ed;-A poor man has no business there;-The bad ness of timber anl water, and scarcity of the former;-The want of navigabIe streams;- The badness of pads and the distance which hauling has to bedone, into the interior:- To all of which shall attempt to reply with the utmost good eeling towards Mr. Owen, as he is an esteemed friend of mine, and l would be sorry indeed to say any thing call cuIated to woundhis feelings.
