Nh. EDIToR-


As your paper is the only New York paper that
reaches this country, | take the liberty to write
you few lines. | am here situated on what is
called "lhe Lower Cohouca Bluff" We are oil
in confu sion here at this time. in political way
as we have expected to have been part of the
United States /; but Duff Green came 10 this coun.
try kicked up such fuss among the leading poli'i.
cians and some of the Coma nches that every thing
now is in doubt whether we will be annexed or
not. But We have large and fine crops this year,
and We will show you folks in the State in very
few years. that we will be the grooesl cotton coun.
try on the face of the earth.


There are quite number of sugar planters
whohave commenced operations just below US here,
who are doing well. We have large caravan
train of migration daily passing on TO the west.
ward part of Texas. Our populations increasing
faster at this time than was ever known O"ioIe.


Two-thIrds OF the population Of this country
are in favor Of aboIIshlng slavery forthwith
and let what will occur, there will remalA but
small portion Of this country in slavery. One
half Of the emigration from the SlaveholdinS
States came here to get rid of slavery. We have
a large German emigration some distance above
u.s. who are opening large plantations, and have
discovered q coal mine within their lands, and are
holding out induceUnts to their relations in Ger
many to emigrate and have no doubt, we shall
be the most thckly populated new country in the
southwest in very short time,


The first bale of cotton that was ever carried
down this river, was in 1888, on board tho steam
boat Trinity, the frst steam packe, that ever ran
on this river, and which was brought here by
New Yorker, by the name Of John F. Cowan, who
is the present owner Of very large tract OF land,
which will be very valuable some day. MIR. Cowan
left this country in lS4O-he sold the Indians
goods-lhey became very much attached to him
so much so, that if a New Yorker comes here
now, they ask "if they know hm;' and if so, II IS
perfect passport-a complete Proiecllon-tor
they are lasting in their friendships. Should we
be admitted under the protection Of the United
States, so that could be neighbors 10 our fathers
and mothers, brolhea and sisters, we would almost
feel, as though we were on our native soil.


Yours, TRlNITY.
