Letter from Texas. Uullan, Texas, Marcli 29, 1ST1. Editor Proqress .- My fldvent into Texas was upon the North, crossing Red River opposite Sherman, the county seat of Grayson county. Prom Red River to Sher
man, distance about twelve mils, the country is broken, and the soil varied from the blackest and most waxy, to the most sandy ; yet, all productive,arid covered with a dense forest of medium sized timber, consisting of cotton-wood, post-oak, ash,gum,liackberry,mesquit,shittim, and bois d'arc. The farms are small, and the improvements very indifferent. The prevailing style of architecture being a light frame, weather boarded up and down, without ceiiiiij; or plastering. Cotton is the principal praduct, and its yield equal to that of any produced in the south, an average crop being one bale to th 2 acre. SHEBMAS has a pcpulatien of about 1,500 ; one or two churches ; about twenty stores ; two hotels ; a weekly newspaper ; and a disreputable number of saloons. One of the hotels sounds a gong, and the ether a crow-bar. Here the traveler from the north first strikes specie and raw-hides, the currency of the country. His greenbacks are jelow par, and are declined by his landlord, and the specie demanded. I have seen as little circulation of greenbacks in Texas, as I saw of specie in Indiana.
rattle ot hard
above the mouth of the Eat Fork, and hence the sobriquet "The Three Forks City." It is located upon high table land, sandy soil, level, and surrounded by timber, such as post oak, shittiin, ash, cedar, &k. It is a beautiful location lor a city. Cedar groves are upon almost every lot in town, and the r;ads leading east from town are through a dense forest of cedar. The streets of Dallas are never muddy, and
most of them will never need grad-
jng. I he court nou?e square is mil
of neatly trimmed and topped locusts, and deserving a better Court House than the one standing upon it. There are two flouring mills ; a small' foundry ; four very respecta
ble churches, Methodst, Cumberland Presbyterian, Episcopalian and Christian, and an elegant Ma;onic Hull, each costing on an average, $7,000. There are five Sabbath Schools, one connected with each church, and one organized by Presbyterians since ray arrival. They all bid fair for the future. The Cum. P's. contemplate the establishment of a college, while the Methodists have already commenced erecting an Academy. Respectable schools are in progress. The population consists of a respectable sprinkling of German, French and
Swiss, besides the maior pcrs of
American and African. The people are generally high toned, chivalrous, impulsive, liberal, and all ch-jrch going, except the foreign element. When a collection is taken tip in
church, I have observed that it is
seldom any member ot the congre
gation tails to contribute irrespec
tive of church members: md the
silver half dollar is the usial chink you hear in the "hat," as well as

frontier Texan may be seen here in the bar-rcom, sitting in a raw-hide chair, dressed in a raw-hide suit, vociferously talking about raw-hides, having a rato-hide "weasel-skin" full of the raw specie. In fact, a man "gwn from the States," is vividly impressed with the notion that he is in a raw-hide country, and that Texas in places is decidedly raw. GRAYSON COUNTY, however, has some of richest and most beautiful prairie in the State. I should think it would puzzle nature hers-jlf to improve upon it. Its thousands of acres spread out before and around us, on our route from Sherman to Denton, I think the most lovely picture I ever saw. In one grind panoramic view there were gentle valleys, rising mounds, sloping bills; groves of timber, nurseries of cedar, streams of "vater, rich prairies, pastures, and the whole country dotted with cattle. One coull but be reminded of the
"green pastures," "the still waters" and "the cattle upon a thousand hills" mentioned in holy writ. The county has an area of 9-50 square miles, and a population of about 6,000. Land has advanced twenty -five per cent, during the past two years, and unimproved sells at 3

differ nerhaos as to "the ti ne" and
"the place" and of course as to the "auantitv" and "quality.'' It is
not very uncommon for a saloon keeper or other man of the world, to give $100 towards the erection
f a church, or the salary of a nin-
ister, or someotbv benevolent pur
pose. I heard a gentleman the.
other dav. who is not a member of
any church, and of only easy cir
cumstances, who has already gi ven
from two to five hundred dollaid to
each of the churches already ereited
in Dallas, make a standing offer to
the .Baptist denomination (which
has no organization here vet) of
$500 towards the erection of a re
spec table church, following this up with the additional offer of from one to five hundred dollars annually
towards the salary of a Baptist
minister, provided the services of a
pure and able minister were pro cured.
Buildings progress slowly on
account of the scarcity of material.
Lumber, except oak and eecla, is 150milesaway. The eastern pineries are said to be inexhaustible, but transportation at present, whuh is entirely by wagons, is very costly. The price of lumber is 7 and $8 per hundred. Brick-makers are.
unskilled in their art, and eonse
extravagant, uneducated act whose names recruit the divorce calendar and help the small newspapers to make a living by the scandal they occasion. One story, which hps never reached the public before, is almost too continental to appear outside a French novel. I have seen the parties to the suit ; both young; the husband rather quiet, fond of music and terrapin
suppers,good looking and indulgent;
the wite cxciteable, a beauty ol the mantau makers style, heavy dark curls, languishing ey ;s, "pronounced" shoulders and very round waist,
with no special harm in her ; frank,
childish and romantic, as only a
gay, overgrown woman knows how to be. She fell in love with a
young Adonis, a friend of her hus-
hand s; they flirted desperately and
came to a dead stop. Neither wanted to outrage the proprieties, neither could give "p the acquaintance.
Irankness confessed to her hus
band : "You havo always been
good to me and never denied me any'thing. I am desperately in love
with I1 rank, and 1 want you to cive me a divorce so that I can
marry him." Husband philosoph
ically considers the situation, thinks
an unloving wife's value is gone
anyhow, and consents. But their
boy, nine years old, must not grow up to find his mother's name called in question, so the faithful husband
decides that his wik shall sue him
for divorce, taking the blame on
Ins own shoulders, "as it isn t so
much to the world what is said of
a man." The decree , is obtained with no more trouble than the
conveyance of an estate. The di
vorced lady marries her red cheeked Adonis, separating from
her former husband on the best of terms. What a charming example for the advocates cf free divorce !
No quarrel ; no shooting or dis
credit for the children, because the
husband was reasonable, instead of
making himself unpleasant in the
matter. This story is true, and the
saint of domestic peace is an artist on Ls.ko street. As to the proper moral to be drawn from it, that's another matter.

It his a popnla tide, of abou t 500, a gentle mound for a public Bquare, covered with a spontaneous Sowth of green trees, but no Court euse. Her Court was organized in this woods, and has often been held there since. When the contemplated Court House is erected, Denton will have the most picturesque public square of any town in northern Texas. There are a respectable number of stores around the squarn, and creditable buildings. Her hotel is the most shabby ,whieh has its bar and sleeping room all in one a large, commodious, and well ventiiatec anartment. 20 feet square.

"refreshment" 'By the twanging, And the clanging,"
of the poker on the skillet lid, or
something that sounds very much
like it. DEHTOX COUNTY
has an area of about 900 square
miles, a 'population believed to be 1,200. Its lands are fertil and the agricultural interests advanced
further ti an Grayson. Its improved
farms arc more numerous, and its population more prosperous unimproved lands sell at from ?4 to $15
per acre. THE CBOSS TIMBERS
mentioned above, are a singular
freak of nature,commencing abruptly
and without any apparent cause,
and endi lg in the same way. JL'hey
consist rioatly of low, scraggy post oak, an u sandy soil, and from ten

northern Texas, affording the chief
supply of fire wood and lencmg, and mast, for thousands of hogs, but
not of gTeat value in the way of
building material. DALLAS
Our last day's travel was from Den
ton to t o is place, the county seat of
-Dallas county, distance 35 miles. From Buxter Springs to Dallar, the distance is 400 miles, and we road'1 the journey just in one week, at a cost of about twenty cents per mile. Dallas has a papulation of 2,500, and is nitrated on the 'North Fork or main utrearo cf the Trinity River, throe miles below the mouth of the
There is very little of good lime made in the country, and hunce there are here, as every place elisein northern Texas, very few houses plastered. A goodly number of concrete buildings have been erected
in the past four years, but they are proving failures, some of them falling down before completion. All these impediments, it is hoped, will
be removed as soon a.s the iron
horse snorts in the suburbs, which will be at no distant day. Lots sell
at from $200 to $1,000 near the
public square ; and land half mile
east of public square, but within the limits of the Corporation, at from $50 to $250 per acre. The Corpo
ration made a donation the ether day of 100 acres lying one half mile
east of town, to the lexers Uentral

A terrible wag has been travestying the story of truthful George: and his hatchet after this fashion: "Sutler and Wendell Phillips werj in the garden of the White House, waiting to seethe President. They were kept there lor some while, when Butler, picking up a hatchet, began cutting the trees to beguile the time. Grant soon af:er appeared,and asked "Who has been hacking these trees?" Butler answered :I cannot tell a lie, Mr. President : it was Wendell Phillips.

Railroad, and one mile from the Depot, sits our magnificent little burg. With a population of some It ss than a thousand, it can boast of three dry goods stores, a drug store, tin shop, doctor shop, two harness shops, i.xid a blacksmith shop. Messrs. Carmichael & Urmey, have an extensive pork house, where they slaughtered tv.renty-fivo hundred hogs the last season. We have also a fine flouring Mill, owned by Andv Woolen. Mr. George, the
accommodating miller, understands his "biz" perfectly. Tho Woolen

The Arkaxsaw Traveler. The following is an extract from
a letter written from Hot Springs, Arkansas : After throwing myself outside of the usual amount of wild turkey, venison.and sweet potatoes, to make up a first-class Arkansas dinner, I set out for a walk in the country. While sitting upon the fence, who should I see coining down the road but the very person that I had been looking for since I had been in the State of Arkansas, viz : the celebrated "Arkansaw Traveler." As he came, perched upon bis cart, I had ample time to take a look at his turnout, which consisted of one ox, harnessed wit i every conceivable sort of rope;i and straps in shafts, to a oart, the body of which is about as large as a dry goods box. I stopped him, and he told me that his load consisted of pork and taters. I remarked to him that I supposed his wagon containing the pork would be along foon, when, without saying a word, he raised the cloth from the basket and remarked that "There was three as fine hogs cut up in that'ar basket as was ever seed." The idea to a Wabasher, of three entire hogs in a three peck basket bringing to market! The breed of hogs here they call the hazel splitters. I asked him if he could play on the violin. He asked me if I meant the fiddle. I told 1 ira I did. He eyed me for a moment, and in that moment I thought I plainly saw bowie knives for two. But instead, seeing thit I was his friend, he merely remarked that he guessed I was a stranger in this country, for if he could only play the fiddle, he could be elected to any office he wanted. As soon as he said this he was invited to take a drink."
