second crop of Cotton — Lynch law — the disunion feeling — K. G. C.'s &c.
Long Point, Washington Co., Tex., November 19th, 1860.
Our second growth of cotton bids fair to be much better than the first--more of it, and of a better quality.
We have had no killing frost yet.
Our District Court has adjourned, after a session of four weeks--one man sent to the Penitentiary for horse-stealing, and three negroes condemned to be hung for murder.
A wealthy man in Burleson county, who has frequently been indicted for branding cattle not his own, was tried and acquitted at Gald well last week, but was taken out that night and hung to a tree, close to the Court-house door.
Of course, nobody done it.
Breckinridge has carried this State by about thirty thousand.
The "Lone Star" floats above almost every village and town in the State.
A large and enthusiastic mass meeting was held in the Court-house in Brenham last Saturday, and was addressed by Judge Oldham, Col. Lewis, and C. B. Shepherd, Esq. They unanimously passed resolutions requesting Gov. Houston to convene an extra session of the Legislature at once, to make preparations for coming events, and requesting all Federal officers to resign on or before the 1st of March next; and that the Collector at the port of Galveston, and the Mail Agent, be requested to resign forthwith.
After the resolutions were adopted, three cheers were proposed for South Carolina and three times three for the "Lone Star" flag, and, amidst the roaring of cannon, the shouts of the multitude, and the flying of hats, the meeting broke up in the wildest excitement.
All the little boys wear the blue star.
The K. G. C.'s are numbered here by thousands.
The South may rely on Texas being as true as steel. S. W.
