'in this edition we present the publio with 16 pages or 112 columns of matter pertaining exclusively to the state of Texas.

If printed in book form with ordinary good readable type, it would make an octavo volume ot nearly 200 pages, as large a book indeed as is usually printed in that form. To gather together so much data, work it up and issue in the manner we have done, is as may be conjectured, no small affair. It has taken time and labor and money to throw a mammoth edition of such character to the curious public, and It is a source of gratification to us to teel as it goes to press, that in the short time we have had and the often imperfect data we have ha I to ttoly. arrange and place, In its right place and attractive shape, we have done as much as we have. To write up properly and accurately so great a state as Texas, With its 274.0J0 square miles, its 200 couo ties nearly, and the diversity of its climate, soils at Industries, is indeed a herculean and difficult work, and one that many would suppose was altogether impossible to the ordinary newspaper establishment How weak we have succeeded In this in stance the public must judge from the work given them.

It is not by declamation or assertion, not by good intentions and fair promises that a maq's work is to bs estimated, but by the work itself. This is the second September edition we have issued, and although disadvantages have been labored ander, we have attempted to present this year a more extended and comprehen sive, a more 'accurate and useful picture than was given by us last year, or than bas yet been given by any journal of our won derful state. To appreciate rlchtTjlly -wbU Texas li it be vieve.l from many ataiulEcints. mn.t be seen throughout. To speak of any one feature, however fully treated to look at it trom one point of view, to investigate any one of Us myriad fea tures, is to roe it very imperfectly and only In part.

There is no state In the American Colon where thorough knowledge of it in Its entirety is so neosssary to understand It intelligently and appreciate its manifold attractions, its present greatness, its pact rapid grow Uh and Its Vast possibilities. Tbe world, however, Is carious now, and has for years been to get hold of information sufficiently full and conveniently grouped and arrange 1 that will give aa Idea of Taxes aa a whole, that will treat of all there is ia or about it, to that just what it la may be truthfully told and accurately known. Ia this edi ion we have endeavored to supply this demand, to give Texas to the world from very point of view and In full. Of coarse too much attention eottld not be hestowed apoa minala, unimportant particulars or illustrations when a repreeeota-tiv (ar would aDrverall purnosee and roa-yy the iofo-mation sought. Ia tnch an edition and with each aa empire as Its subject, it woaid be as impossible, astuperfla-sos that to raaslfy aad enlarge.

As it is. however, by Judicious culling, groupings, oeepi.stioce and select one, we have given f.xaa aa tt ie textay not forgetting te draw the contrast between the present and tbe aft. Ia pursuance ef our ortcinal pla. tbere'-e we have pi eertite 1 the state politically, rof-irally, phvsieelly, socially and ommrHa'rr tofrtber with He climate. and the Cac.liti'-S far reaching and traieliBieerlt.

To do this no pains have beea spared by us. Our own special agents have been sent through the state, going over every seotion of it at great expense, and consumption of time and the expenditure of labir, and have gathered up the data which have been again carefully revised and prepared for publication in tbe offices of the Hbbald. In addition to this we have laid the officers of the state and county offloials tributary to us, and in this way have obtained all such matter as was not gathered by our own men so that all of it may be relied upon as striotly accurate, or as nearly so as can be obtained within tbs borders of tbe state to-day by anyone in any possible enterprise. To pursue with anything like perseverance and consistency, such ft broad plan as originally detetmlned on would necessarily require a vast amount of data, and If Inaccuracies or errors occur, it must be set down to want of time in sifting and classifying the data. A mass of matter has necessarily been left over owing to the late hour of Its arrival at our office, and mush has proven valueless in consequence of tbs manner of its compilation.

The subjects nnon which the major part of such data treated, however, have been written np trom other authentio information thereon in our possession. In a word, the state has been liturally ransacked, and what has been learned bas been given forth In a manner In all cases which seemed most fitting to us and best calculated to bring Out most prominently those facts under the various heads, about which there was the greatest interest and Inquiry. As before stated the subject proposed, which was Texas, has been viewed and treated from very tonctirable 'UnOpoict of general interest to the public, and first In imparlance and that about which there have been so many conflicting rumors is Its POLITICAL COSDITIOS. In discussing the state politically we have pursued an entirely ne plan, striving to give upon so weighty a matter the very best and most authentio information possible of being obtained. It would have been comparatively easy to write up tbe political condition of Texas eareelves, making such declarations as we chose, and dwelling at such length as we eboee npoa the state government, the various departments, the manner In which they were run and the status of affairs within oar borders at the present time, hot had we done this many might have questioned our statements Id the first place and la the second our remarks would have been entitled to DO more credence) than those of some oae else who, equally honest, might have yet taken altogether a different view of affaire.

Irresponsible atterancee are plentiful, both in the streets and ly the press, and political affiliation too often colore so highly the criticism that truth (rafters. With these reflections ia mind and la order that the world might take an-hesitatingly oar political write ap of Texas as tbe actual condition of thing, we have published tbe official reports of the beads of tho various departments themselves under oath and the great anal of the state of Texas. They have bees, it is true, condensed to toon extent to suit the present purpose, but what bas beea given is strictly official, Oae of the chief subjects of ia- qsirjt and of eeperial rnter to both tbe citlrea and the strst rrr i as to the ral eonlit i of a Mate, what i's depart-1 menu and gorernmeiit. financial conditio. how poMir efaire adrntniterei and I tbe exact states of thing.

I8TOBIOAl The history of Tsxas has been often writ' ton, but each separate historian has per mitted his personal predilections to color his Judgment, until after all it is difficult to obtain an history of the state.

It is a subject, however, In which every one is interested, and many would like to have It In such a condensed form that its proml nsnt facts might be glanced at without the loss of time required to wade through all extended and voluminous work. to the form and prosperity of the govornment under which he is living, the citizen is in terested in its history. In this issue we give a historical sketch of Taxes, brief, easily and quickly read, where the salient and more important facts are touchod upon only, and yet sufficiently full to show what the state has had to encounter in its march of clviliza tlon and political development, and usefal as a reference sketch. Its stately stoppings can be seen from the days of tbs Spaniard and savags, when the crucifix and the sword went band in band, and the yell of the plains' Indians startled the peons and sbook the old missions, up to the present, where the bum of busy industry and the whistle ot the iron horse have proclaimed a new and happier and era. The sketch has been carefully compiled by a competent band, and may be depended upon as in every way authentic raTsirAt raaTl'Bis.

The tout question ot impotence is if iouros the physical condition of the slots, what its surface formation, Its toll, its pro. ductiveness, climate, etc These features have been dwelt upon at length in tbe account which will be found in these columns of the oountiee of the state. As elsewhere remarked, they have been so les ted with special reference to their representative character, and those written up, by referring to tbe map of Texas, will be found scattered all over the state. Not a section theiin but is represented la all its general physical features by one or more oountiee In the list which we give. From tbJsVtiet it is possible to koow accu rately and thoroughly just what Texas is physically.

In treatiag these counties ws have given tbeir chief products, climate, soils, occupstioos, situation and other general feat urea, and it wtli bs Impossible to find in Tsxas other prodaota, or soils, or climate than are detailed la the accounts of tbe counties published. In short, they are Texas. Supplementing this ie an interesting and exhaustive communication Iron the pen of rrofeaaar Camming, one of the beet known and most competent geologists ia th southwest, oa tbe minerals of Texas aod the surface formation of tbe soils, as well as the geological history of the state. From these and other source found ia the columns of this edition, the many and at' tractive physical features of Texas, can be learned with ease, and tbe Information depended upon, as it all emncs from personal enquiry and reei-arch by competent parties upoa tbe spots referred to. It is doubtful if any otLer part of tbe world, tbe same nasober of ronnties, c-rv4 be selected at random that would begin to compere with tbuee of bicb an account it here given, in aluvrity of elimate.

So man ei'i'l to go to or remain In a state or section that Is popularly denominated dead, where trade is dull and money scarce, and open lngs and opportunities few.

It Is therefore to leave the characters of Uamlet out of the play, to speak oi a town or state and neg leet to sptak of Its commercial status. In this respect we have attempted to give to the public complete data touching tbeoom-mercial activity and prosperity of Tsxas, Such information will be autid in the accounts widen we preseut of the towns of Texas. An efiort was mads to give full commercial data on every town of any consequence in the state, and we have been in the main successful, but in many instances It was lound to be impossible even in the towns themselves to get anything sufficiently authentio to publish, aud for that reason many are omitted. Where such data, however scant, could be oh tained it has been done, and the result is published In these col umus. The list as we now give it comprises every tow oof any consequence or commercial importance on all the dif ferent lines of road, with many that as yet have no railroad facilities.

The accounts will be found to give the location, popula tlou and general appearance and aJvan tageeof the town, with its exports, imports and sales of merchandise, thus showing ti condititlon and degree of activity aud ex tent of business therein, from which its commercial health and importance may bo at once inferred, What Is given is of uourse tu a condensed torm, but wttu tulhcisut expllcitness to afford an intelligent conception of where and what the towns are. It is these as centres of course that the products, monev, bnains of the state art) handed tnd v.lutths t.Mmi tij 'ng, from the humble hamlet to tucl.Uimg city, is what tbe state is doing from com mercial standpoint. The data given have been collected mainly by our own traveling men, as before suggested, carefully reviewed afterwards, so that so far as they go tlisy present none but a faithful picture of tbs trade of tbe towns to which tbsy refer. After thus presenting the state politically, histori cally, physically aud commercially. Tbe next subject ot Interest aod inquiry is tbs SOCIAL COM DITIOS of the people.

For years, onfertanatelr, Texas bas beea regarded by tbe rest of the world as the home of tbe outlaw and the border ruffian, and many bare feared to cross its borders under tbe idea that their lives and property would not be enJie. It bas been useless to declare to the world that it was mistaken, that crime was committed here only as committed ia any other portion of tbe country, with the tame extent ot population, but la ne greater proportion and with no mere impunity, and that Isw and order reigned as supremely from the Iodiaa Territory to tbe ruf, and from IOuitiana to the vHem border, ae In In diana and Ohio. 11' denials have been discredited, and even yet tbe opinion lingers as a firm eonvi-iton in he greater portioa of tbe t'nion. notaiihstsMing onrrvrent tremendous influx of capital and popula tion, tbat Texas it a "tlark aid boorv J'o ttea tret tooujutly ay. cued.

And trea on th-'i-r-ie Vr- COMPARATIVE RAILMY MILEAGE OF THE STATES. We have prepared the accompanying diagram In order to present clearly to tbe eye the relative position of the different states and territories of the United States in respect to the miles of railway within their borders, on January 1, 1882, using the figures as reported by Poor's Manual. The figures at the slds Indicate the order of Importance in this respect, although it Is an exceedingly changing order and the newer states and territories are every year pressing forward and taking the places of their elder sisters. Thus old Massachusetts, in which the first mile of railway track in the country was laid, now stands l'Jth in the scale of mileage, while Illinois, whioh was a lavage wilderness long after railways were in operation in tbe east, now leads the Union, as she has done for several years, in the magnitude of her rail way system. Next Id the scale, though nearly 1,700 mile behind, oouie Pennsylvania and Ohio close together.

New York, the old empire state, stands fourth, followed closely by Iowa, while Texas, the now empire of far greater proportions, is already sixth and will soon forgo ahead perhaps to tbe very front. ThuB tar only one state has 8,000 miles, four have over 0,000 and less than has between 5,000 and 6,000, three run between 4,000 and 5,000 three between 3,000 and live between 2,000 and thirteen between 1,000 and and seventeen have less than 1,000 miles. Tbe state smallest In urea. Rhode Island, with only 1,300 square miles, is also smallest in extent ber the Texas rangers, famous the Union over, have succeeded in so demoralizing and oowsring tho lawless element that an outbreak is the rarest thing in the world. No one can read tho written columns with the tale they tell of activity, industry, prosperity, schools, churches, railroads and telegraphs, everything to civilize and soflen that New England or Europe has, and long-ger feel that Texas the home of the outlaw and the scene of lawlessness.

BAILBOAUH. Tas map, or diagram, which we publish above, tells a startling tale, and one which but ftw people art prepared to believe, and the story is a true one. Texas is the sixth state In the Union In railroad mileage. The only states ahead of her are New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania Ohio and Iowa. 8ix or eight years back and there were comparatively no lines of railway in ths state, the vast domain being traveled on horseback.

Now, from center to circumference, in every imaginable direction, stretches the railway. Within the last three or four years upwards of 2,000 miles of road have been built, representing an actual outlay in our midst, at the lowest calculation, $10,000 per mile, of It Is nearer or $40,000,000. This extensive building bas done more than bring great amounts of rnpitnl into Texas and fur-nlfh highways for the shipment ot tbe products and live-stock ol tbe state. Its chief pood lies In tbe fact that it has, opened up to civilization almo.t countless thousands of acres of and reclaimed them from tbe savage and outlaw and placed thereon the honest toilers who art already causing what, but a while back was ths dnert, to blorscm as a res. lpoy ivcuoutlcd ie inhtt'vj ibn of tie state and opened up the rich and pastures of Mexico to us.

The International has crossed the I IC' OraS'Je at Laredo and the Texas 4 Pacific to.ithed ths old home ol the MonUuautas at El Paso, and as a consequence wealth and mutcle and population are pushing westward and developing a hitherto almost terra incognita. Tbe railroad sytem of Texas is as- suming gigantic proportions, and before auol her decade will be the most extensive and among the most important oa the continent. Ae it Is, aday'a ride will now carry one anyvnere ne may tbotee to go ever state, either west, east, north, cr south, and even obecure towns and coun ties can be reached easily aioat anywhere by lap tinea of gn ater or minor Tlie state has received a new impetus Iron this tremeoitoui railroad bnlldinr and the sentiment of unity, aud the iaterecarse between the tieretofure distant sections has beea inteai6ed and heightened by bring ing each other into such close aod intimate connections. Two great line rae north and aoutb throaet tbe state, the Houston A Texas Central and Culf, Colorado at Santa Fe, stretching from Ue northern to tbe soothers boundary, and having braih lines leading ont ewt and nt along tbeir ro lies.

While it is convenient to take January 1st as a common starling pout, and this is the latest date to which Poor's manual brings its record, yet the rapid growth of railway extension hai already changed the figures here given. Since tbe year began mors than 5,000 miles of track have been added, and figures, which we have already published, show that in some cases the relative positions of the states have changed, Illi.

nois still stands at tbe top with about 8,500 miles, while Ohio has changed places with Pennsylvania, and now stands second. Iowa has almost overtaken New York, but will hardly reach her this year, though Texas, which on July 1st had over 6,000 miles, Is not uatiiely to take trio fifth place. Colorado has already changed places with Nebraska, and Dakota has stepped ahead of Kentucky and will rapidly go still nearer to the front, while the great territories now far In the rear will also more steadily up in tbe scale. Of course, when the proportion between area and railway mileage is censidcred, the oi ler states are vr.ally ahead, but it is this fact which makes tbe possibilities of the new states and territories so great. Railway building in tho greater part of the country has only Just begun, and every year tho course ofitu empire is moving westward.

our railroad system is simply in its infancy, the building and development have just commenced. It is more than likely that'we will have 8,000 or 10,000 miles in operation in this state by 1800. We have, therefore, by reason of its imparlance, dwelt upon the subject at much length in our accounts of the roadb. We have attempted to give a faithful account of each of the lines from which data could be obtained, but owing to negligence ou the part or official of come the roads who were solicited to furnish us with such data as wero desired, some are not treated as fully as their prominence aial Importance would seem to demand. What is given will be found invaluable to the ImmijTsnt and stranger in selecting routes -td their destination as welt as to numbers of citizens of thi vtate who huve failed to keep up with the march uf tht day.

Huc items referred to are the raising of euttle and cotton, the two great industries of the siiilf, tufrether with other productions; a description of the various grand divisions of tl state wilh their peculiar features and products, an Intereiting account of I he new citpltid building aud other matters centum-ing UKefu! information as to Texas.
