The Daily Spy

A large number of Swiss and German immigrants have settled in Texas, within a few years, and a northern man, who has resided in Texas several years, asserts that an eighth of the last crop of cotton in that country was produced by these immigrants without the use of any slave labor. In addition to these, we learn from the Washington Union, that an association of Italians from their native country, have made arrangements for settling in Texas. There has been for some years a growing liberal party in Italy which would revolutionize that country, were it not surrounded by despotic governments. These immigrants are said to be men of liberal principles, who wish to breathe the air of a free country, and many of them possess considerable wealth. They will, says the Union, bring their families with them, and introduce into their new homes the arts of Italy, the cultivation of the vine and the olive, the manufacture of wine and oil, and if found sufficiently profitable, the raising of the silkworm and the manufacture of silk.
