FROM TEXAS: -- By the steamship Perseverance, Capt. Forbes, we have our
Texas exchanges. Galveston dates are to the 10th instant.
Mr. Dean, of Galveston, has received information of the arrival in Polk
County, of some families from Alabama who have been severely attacked
with cholera. The heads of the families are Hamlin H. Lewis, brother of
Dixon H. Lewis; Robert Scott, brother-in-law of Hamlin H. Lewis; John E.
Scott, nephew of Robert Scott, and Mr. Snow, all from Lowndes county,
Alabama, together with the negroes of the widow of Dixon H. Lewis - the
negroes in all numbering some 300 or 400. A letter to Mr. Dean, dated
Gold Springs, December 2nd, says: "One of the Alabama company, Mr. Snow
has died of cholera, together with eight or ten of his negroes." Mr.
Dean was also informed, from other sources, that Mr. Hamlin H. Lewis, Mr.
Robert Scott, and Mr. John E. Scott have also died of the same disease,
together with some 40 or 50 negroes, belonging to Mr. Hamlin H. Lewis,
Mrs. Dixon H. Lewis and Mr. Scott.
