fa1*atTHE BRAZORIA COxMPANY FOR CALIFORNIA.—Some of our Brazoria friends may be pleasedto see the following letter:Fredericksburg, April 25,1849. \eJudge James Love: *My dear Sir—Knowing your anxiety to hear from ( 1 I us, I take great pleasure to inform you we arrived here on the 22d in safety, all well and in gOod spirits. ] We assembled ourselves together to-day, organized (5 and appointed David S. Terry, Without opposition our Captain or director. We are about 40 strong, all Texians. There are two more companies here, one* from Louisiana the other from Missouri, about the samp strength. We set out to-morrow at 10 o’clock for El Paso, There are about 50 or 60 waggons, including another company from this State, that willleave in four or five days.About fifty Comanches came in to-day, to trade; and they state the route from here to the Choneho is practicable for wagons. This we bad previously learned from a Capt. Haney, who went out from Austin 15th March. They also state that there :s a trail from the Choneho to El Paso—and that there is no difficulty in getting on with our wagons. There are no mountains, but some mounds or bills that we can easily wind round. If this information be correct, we hope to get to El Paso with more ease than we anticipated. There are two companies of pack mules ahead of us and two sets of engineers; so I think, with ibeir land marks, we will be able to get on safe.Our animals generally have improved since we left, and :X .fully lieiev© they will get fat by the time we tel H Paso; if so we will climb the hills to the w$ftb*£d front.baa been unusually cold here for us~ pi*,, DteoKct wttto nua wg ETOfortable. The frost has killed allrrso they have to plant over.W. J. KYLE.
