Since nobody volunteered, and I understand why, I'll do a summary of the days I missed when I return, and only focus on Indian/abolitionist/secessionist issues.

I did a quick survey of the days ahead and found that more fires are started, more Indian attacks and more people are hung...In the Oct. 3rd issue I found this....

Affairs On The Texas Frontier.- ..."The road is lined with movers form the different frontier counties, who have at last determined to quit the country and seek protection in the older states, where they can at least know that they are free from the annoyances they have been subjected too."

Another great hurricane hits New Orleans area, great loss of life, buildings destroyed, much damage from wind and flood; forty-nine coal barges sunk; railroad destroyed.
