Mexican Gulf Raiiroaa. - We learn, from a
late number of the Western Texan. that the citizens
OF Bexar county pushing forward the project of
a railroad from the city of San Antonio to the
Gulf, with perseverance and energy highly com
mendabe. The city and county have subscribed
each $50 ,0O0 making 100000; and the individ-
ual subscription amounts to nearly as much more,
and will in short time amount to nearly $300,0OO,

up with industrious and energetic people, and tn.
only drawback to their prosperity is the want o
proper facilities for conveying their produce tt
market, which will be amply afforded them BY
this road. Houston (Texas) Beacon.
