We find the following items in the Indianola
Bulletin Of the 2Sth;
The Masonic Lodge Of Indianola celebrated
st Johns day on Friday last. A procession Of
80 members moved from the Hall to the church,
where an address, brief but we'll conceived, was
made by s T. Sewell, Esq,
During the past week we have had numerous
ref; eshing showers, repleni.hing the cisterns
and reyiving vegetation. Crops are said to
promise well in the interior An abundant
yield Of corn, sugar cane and cotton is expected.
We are PANEL to announce the death of Mr.
Charles J Mitchell, editor Of the Victoria Al
vocate lie died at Port Layaca yesterday,
from injuries received in attempting to dive from
the wharf where it was too shalos Mr. VI.
was worthy and promising man.
We also learn that Mr. George ". Murphy,
timer, was drowned at Port Lavaca last week

appears that the San Antonio railroad is not
likely to be completed at an early day The
Bulletin says;
! Mr. Jones, Of San Antonio, one Of the con
tractors to build this road, left for the North
some days since. II seems from the contract,
that Jones and Devne, who took the contract
to build the road at the round sum of 81 100
per mile, are to take in pay the bonds of the
company for nearly the whole amount perhaps
four -fiths-the remainder to he paid in cash
by the company. The company, OF course, never
can pay even this one fifth unless private stock
holders pay in enough to raise the amount and
Of this 1t appears there is no prospect, as the
large landhoders, who took the most stock, now
refuse to pay up, the San Antonia papers
say IN consequence we suppose, Of the contract
having been let at double Col Johnson's esti
mate of the cost, and hence want of confidence
in its success. We have little doubt that the
same cause will have the same effect on the
county subscriptions. At any rate, it is now
perfectly plain that the only real dependence Of
ones x Devine, is the hope Of selling the bonds
Of the company in the North to raise the money
with which to build the road and this, we
presume, is the mission Of Mir. Jones North
