FROM TExAs-By the arrival yesterday after
noon of the steamship Perseverance, we received
papers from Galveston to Saturday last The News
has the following paragraphs:
We have what We believe to be reliable information,
that the Brazos is again up and navigable. We also
hear vague report that the Trinity is out of banks
places; but this is not to be depended on as gen
tlean who left Cairo the 18th inst, reports that
there was no perceptible rise when he left.

mngated by the parties interested in this road, are

Marshall that taco or three thousand hands will be
put upon the road the coming spring and that opera

and the State line The route of the road covers that
l. designated for the Pacific Railroad, and it is stated
that contract for the construction Of one hundred
II miles has been let to responsible parties.
o On Friday night, Miss Ada Bronough, d lady o
y seventeen, stepdanghter of DR.. Stone, committed
n suicide in Galveston by taking strychnine.

most urgent issue of the present time and that they
will support only such candidates for State officers as
are opposed to the Kansas bill and to Known Nothing
