have found throughout my travels, a gen.

grand emporium of trade and when the ques.
ton Of railroads is mooted, which is the topic
increasingly and uniiringly discussed, the grand
ultimate object centres ever on the same poin.
the reaching of Galveston for commercial
purposes, as the haven of their hopes. Strange

whutthey can do All over the country,
cards and advertisements Of the merchants of
Houston are indus,riousy circulated; their bu-

are continually being spread and forced into
notice; while Galveston is known only by her
natural advantages, and the desire OF he people
for better acquaintance.
Small traders VINO supply themselves from
home markets, will naturally suppose, from the
