We learn from Col. J. 7. lockwood, who has
Just returned from q trip through portion Of
Eastern Iexas that the cotton crop is turning out
weeks since that stock are looking fne. with an
abundance Of grass for winter consumption
We learn from Mr. Lauton, Assistant Engineer
on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad that this
road is now completed over fifty miles, from Lib
erty to east of the Neches. The track is being laid
beyond, and the remaining distance to Orange, on
the State line, being about fifteen miles, will be
completed In three or four weeks. The grading
laying of the track will be commenced by the end
of the month. The work Of track laying is now
waiting only for the completion of some of the
heaviest bridging. The entire road from Houston
to the State line win probably be completed by the
middle of January.
Mr.. Lauton also informs US that the Eastern Texas
road is progressing rapidly, and will be completed
from Sabine Pass to Beaumont by the time the
Texas and New Orleans road will be completed to
Houston; and as the two roads intersect each
other at Beaumont, connection is then made, SO
that passengers and freight will be transported be-
tween Sabine Pass and Houston in two or three
months time.
Col. Baylor delivered an address to the people Of
Galveston few evenings since, on the condition
of the northwestern frontier at the close of which
the following incident took place:
Mr.. Armstrong, our well-known bookseller, then
came on the platform, holding neat mahogany
box: and, addressing Col. Baylor brief but hand
name of nnmber of citizens of Galveston, with
the box and its contents, an expression of their
sympathy with their felloWcitizens the frontier
and their admiration for his volunteer services in
its defense.
"Open it, Colonel; open ftl' was the general
call 4; and the Colonel, though much surprised al
this friendly attack, obeyed orders. The contents
of the box proved to be an ivory handled Colts
| revolver of the latest make with the implements
appertainng to it. The Colonel held it poised fol
| a moment; then, promising to use the weapon in {
manner not to cause its donors disappointment, hs
said he would in return, send the citizens of Olives
| ton present. an Indian shield he had taken three
months ago in hand to hand conflict, ornamentet
| with the bright, sunny locks and scalp of youns
| American woman, SO that when they saw it, they
could appreciate the condition Of the frontier.
