We copy the following from the

Texas Will have a surplus of not
less than 100000 bushels OF wheat
this year, as well as near lo,Ooo.oO0
bushels OF corn, if nothing breaks up
the present prospect. Bacon bids fair
next winter to b. abundant at Q cents
and vet if the blockade continues,
the people of New Orleans will be
hungry. Why! Because they are
not sharp enough to build a prairie
railroad of 100 miles in length. Well
if they are not, We shall have to let
them starve. We will furnish tn"
food, and have built the road half
way. Ii Is our share.
