Apropos to what We have said in another
column Oh the Importance of extending the
central railroad MS rapidly as possible to
the Northern line of the State, we now
learn that there is movement on foot to
extend the Llyenworth, Lawrence and
Fort Gibson railroad through the Indian
>ouutry ~ Galveston Bay. A corrcspon-
I,nG VI Tie Chicago Tribune says that at a
convention held Ia Ottawa, Kansas, it was
uEr,rl BY the County Commissioners to

SION OF aid Ia the road To the people along
III. line. Nc tGust to hear more of this
movement. Our railroad connection with
Chicago and the entire Northwest, is proba-
bly, not so distant MS many people imagine.
ln coming Southward, this road will meet
oar "Icu,ral' al the Northern boundary of
Texas, aud get to Galveston Bay much
soouer than it had expected. This railroad
connection, We rccollect, was discusse ed sew
crtI years before the war We believe it
will ultimately be realized. 1t is to be re-
rcubcrcd also, that there is to be direct
railroad connection between st. Louis and

The 6;h Regular Cavalry, formerly the
old 2nd while under the commend Of Gen.
Lee, has Just received hundred new re-
cruts, all of whom have served in the war
ms veterans. This regiment is now in splen-
did condition II was ordered to Texas o
short time ago, bu, is at present in camp
near Frederick, Nd.
The steamship Whitney, the first ola line
at steamers between New Rork and Gal
weston, met with an accident on the Sd day
out from New York, and returned for re-
pairs. The Trade Wind, the second steam
ship Of the line, left " Y. on the 2nd in
slant and is due in Galveston TO- day.
Ne also learn that two steamers of a
now line between Galveston and New Or
leans are now about completed by Harris &
Morgan, and win be in the trade by the last
of this month. One of these steamers will
be commanded by Captain John Y. Lawless
and the other by Capt. Charles Fowler

Upon the reading of the Declaration of
Independence at lpsilanti, Michigan by
citizen of that place, gentleman from the
rural d stricts made this comment: "Oh,
he read it we'll enough, but darned if be-
lieVc lie wrote it,
The interests of large portion of the
State, it not the whole of it, are immedi-
HtcIy involved in the vigorous and rapid
extension Of the Houston and Texas Cen
trail Railroad into the great wheat region
Of the state. The price of -four, in all
those portions Of the State where it is pur-
chased, in consequence Of the non produce
ton Of wheat, and in all those classes of
population not engaged in agriculture at
all is dependent upon it. Every man who
has 10 buy -four is directly interested in
the completion of this great work The
competition in our market between North
crn Texas Hour cannot materially lessen
the price of the article, because of the i'm
mense expense attendant upon the trans
portation of the Texas flour to market.
The same expense and difficulty are ex-
pcrienccd in transporting agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS, aud the mill machinery necessa-
rv 10 make good flour, into the wheat region
The completion of the railroad would rem
ody all these evils. More wheat, by far,
would be raised, because it could be brought
TO market easily, and soon turned into
money
Becoming cash commodity, more people
would turn their attention to it. Emigra-
ton would more rapidly pour into the wheat
region, the price of lands would rise, better
flour could be made, cheaper -four could be
bought, and the wealth of the whole coun-
Try would he increased
II is a miserable state of things when the
grain producing interiorof State is with
out railroad communication with its coast,
and its planting region. Where such
state of things exists, it is proof that the
right kind of enterprise and energy are
lacking. The late war will do for an ex-
cuse for awhile, but it will not do long.
The State Of Georgia was precisely in
this condition. until her great Estate Road
wa, built, aud 10! Georgia became the
Empire State of the South at bound
Railroads were built in every direction
Immense wealth was invested in the grain
regions, and returned immense profits
Lille, dull interior villages grew into
thriving towns, and commercial cities sprang
up in the wi derness.
Texas can beat all that, and all similar
enterprises in any Of the States, because
shc has more territory, a greater amount
and variety Of soil, and can support a larg-
or and more various industry.
The completion Of the Central Railroad,
particularly. and the completion Of the Gal
