Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1865-03-30

nB-We are pleased to learn from the
Austin Gazette that the work of building
che telegraph line from Houston to Austin
and San Antonio is progressing very favor
ably. 1t appears that there are two COM
panies that are making arrangements for
the line--onc, the old South Western Teie-
graph Company who, we believe, own all
The line in Texas West of Crockett and an
other represented by Mr.. W. F. Osborne.
Tho Gazette hopes that arrangements Will
be consummated by which the two compa-
nies NAV blend their interest and construct
. single line. from Houston to the Rio
Grande. At all events, between the two,
the line will certainly be built. The Ga
settle man congratulates himself thereupon,
and says:
ave are gratifed to learn that this line
will, in all probability, be in operation by
che LIST of July, when we will furnish our
readers with tn. latest news daily, and is-
sue a tri weekly paper rs here oiore, with
che exception that We will publish the news
At the same time that it is published in
Houston. We have been waiting for some
zine for something to turn up that wcull
enable us 10 nfuse new life and vigor into
our paper, which had come nigh dying
natural death. and we hail. with much sat
is5action, this new era, in the way of news,
about to dawn upon us
The Gazette adds, in another paragraph
ave Travelled with Mr.. W. I. Osborn 1.-THE
gentleman alluded to in another paragraph
IN this paper as about to construct iele-
eraph line from Hampstead to San Antonio,
ana thence 10 the Rio Grand) from Austin
70 New Braunfels, and were much gratitied
20 fini such n disposition manifested along
the line TO aid and sustain the enterprise.
Nearly all the gentlemen we called upon
On this route, readily agreed to furnish
bolcs free ofany charge, and as Mr. Osborne
Is prepared TO commence the work at once,
and has the wire aud instruments now on
sbe way 10 Mntamoros, there is no doubt,
unless some unforeseen accident occur,
that we will have the line in operation be-
tween San Antonio and Austin by the LIST
July. We hope the company represented
by Mr. Daniels will be equally successful,
on the rouIe between Austin and Hemp
stead. and that when tie two lines meet
there will be no necessity TO extend either
OF them any further. In fact, we can see
no object that could be accomplished by do
ing SO, but on the contrary, If such an ar
rnppcment should be mutually agreed upon,
Nj. Osborne will be able to extend the line
20 the Rio Grande much sooner thus giving
Us direct connection from our extreme wes-
slrn border TO Camden by telegraph, and by
ccuriers with the balance of the COnfedrr-
scy. We understand that the Trans Allan
tic Telegraph Company have made arrange
N. n,s 10 build lines from the City Of Mex
Geo 10 the capitals all the Mexican States
which would at once place us in direct COM
enunication with the Pacific coast. We re-
enrd this undertaking as one Of the great
Get importance 10 the Confederacy at this
sime, end are glad 10 find our citizens are
(uiiy alive 10 the benefits that will arise
from IL, both in military point Of view,
o. vel 40 in regard 20 the transmission Of
ktst and private dispatches. The qnes-
a,on @! will il psy' is not considered ey
she buildeIs, and no one is solicited 10 take
euy sictk, bat the enterprise will be put
txfoush by those who have esasdsnes IN
tv rtsullt.
