From Fortress Monroe.

FoRTREss MONROE, May l4.-It is un-
derstood, as the result of Secretary Nc
Culloch's visit. that President johnson
has directed the Surgeon of the Post to
make a special report of the health of
JEFF. Davis, as it is confidently said that
during the past twelve months the I'M
ceasing tramping and changing Of the
guards around his cell has prevented him
from enjoying at any time more than two
hours unbroken sleep,and that his health
is falling rapidly. he expressed extreme
pleasure when the news of his indictment
reached him, confident that speedy action
in his case will soon follow.

Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1866-12-22

The news is that the northern portion of
this State is receiving large accession to
its population from different parts of the
country. 1t is very important, therefore,
that the Gulf region should hurry up its
connections with that part Of the State
If we do not take care the northern trade
will be altogether and firmly diverted to the
Mississippi, Let some point or points out
side of the State offer Northern Texas the
first line of transportation, and it will be
exceedingly difficult to make change. If
we are first, however, and offer equal in
ducements otherwise, there can be no doubt
that the North will prefer TO trade with US.
1t has natural feeling of State pride, but
this will not be sufficient to overcome adj
vantages Of a practical nature offered out
side of the State Galveston Neps.
There is truth in every line of the above;
and therefore we have so often urged the
building of the railroad to Northern Texas.
We, of this section have some State pride.
We want to see our own home ports built
up by the trade of Texas; and this can be
done if we can get the railroads up to the
Northern boundry Of the State. But rail-
roads we must have to develope the hidden
resources of this fertile section and if they
first come to us from Louisiana or through
the Indian Territory, then the merchants of
New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis &C., will
receive the vast traffic of this region, TO the
exclusion of Galveston and Houston.
