Ea5" We learn from letters from our
friends in Millican, that the Central Rail
road will certainly be completed to Bryan
the new county seat of Brazos county, by
the time specified by act of the Legislature
LIST September next. We further learn that
three-and. a. half miles of the track is al
ready laid this side of Millican, and the
ties are down four miles further. Iron is
expected to arrive Immediately for ten
miles, and Col. Hutchins, the President Of
the road, is now at the North, contracting
for iron sufficient for the remaining dis
lance to Bryan. 1t is, therefore, a settled
fact. that the road will be in running order
by the 1st September-time enough for the
Fall importation of merchandise for the
interior. We hope then to hear Of un ad-
ditional section of this road being put I'M
der contract.
Already are the enterprising merchants
Of Millican branching out to the new de-
pof,-Bryan; among others, we see our
good friends, Hasw,ll & Son, are transact
ing business at both places. This house, so
long and favorably known to our UP coun-
try merchants, are always in the advance,
their warehouse will always be found at
the north end Of the Central road.

The IMMrGRATIoy hiLURE.-After eight
months absence from Texas, we have again
had the pleasure of meeting our friend Mr..
Thos. Atfleck, on his return from Europe.
We are glad to meet him in good health,
though we are sorry to learn that both he
and his wife had considerable sickness
while in England. Our readers have
learned, through his letters to the News,
that his labor for introduction of immi-
grants into Texas have resulted in failure,
owing to the want of the cooperation prom
Used him, and upon which he was wholly
dependent. He informs us that he had
applications from over three hundred per.
sons who desired to come to Texas, but had
not means of their own sufficient and re-.
quired more aid than Mr.. Atfleck was able
to furnish them. Our readers will, how
ever, probably hear from Mr. Affieck him

from the fatigues of his journey Galres-

Fanaticism VS.. Interest.

Every one familiar with current eveits
must be struck with the strange inconsist-
ency between the political and private
action of the Northern people. Politically,
they are seeking to crush the life out of
the South, while privately they are laboring
to build it up. Politically they are trying
TO make the Southern States desert, while
privately they show that they regard the
prosperity Of those States as a matter of
paramount Importance. Politically, they
force upon them policy which prevents
their recovery from the loses and wastes Of
the war, and individually they show an
anxiety that the Southern people should
prosper and grow rich. The Government
reduces the States to military provinces
and swings above the heads Of the people
the threat of confscation, thus erecting a
barrier against the influx ofboth capital and
population, both Of which are absolutely
essential to the rescue of the States and
people frc N the ruin which now stares them
in the face. On the other hand the repre-
sentatives of Northern commercial houses
are travelling every section Of theSouth and
are found in every town and city soliciting
trade and business. The people of the
North, as citizens, are eager for Southern
trade, yet at the same time, the policy Of
the Government tends directly TO the de-
struction of all trade by depriving the peo-
pie Of the ability to produce anything to
trade with. So long as the South is kept
in its present condition Of apprehension
and suspense; so long as the threat Of con-
fiscation is held over them; 30 long as there
is prospect that the negro element Of the
population is to be made the controlling
political influence, 50 long will the progress
Of the country be retarded, and 50 long will
the energies Of the pc pie be paralyzed.
II. at the close Of the war, the Govern
ment, with the eye Of sagaeiOus and far
seeing statesmanship, had considered the
interests Of the whole nation rather than
the means Of revenge, very different state
Of things from what we see to-day would
have been the result. The Impoverished
and desolafed South needed everything its
wealth had been destroyed and its labor
system overthrow. Il required capital,
population, and labor to revivify its Won
slerful productive energies, and these could
fouly be qkmxed with the certainty that

t%we had the pleasure Of call on
Thursday last, from Gen. A. B. Norton, who
has recently returned from Washington
City. He was passing through our town
on business. Gen. Norton has the mail
contract for the route from this place to
Marshall, and from here to Buchanan, be-
sides numbered other routes in Eastern
Texas. He informs us that IL is his inten-
ton, IL the roads are worked and creeks
bridged, to place line Of stages on the
route from here to Marshall twice q week.
Such line, we believe, would in a short
time, be profitable one, and we hope to see

LAND AND NEGROES following ex-
tract from a speech by Senator Wilson at
Norfolk may be taken as an Offset to the at
tempts of certain politicians who are en-
deavoring to persuade the negroes that if
they vote certain way they will receive
farms Us a compensation;
1.-THE freedmen could now be as indepen-
dent as any other people in the country, and
he thought their lot was quite as good as
that of their late masters. They had not
quite so much land as they had, but they
had not so many debts to pay. They must
be industrious, save their means, and let
the whiskey bottle alone. The Government
could not buy them farms, nor confiscate
private property without reason; but the
Government had 100000, 900 acres of land
open for actual settlers, and 100000
acres in the rebel States, divided into 80
acre lots, and those lands the colored people
could buy if they pleased for 81 25per acre
make their farms, and become independent
landholders."

have recently fallen in Gillespie and adj

look promising.
G. W. Kendall advises Gen. Sheridan to
reduce the standard of such Texas raised
horses as the government may require for
service on the frontier. He says the pres
ent standard is fifteen hands-that the
most of our horses which reach that heigh
are leggy, slabsided, ETC.; but that, at a
standard of fourteen and half, or little
under, the service can procure substantial
chunks of horses, able to pack any ordinary
weight, and keep on packing it-"beasts
