n6- Capt. John, in noticing the move
ment in favor of the proposed route for q
railroad from vickbnrg to Guysmas by
way of Waco, very appropriately we think,
intimates that the natural route for the
Southern line 10 the Pacific would be from
New Orleans, by way of the Opelousss
road and Houston TO San Antonio and
Guayamas or Ma1atlan. He presents the
advantages Of this route in very forcible
manner,th leading point being thatit strike
tide water at last the practicable point
on the Atlantic side, and pluDges at once
through Mexico by the shortest and most
feasible route to the great Pacific Ocean.
We fully agree with our correspondent and
would add that the Yisksburg or Memphis
route would be more naturally tbrgugh the
upper or wheat regisn Of this siaie, inter
secting the lower route if At all, Al some

The TELEGRAPH Line.

We noticed last week the presence in our
town of Capt. W. G. Barrett, of Marshall,
in connection with the proposed building
of the telegraph line from Tyler TO Dallas.
Capt. d. spent several days here, during
which he presented the proposition of Mr..
greet that he did not meet with that en-
couragement which the importance of the
enterprise demands. AT the solicitation of
several Of our citizens he has consented to
leave the subscription list open, as indica-
ted in his address published below. We
hope that our people will consider the many
advantages arising from this project, and
call on the gentlemen named and aid and
encourage the movement. We have not
time or space to say more at present, but
will revert to the subject hereafter
TO THE CITIZENS OF DALLAS.
The proposition for the building of
line of telegraph from the town Of Tyler,
Smith County Texas, via Canton, Van
Zandt County, and Kaufman, Kaufman
County, to Dallas, Dallas County, with the
list, is in the hands Of Col.
g. W. Guess, Maj. T. c. Jordan and Capt.
John W. Swindells. The completion of this
line would connect Dallas with the outside
world, and rebound largely to her COM
mercial importancsa and material prosperity.
No one can fail to appreciate and desire the
success Of the enterprise, and all who can |
10 SO are solicited to come forward and |
lend their aid and encouragement.
H }ii W. g. BARRETT,
for WA. Wherry, Superintendent of Mar
shall and Tyler Telegraph Company.

tlemap named Anderson Key, here on q
visit, was coaxed into corner on Second

three negroes, who exhibited to him a
wooden box, about eight inches long by
two inches broad, covered with mud,
which they said they had found buried
in the ground, and knew il was full Of

Mr.. Key for the sriaing sum Of one hun
dred dollars; he, however, would only
give twenty dollars, which was finally
accepted, and the bargain made. Mr..
Key pulled out his pocket-book and took
therefrom twenty dollar note, which he
handed 10 one OF the darkies, who in
return handed him the box. As soon as
the sharpers had the money 10 their nm
gers, they scampered away, leaving the
country man in possession Of the gold.
He Immediately removed the cover oil
the mudstained box, and TO his great
surprise found nothing in II but mud"
He gave the alarm, and several negroes
who had observed the transaction fol.
