Larry, for the express purpose of confer
ring with the merchants, and eudeavOr-
ing, If possible, to arrange for the estab-
lishment Of a line Of regular steamers be-
tween Galveston and the Sabine river.
Up freights to Shreveport are now 81 80
per barrel, and cotton is brought out at

tisement elsewhere, why persons should
travel on the Olive Branch. They are
good ones.

but all the men seen standing at Our
street corners and AROUND saloons, are
candidates for Office.
