Our Railroads and Prospective
Trade.

We lave convcrsed with gen
tlcman well informed as to the
present progress of our railroads
lie informs us that tho whole cX-
tent of the two roads now compile.
ted &Nd in operation by the Central
Railroad Company, is 22O miles,
and that by October next, 10 miles
more will be in operation, making
30 in all. That is, the Ar Lire
will reach Austin by that time, and
the Central will have its terminus
ut Corsicana about tho same time.
The Central ID now taking goods
for Paris, Lamar county, and. bring
ing cotton from the same county IN
return. AS Lamar county is on
Fed River, the Central has there
fore reached ~ point .(Groesbeck
far enough to turn the Red rive-
trade in this direction, In another
year, that is, by Jure 1872, tho
Central will reach Dallas on tho
Trinity. BY October next the In
ternational will also reach the Trim
ity near Palestine, while the Great
Northern will be completed to the
same river near Newport, or War
ner's Landing, by January next 1T
is we'll for our people to be appraised
ofthc rapid progress now aklng
il railroad construction in our
State, in order that they may be
prepared tor the gTpnt change chat
will be effected ib .He course and
amount of trade and in the value OF
lands and othe3 property in the
vicinity of railroads. By the time
the last three roads Eamed reach the
Trinity, that is, within six or nine
months, they viii divert a large
portion of tho trade of Northern
Texas to this rQint, ind within the
next two years ve%y nearly the
whole of that trade Will be turned
in this direction, amounting to. at
least one hundred thousand hales
of cotton, besides q vast amount OF
wool, hides, etc, which have always
heretofore gone to New Orleano. by
Red river. 1t shonld be borne in
mind that tho International con-
meets with the Central at Ilearne,
and proceeds thence direct to the
northeastern corner of Texas, and
must. of course, be a feeder to the
Central, and turn large trade from
that scc.ion Of the State to Houston
and Galveston. The roads coming
to Texas from Kansas will doubtless
have the effect to reduce frcights
by thci. competition with roads
coming to our coasts, but while shey
may, and will, doubtless, have n
profitable trade in cattle, they never
can take the important article of
cotton from our own ports. On the
contrary, we have no doubt these
roads; when in connection with the
roads from our coast, will bring a
large trade in cotton ara other pro
ducts to our own seaperts, from the
Indian Territory Arkansas and
upper louisiana. =

Lee had had the defence Of France
in the late war, with q hundred
thousand If the men commanded in
the Virginia campaign, he would
have easily driven Won MoItlie and
his Germars out of the country ?
There can be no little doubt that
this was said by some distinguished
general, rs it is vouched for by Sc
veral, vor$ feIiabIc correspondents,
and is altogether consistent and
probable With known historical
facts. ThS story that MoIlke had
described .he campaigns in Virginia

NEW BOATS.

Among the arrivals on Monday and |
yesterday there were nine new boat. The |
fret 10 arrive was small stern wheeler
called Laura and as she passed down |
without landing We can not say what trade
she was built for, but judging from her
size, she is probably intended for some
small stream.
The Clifford passed down and did no,
land. She is about the same kind of boat
u. the Laura.
The ST. Mary is a medium stern wheeler
and is intended for the Bayou Teche trade,
for which she is well adapted
The next one to pass down without
landing was small stern wheel boat
called the John Scott, about the same kind
of a boat as the Laura and Clifford.
Next comes the Texas, also q stern
wheeler, built for some Of the southern
streams, and from her appearances, she is
a good boat.
The San Juan IL small boa, Of about
300 tons capacity, and was built TO run in
the Rio Grande river.
The new towboat built at Cincinnati for
the Mississippi Valley transportation COM
psny, named Crescent City, is a splendid
and powerful looking craft. Her dimen-
sions are as follows: Length, 100 feet
width, SO feet. She has boiler 40 inches
In diameter and 20 feet long; cylinders,
20 inches, 8 feet stroke, with balance
valves ssteam capstans donkey pumps,
etc. Her cabin is very fine and roomy.
She is very high between decks. She
was visited by large number of our citi-
zens, who pronounced her us complete
towboat as ever was built. She is waiting
for the Bee to arrive with her tow, when
she will depart for the city after which she
is called.

The CAIRO AND ST.. LOUIS RAIL
RoAD.--Gen. Raum and Mitchell have told
every person with whom they have talked
on the subject of the Cairo and Vincennes
railroad, that there is no longer any doubt
that the road will be built as soon as men
and money can put it through. Gen.
Burnside sails for London to-day bearing
the necessary documents to ratify in full
the provisional contract heretofore made
by him with parties who have not only
agreed to furnish the money to build the
road, but are also amply able to do SO.
The Harrisburg Chronicle, published at
Gen. Raums home, says: "Gcn. Win
slow will have the supervision of the con-
struction of the road, although it is highly
