tial elements ofpcrmanentpros
ity which any city can possess, con-
sists in the manufacturing enters
prises which it supports, We can
conceive of no city in Northorn
Texas whichis so favorably located
and SO well adapted to schemes Of
this sort as Dallas. SO far as tim
Der and metals are concerned, it is
true that VIC are not yet ready to
invite any large number of arti-
sans whose calling it is to engage
in the exclusive man ufactury Of ar
ticles which require extraordinary
facilities in these particulars, but
| this disadvantages destined to DO
Of short duration. The rapidly
increasing railrosd facilities which
are being concentrated at this point,
particularly from the Wichita
Mountains, from whence metals Of
all kinds will be brought TO us by
the road now tnder the supervis-
ion Of Major Calder, and who will
press its construction to II rapid
completion, and from the southern
terminal Of the same road, from
from whence the finest timber on
the continent can be shipped in
quantities sufficient to meet every
demand, will obviate all such OBJ
stacles. With iron and wood at
our disposal, we can readily pro-
gress into tho mandatory of all
the articles and implements which
the wants Of our people require.
There is one thing, however, which
we are ready to begin, and ono
thing, too, which, if properly pros
ecuted, must give to Dallas an i'm
portance second to no place in the
| Southwest. We allude 10 the ex.
cellent inducements which are af-
forded here for the profitable in
vestment of capitol in Touring
mills. There is wheat enough rails
cd in this section of country al
ready to supply the homo demand
and leave q surplus for cxporta-
ton, five give to the farmers
The additional advantage ola ready
market it will induce them to plant
upon larger scale their annual
crops OF wheat, and thus afford to
any person or persons engaging
in the Touring business every adj
vantage to monopolize great
trade from Southern markets. We
can place new -four in New Orleans,
and even as far off as Savannah
end Charleston, from six weeks to
two months earlier than can be
supplied by the st. Louis m ills.
There is no reason Why this par
ticular section Of country, should
not supply Mississippi and Lousi-
ana with all the -four CONSUMED in
those States. The construction of
the Texas & Pacific railroad, which
! will give ns direct communication
with tho Mississippi riyerand with
the line of railroads running east
from Vicksburg on to the Atlantic
coast, will open up most desira-
BILE highway rthc transportation
of all tho -four ordered from
tile East, while the Texas Central
would convey to the Southern por-
ton Of our own State .magnifi-
cent trade, which is now u total
loss to US, Notwithstanding the dor
mant claims which we have upon
!. it. We have heard that the Eleva-
tor Company contemplated the
erection of d flour mill in !connec-
Etion with their ware house, and
trust that such is their, inten tion.
This great interest cannot long re-
main in its undeveloped state ;
capitalists already have Their cal
culations made, and arc waiting
for the favorable season in which
to begin the practical application
of their designs We nllassure
oil such that delay is useless and
that money invested ip enterprises
so essential TO the wants and re-
Iquiremeuts ofthis country, will
