The public will readily understand the

The financial panic, which has for the last
two months paralysod the business Of every
section of this country and Of Europe, has
prevented thousands nom inv> tng in tick
cts. The epideInics pervadine almost the
entire south have cut OF a large and availa.
bic market. And, too, the public judging
from the effects of these causes have expected
a and have declined TO invest
without a more positive assurance 81 the
drawing taking place on a fired day.
All interested desire a f~nlldrnwing; but for
the reasons just stated this could not be hnd
on the ID of December, Out tho short post

The management have met with unprece-
dented success. Tie sales of tickets. the pro-
cceds OF which have already been received,
amount to over q million dollars, with q
number of agencies In this country yet TO

Thus a drawing tscaiing the gifts one-haic
could be had now, bat tho management

The cause Of The killing grew out oI

IA the negro alleged, upon several
occasions before the fatal meeting last
night, threatened NOT only to take his

The receipts of cotton in Dallas for
the last few days are without precedent
in the interior Of Texas. Day before
yesterday over seven hundred bales
were received by wagons, and about US
large q number yesterday. There is
every reason to believe the receipts at
Dallas during the season will exceed
forty thousand bales. No one, in adj
vance, supposed the receipts would
exceed twenty thousand bales. But
the liberality of our merchants, the in
creased stocks of goods on hand, and
the low prices at which they are sold,
has had the effect of d ubling our
anticipated trade. The cheapness Of
living in Dallas-the great abundance
of breadstutis grown on the soil and
the wonderful concentration of BUSH
ness at this city, all combine to enable
the merchants of Dallas to offer better
bargains to the country than can be
had elsewhere, and hence it is that our
trade has surprised even u own
dealers.
All that is necessary to preserve and
continually augment this trade of Dali
las, is for our merchants and traders to
continue to deal fairly with the farmers
of North Texas, and that suitable pro-
vision Shall be made for farmers and
teamsters to find comfortable quarters
for man and beast when they stop
over night.
