Railroad Communication With Texas.

Railroad Communication With Texas.
The Houston correspondent Of the Calves
ton Mercury writes to that paper of the Goth
inst:
A report from New Orleans that the mer-
chants of that city are combining to build
railroad to Dallas, in this State, and to leave
the old Houston and New Orleans road to rot,
has stirred up the people of Houston, like
stick poked into a hornets nest. The Board
Of Trade will appoint at their next meeting
committee of our most important citizens to
60 to New Orleans, to interview her people
about this matter. 1t is very proper thing
that Houston should do this and it is to be
hoped that the scare will lead to arrangements
for the early completion of the New Orleans
and Houston Railroad It is road that
will bring back to Houston her lost cotton
business it will give her the advantage OF
cheap Liverpool freights; it will secure to
New Orleans the shipping of the great bulk OF
the cotton crop of Texas. What the Dallas
road would secure to her does not appear so
plain. With this New Orleans road complete,
the Houston and Texas Central would, no
doubt, enter into combination with it that
would defy any effort Of St. Louis to with
draw the cotton and other trade of Texas in
that direction. have no idea what the COM
mittee will do, but don't doubt that the Cen
trail Railroad and Charles Morgan's influence
will be largely represented. Could New Or
leans ever build that railroad with these COM
bined influences against her, especially when
that road would bring her no other trade than
what the Red River now brings her?

The Mississippi River.

Mr. Bancr remarks in the tenth volume
of his Historkof the United States, just out:
1.-The Mississippi River is the pledge of the
union Of the States Of America. Had they
been confined to the eastern slope of the.
Alleghanies, there would have been no geo.
graphical unity between them, and the thread
of connection between lands that merely
fringed the Atlantic must soon have been
sundered. The Father of Rivers gathers his
waters from all the clouds that break between
the Alleghanies and the furthest ranges of
the Rocky Mountains. The ridges Of the
eastern chain bow theft heads at the north
and at the SOUTH so that long before science
became the companion OF man, nature her.
self pointed ~eut to the barbarous races how
short portages join his tributary rivers to
those q the Atlantic coast. At the other
side his mightiest arm interlocks with the
arms OF the Oregon and the Colorado. and by
conformation of the earth itself, marshals
highways to the Pacific.
From his remotest springs he refuses to
suffer his waters to be divided; but as he
bears them all to the bosom OF the ocean the
myriads of flags that wave above his head are
all the ensigns Of one great people. States
larger than kingdoms flourish he passes; and
beneath his steps cities start into being more
marvellous in their reality than tabled crea-
tons of enchantment. His magnificent val
ley, lying in the best part OF the temperate
zone, salubrious, wonderfully fertile, is the
chosen muster ground of the most various
elements of human culture brought together
by men, summoned from all the civilized ma
tons OF the earth, and joined in the bonds of
common citizenship by the strong, invisible
attraction OF republican freedom. Now that
science has come to be the household friend
OF trade, commerce and travel, and that
nature has lent to wealth and intellect her
constant forces, the hills, once walls of divi-
sion, are scaled, or pierced or leveled; and the
two oceans, between which the Republic has
entrenched itself against the out
ward world, are bound together across the
continent by friendly links Of iron.

In this immediate section the planters will
fall short even OF half crop, but we are glad
to know that such bad fortune is not general.
In other parts OF the State much better
prospect exists, and however much we grieve
for our own losses we can and shoald yet
rejoice that most of our brethren have been
more fortunate. No rain has fallen here
abouts for the past month, and in consequence
this is unfortunate for gardeners, it is lucky
for harvesters of cotton and hay.-Brashear

Pistol Practice in WashOe.

Recently ct saloon on the Divide, some
men were discussing the shooting ARRAY which
occurred during the morning between the two
brothers-in-law, Fallman and Ward. 1t was
agreed on all hands that it was shocking bad
shooting-a discredit to Washoe At last q
Phoebe man bantered a Comstock man, whom
he knew to be good shot with the pistol, to
90 out in the back yard with him and do some
Shoe ping, Just to show the "boys" how it
should be done. In the saloon was a box of
eggs, and what the Piocher proposed was that
each shoot two eggs off the bare head Of the
other at the distance of ten PAGES, the one
missing to treat the crowd. The Comstocker
was bound not to be bluffed by man from
the other end of the State, SO to the back
yard all hands adjourned.
Each man used his own six-shooter. The
Comstocker first busted his egg on the top
of the Piocher's head, which exploit was
loudly applauded by all present 1t was then
the Piocher's turn to shoot, and an egg was
produced to be placed on the head of the Com
stocker, but when he removed his hat there
was great laugh, for the top Of his head was
as smooth as billiard ball. For full ten min
utes all hands tried in vain to make an egg
stand on his head. 1t couldn't be DONE The
Piocher then tainted the Comstocker with
having gone into the arrangement knowing
that he was safe. The latter told him to set up
his egg and it was all right-he was there. The
Piocher went into a saloon, and moment
after came out with small handful of flour,
which he dabbed upon the bald head of the
Comstocker, and then triumphantly planted
in it his egg, fell back ten steps, and then
knocked it off The Comstocker then told
him to set up his second egg and shoot at it,
as he didn't want to have his head chalked
twice during the game. This was done, and

out with his last egg on his head. The Com
stocker raised his pistol and fired. The Pho
cher bounded yard into the air, and the egg
bounced whole from his head. "Tve lost'
said the Comstocker. 'Let all come up and
