A NEW MAREET FOR DALLAS
FLOUR.

The Henderson Times, of the 9th,
says that car load of Dallas flour
had reached that place, and was
considered equal TO the best Of St.
Louis brands. The Times says ofthis
event that sit dates the Inaugural
ton of reciprocal trade, between
eastern and western Texas that
must increase to vast proportions,
adding wealth, convenience and
prosperity to both sections"
The completion Of the tap road
from Overton 10 Henderson, now in
progress of construction, will mako
Henderson one of the most impor-
tant towns of Eastern Texas, by
drawing to that point tho trade Of
several rich counties lying to the
south and southeast, which have
heretofore shipped their cotton,
hides, etc., to Marshall and Shreve-
port.
Tho Times very justly remarks;
With all these demonstrations
around us, why is it that we hear peev-
ish declarations calculated to injure
the cause OF railroad progress? The
purpose of the demagogues Ito use the
words of II cotemporary) who clench
their fists and shake their empty
pates, and without a particle of proof,
vociferste about railroad opposition
and railroad rings, is very well under
stood to be self-aggrandizement by
arousing the passions of Ignorance and
jealousy. The people now witness the
daily reduction of charges OH freights,
and are rapidly arriving at the conclu-
sion, that their true interest demands
the increase of railroad building, be-
cause, as we have seen, it cheapens
freights by competing lines and adds
wealth and convenience. At the same
time, they will demand all necessary
legislation, to prohibit abuses and con-
fine them strictly TO the terms of their
charters.

Now that the season is near at
hand when our farmers will begin
TO prepare 10 seed their fields, for
the new wheat crop, it will be a
prudent foresight in them to be
looking about for the best varieties
for sowing.
When il is considered that it costs
no moro labor nr expense, except
the small difference in the price Of

the merited attention of that excel

GRAIN STATISTICS.

We learn from the circular Of Ed
mund Il. Wright & Co., of New
York, that the receipts Of wheat at
that port for the seven months end
ing the 3lst OF July, were l2,l72,-
$50 bushels, against 20, l9l, 577
bushels, and the exports 13,46S,632
bushels, against %, 6O9,6G6 bushels,
for the corresponding period Of last
year.
The circular adds this gratifying
piece of information, which we
trust marks the beginning of a new
era for the South ga most note
worthy fact is that for years past
the South has been n customer, in
this market, for -four, wheat and
corn, and this year she has not only
raised enough to supply her own
needs, but has a surplus to send here
for export, the benefit Of which she
will ultimately feel, moro than can,
at present, be realized"

DENTON, August" g, lS.a.
To the Editor Of the Dallas Herald:
Denton is, and has, for weeks, been
flooded with representative men from
various directions looking for locations
for their constituents. Her magnifi-
cent grain harvest, and tlattering pros
pect for cotton, to say nothing of her
vineyards and orchards, is lending to
Denton, just now, attractions that cam
not fail to turn the tide of immigration
hither this fall, to an extent never be-
fore known, indeed, when we come to
view the magnificent domain compris-
ing three-fourths of this county, the
cheapness of lands, the fertility of the
soil, the abundance of water, and the
healthfulness and parity of the atmos-
phere, it does seem strange that Dem
ton has not developed to an extent
equal to that of the fairest and best of
her sisters.

everything that goes to make Il
county great is not to be found in Texas,
and of all other places, it does seem
that this county is now offering the
greatest Inducements to immigrants;
especially to that class who are willing
to locate and go TO work in earnest.
The very best prairie lands can be pur-
chased at from two to five dollars per
acre, and for the production of cereals
and stock raising, this county stands
unsurpassed by any portion of the

The hostile and somewhat threatening relations

~ THE TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.
The news had been received by way OF the At
antic that the National Executive mad ordered all
the steamers that navigate the, River Magdalena
10 be detained at Honda, to transport large force
Of national troops TO the coast. No one doubted
that these troops were destined to act against
Panama In case no reparation was made by the
State authorities for the insult offered to the
general government In arrestng General Camargo,
who had been commissioned to take command Of
all the national forces stationed in the States OF
the Atlantic coast. Holding some 900 troops in
readiness some distance down the Magdalena,
President Perez resolved to try the effects OF
clliatory measures before resentlng 10 an armed
force. Two Commissioners. Messrs. Nicolas Es
guerra and Enstorgio Talgar, were appointed to
proceed to Panama and confer with the State
authorities there. Tney arrived on the 2Sth or
June and at once entered INTO
..f tt A CONFERENCE
with the authorities OF the ate. "A good deal OF
discussion took place. and for a day or two 1t was
reported thar the state was unwilling to accept he
conditions trat President Perez had laid down,
which caused no little anxiety and some alarm.
A. last Messrs Justo Arosemena and Mateo Itur-
r ,lde (the former had been COLOMBIAN Minister 10
England and the latter had Just returned from
the Congress OF Bogota), were named TO act as
commissioners on tue part OF the State.

lantlc The battalion stationed IN Panama we're
TO be relieved by other forces from Bogota, ana
the state government took upon itself TO protect

THE PEOPLE OF PANAMA MADE HAPPY.
All this was felt 10 be great reliefby the people
Of Panama.

was given to the Bogota Commissioners IN the
Grand Hotel, attended by the STATE military band.
