1t transpires that if Galveston
were made one of the Southern ter
mini, of the Texas and Pacific road,
then the News would support 1t.
This of course would be great
gain for Texas, and we would hail
this determination Of the matter,
with a Joy equal to the News, but
we consider the completion OF the
road at an early day, as a great ma
tional necessity, and vote forit with
out the least "dog in the manger
feeling about it, which the News
manifests. We regard the compile
ton of this great route, as one OF
the grandest enterprises in which
modern commercial energy has
ever engaged. Not the South
alone, but the North together with
the civilization of the world, are all
equally interested in the speedy
completion of the Texas and Pacl-
fc Railway.

It is with the highest degree OF

much uneasness has been felt in
this community, has been heard

received dispatch from Capt. II.
E. Loebnitz, dated at Rockport,
Stain. that the Zor,vill was at
Brszos Santiago iu a disabled con-
dition, but that all his family were
sale. A subsequent dispatch stated
that the Morgan steamship Harlan
would probably reach Galveston
Saturday, with Capt. Wells folks
on. board. Nothing is said about
the cargo OF the schooner, which
was altogether sugar, we believe,
and valued at $4,000 or $4,000.
The Ioreyilla sailed from Tux
pan for Galveston on the 10th OF
September, and up to the hour

Foot Race ~ shrevcport-Thc Favoritc
Eenten.


The long talked of foot race between
Wesley and Rush came of at the race
track, near Shreveport, Tuesday after
noon. Wesley was the favorite in
the pools at first, and a
large amount of money was
staked upon him. Rush beat him,
however, by about two feet, and as.
tonished the natives, as well as his
competitors, by the speed he displayed.
Considerable money changed hands.
This race was followed by another be-
tween Lewis, of Shreveport, who wore
Rush's colors, previously beaten by
Wesley, and n man from Jefferson
named Adams. The Jettersonian lost
the race. Some five or six hundred
people, who went their pile Oh West
ley, returned home sadder and wiser
men. The races were followed by
chicken lighting, in which Texas beat
Louisiana, shooting for twenty-five
turkeys, and other kindred sports.
