THE TEXAS AND PACIFIC.

The directors and stock holders of the
Texas and Pacific met in Philadelphia
on last Tuesday. The annual report
showed that 4SO $40 miles of track had
been cOmpleted-llO during the last
year. Tie receipts we're 50, 2sl ,976 and
the profits $31s,9s5. Passenger revenue
increased % $40 per cent, aud 1O1 sol
more tons of freight were handled than
the previous year. This is certainly a
very good exhibit, and should the bill
now pending before Congress pass at
the October session this road will be, as
it already is, one of the hest paying in
the country, and will build up and de-
velop the resources Of our Southern
country; it will open up new market
for the far southwest and the barren
wilds of Texas and New Mexico will
be filed with an industrious and thriv-
ing population, and will open direct
and uninterrupted communication be-
tween the Pacific aud Atlantic coasts.
In a word, the completion of this great
enterprise would be one of the greatest
blessings to the entire country and we
sincerely hope the road will obtain the
endorsement of the general govern
ment.-tSYs2'eUeport Times.

Judge II. G. Scarborough writes US
that the road from Bayou Boeuff levee
to the Woodland plantation has been
opened and is now in good travelling
order. The distance to Bnstrop is
shortened three miles by crossing the
DeSiard at DR.. CalderWOod's place.
The Judge adds that the crop prospect
was never better-ssmOre cotton, corn
and hogs in this nei.hborhood than
have ever seen.'
