How we Progress.

To the Editor OF the Herald;
Is it not wonderful thing that whereas q
year ago nobody lived or dared to live on the
upper Colorado, now there is newspaper
published on the Colorado river, in Mitchell
count on the line of the Texas & Pacific
railroad-a county recently organized, with
full set of officers? The very county in
which, in 1910, 800 miles above the settle
ment, Col. John II. Moore, lately deceased,
attacked and destroyed Comanohe
village, killing over three hun
bred warriors and capturing 8
large number Of squaws and children Is
it not wonderful, Mr.. Editor? Consider what
we have gone through annexation and it,
unconstitutional war and its reconstruc-
tiou-not emitting the Issues of 1850 and the
sale of our northwestern territory, and then
consider that tho iron-horse is on the head OF
the Colorado, soon TO be in III Paso, thereby
forming railroad connection from Calves
ton, New Orleans and all northern Atlantic
towns with the Pacific ocean, over Texa:
SOIL Consider these things and may w
not exclaim, as did Miss Ellsworth, of pre-
cious memory, in the first telegram ever seat
in the world-"Verily what hath Goo
wrought " This was the first dlspslch evel
sent oyer tho wires. 1t was sent by Mis-
Ellsworth, Connecticut girl, whose fathe
was then commissioner Of pensions at Wash
ington. May we not sly to-day Verify
what hath God wrought"

GnoEsEEECX, Feb. 10, 1881.
The passage of the bill to provide for the
appointment of district attorney in this, the
thirteenth judicial district, had barely been
announced by telegram before candidates for
the position were by themselves and friends,
in person and by petition beseigine TIE gov
ernor for the coveted places. Unless the
governor acts of his own notion regardless of
,ao representations of applicants, he will
experience some difficulty in determining TO
which of them TO award the prize.--The
continued cold weather leaves much cotton
vet in the fields, and while ut this time last
year many of our farmers had planted part
of their corn crops, they are still trying to
save last years crops, and have hardly
turned fGuow for this years planting. In
fact since the heavy rains last week the
ground is too wet to plow.--The visits of
the HERALD have been very irregular of lato,
owing to the frequent lstoness Of the mail
