DALLAS EXCHANGE AND COIN.
COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS, December This first day of
the winter months is one OF the brightest
seen for a long time, with u cool, bracing
air which presages continuance of good
weather.
In looking over our exchanges from the
other Southern States, it is gratifying to
see the many notices of persons coming
here to cast their lives and fortunes with
us. A dispatch from Nashville, Tennessee,
says; Almost every train arriving here from

may look for tide of immigration larger
than was ever before experienced here,
and which will extend to every county in
this the most favored part of the State, and
