| San Antonio & Mexican Gulf R. R. |
| We learn from the last number of the
Victoria Advocate, that on the 28th (Thursday) ult., the citizens of
that progressive town, celebrate the completion to that point, of the
S. A. & M. G. Rail Road by a Barbecue; at which it estimates from
seven hundred to a thousand persons dined. |
| It is needless for us, who have so often
manifested the deep interest, we feel in the welfare, and final
success of this road, to reiterate our satisfaction and delight, at
its progress as far as Victoria, or the pleasure the joyous expression
of its citizens at that event imparts to us. |
| The Advocate represents the ball as
opening at 8 o'clock, the music excellent, the company must agreeable,
and all was "harmony, jollity and good feeling." |
| The R. R. Company we learn
authoritatively, have had most favorable offers for its prosecution in
this direction; what has been their determination in relation to them,
we have not yet been advised. The road we further learn, is doing a
good as well as a lucrative business. |
| We sincerely hope the trying difficulties
which the Directors and Proprietors of this R. Road have so
successfully encountered and overcome, may not be again met with, in
its further progress. |
