Our Railroad Interests.
The ftiture of our city its growth
and prosperity is something which
should be dear to evory heart in it
and bo the groat stimulant for bold
exertion among all its pooplo. We
are already on tho highway for suc-
cessful development and are mov-
ing upward in tho scalo of impor-
tance every day but thoro yet re.
mams much to be accomplished be-
foro tho full realization of what wo
arc to be will burst upon us with
the cortaiu light of absoluto posses-
sion. Nothing haB contributed
more to the presont importance of
our city than its Railroad interests.
Dallas is geographically and topo-
graphically tho groat centor of rail-
road enterprises and will surely
become tho focal point of transpor-
tation for the wholo country if our
people will but will it -and -labor
earnestly for tho accomplishment
of this end. Wo already have rail-
roads completed and. in course of
construction loading off to tho lour
points of tho compass which will
concentrate in pur midst tho ship-
ping of tho Lakos and of tho Gulf
the cargoes which will bo landod
from tho Atlantic's waves and from
tho Btnooth unrippled bosom of tho
Pacific ocean ; but these groat linos
tiro not all that wo neod to complete
tho magnificonco and importance
of our rising young metropolis"
Vfo want evory. anglo already do-
fined by tho intersection of iron
rails bisected .by othor lines thuB
doubling tho facilities and multi-
plying by four fold tho greatness
and wealth of our Western mart.
Lot tho contomplatod road from tho
Wichita Mountains to Now Orleans
go through and Dallas will become
the entrepot ot tho minoral richos
which will rush into tho Bmeltors'
linndt) in our own midst and come
forth tho porfoct and well shaped
commodity of trade. Tlio wido
wasting pineries among wbjoae tow-
ering heads tho " minstrel winds "
chant the constant strain of " hope
deforrod" will send to us the finest
timber tho conlinont can produco
and thus with oro and timber meet-
ing in our streets why should not
manufacturers come hither to com-
bine. tho ono with the othorand
supply every nrticlo essential to
tho use comfort or convonienco of
mankind ? Tho Houston and Tdx-
as Central Railroad gives to our
commerce a great artery running
from North to South from St
Louis on the Mississippi to Galves-
ton On the Gulf. '
Bat a conflict of ideas in which
A clash of interests is recognized by
the corporation representing it and
the one in charge of the Missouri
Kansas and Texas road blocks . up
the free passage of woalthand ob-
structs the full pulsation of trade
unlbss it be turned from this point
southward. To gratify the claims
of monopolists it is expected that
our people will remain silent and
allow them their own timo ta fight
out their own battles on whatovor
line and in whatever manner they
may select bat such is not their in-
tention. This foud of railroad di-
rectors is about to be flanked by
tho demands of trade and we re-
joice to know that the movement is
no more dream of a sickly brain
but a reality a practical and tangi-
ble suggestion upon which enter-
prise and. capital will lay thpir
mighty hands and bring out a
sublime and worthy result." JYom
tho St. Louis Times of tbq 7th inst.
wo soo that tho contemplated line
of road from Springfield Missouri
to Rio del Norto is. attracting the
attention of live spirits . and is
passing through the inoubative
State jnecessaiy 'to its commence-
ment of lifo. There is. already a
road in running - order from St.
Louis to Springfield and this road
extended on a direct lino to its tor-
minal point at Rio del Norte will
pass through our city and we be-
lieve will ultimately become the
highway upon which all tho freights
to New Orleans and from St. Louis
will travol it boing tho shortest and
most direct routo botwoon thosotwo
points. Lot this road bo built and
the Wichita and New Orleans road
added to the number of roads con-
necting ot Dallas and wo will thon
bo able to dictate torms to carriers
instead of boing' .dictated to by
them. Will not our citizens call a
mooting and take some action cal-
culated to oncourago the construc-
tion of this indisporiBftblo and in-
valuublo addition to ourimportance
as a great city.
arThe Galvoston News says
that tho bill creating the now coun-
ty of Rockwall v has become a law
This county is cut off from the
northern portion of Kaufman coun-
ty by a line noarly oast and west.
Tho county is nearlyBqua? e and
vory small not oxcooding above
200 square miles. Being a northern
portion of Kaufman county the
inhabitants wero very inconveniont
to tho county Beat.' Tho county

wall. ; Thoro aro nearly 500 inhab-
itants in this now county. This

Wholesale Slaughter of Choctaw
Horse-Thieves-Sixteon Arrested
and Six Leaders Shot-
From the Ft. Smith incpendent Feb. 8. . ' '
We lenrn from Dr. Faunio of Scully-
ville Choclaw Nation that on Friday
IftBl two companies ef Chootaw oilinnn
one from Sugar Loaf county audoao from
Scuilyrille headed by LigbtborBe started
out in pursuit of horse-thieves. On Fri-
day night the company from Sugar Loaf
captured sixteen of the gang and on Sat-
ueday morning after acounoil being held
took six of the leaders of the gaug and
shot them. They made confession) irnplU
eatiug others. The company is in pur-
suit of Ihein. The thieving of this gang
has been se great that the people have de-
termined to visit their orimes in a sum-
mary manner. Dr. F. says it is the up-
rising of the people. Those killed were
Chootaws a part full bloods and a prt
half bloods. It Is thought that others of
the gang Fill share the same fate of the
six ....
A KgOEO KILLED IN Till CUKROKKE BAT EON.
On Saturday evening we learn from
Mr. Jaoob!the ferryman a negro who had
been attending the United SiatosCourt for
several weeks had crosse d the river about
sundown on his way home and was shot
down by some one of ft party of Indians
who were drinking and were armed with
guns and pistols. The negro was shot in
the forehead and the murder was commit-
ted through wantonness without the least
provocation. The negro' s name was Jaok
Harvy and he lived about H miles above
Fort Gibson on Grand river and was a
peaciaole man.: This shows the need of
an organiied government su lhat life
and property may be proteoted. ; '

Letter From Kentucky. '
LxxmaTOif Kr. Feb. 11th 1873.
Cdltor of the Dallas Herald:
A sojourner from yout lovely city and a -
faithful reader and subscriber of your
neat and flourishing paper we feel at
liberty to ask the favor of a email ipaoe
in your columns; although we ean best ;
detract from Its already ornamented pa-
ges. Tuesday the day we receive the '
Ukrald is always looked for with the
greatest patienoe and pleasure.
we are at present roosting on a frost
bitten tohaoco plant the only ornamental .
Bhrub used in these part of Kentucky.
The noise of mad dietileriea manafaotur--Ing
the fluid is eohoing In our auditory
nerves. . we are embraced in the pleasant
arms of winter and amused by the hail-
storm's roar.
Thus strangely located naturally Ton
would Inquire In what we art engaged f . "
vvearenot exaotiy teaching tno young
Idea how "to shoot" but hammering a little . .
Latin aud Greek into our cranium thus
preparing ourselves for the wrath that it
te come (provided that Urant and Wilson
do not die) . .
We left your city on the eventful even- .
ing of August 29th 1872. It was. wrap
ped la devouring flames. Inded many
were the reasons whloh ' we had for not
leaving but conscience (?) was eorreot
moral guide. Leaving in oompany with
one of the most staunch and honorable
cinisens Capt. Peak that grace the streets
of- your oily we enjoyed ourselves finely.
Our tour through the towns on the Uous-
ton and Texas Central Railroad only made i
us realise the faot lhat Dallas was the ..
foremost. Indeed the "City of the Three .
Forks" is not only surrounded by the best
country but is overflowing with enter-
prising merchant) and oitisens. If Dal-
las should continue to enoourage such en-
terprises as the Dallas Flouring Company
such railroads as the Dallas and Wichita
the Southorn l'aoifio and the Houston and
Texas Central we prediot for her a bright
and glorious future. It has superior ad-
vantages to any town or city In Northern
Texas as regards erecting water works.
A City Hall also (not alohohol) wonld not
Injure the plaoe. lie assured before long
the people may be prepared for work be-
