The O., W. T. k P. B. W.—We learn
from authentic sources that work has ai-
read/ commenced on this road from Vic-
toria towards Cuero. The contractors,
Messrs. Sleicherand Cunningham, are ex-
perienced men in the business, snd will
hare the road completed to Cuero bj the
1st of October next. Bj the 1st of April.
1873, we expect the road to reach San
Antonio. Thus will the important city
of San Antonio be connected with tbe
ocean at Indianola, both being destined
to become tbe principal commercial de-
pots of Western Texas. Although we
have endured many disappointments,
yet have we never faltered in onr belief
of their ultimate destiny.
Otra Edito*.—He has departed, not
"vamosed" or absquatulated, bnt merely
gone on a tour of recreation for the ben
efit of his health, for be it known, kind
and gentle reader, he is probably the
hardest working editor extant, an^withal
probably the most modest. Having re-
sided in Texas for the past thirty-five
yesrs, he has acquired that independent
spirit so habitual to old Texans, and we
fear his extreme modesty will prevent
him from calling upon onr frienda to ad-
vertise and subscribe. Te local, who has
been temporarily left in charge of the
editoriol tripod, feels but' too sensibly
the fact that he will neglect no duty save
that which be owes to hiniself, conse-
quently we must bespeak for him the
kindest attentions of onr brethren of the
press, assuring those who wish to adver-
tise and subscribe to our paper that they
will not loose anything by giving him a
call: The Bulletin has a very extensive
circulation and is received and read in
every hamlet and village in Western
Texas. Bon voyage. Colonel, and may
you return to ns with restored health.
The Gbeat Staples.—While the cot-
ton crop seems to claim to a great extent
the consideration and attention of com-
mercial men, and sea-ports and cities are
viewed from a business stand-point by
their receipts, hides and wool seem to be
lost in the vortex of "King Cotton." The
exports of bides through tbe port of In-
dianola for tbe year 1872 will sum up
something over 200,C00, amounting in
value to about $1,000,000, and 500,000
lbs. of wool at the price of 40 cts. per
pound, will make the nice little sum of
•?,000,000, and 5,000 bbls. pecans, 75,000
lbs at 7 cts. per lb., $52,100. Add to
this 10,000 bales of eotton at $80 per
bale, making $800,000, and you have an
approximation of the exports irom tbe
port of Indianola for 1872, To this can
be added tbe shipment of 26,000 head of
beeves per annum, at $15 per head, ma-
king a total of $390,000, not to compute
something over 100,000 head of cattle
that will be driven overland to Kansas
and Nebraska. This shows that onr ex-
ports for 1872 will be about $4,240,000,
which is not inconsiderable for a little
seaport like onrs that has not as yet chal-
lenged the admiration or shaken the bus-
iness centres of the world.
METEOROLOGICAL SURVEY OFFICE.
Dr. F. E. Hughes, Msyor of the oity,
hss reocived information from General
Meyer, Chief Offioer of the Meteorologi-
cal Bureau, that Indianola has been desig-
nated a point of observation, and re-
quests that a committee of conference be
appointed at onee and the office estab-
lished. Aeeordingly his Honor, the
Mayor, has appointed on said oommittee
the following named gentlemen, all old
and much respected eitisens of tbe city:
Wm. P. Milby, Esq., General Wm. H.
Woodward and Robk Clark, Esq. In the
olden time the elerk of the weather was a
myth, the people of that period little
dreeming that the ad vanee of eivilisation
and the progress of soienoe wonld make
it a reality. But so it is. A system of
storm signals have been established all
over the oountry, and it can now be de-
termined with the greateat accuracy the
origin, the course and speed of violent
winds. The benefits to be derived by
the commercial marine are inoalenlable.
Vessels in port can be advised when to
sail, should the sígnala give notice of a
in n certain quarter which must
i a certain direction, etc. So im-
portant han these matters become that a
separate burean been established at

gives n description of
political regeneration—the sov-
ereigns moving.
The cloud no bigger "than a man's
hand*' is looming up to large proportions.
Fhe negro element, not coateut with the
protection thrown around tbem by the
strong arm of tbe government, are clam
oroas for further rights. Not being sat-
isfied with political equality, tbey are
demanding social eqoalityr They claim
tbe privilege of the white mau's hotel;
tbe privilege of entering tbe white tuan's
theatre, opera, and other places of amnso-
meut set apart and conducted by white
men. In Mississippi it is a peual offence
to refuse tbe negro the privilege of the
hotels of tbe white men; fine and im-
prisonment is the peualty. Tbe sover-
ereign citizen and property bolder of tbe
States is to be cast aside and tbe negro
is to rnle and make laws for us. The
orisis is approaching, aud the negro must
go to the wall if these matters are not
stopped. Tbe white man, onue aroused
to tbe indignities heaped upon him by
an imbeoile administration, if not check
ed, will rise up in bis majesty and sweep
from tbe -face of tbe land every negro
that dares lift up bis voice in behalf of
social or even political equality. We
tremble for their fútate - and nope that
common sense and good statesmanship
will yet arrest tbe fearful doom impend-
ing over their devoted heads.
The length to which tbe Badicals have
gone to sustsin their wsning power is re-
vealing its results in the commotion evi-
dent among the negro race. Blind to
their future, they only look to the pres-
ent, fondly imagining that they are a
power in the land. Under the usurpa-
tions now exercised over tbe Southern
States, in which the white man is debar-
red from exercising political rights, we
freely acknowledge that tbey are a pow-
er, but it is but a temporary power. The
present chaos that exists throughout tbe
South is but tbe forerunner of a general
convulsion—the malstroom that will en-
gulf within its terriflo whirl the powers
that bava only exeroised a momentary
force. All that is unnatural mnst give
way before it—nature must be satisfied,
and the fixed laws of the Almighty must
fulfill their mission. The superior race
must tiiumpb. Cannot the negro be sat-
isfied with bis position? Does he ever
reflect on the sad consequences that mnst
most certainly attend him should he per-
sist in things that are impossible? Does
he eontemplate the vastness of the white
man's power? If he ever does, and will
examine closely into tbe particular com-
plexion of tbe present political aspect of
tbe government, bs will find that tbe
Badical party is fast falling to pieces;
that tbe present administration is noth-
ing; that its control and power will soon
cease; the universal reform movement
tbronghout tbe length and breadth of
tbe lund is tbs "little cloud no bigger
than a man's hand" that is coming up
with a velocity to not only overshadow
his unnatural demands, but to throw into
oblivion even his political aspirations.
While wishing him te possess all the
privileges properly belonging to bis In-
ferior condition—that of lawful protec-
tion and a fair chance to gain bis sup-
port—yet tbe distinctive lines that God
has drawn between tbe two races will for-
ever preclude the idea that the Caucasian
race will admit tbem on a level either so-
cially or politically. He may be respect-
ed in his position and encouraged in bis
industries, but tbe deorees of nature oan
never be revoked so much as to permit
his taking a place on equal footing with
the white man. For three thousand ysars
the negro has groped in darkness in the
land of bis nativity. In Africa this day
the same savage instincts, tbe same su-
perstitions exist as tbey did almost untold
oenturies ago. Missions and mission-
aries havs endeavored to raise him from
bis low estate in tbe scale of humanity,
yet there is no change in his condition—
like the aboriginates of America, they
are destined to final extinction. Tbe
growth of the Caucasian race, the supe-
rior intellect of the white man. and the
power of civilization, will all oombine to
gradually blot him out from the face of
the earth. Let any philosophor who has
read deeply the past history of the world,
pondered well upon the future, and he
will disoern the nature of the inexorable
laws of nature.
The obly advancement made by tbe
negro in eivilisation was mode while in
bondage. To the white man—the New
Englander, the English and the Dutch—
is he indebted,for has present improved
condition. Had not bis labor been pro-
fitable he wonld not this day be in exist-
ence in theee United States. He would
still have been groping in ignorance and
superstition in the deserts of Africa, and
their transportation to these shores by
Yankee ship* and Yankee traffiekers in
negro fleeh, has proved to thoee who are
nowoitiseosof the South a blessing in-
stead of a curse.
The beet friend the negro has is his old
aster; the worst enemy that he has Is
the Northern man. He must be made to
oomprehend that he is only a political
tool in the hands of n oorrupt Badical
Administration to aid them in maintain-
ing their power.
A ohange has taken place in the politi-
eal partiee of the day. The politician
hae rialed the conn try to its ruin too long.
The sovoreign citizen—the white man,
tbe descendente of the founders of the
BepubHc, who adapted their structure to
the white element that eompoeed it—are
rising up in their majesty. with the deter-
mination to preeerve the nation from be-
ing ruined through amalgamation of the
see. Mexioo is a snd example of eooial
equality and the mixing of different and
inferior blood.
Those who have raised the whirlwind
for tbe purpose of self-aggrandisement
stand aghast at tbe power they have
called into existence. We see mnny of
the purer and wiser among tbem break-
ing loose from their party and raising
another that will from its liberal tenden-
cies include every white man in tbs whole
country who loves the broad principles
of the Constitution, under whose benign
protection only is this nation to be per-
petuated . It would be well for the uegro
to reflect on these things; to reflect that
every year the conntry is increasing in
white population, and that he is only at
present but a very small element, which
mnst in a very few years at farthest be
overshadowed by the "little cloud no
bigger than a man's hand" that is des-
tined to cover all tbe land with its influ-
ence and power, making him but an atom
almost imperceptible.
How much better, then, would it be
for the negro race to live in peace and
qniet under the protecting laws of a
whits man's government and the white
man's friendship than to be claiming
privileges that cannot but hasten his
ruiu. The negro has to depend npon the
white man for his labor, for bis very live-
lihood. and be is only projeoting his
doom when lie asxs sua cmim
is unnatural and impossible. The for-
bearance of the Southern people with
bis insolence, his foolish demands, can-
not last always. Knowing bis character
as they do, tbe Southern people look
with sympathy upon his lot, and sorely
regret his being nssd as tools by unscrup-
ulous men and base, designing dema-
gogues If tbey wish to live in peace
and retain the friendship and protection
of their old masters they must not pre-
sume upon too much. As tbey will be
dependent upon them for their labor and
sustenance it would be well for their
future happiness and prosperity for tbem
to act in good faith with the white people
among whom their lot is cast. Tbe
North will not bare tbem: tbey are
kicked and spurned at the North. Tbe
only true friend they have is the South-
ern man. Will they abuse their frineds?
Will they still demand that which it is
impossible to grant? If they do tbey
will most assured*? find in due time that
they have calculated wrong, and thej
will be treated accordingly.
The negro has a fine opcuing before
him in the South should be choose to
profit by industry and thrift, but a dreary
future should be become an idle vaga-
bond, expecting relief and protection
from political influence. That era is
over, After a long and stormy period,
naturally growing out of the resulte of
a bitter fraticidal war, law, order and
good government, in which tho white
man will rule supreme, must follow; cor-
ruption in office will be rooted out} wick-
ed politicians, who have taken advantage
of the present state of the white man's
disfranchisement to plauder and rob,
will all receive the closest scrutiny, and
speedy and terrible punishment will be
meeted out to those who have abusad
their trust. The signs are potent for
political regeneration. Tbe nation will
be purified. It is inevitable. The peo-
ple of tbe whole country have borne
with patience the wrongs heaped upon
tbem, but the signs of the political shy
portend great and important ohanges.
Investments in Western Tbxas.—Men
of both small and large means are now
seeking investments in our State, and we
beg to call attention to one branch of in-
dustry which seems to have been much
neglected, as is the case generally in all
new and sparsely settled countries. We
allude to the rearing of fine cattle and
the dairy business in connection. We
Texans are the largest stock-raisers id
the world and have the least milk and
butter. You go to the farm of a man
who brands 10,000 calves each year, end
you will find butter and milk a scarce
article. This is due mainly io the cause
of our cattle running almost wild apon
the range, and it has not been consid-
ered wise to improve them with tbe good
milk breeds, as the bags of the cows will
in many instances spoil, the calf not be-
ing a sufficient oonsnmer of the milk.
We are consequently large importers of
both butter end cheese, end many thous-
ands of dollars are lost ennuelly to our
8tete therefrom. The oost of e dairy
farm in Texas is e small item, and its
yield will be immense. For Ínstanos:
2000 acres land at 75o. per acre, $1500.00
Fencing the seme 750.00
100 cows at $8 per heed • -" - 800.00
Making e total of - - - - $3050.00
Thus you have an outlay of $3050.00,
ont of which you oan realize 50 lbs. of
butter per day, or 15,000 lbs. per year,
at 80 ots. psr lb., which will give you
$4,500.00; end the average increase of
100 oows, estimating 75 calves, at $450.00.
This makes no allowance for the improve-
ment of your herd of oattle. líos* of
these calves at three years old oan be
sold resdily for$75 per head; nor is it even
necessary to raise food to sustain them
through the winter other than that which
nature hae provided. Onr prairies are
oovored throughout the yeer with abun-
dance of grass, and all that is necessary
is the labor of one man with a mowing
machine end a pair of horses for eight
deje to out, oure and etaek sufficient hay
for their entire subsistence throughout
the winter months. Where sueh induoe
menta preeent tbemselvee to those who
of the older States ere working worn-out
lands, end toiling six months of the year
to sustain life the balance, we can with
certainty say they will soon be made
available.

The new business era that has opened
upon us is evident in tbe great aotivitj
displayed among our commercial men.
Large stochs of merchandise are tbe order
of the day, and tbe iacreasing demand
from the interior for goods and merchan-
dise of a general character is an evidence
of the benefits to be derived from rail-
road connections with the interior of
Western Texas. The prosperity of this
city never was better tban it is now, and
our merchants are beginning to realize
the necessity of prepariDg for tbe large
and increasing trade that is rapidly cen-
tering at this point. Several new speci-
alities of a business pature will soon be
established. In fact onr people are just
beginning to learn that Indianola is no
insignificant seaport, whose luture—as
our railroad faicilities advance westward
—is destined to beoome the principal
seaport city on the Texas coast for the
transaction of the vast and rapidly grow-
ing trade and commerce of Western
Texas and Northern Mexico. As a mar-
ket for the sale of tbe productions of tbe
eountrf it will excel all others on tbe
Texas coast—this fact bas already been
demonstrated. With the inauguration of
cotton presses it will have all the advan-
tages of the cotton crops. Before the
war a large trade Was opened with Chi-
huahna and other Mexican towns, large
trains of wagons, loaded with copper and
other ores visiting as frequently. Our
near connection with the mineral wealth
of Texas will largely contribute towards
oar prosperity. With onr bar improved,
giving na free intercourse with the Euro-
pean and Atlantic ports, Indianola be-
comes at onoe the principal seaport on
the Qnlf of Mexico.
Tbe completion and connection of the
Oulf, Western Texas and Pacific Bailway
with all the railway lines in the State
will necessary bring tbis way all the
heavy freights for shipment abroad. Be-
ing the shortest land route to all the
principal centers of the interior this
must necessarily be so by virtne of cheap-
er carriage. Next fall will see a larger
business done in Indianola than ever be-
fore. Our merchants and tradesmen are
all jubilant over the good time ooming.
Every man engaged in mercantile pur-
suits in tbis city, even those with limited
capital, are doing a better business in
selling goods than previous to the advent
of railroad, demonstrating to them their
necessity. Tbe uld fogies are opening
their eyes in astonishment, having
imagined that they were totally ruined
by-tbe building of" taihonds, and those
railroads connected too with the wharves.
We trust tbey will now make np to their
true interests, and unite with the few go-
ahead men in our midst in adding to the
general prosperity of, not only them-
selves, but of alL We have had a hard
time with these antiquated individuals,
bnt hope tbey will aome day show some
little appreciation of onr efforts in their
behalf.

ses who know both Orton and myself.
As to the tattoo marks, at least 24 disin-
terested witnesses will prove that I,

evidence fortbooming."
