   The railroad progress is still onward. Since our last the bridge over the Brazos river on the Washington county road has been completed and trains on that road up to Chappell Hill, bringing down freight from that point. The bridge is described as being very substantial. It is hoped to have the road done to Brenham in a few days now. Work on the {Houston & Texas} Central road is progressing with a good deal of speed. The Texas & New Orleans road will be opened from Houston to Beaumont in about 40 days.
