From the Galveston Civilian & Gazette Weekly
 
June 11, 1861
 
   The following sentence occurs in a communication which appeared in our paper of Saturday:
   "Most of the losses by accidents, bad management and unfaithful agents on the Galveston road {Galveston, Houston & Henderson RR}, may be charged to the constant public desecration of the Sabbath."
   It is due to the present managers of the road, who have had it in charge for the last eight months, to say that no accident of any kind whatever, involving injury to person or property, has occurred during that time; and that not the slightest complaint has been made against them or their employees, for bad management or unfaithful agents. On the contrary, the management of the road has been, so far as we heard, universally approved.
