   We are glad to learn from the Gulf Key (Lavaca) that the Railroad has been completed within nine miles of Victoria. The iron for the completion of the road was daily arriving. Its prospects were never before so bright. Our false prophets, who have sought to bully, to wheedle, or to deceive our people into submission, have been saying out all the time that the ??on excitement would ruin our railroad enterprizes.
