From the Austin (Texas) State Gazette
 
March 9, 1861
 
   The San Antonio & Mexican Gulf Railroad is now completed and in running order, within two miles of the Court House, and in two weeks more, will approach the houses in the outskirts of the town. There are here, evidences of considerable improvement, and notwithstanding the scarcity of money, the town presents a brisk, lively appearance. Its citizens entertain strong hopes that when the great work of succession is complete, and commerce resumes its wonted activity, that Victoria will occupy no mean position in Western Texas. So may it be.
Victoria, Feb. 25, 1861
