    The Lavaca Gulf Key of the 9th says:
   The railroad extending from this town to Victoria {San Antonio & Mexican Gulf RR} is doing a fine business; and, to judge from the great quantity of freight that is being taken to and fro, one would naturally suppose that no such thing existed as a great political crisis. As far as carried, the road is a complete success, even far beyond the expectations of the owners -- in fact, it is paying handsomely, and the prospects are that it will be speedily built to San Antonio.
