[It is Something we can‘tunderstand. We have some of the finest ranches in the State, and many hundreds of bashels are raised, j but not a tenth part enough to sup ply the market. Our soil is good>i : a : : ‘ . ‘but oar people lack ‘the enterprise to) 29m “ go ahead and raise enough to supply ‘4 ~ the: demand.

A team loaded with goods for one or two of our merchants, managed to . . reach this city from Colfax: yester‘day. We didn’tdare toask anything . about the roads for fear of a funeral. His charges were only at the rate of $16 per ton. .The railroad bill that passed the Assembly yesterday only calls for $4 50 per ton the year round. eS In Wednesday's issue we had an articlé, in which the effects of eloquence. were detailed, for the facts of which we drew principally upon the imag. edly importuned by different. attor. heys to know who told us that jok . on them.

Mr. Wellington, one of the proprietors, is always around looking out to see that the horses, wagons, -harness, ete., are in first-class order, and does everything in his power to secure the comfort and easy conveyance of passengers. The agents and drivers are steady, upright, honorable, accommodating and capable gentlemien,.and we would be thelast ones to ever intimate anything wrong or neglecful on their part. = Licenses. I. J.
