DEEP WATER.
What is all this hue and cry about deep water at Sabine Pass? What does Texas want with a harbor at Sabine Pass? If we are to have a good harbor, if we expect to get an appropriation to make one good harbor on our coast, let it be at Galveston, where the railroads have been built and coming more scattered, and where the greatest portion of the work is already accomplished. As far as we can see, the main opposition to Galveston is animated by jealousy. The howl for Sabine Pass is sent up by Galveston's rival and echoed in different portions of the State by a few toadies.-Whitesboro News.
