Owing to its low sitaation it is subject to inundation alike from the Matagorda bay and the tidal waves from the gull that occasionally sweep over tho narrow beach that separatee it from the gulf. Indianola is 140 miles southeast by east of Austin, and 120 miles southwest of Galveston. In 1870 it had a population oT 2,106, which hta increased te 3,000. Of these nearly 600 are colored. It is the terminus of the Gulf, Western, Texas and Pacific railroad (completed in 1873 to Onoro, in De Witt county, a distance of sixty-six miles), which is to ocu-

The commerce of the place is quite important, there being entered in the year ending August, 1872, in the country trade, 242 vessels of 188,463 tons, of which 149, of 174,270, were steamers. It cleared in the same time 250 vessels, of 194.890 Iona, of which 146, of 170,052, were ateomere. The receipts were 6,808,000 feet of lumber and 2,760,000 sbinglee. It ahipped 27,461 head of animals, 11,649 bales of wool in 1870. The value of imports waa in 1870 882,463 and of exports $58,668.
