AbTAGNIFICENTPR PROJECT he pros
pect Of the independence of Texashasal-
ready given rise in New Orleans to- a
splendid design, which, If carried out,
will create quite new era in the his
tory Of part of the commerce of this
country. It is well known th;.t steam
boats Of 400 or GOO tons burden can as
cend the Red River as high as Natchi-
tochesand it is now proposed, in a
N. Orleans paper, thatarail road shallbe
constructed from that point through a
gorge in the Southern Rocky Noun
tains, and thence to the Gulf Of Califor-
MIA. Such work would give to New
Orleans access to the East India, Peru
Wan and Chilian trade which would en-
able her to set competition at defiance.
Itappears to us, however, thatit is not
by the Red River, but by the Rio Grande,
t.iattstti1is communication must be effect
cd, if at all. This last river has course
estimated at i 500 to 100 miles in ex--
tent, and can be assembled by steam
boats Of light burden, nearly 700 miles,
which will be within an inconsiderable
distance from the Colorado Of the West,
river that empties into the Gulf of Ca
lifornia. tits probable that portage
rail road connecting these two rivers,
need not be Of greater length than 200
miles.
II this communication were opened,
the route to India and to the Western
Coast Of South America, would be
shortened more than one half.
