RoDvgy-CorroN Pass. While
towns ofGrand Gulf aud Vicksburg are ea,..

taiOr TO lheit rising influence and rapid pro-
gress 70 wealth and Importance. Our ciii-
2ens possess wealth and industry sufficient
70 accomplish any en'eprise, provided they
could only unite, and be convinced Of its
subsequent utility. Aud il is this spirit tf
vasciIlation that has paulyzod her energies
end chocked her advances in the scale Of
importance, to which under any other cir
cumstances she would be entitled. Those
who feel nm interest in the m,tter now have
an opportunity Of speaking out, and If dis

is made in the card of ALEx'R BoLLs, Esq
published in our advertising columns To-
day, they can call meeting, and decide at
once upon the policy which prudence and
their own good sense may dictate. DIR
!, sentiments as to the advantages of the pro
poseI measure are already known. II fno
other consideration should acmate, that Of
a spirit Of generous rivalry would Of Itself
DO sufficient to induce each and every man
T. lay his shoulder TO the wheel, and go
through with the contemplated enterprise,
in spite Of opposition. We do not pre-
tend to recommend any particular plan-
but tho proposition Of Mr.. Bolts might be
acted upon with others, and whatever plan
most feasible should be presented, we doubt
not the cooperation of our friends in the
country will be cheelEiIly given.
A press for tho purpose Of re-packing
cotton to be shipped to foreign ports, would
be an immense saving to the country, and
prove source ofprofii to our village. Once
get the press in full operation and our
wharf could boast of ships, and our mer-
chants receive their goods from New York |
and other cities, without paying an annual
tax Of thousands Of dollars to New Orleans,
Not only individuals, but the State would
be benefited, aud in few years we should
be able toshakc off our Dependence on New
Orleans, ship our cotton to Europe, and re-
ceive our returns either in goods or money,
as the owners may direct. In this way,
Mississippi would retain more than mil
lion Of dollars within her own borders, that
is at this time yearly expended in the great
Southwestern emporium. Holding this
opinion, which we believe is entertained by
a majority Oft the citizens of this county, we
shall confidently look for speedy and de-
termihed action upon the subject proposed
by Mr.. BoLLs; and we do hope that no
petty differences Of opinion as to the plan
which may ultimately be adopted will have
tendency to retard the consummation Of
work of such obvious utility.
