This Is tie TRUE ISSUE, and we are vii
ling to abide by it.
II IS confidently asserted that the
Natchez aad jackson Rail Road, will
be completed in two years.--Grand
lGaD Whig.
/ We hope it will,--and we believe
The assertion has some foundation.
There can be no doubt that the road
will be completed much sooner than
was anticipated, last winter-long be-
fore the time contemplated by the
charter. But our friend Of the Wing
IS a little mistaken in the cognomen Of
this road.--lt should be called the
l"Natchez and Canton Rail Road" IN
less you apply tile name given in the
charter. AS Canton is at present the
Northern terminus Of the Road, we

We understand the rout between
this town and Jackson has been sur

located and ready to be let out to con-

A company is formed in London,
says a New York paper, to establish a
line Of steam ships between that place
and Louisville, and st. Louis. This is
carrying out the true go a head prin-
ciples. In FIVE years, we expect to
receive London papers in Mississippi
by steam within ten days after their
publication.
The Steam Ship "Natchez," arrived
at the port Of Natchez on the | oh inst.
She has since paid visit TO Grand
Gulf and Vicksburg.
Gen. Jackson has lately become a
member of the Presbyterian Church.
a friend, who is a worthy member of
that church, suggests his doubts as 10
