The Telluantepec Railroad,

On the first page of to-day's paper will
be found the report Of the Permanent
Committee, :" appointed by a pubic meet.
ing in New Orleans, some months since.
To investigate the project of building q
Railroad acruss the Iathmts Telluantepec,
in Mexico. The synopsis will rs found
to be interesting and valuable. Tl,e>repoft
in full, has been since received. It is
from the pen of Mr.. J. z. Benjamin, and
is all able production. We shall endeavor
TO GniToom for it in orr next publication.
Tie building of this road you'd lie Of
immense benefit to the city Of New Or
leans, aud, as a necessary consequence,
Of n general advantage to the State
This will be the case, in any event, if the
road is built at all. But, il is also impor-
tant, in the first degree, that the contfol
and management of the road should be
| within the limits of Louisiana-should
centre in the hands Of the merchants and
capitalists Of the richest State iii the Val
ley of The Mississippi.
The difficulty in the way Of retaining
this management and control, and Of con
sequently teaping the great profits which
wtRld flow from it, we advertel to at
length in orr last. The company cannot
organize, owing TO that proyissiots in the
law authorizing the formation of corpora
tons which limits the capital If Ill h~sEocia-
tidvs created under it to the sum of five
hundred thousand dollars. This sun
woSl be totally insufficient. It is an
enterprise which requires more millions
than to- law allows hundreds of thou.
sands. The deed Of trust from Mr.. Har-
gotts, Of New York, to certain gentlemen
III New Orleans, expires OH the I'd Of May,
1852. The legislature does not meet TN
til the third Monday of january, 1869.
Without Legislative aid the company car.
net organize, aud if that aid be withheld
until tie regular session of the legislatufe,
the time allowed will be too short to admit
Of the organization Of such Il company
within the limit prescribed. and, as a neces.
sary consequence, all the rights and al.
vantages to New Orleans and to tic State,
acquired under the deed of trust from Mr..
lIargous, will be forfeited, and revert
back to New York.
It will be seen that the Committee ap-
pointed twenty delegates to wait upon
and confer with, the Governor, and also
provided for the drafting Of II memorial
soliciting legislative aid III the premises.
1t will, doubtless, be signed by thousands.
The following gentlemen comprise the
Permanent Committee referred to, appoint
ed by the citizens Of New Orleans, under
whose supervision and by whose authority,
the report was made The committee
numbers many of the first men Of Leuisi-
ana, in whose capacity and integrity the
public may place full reliance:
