ALGlERs AND OPELousAs RALRoAD.-The
meeting of the delegates to the .Alglers and Ope-
lousas Railroad Convention, took place in New
Orleans last Monday. Respecting it, the Pieayume
says:
The event marks an important era in the
history of our city, and is full of promise of
future benefits promise which we hope is
destined to be realized. We understand that
the convention will be remarkably well attend
ed, and that the members represent a large pro-
portion of the wealth and talent oftIe country
parishes. This fact is indicative of the feeling
entertained by our country friends towards the
enterprise, and is almost 4 sure guarantee for
its ultimate success. AT any rate, the delibera-
tons of the conventions are sure to be charac-
terized by a fair and liberal spirit, such as ought
to be displayed towards a great scheme in
ended to advance the prosperity not only of
a large section Of the State, but also of our
own city.
