Railroad.

A meeting Of the citizens Of Shreveport
was held on the 10Th Of June, for the pur.
posr of considering the projec, Of uniting
the Trinity with Red River by railroad
Over this meeting Mr.. J. d. b. De Bow
editor OF the popular Rreview which bear,
his name--a gentleman who has don,
more to stimulate enterprise in the South
srn States than any one, perhaps, in ths
couniry--presided. The design Of thi.
meeting was to agitate the subject properly
to appoint entcrprizing gentleman to exam
inc thoroughly the proposed project, ano
report their nvestig atoms, and also to ap-
point committee to attend n convention
to be held in New Orleans on the first
Monday in January next, in furtherancc Of
this object In that meeting I'm invitation
was extended to the counties in Eastern
Texas to take stops to be represented il,
the Convention.
Among the Delegates to New Orleans
we recognize the names of the most prom.
;nent men in Shreveport Tho committee
OF correspondence aud investigation are
also men OF talent and enterprise.
We had call from one of these gentle
men, Mr.. Il. N. Johnson, n few days ago
Mr.. }. has entered upon an investigation o.
the route and will give in due time. the re.
suit OF his labors. Mr. Johnson 10 a gen.

The canvass has opened pretty warmly.
The different. candidates in the field for tho
Legislature have been stumping il over the
county. As We are not as sagacious a.
some editors, we do not profess to know
how the election going to be determined;
but ouf best wishes are in favor of the
states rights candidates. In this race VIC
have no personal feelings to crafty; for
We entertain hind feelings towards every
candidate. They are all very clever gen.
tlemen. But the political principles At
stake, arc OF a different character, and lul.
IL warrant US in our opposition 20 the cleo.
of Mr.. Wood, Col Smith. and DR.. Dial.
As to the last named Of these gentleman
knowing that three months ago he WAS
with us on the question of southern rights
we had hoped tina: he was still with VI
Blu, we understand that he has gone over
to the opposition, and fully committed
himself to their doctrines. We regret this
change exceedingly There was no man
in the ranks OF the states rights party upon
whom We placed more reliance. than upon
this gentleman; no man whose advice We
were more disposed to kindly consider.
But he has jumped the political stake aud
ridered ieuce-he has allied himself with
his denounccfs- and we are now to recog.
nize him as political opponent. So be ii.
OF Mr.. Scott, his opponent, we have but
little to say. He is well known. lie
principles have been fully defined and no
idle attempt to brand him AS disunionis.
will do him injury.
OF DR.. Joseph Taylor, we may say one
thing, he made an excellen: member when
We elected him before Both of the Aus
tin papers spoke Of him, his talent, and HE
influence. in the highest terms. Through
his excflons. rs much or more than my
member in the Legislature, were we indel.
ed for a division Of the Supreme Court.
[ This was n matter in which the Eas, was
very much interested, and It's accomplish.
ment was much desired. 1t will be remem.
bered that the session OF the Legislature
for which he was elected was called one,
and of short duration. Ii it bad been
general ore, we doub, not he would have
done much more good. and have reflected

pet-the great Brazilian tiger, and one oil

the party ashore. He felt a repugnance to
that undertaking. and concluded to allow
things to take their wonted course. Herr
unlocked bis State-room door, and His Ma

After a little time spent in arranging
the state-room, Herr satisfied the Clerk and
others that his pet was entirely under his

considerable economy. Coarse hay, straw,
or corn-staIks, are, by being passed through

form for masication, and substances are eat
en- which would otherwise be rejected or
only partially consumed. Cutting affords
an opportunity for mixing fodder OF an IN

which would not be eaten by itself. Gut
ting also affords the most convenient means

them more time to reSt-the cutting per-
forming, in great degree, the work OF
chewing and preparation for DIGESTION
But it should not be attempted 10 feed stock
with substance which are chiefly destitute

stalks are little else than woody tibre, and
can be of little or no use in supporting ami
NAL life. Where a cutter is worked by a
horsepower, it may be an object to cut
such articles for the convenience Of work
ing them into manure.
Attention should be given TO keeping al

should be consulted in regard to both iooC
