This very day, large portion of our former
trade is being rapidly drained off, by railroads
and canals, to Eastern ports. Even the tobacco
trade Of Kentucky, and the cotton trade Of West
Tennessee, is passing away from NewOrleans
to Atlantic ports; and, bound and chained
down by our present restrictive Constitution, we
are not able even to make struggle to regain
the old commercial empire, which is passing

We are at a turning point in the history of
our State. Railroads can save us but how are
railroads to be built Not upon the credit of
associated individuals, because they are not
known abroad; not upon their means, because
they are not sufficiently extensive, and because
they would not sacrifice them, in any case, to
the restrictions Of our present barbarous Con-
stitution. The State must be unfettered from
the bonds of an absurdly restrictive Constitu-
ton; and then, more liberal in its grants and
more energetic in its action, it may work out its
salvation. The growth and prosperity of the
State, and the MULTIPLICATION and prosnerity pf
the people, are one and the same thing.

The NeWorleans and Jackson Railroad

Il
On right line from NewOrieans to Jackson, Nisss-
spp the distance to the pine woods upland buyond the
\ lake isthirty miles,
On the route recently surveyed passing between
aurepas and Poutchartrn the distance to the like up
land is about fifty miles
From those two points to jackson, the distances are
about the same and the facilities for constructing the
railroad may be assumed as the same.
The difference then, is twenty miles The consruc
ting this whole fifty miles is estimated by those most com
petent to judge, at 5000 per mile, five add liberal
for the bridge the Manchac the whole cost
this most difficult portion the work must amount to
| about one million of dollars
this million of dollars expended upon the direct
ne 1t would give $685. 1888 per mile. Or if we deduct
miles being similar in all respects to the route around
the lake. and therefore not likely more than DOC
per mile should have left per mile for construct
ing the road across the lake.
Let deduct $4,000 per mile for the cost of iron "a lib

and have S3 400 per mile for constructing the track

Query. Would not contract be promptly taken at that
or less sum-
What the real diulties in the way of this PROPOSE
ton? 1t cannot be denied that difficulties exist
answer the following There may be others that do not
occur to me.
l. The lake is navgable water-the property of the
United States.
The questionable practicabity of making safe and
permanent track the lake. on account of its depth
and uncertain bottom.
The dangers to life resulting from any accident such
as running off the track with the cars
AS to the first difficulty, there would probably be no
opposition to the construction of the road provided suit
able draws were made each shore in the
middle of the lake. to admit of the passage of vessels
required by the law relating to roads across navgabe
waters.
to and from New0reans and its transit across the lake
would be parallel to- and not transverse line the
road and it would experience very little delay or OBJ
structen in passing through the draws.
The second objection shall endeavor meet another
number if this meets favorable reception Some works
new being constructed place this matter in light
altogether more favorable and such lights must be
needed by those who conduct public enterprise.
The third objection in great measure removed by
the simple suggestion that the track would be straight
throughout its whole length and therefore not likely to
experience such accidents the running the cars off
the track 1t is moreover obvious that it would be much
safer from the obstruction that vicious persons sometimes
place upon railways. With telegraph along the track
to communicate from side to side a risk of collision
could be avoided.
What the Inducements undertake this line rather
than the land route2
The answer is that it twenty miles of distance in
the line and avoids the dangers of inundation
The answer needs elaboration
