This delegation comprises some OF the
most intelligent men IN our ~scoraintiity,
and we sincerely hope their business ar
raalgpmects are such his will ennble them
TO no 10 ille city at this time, and take
their seats IN the convention, From their
sposilion and inference they WILDE Of macl,
service jill that body. II has become a
settled cling that Rail Roads nre indispen.
sille to he prosperity Of the State. Her
aud her agricultural interests
impcratively demand them, and the time
has come when the matter should be well
taken in hand. The people rfs1ast be up
and doing, and lie sooner they begin the
better.
We have great hopes that the conven.
lion about to meet will be able to place
the infslter in such a trim as will insure
,tie sEeady commencement Of this great
want 10 our Improvement, and that it
will deyise some feasible plauby which
the undertaking may be started aud cur
ried out.
One Of the great obstacles to the NASH
vile Bail Road, we are convinced, is the
distance bet that place and New Or
aeans.: The idea OF a Rail Road nearly
six hundred miles in length seems at first
glance such a gigantic undertaking that
we are NOT surprised mt doubts arising up
Oh its rracticability. But this objection
falls d altogether to the ground. when it is
remembered that it is the cost Of the road
which renders it capable or incapable OF
being made.
Now il is estimated that the cost Of this
road would reach to about eight millions
Of dollars. Well, eight millions Of dollars
is doubtless a large sum Of money, bul the
magnitude Of an investment is nothing
The only question Capitalists ASK Is, will
it paysinterest? It was the answering
This question in the affirmative which ill.,
duced those living in the vicinity OF the
great Erie road, to subscribe and raiss tscen-
IN msshions Of dollars for the building Of
that road, which is near one hundred miles
shorter tsraia the proposed one from New
Orleuns 10 Nashville. And the investment
has been q lucky one for them, ais the
company are receiving sbout four million
a yctrs from it.
IF any one will take the trouble to ex-
anime the relative sections OF ceusiry
through which these two roads pass, they
cannot help being convinced that every
Thing forces the conclusion that the travel
and transportation on the contemplated
Nashville road will far exceed that OF tle
Erie. The vast and productive region of
country throngh which the road will pass
is Of itself convincing Of the freight
which would be carried By il, while be-
ing on the direct line Of travel for all per-
sons from the South and West going
North, the nrlaber Of passengers it would
carry would be immense.
OMly start the work, and it will go
bravely on.

Baton Rouge Convention.

MEssEs EplToRs We see from q
notice in the last Democratic Advocate,
certain Gentlemen OF this and adjoining
Parish of West Baton Rouge, have
been requested to attend a Railroad
Convention at New Orleans. We are
all most anxious here, to further the
project Of connecting New Orleans,
Will, the North and west, by means ol
railways. Our citizens believe the pros.
perity Of the South. and particularly ol
New Orleans, depends OH The speedy com.
pletion Of sllcll means, Of travel by latd,
ais may III some degreetequalize the adyan.
tages in this respect, which the North
already reaps, from our neglect. We most
sincerely believe, nothing viii save us
but speedy action il this matter, nnd for
one we are willing to be taxed for al i'm
provements, which can be proved asnzc.
aiately couducita, TO the wealth and
general prosperity Of the people. We
think If society tsasough her agents can
tax the citizens, to open and keep up, the
common roads Of the country, that there
is no good cause, why a parity Of reason
would not apply to works Of this kind
more permanent and beneficial in their
effects.
II our Constitution and laws will not
permit u,iressrained action in this all in.
portaItl matter, we liop' that our Legit-
latltre, about Q Q 70 assemble. may devise
solt,c ways and raezas to overcome this,
and all other obstacles.
