Tie Crosse Teae Read.-On q recent visit
10 Bayou Crosse Tete, we find that the subject
Of the Levee Road, as proposed through our
columns to be made from the Ferry at Indian
Village as high up as the overflow reaches, has
met with the entire appreciation Of every per.
son on the Bayou with whom we have con-
versed, and an assurance given by responsible
gentlemen, that q most liberal subscription, or
aid in any manner deemed most advisable, NAV
be expected from that quarter. Are there none
here who have sufficient foresight-men Of
means, Of action and of inauencs-to prompt
them to take this matter theoretically in hand .
We are confident that there are. The activity
and prosperity of our town for the last few
years, clearly indicate that we have in our midst
men Of genuine public spirit and liberality
when any feasible and worthy undertaking is
proposed which 10 calculated to advance the
interests Of their town and parish. The true
source Of the wealth and prosperity Of q village
or a city is derived from the trade and COM
merce il has from abroad; and that trade and
commerce is decreased OF augmented accord.
ing to the facilities for travel which are offered
TO such market. The merchants and property
holders Of New Orleans knew well their inter.
ssts and the advantage Of opening new routes
for travel and for the transit of produce and
merchandise, when they subscribed so literally
to the great railroads recently undertaken and
which find their terminus in that city.
Now 10 the accepted moment for Plaque
mine to act in the above enterprise, if it 10 de-
sirable to secure permanently the rapidly in.
creasing trade Of the rich aud fourishing dis.
sricts Of Crosse Tete and the Marangouin-
secure it against all chance, in spite Of any po-
litical change that can be effected. We have
now for several months in the year steamboat
navigation for forty miles in that direction
from P~laquemine. Let US also have a good
road. passable at al seasons, and we may laugh
at all attempts TO draw from our town the trade
of the fine section Of country alluded to.
We propose a public meeting upon this sub.
jet on Saturday, 2Sd inst, and if seconded,
will make o regulnr call in our next issue.
