Railroads from New Orleans.

By notice in some of the city papers, it
seems an arrangement is about to be made be-
tween the Mobile and Pontchartrain Railroad
companies to make a road across Chef Menteur.
the Rigolets and the two Pearl rivers, thence
in to Mobile, some distance back from the Gulf
coast, so as to avoid as much as possible the
difficulty of crossing the numerous BAYS and
streams, on the line in the State of Mississippi !;
and it is supposed, from the unloubted practi :
cabiity of the route, nara million ofdoHars
will be subscribed in Mobile All this may be
very true, but the 9 praeticability" of the
route would be much more &c undoubted " if
these companies had determined to make con
nection with the Grand Northern and jackson
Railroad at point beyond the heat ioate,s
anu swamps OF Lake Pontchartran, and taken
the high land in direct line to Mobile or
joined the ONO and Mobile road instead of Mt
tempting the expense and uncertainty of cross
ing the outlets of Lake Pontchartrain. where
an unobstructed passage must be kept open at
MI times ior steamers, schooners, and all other
cralt tiat are continually passing, to say
nothing OF the storms that raise the water from
the Gulf eight or ten feet BY Joining The
Great Northern and jackson road there would
be great saving OF time and money, and il
would open country that is nov almost mac
eesslble, beng too far from the coast to have
water conveyance to either city.
II the enterprising Pontehartrain Company
OF any other Company, We're DESTROYS of com
manulng the Gulf trade, why not buy out the
Mexican Gulf Road In its present imperfect
condition it can be paying little more than lis
expenses and, no doubt, could be had on very
favorable terms; and it being the only route
by which the deep water of the Gulf can be an
proached by rail- they could have the present
track put IN order in short time so as to run TO
Lake Borne in one h0ur, and by next summer
nave cars running to Cat Island Harbor, where
there is lO TO oO feet of water at all times. md
