FRANKLIN, September 5, 1854
Mr.. EDITOR: Though not regular COR
respondent Of your paper, trust a few lines
from this secluded part of the country will not
be unacceptable. You are aware, presume,
that at this season of the year we have no
means Of access to New Orleans, unless we avail
ourselves of the mail route pia Donaldsonyille,
at which place, when we arrive, we are at once
mede sensible of our proximity to the city by
the exorbitant charges for accommodations,
should we be so unfortunate as not to meet a
steamer forthwith for the city
The contractor on the mail line, however,
from Opelousas to Donaldsonville, deserves
much praise for the expedition and comfort
with which he puts the passengers through %
Four horse Troy coaches, excellent drivers and
q little steamer, standing A No. l for speed and
safety, are as much, We take it, as the travel
ing public can reasonably require, until the
g iron horse 2 is prepared to annihilate time
and distance, BY the way, the New Orleans,
Opelousas and Great Western Railroad seems
to be in fair way to annihilate time, from the
manner in which it is consuming it. and as to
space, why New Orleans is about as far from us
as it ever was. Why, let me ask. is it that the
Great Northern Road has its cars running the
whole distance $50 miles), to the State line,
while the Western Road is still houndering in
the bays Of the Lake DIES Allemandes, not fifty
miles from New Orleans Or is it true, as has
been whispered, that by awarding the contract
for building this road to the same Company who
undertook to build the other, the Western Road
has, III great measure, been made to build the
Northern? Whatever the cause may be why
the road does not progress faster, 1t is certain
that the people are fast losing confidence in the
directory Of the roads. / am, however, more
sanguine than most persons, and hope, if am
not cut off before reach old age, to see the road
in operation before die yet.
For month past we have had almost daily
rains, and the roads are SO heavy that planters
find trouble in getting out their wood prepara-
tory to sugar making. Some planters have
commenced gathering their corn, and find the
yield at least tolerably fair The sugar crop at
this time promises well, but it is yet too early
to make any calculations on the yield.
Shut off as we are, at least during consid-
cradle portion of the year, from the balance of
the State, and therefore secluded, as have be-
fore said, the Know Nothings are said to have
penetrated even this far, and established a
Lodge 1t is even said that their members (and
the number) ere known, as well as the place for
the meeting of the Lodge. Since the recent ex-
positions made by the Courier and other pa
pers. but little of secresy seems to be left them
at least such is the general opinion. 1t seems
a little strange that no authoritative publica.

made, ! suppose, however, it will appear in
