THIBODAUX LOUISIANA SATURDAY. MARCH TO- 1856

Any one can easily determine the above estimate
is correct, or rather under the TRUTH by taking into
consideration, the small cost of making the road
proposed by the Senate BILL ciM the wole business,
which would Of necessity, be performed by it, at a
fair profit, with the lowest charges
But this is only calculation of dollars and cents,
to be saved to the people, by exchanging their
present mode OF transportation, for the railroad.
The fact however, of essenng the cost of trans
porting our goods and persons fifty Or one hundred
per cent. cheaper, is only a portion of the good,
which is in store for the people living on the La
fourcne. 1t would alphabetically have the magical
effect mot of producing two blades Of grass where
but grew before, our planters would not covet
any more grass in their fields, than they have at
presently of stimulating the production Of double the
quantity Of every thing section of country does
or could p oduce for market. 1t would have the
further effect, (which may deem stiU greater
bessing) Of doubling the value of every foot of land
in the parishes near, and bordering on the La
fourche putting taco dollars in the pockets Of the
people, where they have but oae nosc.
1t would make us almost suburb of New Or
leans, enabling passengers to visit that city during
the day, ON sun to sun, do business of to 5
hours, and return home again in time for tea.
Making garden spot paradise ON earth, of our
c1tole Lafourche region, scth all the ameliorating
benefits, accruiug to people in State Of great
prosperity.
