From the quotation which we give below
from 4 The Sugar Plnoter \ The public will
discover that steps are being taken to extend
this road 10 Alexandria via the Atchafalaya,
or to the lAtchafataya alone, and that q corps
Of surveyors hive been appointed at the head
Of which stands Mr. B Ford TO make ON i'm
mediate survey Of the route. We are pleased
10 see this movement, and should the report Of
Mr.. Ford be favorable for nv extension Of The
rnad To the Atchafalaya, VI do not hesitate TO
say that the citizens Of this parish will make
very liberal subscriptions. bnt Of, the contrary
should the determination be 70 rim the road
direct from its present terminus 10 Alexandria,
then sncf road would be Of but little advantage
To III, and would not meet with much encour-
agement from our parish. Gen. Barrow who
has beer rejected 10 visit our parish to solicit
subscriptions for the extension Of this road
Twill meet with d kind and warm reception, and
nponshis disclosures our citizens will be greatly
influenced.
Our friend and contemporary Of " The Sugar
Planter . Is certainly labouring under d mis-
take, when lie places the communications d
our correspondent B. ] S in antagonist
ID an extension Of this road in not being .
Z paying i,uestmenf."
