MAILS FROM New ORLEANS TO New YORK IN THREE
DAYS AND A HALF.-At the annual meeting of the
New Jersey Railroad Company, report was made
by the Vice President, from which we make the
following extract. The fact limited at OF carrying
the mail from New York to New Orleans in mree ana
hdlf days, within year from the lSt OF next
month, is of the most astounding announcements
of this fast age: :,
''To show the Importance of this road, and the
diversity of its relations, statement was maue oi
the connecting roads. Commencing at ne" ioIh,
it forms with the Camden and Amboy road the
main line to Philadelphia, where the Pennsylvania
Central and its tributaries extend it indefinitely to
the wide West. Continuing south by the baltl,
more road, it meets like divergence Tor travel

eTn connections. At Baltimore also, the seaboard
Southerly route can be taken down chesapeake
Bay to Norfolk and the Roanoke Railroad, or

ent time.
"The main routes are also now being so intersected
with railroads through the South and West, that

therefore Inferred and hence the authority to short
en- their main line, by avoiding the short curves at
Newark has been sanctioned by decision of the
u. s. Circuit Court An appeal has been taken to
the Supreme Court but there said to be no doubt
of its final afirmance.'
SLAvERY.IN TExAs.-There is a serious danger of
of the utter defeat of Southern hopes and aspira-
tions touching Texas, and that in the very heart of
the South in the region of all others best adapted
to the successful cultivation of Southern products
and to the consequent remuneratlng employment
of slave labor, feeling of settled opposition to
slavery exists, which, if not counteracted, will ult
mately neutralize the entire benefit conferred by
the act of 1850, and to incorporate the largest,
finest and most fertile part of Texas into the family
of Free States-Ne,o Orleans Bee.
