We balieve that no railroad company in the
South hns managed it's affairs with more fidelity
ana with more enlightened discretion than the
Vickshurg, Shreveport and Texas Railroad Com
pany. Its success, in judgement, IS mainly
attributable t. the character and qualifications OF
it's worthy President, DIR. Q. g. Young. In
private letter from this gentleman, received o
day or two ago, we find the following Interesting
intelligence, which we take the liberty Of pub
fishing:

taken in discusging the suit vs.. the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad Company. l hope brighter day

and some time next month the cars will again
begin to make regular trips, and we shall i'm.

cept Of letters advising me Of the closure Of
the contract for the purchase in England, at a
very low price, of iron enough to lay the track
to this point, (Monroe,) and also to finish the
road across the parish Of Caddo. A first class
locomotive for the Western Division is now in
store at New Orleans, and will be sent up to
Shreveport with the iron, the first high water

Oppor unely with this cheering Intelligence
from the Louisiana road, we have received letters
and newspaper articles from abroad. promising
the most hattering results to the Texas enter
prise. We hope that this news may be con
irmed by results, and that this work may be
speedily resumed upon grand scale, rs the in

BROKE JA1L.--Ono D. S. Gavin, ga nice young
man, committed to Jail Of this county some
months since, for the alledged offence of COM
hitting an assault with intent to kill. broke Jail
on Friday evening last. 1t appears that be has
been lurking around in the Immediate vicinity,
for on Sunday night last, he visited our town,
procured his clothes from the place where he
formerly worked, and it is confidently beloved
that he stole a horse from widow lady living
near town and made tracks for parts unknown.
The said Gavin is ga fast young man. - about %
years Of age, weighs about 1876 or 40 lbs, is 8
feet or inches high. thick, heavy set, black
hair and eyes, has but little heard slightly stoop
shouldered, has swing to his walk, is qucs
spoken and ready to give bis opinion whether
asked to do so or not, and he is q carriage pain
ter by trade. He formerly resided in Arkansas,
where, it is said, he got angry one day and de-
faced the County Jail out of spite and left the
country in disgust. Our Sheriff has abiding
interest in this young sprig's welfare and will
give any one S75 if they will deliver the said
Gavin to him at this place, or his confinement in
any Jail so that be can get him. All good and
law-abiding citizens should be on the lookout for
him. We shall expect all gallant Editors TO
give this notice an insertion free Of charge, as
Gavin is believed to have stolen a horse from
