construction of railroads. at a little cost.
When that shall have been constructed, the
company will come into possession Of Cos, 600
acres of land, officially reported as accruing to
the company, under the donation act of Con
gress Of 1856. The lands are of fine quality,
and when they are opened TO the settler BY
the completion of the road, it is estimated that
they will twice pay for the whole construction
of the road.
The entire distance to the Sabine of these
three divisions, from NewOrleans to Berwick
Bay, and from Berwick's Bay to Opelousasl
and from Opelousas to the Texas line, is 23s
miles, and the road, with its equipments and
stock, will be worth, on a fair valuation, str
Millions; but as q source Of increase and
wealth to the State of Louisiana, and to the
city IF NewOrleaus, its value is iica'culable.
The real future Of this city lies in these ives
tern developments, the opening Of channels for
intercourse with the mighty regions which lie
there nndeveloped, and to which competition
can not reach.
We should make hasteto improve these OPP
portunitics, and none presents itself with
greater promise Of early profit or more assured
prospects for The satisfaction of the most sen
sitive capitalist than this Ope!ousas Road,
which has worked its way so far so success
fully through trying obstacles, and is now in
a condition, aided by the public confidence it
so well deserves, to go to early and complete
success. Picayune.
