SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

We are gratied at learning from the local agent of
this road that the stockholders and others not stock
holders, but who properly appreciate the value Of
this great enterprise to our city, are coming forwa I'd
freely to make the loan asked for by the agent upon
pledge OF one share Of five dollars OF the reduced or
new stock for every one dollar loaned redeemable
on the LIST day of January, 1860, with per cent.
interest. y
The security offered for this loan is ample, and
those who contributed to it will aid in bringing about
a most desirable end-in fact, an end which secures
the immediate progress Of the road to the beginning
of the brilliant future which it promises to-wt the
paying off of the entire Indebtedness Of the road and
the securing Of the services President Of the Com
pany, OF j. E. Thompson at present President of the
Pa Central Railroad, man of rare financial abilities
and an able and practical railroad builder.
No enterprise has ever been inaugurated W hich
promised such business advantages to New Orleans
as this and every citizen that owns property to the
value of $780, who is in any wise interested in the
business of the city, ought to come forward now
when his aid can accomplish 80 much, and respond
to the call of the agent. II not stockholder, so
much the greater reason for his contributing to the
loan. In consequence Of his not having been
stockhoder, he has had none of " the burden and
heat OF the day" to bear as others have, and he Is
better able to help now, and should unhestatngly
come to the assistance OF those who have borne it.
Stockholders could not serve themselves better
than by assisting in the present emergency. Al
ready we are reliably informed tnat large amount
OF stock has been sold at par az Louisville and
New York. II the prospect OF the debt OF the
company being paid OF, and OF securing the services
OF Mr. Thompson has thus enhanced the value OF the
stock what may we not expect When tnese desirable
ends shall have been accomplished! What railroad
throughout the vast railroad system IN the United
States can produce such evidence OF public conf.
dence in the ultimate value OF the enterprise as this

The North Louisiana Baptist, Of the 4th inst,
says:
An abundance of rain during the past week, in
many places washing down fences njuring the land,
etc. The greatest rain fell last Sunday from about
six to eleven o'clock A. M.
Its effects on cotton must certainly be disastrous,
causing it to shed its young bos and forms, while it
is too late to resusctate corn.
The health Of this place is uneXceptionable though
we hear of some sickness through the country the
bayous and creeks.
The Alexandria (Rapides) American, of Saturday
last, has the following:
The clerk Of the weather has behaved quite de-
Gently during the past week. He has sent US show
ers occasionally, and not more heat than we have
right to expect at this season. The crops through
out the parish still promise most favoraby. We hear
but few complaints concerning caterplars, worms,
etc.
We learn that man by the name of Anderson
was shot at Spring creek or on Pine Island, on the
night of Thursday, the 4th inst We have not heard
the particulars as yet.
The Advertiser says mad dog was shot in Baton
Rouge on Monday last.
From the Baton Rouge Comet we extract the fol-
lowing:
On Saturday last, the 9th instant, this place and
vicinity was visited with very severe wind and rain
storm. Trees and fences were blown down and
signboards moved from their mooring. The Oldest
nhabitant, who is weather-wise and Observing does
not remember to have seen so much water fall in SO
short time, within the limit of his memory. Gut
tiers and culverts in town were speedily choked up by
the flood and some Of the streets looked more like
canals. In fifteen minutes after the rain commenced
falling Goose Hollow the principal drain to the east
of the city, afforded navigation for the largest water
craft. Some three miles east very large new brick
sugarhouse, partly erected on the plantation of
Thompson Bird, ESD, was blown down, adding ad-
dtional weight to the many misfortunes which this
gentleman has been called to bear within the past
few months.
Whilst the storm was raging, very heavy land
slide occurred in West Baton Rouge at Ricard's
Point, about five miles from this city. Fully five
acres of the point slid into the river with several
buildings and almost instantly disappeared. For
tunately no lives were lost This slide will have
important effect on the channel at Scotts Bluff,
where there has long existed powerful eddy.
When we hear from the East-Livingston and st.
Helena parishes-we expect to learn Of great dam.
age to the growing crops in that region, where the
storm seems to gather its head.
