! Nrw ORLEANS N RED R1vhR.-lhe
planters of Red River, says the New Dr.
cans Picoyune, are earnestly preparing
to connect themselves by rail with New
Orleans, The difficulties OF navigation
which at certain periods Of the year
nearly cut of their connection with mar
ket, the expenses incident o the tator OF
transit, and the losses experienced fro'"
inability 10 put their crops s%easonabIy IN
the bands Of factors, form strong lncen-
,ives to general and a liberal s"bScr'p-
ton to the proposed road. Already a
largo amount of stock has been taken,
ond is believed a considerable portion of
the work has been secured beyond pos
sibiIity of a failure.
A road from Shreveport to West Baton
Rouge, in connection With the Crosse
Tete road, is within the power of tt e
wealthy planters IN the route. The con-
struction Of the lower portion Of the
road, from its junction with the Crosse
Tete at the AtchafaIaya to Cotile in
Rapides, is certain. The next step to
the borders Of NatcbitocI.es without
doubt will be accomplished. The only
question of doubt is whether the peop'e
of that parish will push it on to the De
Soto line. From the neighborhood Of
Baton Rouge it cannot be doubted a cot-
%nection will, within a very short period,
BE- made with the New Orleans and
Jackson road.
This outline Of the route by which the
proposed communication of the Red Riv-
er parishes with New Orleans and all
parts Of the country, viii show that no
great difficulties stand in the way of the
enterprise. The benefits to North Lou
Of the proposed connection it is
impossible to estimate. The tide of pop
which now sets in that direction
would receive an extraordinary increase.
The fertile parishes Of the northwest
would be suddenly developed in all their
varied resources, and would become the
most prosperous region Of the State.
To the city Of New Orleans such an
improvement is Of great Importance, and
cannot be viewed with indifference. We
hail the movement now making as the
guarantee Of good to us as well as to the
'uroI districts more Immediately benefit
ed, and trust tho enterprise aroused
will be found equal to the undertaking,

bratcd Letfer.-lt is now admitted on al
hands that the defeat o' Seward at Chi
cago, was mainly due to the ctfo,ts O
Horace Greedy. who las long CHERISHED
y grudge against the champion Of the
irrep,es-ible conflict. Tie following is
published in the New York News AS the
identical letter whicl, Greedy wrote to
Seward in 1854:
New YORK, Nov. 3. 1854.
To Hon ". II. Ssmard:
Sir desire to state to YOU that the
firm Of Seward, Weed Greeley is from
this day dissolved by the withdrawal OF
he junior member of the firm.
When l edited the Jeffersonian, a,
Albany, you and your friends acknowl.
edged the effect o my labors in the cause,
in eIevating you to the office Of Govern
or and United States Senator. For my
iabors in sustaining you l only received
ten dollars a geek to support my wife,
self aud CHILD.
When you was Governor Of this State
with great patronage in your hands, no
offer Of any position to assist me was
ever made. When General Harr son
was elected President, you had fu | con.
troll Of the federal patronage 10 this State,
and l received no consideration at your
hands. When General Taylor was cleo
ted President, you also had the prime,
pal disposition Of the federal patronage
and, in connection with Mr.. Weed, you
made Hugh Maxwell, Collector Of this
port, a man who never was entitled to
the confidence Of the Wing party.
Instead Of rewarding men who lad
faithfully adhered to Henry Clay and to
you. such men as Zebedee King, an out
cast from Nova Scotia, was appointed
Surveyor o: the port; David A. Bokee
was made Naval Officer; William v.
Brady, Postmaster; William H. Leroy
Naval Agent; Hiram Fuller. Naval
Storekeeper; Jno. Young, Sub-Treasu-
rer and a man selected for United States
Marshal whom you know ] cannot name;
and vet, %whiIe'you knew I bad lost every
dollar that 1 possessed in starting the
Galway line Of steam packets, to benefit
Ireland and yourself, no offer was made
Of assistance or place. Subsequently i,
was understood by my friends that l
should be a candidate Of our party for
Governor, and your consent was given
but instead Of supporting me, you and
your friends nominated that trimmer an6
little villain, Raymond, for Lieutenant.
Governor, who was Of no advantage to
our party, and a man whom to know is
to detest.
In all the positions l have labored to
place you, the emoluments and the hon.
ors have been divided between yourself
and Weed. ,
l have nov 10 say that any support

The Austrian Artillery has been making
experiments with rihed cannon loaded with
gun cotton. Although the twist is very con.
siderable, the pieces can be loaded at the
muzzle AT the last account they had sue
ceeded in throwing six pound ball three
miles with six ounces of gun cotton. Thee
guns are very light, and this, with the small
quantity of ammunition required, renders
them particularly applicable to mountain
warfare especially as it is possible to fire for
considerable time before the enemy learn
whence the shots are coming, since the gun
cotton makes no smoke.
