NEW TIES BETWEEN LOUISIANA AND CuBA.-That
strong ties Of sympathy and good feeling exist be-
tween the Pelican State and the Ever Faithful Ise
by reason Of their geographical propnquity, SINH
arty of trade Gas respects the saccharine staple,
at least) and natural political proeliytes is well
known 10 all. There are still other ties which have
lately manifested themselves, and must do much
toward improving the cordial feeling already sub
sisting between the two countries. These are cy-
press cross ties, by hundreds of cords, which are
being cut and hewn in the swamp back of our city
and shipped in whole cargoes to Cuba, for the
laying of railroad from Matanzas to some interior
settlement of the prolific Island. Any one going
down the Pontchartrain Railroad must notice the
/ little swamp seows which come up by the little
bayous and bitches in fleets or trains of six, each
fleet poled along by one man, and each scow loaded
down with three whole cross-ties. In the dark and
muddy recesses of the swamp, where none but the
woodcutters and the -gatheTers ever go, fsave
now and then some mad hunter or runaway negrol
the young expresses are felled and cut up and
hewn and the ties brought to the railroad as above
described. On Elysian Fields street there is now
standing rank of ties, piled eight feet high ind
square and half long, awaiting shipment; and
this is but part of what has already been brought
out of the swamp, or what will yet be brought out
The construction of the Matanzas Railroad will
owe much-in fact all, except the iron-to the
cypress swamps of Louisiana.
