NDAY MORNING, MARCH u, 1860.

icb Me eAteHu the grip Oh fellowship 70 u al non1e
and at the same time tell you what we did and
what We saw In coming UP to Canton.
We eft-S. NJ Moody, the indominitable and re-
nowned man Of shirts, our man Friday and my
sel-by the " A. N. mail express train yesterday,
accompanied with batch of painted signs and
canvas banners, sufficient to fill half baggage
car, together with clean paper collar, tooth
brush and an ample supply Of "eye.openersn and
"the weed" The morning was-but you all know
what It was-as bright and shining as new quar-
ter IN darkey's paw three cars full almost to
overlooking with merry passengers and off we
started on our pilgrimage to disseminate good
through the land.
Arranging our posters in systematic ORDER like
phalanx OF well-dfilled militia men, ready TO
pounee upon every station we stop at, and drop
for on return, we sitnmered down in our places
and betook ourselves to a casual observation of
men and things by the way-sde. The track Of
the Jackson road between the city and Kenner, 80
much injured by the Bonnet Care erevasse, Is now
thoroughly repaired aud in excellent order in
deed, what was at first supposed to be an impass-
able barrier on the road, the Shaking Prairie, -
now one Of the sfnoothest and best pieces OF work
on the line, and the whole distance to Canton will
now compare favorably with any track in the
North. Reaching Kenner, we dropped our first
remembrancerf, and sped onward, without an in
cident to remark, further than the dismal cypress
swamps and an occasional glance of an alligator,
until we pulled up ct Pass Manchac.
Crossing Little Prairie, we again reach dry land
and dash into the first piney woods. The soil here
suddenly changes from the black, rich loamy
character of our ctys suburbs to the yellow sand
Of the lake shore, and the land assumes gentle
nndulation very acceptable to the eye Of long
sojourner at home. At Ponchatoula d moments
delay affords us chance of leaving our cards and
compliments, taking an eye'opencr, ETC.; and
again we proceed, leaving cards, end taking ether
eye-openers, weed and drop Of sherry at Tickfaw
and at Independence. Atthe latter place southern
industry has inaugurated the building oil freight
and baggage cars which, from all appearance, will
soon ripen INTO larger growth and finer produc-
tons, such as passenger cars, etc Go ahead, In
dependence, and maintain the glory OF your name.
i AT Anite, which lB thriving amazingly, we met
The train coming South also crowded with passen-
gers, who gave us a shout Of welcome. Here
Moody IS again about with alacrity, and ia greeted
with many friendly paw. Hurrah for Noody's
shirts resounds from both trains OF passengers (;
and the engineer and breakinen, as if catching up
And becoming inspired with the new advertising
dodge insist upon p'acarding up our train,
fand accordingly our banners are tackled on the
sides oil the baggage car, and large signboard
hung IN front Of the iron horse, procaning to the
sllrtess, as ne snofsed along over space OF zoo
miles, the ZANZIBAR ihJaneuon Get yonr shirts IN

advertising BY steam and telegraph in good earnest.
