We take the following interesting account of
II business transaction, together with sketch
of tho chief actor in it, from the New Orleans
U:lta:
The sale Of the plantation Of the late Dir. Ar
Elaud, Of the Parish Of st, james, took place on
Thursday, on the plantation. The prime pal
plantation, with one hundred and eighty ne
groes, WAS struck oG-with as little talk and
parade as would be made in selling quarter

city, for f64H, COY. This Is considered splen--
did Investment. as there are some sercu or
eight thousand aczrs in the tract, ard under
good management it ought to produce two

sugar culture. to nearly two millions. His
slaves now exceed one thousand Three years
ago Sir. Burnside purchased the magnificent
aoumas estate, with fve hundred slaves, from,
Col. John Preston, the cost uf which, with addi-
tons OF negroes aud lands. exceeded Il million
Of do'lars. The return on this investment for
the tvo years he bas cultivated the place, wc
venture tue assertion, is not exceeded by anv
Investment Ola like sum, in any part Of the
world. The profits on the first year exceeded
twenty per cent. md despite the unfavorabIe
this season will not fall far below that Of tie
preceding crop.
Twen.5-6vs years ago Nj. Burnside, who i
still hale. stout middle aged gentleman, was
dry goods clerk in Virginia, receiving tifty
dollars month His large fortune was acc,i-
mulated in this city. n q partner in the house

geode business. Carefully avoiding all *pecu1a.
,ion, he has relied on the legitimate profits and
course Of trade, and when those p1utits have
reached sum sufficient 10 justify IN elegant re-
tirement, amid ease and luxury. Tor the remain
der Of his life, he wisely determined to increase
his estate and gise active employ meat to his in
don'itable energies in tue management Of large
plantations and tic difficult culture Of cane.

Gov. Banks and the Illinois Central
Railroad.

The recent decision of the Hon n P
Banks, the present chief magistrate of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts,, to retire
from the field Of politics and devote himself
to the material interest of Illinois, has
awakened spirit Of inquiry among his
numerous personal and political friends as
to what his real position is to be. The
title of the Office which Governor Banks is
to assume in the above corporation is that
of t' Resident Director" He represents the
president and directors, who are scattered
over this country and Europe, and cannot
attend to the vast duties required of them
from day to day; hence this additional
office is found TO be necessary. He sits as
grand supervisor Of the entire business of
the corporation, which is divided into de-
partments like the government of a State,
only more vast and difficult than the gov
eminent of most of our States. All ques-
tions that cannot be settled by the heads of
these departments, in the execution of their
duties, have to be submitted to the Resident
! Director. In the course of events if any
question arises which requires additional
legal advice, the corporation has regularly
| salaried attorney to be called in. If, again,
a question arises which the Resident Di-
