SOUTHERN pAorr1c RAILROAD.


Reliable information has been received in this
city to the effect that the prospects of this great
enterprise were never SO good as at present.
Messrs. DeGrat, Smith & Co.. contractors for fifty
miles of the road, will commence operations next
week with fifty negroes, and will push the work
steadily and actively forward. The difficulties
which at one time eramped the operations of the
Company have all been removed, and no obstacle
now remains to a vigorous prosecution of the
work.
In addition to this, we find the following eneour-
aging information in the Marshall (Texas) Repub-
lican of the llth:
The SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAD-On Tues
day last DR.. Fowlkes left Marshall for Memphis
and New York, carrying with him the good will
and best wishes Of onr citizens.
The friends of the Southern Pacific Railroad have
reason to congratulate Dr. Fowlkes on the success
of his labors. AT no period since the commence
ment of this great enterprise has it occupied such
commanding position befoke the public.
DR.. Fowlkes, during his brief stay in Marshall
has, we understand, effected an arrangement
which virtually extingushes $3.50 900 of the paper
previously given for Its Indebtedness, The remain
ing portion of the paper given in payment of the
Texas debt will be discharged in less than sixty
days, and an ample fund furnished to meet all
current expenses, to carry on the work Yigor-
ously.
The President Of the Company has been or
dered by resolutions Of the Board to purchase
the iron for one hundred miles of road, for which
he has ample means.
Messrs. Detiraff & Smith expect to commence,
witheut further delay, active operations on the
work. Their contract with the Company re-
quires the construction Of fifty miles Of road in
fifteen months, but it is their desire and inten-
Ton to finish it much earlier For this purpose
| they propose to let out sub-contracts at reason
able rates for cash. Mr. Smith has left for the
Northwestern States to purchase corn provisions,
| and other supplies, to be in New Orleans ready
/ for shipment as soon as navigation opens in Red
river. The stock books have been closed.
Such are the condition and prospects Of the
Company, without the anticipated aid Of Con.
gress With that aid, its stock will be invaluable.
And II Is worthy Of remark that every man who
| went to Washington during the past session OF
/ Congress, with whom we have conversed, all join
| n the assurance that Mr.. Wigfalls bill granting
passed at an early day after the commencement
!. | of the ensuing session.
