The New Orleans andTeXas eXten-
sion of the Chattanooga railroad is SUBJ
stantially graded as far as Donaldson
vile. The grading from that point to
Grand River is in successful progress.
During the winter theSmost difficult
part of the whole line of structure will
be overcome, that across the Valley of
the Atchafdlaya, and next summer the
grading will be finished to VerinilliOn-
vile, a distance Of q hundred and
twenty-five miles. When the road
reaches this point, it is the plan OF the
company to contract for buildingthe
remaining distance to the Sabine in
small sections, so that the work will
go OH simultaneously on various parts
of the line, securing a speedy compile
ton of the whole to the Sabine. Be
yond that river, and between it and
Houston, the company are subFOgated
to the rights of the old Texas company,
but without other grants and privileges
than the right of way. But except
those who are directly and immediate
ly interested in the Texas Central rail
road (leading nOrthward via Sherman,
Red river and Southwestern Missouri
to st. LOuis), the extension is generad-
ly favored by Texans, and will, no
doubt, be aided by the State govern
ment.
