COTTON FACTORY AT FORREST CITY,
AKA company is being formed to
erect a Cotton Factory at Forrest City
with a capital stock of $500, OGO. Forrest
City is situated Immediately on the Mem
phis and Little Rock Railroad, forty-hve
miles from Memphis, on the western
slope of Croley's Ridge; is surrounded by
as fertile land, and as energetic and public
spirited citizens as can be found in the
State. AND for good health it is unsur-
passed. There are several never falling
springs in the immediate vicinity, which,
combined with the fact that it is located
at the junction of the Memphis and Little
Rock and the proposed Helena and Iron
Mountain Railroads, renders it one Of the
most desirable points in Arkansas to
make permanent investments. We are
pleased to note the fact that our Arkansas
~neighbors are taking the lead in establish
ing manufactures, for we hope that in a
few years every town and village in the
South viii resOund with the clink of the
hammer and hum of the spindle. This is
certainly the true road K wealth and in
dependence, and every citizen who can
raise one hundred dollars should unite
with his n%eighbors and friends, and build
up manufactures. Every dollar invested
IL that way will yield from twenty-five
to fifty per cent. per annum. In con-
Guiding this article, we say success TO
Forrest City and vicinity. They are set
ting a good example.

THE FL PASO RAILROAD.
Fremont Answers the article Of the Evening
Pest.

General Fremont writes a long letter to
the Washington Chronicle, in vindication
OF his conduct in Paris in connection with
the Memphis & Ell Paso Railroad, from
whichw take the following extract of in
terest to our readers:
In respect to the right of way which we
are asking, there only remains now for
Congress TO grant a strip of land across the
Territory of New Mexico one hundred and
fifty miles in length, the rest having been
acquired from private corporations.
We own and control in Arkansas the
Memphis and Little Rock Railroad. In
Texas, the Memphis Il FL Paso Company
has fully complied with the conditions of
its charter, giving us the ownership of the
line through that State. In Arizona we
have purchased and own the charter of
the Arizona Company, of which the line
traverses that Territory, and have COM
piled with the conditions of its charter.
In California we have purchased and
own the charter, franchises and property
of the San Diego, and ella Southern Pa
cific, and Atlantic Railroad Company,
which ~traver-es that State, including 5000
acres of land in the harbor of San Diego.
In the h&rbOr oI Norfolk we own over l0.O
acres. In addition to these, contracts and
arrangements have been made by the
company with other roads. q
We have contracted WIKI The Western
Onlpn Aelc4rapl company 10 put up a
line Of telegraph along our read. Ar
rangemcuts are partly completed for es-
tabIishiug q steam freight and emigrsnt
line between Anyers and Norfolk, in con-
nection with the company. We have a
corps Of engineers engaged in locating the
San Diego and ella line. We are indebted
to the War Department. for military pro-
lection to our surveying parties, and for
permission to purchase their supplies
from the Government depO5s in that quar-
ter.
Under actual circumstance it is not too
much to say that the future Of the road
may bo regarded as secured, uotwith-
standing the strength of the combination
against it. Our contracts are in the course
OF uninterrupted execution. Shipments
of rails have began to reach New Orleans,
and the first ten engines viii be ready for
delivery at the end OF February. We are
about 10 lay the rails on the Texas divis-
ion. The Memphis and Little Rock Road.
of which one hundred miles are in opera
ton, will be fully completed by the 1st of
July. With the york in progress, we are
expecting to have at least two hundred
miles of read in operation before the close
Of this year, with an estimated net in
come of over a million of dollars.
