THE JACKSON RAILROAD.-One Of the
many complaints made by travellers passing
through New Orleans is the expense which
| they incur in transferring themselves and
baggage from and to the steamboat land
ings and railroad depots. The new admin
istration of the jackson Railroad have de
telmined so we are informed, to make ar
engagements at once to facilitate travellers
and lessen their expense, in passing through
the city, by establishing passenger depot
on the levee, close to the steamboat landing
the Pontchartrain railroad depo,
and the Chattanooga railroad depot
Travellers will then be- able to &C
through New Orleans in any direc
ton without expense, from whatever poin
of the compass they may come. The Jack
son Railroad Company also purpose erect
ing, without delay, on the corner Of st
Joseph and Baronne streets, a passenge
depot for the convenience Of our own cit
zens who find the present depot on Calliop'
street too far out of the way. This loca
ton can be reached by the street cars iron
any district of the city at an expense of fy'
cents. and in from FIVE to fifteen minutes
time, from all but the suburban districts.
Another improvement which is abont tt
be made by the officers of the Jackson Rail
road, is the checking Of baggage at tn
dwelling houses of our citizen in any par
of the city, the same to be delivered at an,
address in the United States, without trou
bic or care on the part of travellers.
This last Improvement IS the work o
Captain S. W. Scott, whose experience il
railroadirg and untiagging energy are thus
early beginning to make themselves mani
fest.
