New Orleans and Texas Railroad.

The name Of the Chattanooga rail
road has been changed to New Or
leans and Texas railroad. From an
article in a. recent number Of the
Bee, by a person who had travelled
over the finished part Of the road,
we extract the following:
Proceeding up the line at a mode
rate speed, the road-bed and track
were found in excellent condition.
The terminus of the days trip was
reached about II o'clock noon, at a
point SO miles from New Orleans,
near the line which separates the
parishes of st. John the Baptist and
st. James. Here was found the con-
struction train and the track-layers
engaged in laying down the cross
ties and the rails Immediately there
after at the rate of half a mile per
day. They are now only 20 miles
from Donaldsonville, which place
Mr.. Bayleyssays they will reach by
the LIST of May. Donaldsonville is
just 81 miles from New Orleans by.
the line Of the road and rs by the
river. Beyond Donaldsonville the.
road is graded and ready for the.
eross-ties for the distance of perhaps
twenty miles-say to Grand river.
The crossing from New Orleans to
the starting point on the other bank
of the river, lopposite the lower line
Of Carrollton, is to be accomplished
BY q large and powerful ferry-boat
similar to that now in use by Mr..
Charles Morgan for the transporta-
ton of freight and passengers across
the river to his depot at A1giers.
The freight cars will be loaded on
the levee, at the foot of Ca1liope
street, and ferried to the other side.
On both sides of the river an adjust
ing platform with movable rails
and q landing-stagessuch as are now
at the foot of st. Ann street for Mr..
Morgan's cars, will be constructed
in time for the opening of business.
1T is supposed that passenger trains
will run from New Orleans to Don.
aldsonville and back, some time in
July or August next, perhaps sooner.

have to spare, they would be more pros
porous than they are.
Citizens of the neighborhood of Hope
well, and members of the Farmers
Club, recently took some peaches to 4
between Culleoka and Hurri-
cane, to have distilled into peach bran
dy. He got the brandy, and after tast-
ing it sufficiently to satisfy himself that
it was very good, and little more be-
cause it was good, a bright idea struck
him that be would like TO take the
peach stones home and set out an or
chard, and then blow it in the Farmers
Club. Sure enough, he took them home,
leaving the Hurricane farmers to enjoy
2 big horse laugh at his expense. The
seed are as dead as amackeral, ofcourse,
haying been boiled to death.
