Sew Road TO BAYOU UcSiari.

The movement TO open and grade a
new road from the corporation lin" of
of Monroe to the Bayou DcSiar,i, be-
ginning ut Il point equi-tlistant between
the tcrmini OF DcsSiar,i and Grnnnlont
streets, is, we learn, likely to prove I'M
successful, owing to the non-currpnce
of the city Council in the proposition
! OF the Police J ury.
\ new road to the DcS;iur,i i Ger
tain!N on" OF our most important local
wants. The distance to the DrSiarI,
by the present road, can be short
rDc: at least one and q half miles
by opening a new road. Three miles
to Il planter in MOrrhouSr trading here
is no small item to be saved. And if
the route Of travel can be battcr"u for
wagons and other vehicles, ii certainly
ought to be done.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Robt. Layton
informed us that he expected, at 4 FIJI
turc day, to open Il road along his up
per line in the direction Of the De
Stare! as far as his land extends. Judge
Bakers land lies contiguous to Mr..
LaEton'S, and he also is anxious to
have Il new road opened. We cannot
see why these gentlemen cannot COM
binc with the Parish, and, with private
aid and whatever the City would do,
open :, road along this route. 1t has
decided advantages over the other
route, and will commend itself to the
interests of many of our merchants and
, propcrt E-holNrrS over the route first So
lcrtrt. The lower portion of the city
'n,i~; hay" Il lar.:" drain into the
swamp, and here is Il chance, to got :,
drain and an excellent road at the same

City Wlturfbnat Ordinance.

We have read with some surprise The
ordinance passed by tic de .it,rto Cay
. Council in reference to Il wharf boat.-
/ The plan contemplated in the petition
presented to that body, rs explained 10
us by its author, met with ourapproral.
We understood that this plan left it OPP
tionai with boats TO land at the wharf
fit; hut that the superior facilities offer
ed would generally induce them to dis
charge freight ut the wharf boat. The
ordinance makes such landings COM
pulSrry rs will l,c seen blythe following
section
Sec. 1. BE it further ordained. etc.,
! That said point above designated in
section one hereof shall lie the place
! where all steamers and other vessels
shall land, and no vessel shall be per-
mittcd to land at any other landing
! within the corporate limits of said city
for the receipt or discharge of freight,
under the penalty of paying the wharf,
| age dues, AS herein provided for.
All up-frcightS will undoubtedly
be discharged at the wharf boat; but it
would be impracticable to ship and re-
ceive all the cotton sent hence, at that
point.
The ordinance permits :, charge of
$3.50 ON all boats making this city the
terminus of their down trips. We
doubt the sound policy of this provision.
Trade ought to be encouraged from
above, in every possible way, and not
subjected to any burthcn-. We hope,
therefore, to soc this provision repeal
ed, in practice at least, and notice given
to that effect.
We are hardly competent TO judge
whether $40 per month and wharf boat
facilities area sufficient Reimbursement
to the city fora REIMBURSEMENT to Capt.
Odell, OF all wharl:,ge dues; bat such is
the price OF the REIMBURSEMENT OF 4
revenue which ought to amount annu-
ally to over ::nOU, and which during
the next five EcarS-thc duration of the
cOntract-OuGht to hc considerably in
creased.
The remaining provisions in the or
hinancc appear 10 be proper enough.
No charge is to b" made on freight, for
storage, unless it remains Oh board over
- hours. y dray road is to be graded
down the bank, and freight may be ta-
ken from the boat without Charge
| There will be some difficulty, we sus-
poet, in obtaining Il right of way for
this road, unless the oWncIs of riparian
lots cOnccde the right The CITY re-
serves the right ut any time to construct
!, wharf, and thcrcupon revoke the con-
. tract with Capt. Odcll. Capt. Odcll is
made whari-mastcr, and is 10 give a
bond Of $500 for tic faithful DISCHARGE

Castor Springs.

These springs are situated about 20
miles southwest of Columbia and not
far from thC point forming the corners
of Caldwell and CatahOula parishes and
tn" line OF Winn. The springs are but
two in number. Not much attention
is at present bestowed on this once
