The ConquerIng Railroad Heroes In New Or
lenns.

The New Orleans Times has the following
Thomas Scott and H. s. McOomb arrived IN our
city last Saturday The advent OF these two dis
tinguished railroad men, and the large interest
they have taken in our Southwestern roads, very
naturally excites general attention and hopeful
ness among our citizens, who begin to compre-
hend more clearly than they ever have done, the
immense results to this city OF we-directed rail-
road enterprise. Upon this mainly rests the iu-
ture OF our city. Mr.. Scott is at present the
largest railroad manager in the world. His en-
terprise is coeval with the limits OF this Repub-
lie, and hardly limited thereby. Having occupied
and developed the vast resources OF the Middle
States, he naturally turns his attention to the
great South west, which opens the largest and
most promising field for that sort OF enterprise
Of any other section OF our country The hope
| is very general one that Mr.. Scott will take IN
charge the great Southern Pacific, and, by its
successful prosecution, throw into the back
| ground the Northern routes, which pass through
| a far less eligible country and by much longer
| route than that marked out in the south, which
| must start from this city and traverse the great
| State of Texas. MIR. McComb, who is associated
| with Mr. Scott, resumes his energetic labors n
| behalf of the Great Northern Road and its Yari
GUS branches. He will spare no effort or OK
pense to place that road on the best footing al
a FIRST class railroad-worthy OF its large patron
| age and great importance.
