This is the caption Of the following edi-
torial from the Vicksburg Times.
We know Of no period in the history of
the past when there was brighter prospect
before the people Of Vicksburg than that
presented to-day. Within the last few
weeks the railroad leading from Vicksburg
through the rich cotton lands of the Deer
Creek county, has been placed under con
tract with parties whose character, means
and experience are a guarantee that the
work will 90 forward and the road be
pushed TO completion. The advantages that
will result to the trade of our city from the
building of this road is hardly to be estim-
ated, tapping as it does a region of IN
equaled fertility and bOundless resources.
The arrangement has but fairly been con-
summated for the building Of this road
when we learn that the Ship Island road is
also under contract. and that work viii
commence by the middle of this week, and
be pressed rapidly forward with view to
securing the State subsidy We have
watched the progress Of this enterprise
with deep interest, feeling that Vicksburg
would be more largely benefited by the
building Of this than any other of the pro
iected roads
The Deer Creek and Yazoo Valley roads
will bringa large trade, but still Nicksburg
does not become what we would have her,
She remains tributary to New Orleans, in
stead Of becoming what she of right ought
to be, a cotton market equal if not superior
to New Orleans. The other roads will
bring the cotton to Vicksburg, and the
Ship Island road will afford a quick, cheap
and direct outlet to the ocean, practically
making Vicksburg a seaport town, and al
fOrding her an opportunity Of shipping her
cotton direct, and on vessels of much
heavier tonnage than can by any possibility
reach New Orleans, and at the same time
escape the towage and other expenses in
cident to shipment by that route. AT the
same time it will open up vast region of
country lying between here and the gulf,
bringing a large trade to Eicksburg which
now goes elsewhere. Our city has good
reason to feel hopeful The building of
these roads insures her prosperity, and we
hope to see our citizens extend the same
liberal assistance to this that has been
given TO the Deer Creek road. Let the
mayor and board of aldermen take the
matter in hand, order an election; and we
feel confident that our people will vote
unanimously for a liberal subscription.
