Mr.. NJ. jackson writes from Liberty TO
Mr.. V. b, Van Huff, Of WUodyiIIe, as fol-
lows:
We have a very tiattenng prospect of
having the railroad built from Liberty to
Summit. We have engaged the services of
a competent engineer, who will commence
the survey about the first of August If
the road is built to Liberty, / think there is
but little doubt that it will 20 ON to Wood
vile. After the suTV8y has been made
here, it will cost but little more to survey
the route through to WOodville while the
engineering party is organized. | think if
the people in Wilkinson will take an inter
'est in the matter that General McComb will
put the road through with the State subsidy
and what each county will do.
The people at Centreyille, and along the
line, are alive to it, Stir up the citizens
and cooperate with us. We have employed
Major Green to survey the route.
The WOOdville Republican says:
1t would be well for our citizens of this
county to take some interest in the enter
prise and endeavOT to have the survey eX-
tended to WOOdviile. We hope our citizens
will use some energy in regard to improve
ments, especially IN railroads, and co Oper-
ate with our neighbOrs of Amite.
This branch road would certainly benefit
New Orleans and bring this city into more
direct communication with Woodville, Lib
erty and the country whereabouts.

JOINT REsOLUTION

Relative to the removal of a duty from rice
by the Congress of the United States,
and instructng our Senators and Repre-
sentatives relative thereto.
WHEREAS, The Congress of the United
States Of America are contemplating, in
the readjusting Of the national tariff, TO re-
move tax or duty from rice, which act
materially affects one Of the largest pro-
ductive interests of our State, and other
wise fails in the first duty Of a government
IN the protection of its material interests,
by the enforcement Of healthy revenue
laws in the interest of protection to Amer
lean industry; therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives Of the State of Louisi-
ana in General Assembly convened, That,
in the deliberate judgment of the General
Assembly thereof, it would be an unjust
measure and against sound public policy
tor the Congress of the United States of
America to remove the duty or tax on rice
at this time, in view of the large national
debt, and the depressing condition Of the
