A general reorganization of the N.
o., NJ. & T. r. r. Co., has taken place,
and it is announced that the basis
thereof will insure the early compile
ton of our railroad to its proposed
terminus, Houston, Texas. Two COM
panies have been formed, one to take
charge of the New Orleans g. Mobile
road, the other of the New Orleans g.
Texas road, what has heretofore been
known as the Louisiana Division of
the N, O. M. & T. Il. L. The two
roads are to be entirely independent
of each other. Three of the charter
directors of the Texas road are to be
New Orleans men-Messrs. S. II. Ken
nedy, L. F. Generes and Col. Hunt of
the firm of Macatllay s. Hunt. The
first election of directors will take
place on the first Monday of June,
1874. It is proposed to wipe out all
the obligations of the old company
and begin with new slate. This
plan will need Legislative sanction,
and hence can not be carried into eff
feet until after next January, but as
the men engineering it are of well
known energy and experience in such
matters we have confidence in their
ultimate success. Besides completing
the road to Texas, it is proposed to
build d branch line from Vermilion-
vile to Shreveport. This will make
the thoroughfare the best paying and
most important railroad in the South,
and an Invaluable acquisition to New
Orleans.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE
BURNSIDE BASE BALL CLUB.

BUkNSlUE BASE BALL OLUB.
They Visit New River and Vanquish
the Independent Rangers---A Large
Number Of People Witness the Came
Our Boys" Well Received by the
New Riverites.
In all the glory of their splendid
new uniforms, the first nine of the
Burnside club left town last Sunday
morning, about eight O'Clock, in the
large wagon belonging to the Ascen-
sion Brass Band, drawn by four mules.
Proceeding up the river to Mr.. Felix
Rodrigue's store, they left the gaudy
vehicle and the long cared motive
power to enjoy we'll earned rest and
provender and walked to Dominique's
ferry landing, where they entered
skiffs and were rowed across the river
to New River lane. Mr.. Felix Rey-
naud's wagon here awaited them, and
they We're soon aboard the vehicle
and bound down the beautiful lane.
Arriving at Mr.. Reynaud's about
twelve o'clock, they were invited to
partake Of bountiful cold lunch
spread for their benefit by the lady of
tho house, and right heartily did they
enjoy it. After brief rest, they pro-
ceeded to Mr.. V. ?. Landry's place,
stopping moment at Mr.. j. B. He
bert's to indulge in glass of pure
cool milk. Shortly after reaching tho
end of their journey they partook of
a dinner in Mr.. Landry's ball room,
in company~ with the Independent
Rangers and some invited guests, and
then repaired to the ball field.
A large crowd of spectators had
assembled to witness the game and
much discussion upon the probable
result thereof took place among them.
At q o'clock the captains tossed a
nickle for choice of innings, the Burn
side officer winning the toss and send
ing the Range to bat. Henry D.
Minor, Esq, was chosen umpire and
"play" was called. By the score
which we give below it will be seen
that the Rangers took the lead and
kept it until the fifth inning, when
the Burnsides, who had been gradu-
ally but surely creeping up, forged
ahead and easily won the game by q
score of n TO 81. In the sixth inning
all error was made by the scorers
which added 6 runs 30 the score of the
Rangers that were made after three
men had been put out. The result
should have been "a to %. The bat
ting of the Burnsides was excellent
and their fielding quite good. The
Rangers play well together, and in
fact are in better training, we think,
than were their opponents, but the
Burnside nine were too strong for
them. The base play of the Rangers
was very good, but few wild throws
being made during the game. Among
the players who deserve special men
ton are the first and second basemen
of the Burnside club, who excelled in
| their positions. The following is the
detailed score:
