RAILROAD MATTERS.

MF. e. B. Wheelock, the President Of th,
New Orleans Pacific Railroad, writes that b,
met with most cordial reception in Alexan
dris, and that the people evince determine
ton to do all in their power to assist in tn,
building of the road. Int two days Mr.. Vince
look obtained subscriptions amounting te
$4,000; the town council voted an appropria.
ton of $4,000; anu it is confidently believed
that the parish of Rapides, by popular vote,
illisubscribe $3.50, 900 towards the construc-
ton of the road.
This is certainly welcome and encouraging
news, and is well calculated to inspire the
friends of the enterprise with the strongest
hopes of its ultimate So ccess.
MIR. Wheelock is the right man in the right
place. and We can not but admire the pluck,
energy and vim he has exhibited since the
inception of the project He and his con-
freres have embarked, heart and soul, in the
cause, are working as industriously and per-
seve7ingly as beavers, and we sincerely be-
ieve the accomplishment of their grand
scheme is assured beyond doubt.
