COWBOYS CANAL.
From the Mississippi to the GuIf-A
New Route TO the Sea-MeetInG
Called for Tuesday Night.

have read the report of Captain John COWdOn
on THE route to the SeabOard and the BlrataTla
canal" and concur with what you say, That 1t Is
not only the abeSt paper on the great question OF
cheap transportation now before the country, and
should be read by every person in the
Mississippi and Ohio valley, but that to
remain longer Indifferent to what he says
Is simply supreme stupidity on the part OF our peO
pie" The facts therein contained deserve aWlde cir
cuatOn, and In fuTtheTance OF this object suggest
that meeting be called at once, and committee
appointed to collect sufficient amount of money to
publish at least ten thousand copies, with sectional
map OF the canal route and lower LOulSl-
ana At the same time Captain COwdOn can
explain fully his plans to the public who
may thoroughly understand so that those who wish
TO iOn us can do so UNDERSTANDINGS This Is great
enterprise one that will not only enrich its found
try. AS Memphis and New Orleans have aided thus
far to naugurte 1t, why should we not be the bene-
fciareS? ,. j. CAMP.
