NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC.
Immediate Effects of Its Completion.

The President OF the New Orleans Pa
cific, in his recent visit to Texas, was
assured everywhere that the completion
of that road would Immediately give the
direction of the whole travel and pro-
duce of that region to New Orleans. 1t
is claimed that it would increase the
cotton receipts alone at this port over
three hundred thousand bales. The
travel. too, from Southern and Western
Texas would prefer this route to New
Orleans. The people Of Galveston and
Houston would thus visit our city and
here make their purchases. The large
diversion of trade and travel to St Louis
by her railroad would be arrested by the
completion Of the New Orleans Pacific
to Marshall, when connections will be
established with all the railroads trav-
ersing Texas. !.
In view of such important results 1t
would seem that every citizen OF New
Orleans would cordially aid, to the ex-
tent Of his power, this great work
The present depressed condition oi
our trade and of values Of all property,
embodies an appeal and an argument
which must prove irreslstable 70 every
thoughtful citizen, in behalf OF TINS most
important enterprise. Let all VINO are
able put their shoulders to the wheel.

The IntcrnatiOna Chamber Of Commerce
ana Mississippi valley society.

We have been favored by the Hon.
jefferson Davis, President OF the Ameri-
can Department of the above named
society, with a copy Of its charter and
constitution. The President Of the
European Department is the Hon Jno.
Crosby, u very wealthy and influential
gentleman and member Of Parliament
with his office in London.
The objects are to promote direct
trade between the States and Terri
tories of the Valley of the Mississippi
and those Of Europe and Of Central and
Southern America, to induce and facili-
tate immigration, to collect and trans
NIT information in regard to the Missis-
sippi Valley, 50 as to lead to safe and
profitable investments Of European
capital and labor in aid Of the develop
ment Of the varied sources of wealth and
happiness with which this country is SO
bounteously endowed by nature, and to
accomplish these purposes by co-opera-
ton with the International Chamber Of
Commerce and Mississippi Valley So
ciety of London, England, or by such
other means us may seem proper and
advisable.
The present board Of direction in this
city is composed Of the following well
known gentlemen: Cyrus Bussey, Will
liam G. Black, Thos A. Adams, s. II.
Kennedy, J. b. Hood, Adam Thomson,

Wiltz, A. J. Gomila, W. II. Lyman, E.
G.. Palmer and Chas 4. Fenner, who
will serve until the lirst election in Feb
ruary, 1877.
This society can certainly need moth
ing further than what is above given to
commend it to the people OF the Missis-
sippi Valley. With the objects it has
in view, with such board Of direction,
and, above all, under the presidency OF
Mr.. Davis, we are assured our people
need no more to commend 1t unto them.

OUR AMATEURS IN PARIS.
A Brilliant Concert Given There 10 n
Talented Young Lady from New
Orleans.

1t was with pride and satisfaction that
we read in yesterdays Bee letter from
Paris, France, signed ga Louisianian, P"
giving an account of the concert offered
in that city by the New Orleans ladies
there to our talented young country
woman, Miss Corinne Bouligny. We
have no space in our columns to. day to
translate the whole letter and we regret
it, we will only state that the writer re-
ports the whole affair to have been most
brilliant and worthy our fair represen-
tatives over the main. First on the list
Of the lady patronizers were Mstresses
Albin Rochereau, J. Beugnot and l..
Perret. The young artist, whom
some Of us have had the fortune
to hear in several concerts
before her departure, obtained quite q
brilliant success in the capital Of the
fine arts, before the chosen crowd as
sembled to listen to her melodious
voice. The Bees correspondent is en-
thusiastic in her praise, and reports her
music teacher delighted and proud Of
her success.
One Of the most pleasant features of
the entertainment was the artistic per
formance on the piano by Mrs. J.
Beugnot, q lady Of high musical attain
menfs, well remembered here by q host
Of friends, to whom she remains en-
deared by the remembrance Of her
amiable and sympathetic disposition.
May Heaven bless the efforts Of our
friends across the ocean, and happiness
crown their lives.

COTTON FACTORY.
A Move In the Right Direction.

That sterling sheet, the Amite City
Democrat Of the 25th inst, brings us a
good news and proof that there is life in
the old land yet Amite Grange No. 8,
Patrons OF Husbandry, invites all mem
bers of the Order to meet in Amite City
on Wednesday, the 5th Of April, 1876, at
10 o'clock q. m, the object Of the meet
ing being to raise funds by subscription
to start cotton factory, using the
Clements attachment with Whitfeld's
Improvement method which is claim
cd to have realized in Georgia vast
economy and profits of from SO to 300
per cent on the investment. The DEM
Ocrat says:
As far as we are able to observe, the
move is made by Messrs. w. II. Web
Der, s. s. Conner, John w. Addison and
y. X. Manard, formerly editor of the
New Orleans Son Of the Soil, and hearth
ly seconded by other influential and
moneyed men of this community. The
first three are too well known by the
people here to need commentator at
our hand the latter, Mr.. Manard, is Of
that strictly reliable class which gives
him an honorary brotherhood among
the grangers.
This factory will be of incaculable
benefit to Amite City and the whole
parish, and it is hoped our people will
not only countenance the proposition,
but give it material encouragement.
Cotton factories, where properly man
aged, have always proved profitable,
and why not this ? 1t will enlarge and
improve our town, increase its trade,
and benefit it in a great number OF ways,

american Central Sugar Factories
is the title Of remarkable pamphlet
kindly presented us by its author. Mr..
A. Montejo, Esq. The subject is one OF
vast importance to Louisiana and is
ably treated. We intend at some future
date to review at some length Mr..
Monteio' 'swork and will therefore merely
clip for to-day the following paragraph,
which is a key to the whole: 'It is be-
yond a doubt that the United States
could produce all the sugar needed for
their consumption. Several European
States that imported colonial sugar for
their use now not only supply their re-
ouirements but export and compete on
the great English market. The produc-
tive power of nations increases itself
more by the labor and the intelligence
Of its people than by the gifts Of nature
and on this ground the verdict pro
nounced in favor of ':Beetroot vs.. Sugar
cane" is a matter Of record.

New YORK. March 25.-In the suit OF
the Union Consolidated Mining Com
pany of Tennessee against Raht and
others, for 81, ,255, 900 claimed to have
been fraudulently converted, a decision
has been rendered by Judge Lawrence
dissolving the Injunction temporarily
granted on an affidavit against the de-
endants. The defendants, Charles Raht
and John Thomas, deny, under oath,
absolutely every allegation made against
them. The other defendant, j. E. Raht,
Who resides in Tennessee, did not put in
an appearance in this suit, never having
oeen served with process. The latter,
Y seems, first sued the company last
september, in Tennessee, for money
