STRONG TESTIMONY.

Vice President Clarke, of the Illinois
Central Railroad, who has oeen as.
signed the supervision Of II lie line of
railroad from this city to g afro, is one
of the most experienced, comprehen-
sive and observing of the practical rail
road managers in this country. Mr.,
Clarke Is Maryiander: by birth, and
has been thoroughly trained in that
best Of all railroad SCH 4ools in the United
States, that Of the ae ADMINISTRATION of the
Baltimore and Ohio. Railroad. The re-
suits Of this railr' Jad in building up a
stationary or dec lining city, by opening
an avenue Of new trade with the great
and growing West, have impressed this
gentleman with the experience and ia
miliarity with the influence, power and
proper application of railroad enter
prise that renders him high authority
and instructive teacher OF the needs Of
our city, similarly situated as Baltimore
was when she embarked In her great
railroad undertaking.
Mr.. Clarke with great frankness re-
eognizes the dependence of his own
road for its success and permanent
prosperity in the completion of the New
Orleans Pacific, and the establishment
Of railroad communication between this
city and Texas, North Louisiana and
Central and Western Arkansas. 10 this
enterprise he looks for the property and
profitabeness of the large investment
in the nine hundr ~ and fifteen miles OF
railroad connection of this city with
Chicago. Without this, he does not re-
gard the prospects Of the easternand
northern connections by railroad with
this city as presenting 80 encouraging
and fattering prospect. Nor does he
think that even Eads' great undertake
ing Of deepening the mouth and chan
mel of the river will be Of such great
value to this city il this railroad COM
munication with Texas and Arkansas
should be neglected or postponed.
The completion of this connection is
the key to the future growth and pros
perity Of New Orleans. Every one who
has any interest in this prosperity must
help this enterprise. The man whose
, property is worth twenty thousand dol
lars might give even half OF that
, value to secure this road, for ten thou
, sand dollars of his remaining property
, would then be more valuable. Mr..
, Clark is surprised at the apparent in
| sensibility OF our people to the urgent
| necessity and vast value Of this road.
| His opinion, as the representative
r of tho largo iuyestment and interest
/ in the greatest road from this city
to the North, and as one OF the most
| experienced railroad men in the coun.
| try, is entitled to great weight, and we
: have thought it our duty to give it ex
, preston and our cordial Endorsement
, It ought to 60 far to arouse our people
+ to greater zeal and activity in behalf o.
J the enterprise which at present appeals
: to them for their last and highest effort

there is SO constant a demand for this
