The question Of the possibility of
purchasing traction engine to carry
freight to and from some of the land
ings on the Chattahoochee river,
most accessible to this point is being
discussed by our citizens. These en-
gines for the transportation of freight
on ordinary roads have been thor
oughly tested and proved to be sue
cess. 1t is claimed that they can
draw on wagons attached to the To-
connective fifty bales of cotton, and
their speed is from four to FIVE miles
per hour. We would suggest to our
merchants and large planters in con-
nection with the above subject, the
proposition to purchase the land at
Port Jackson, which is offered for
sale, and which is doubtless hemost
accessible, the nearest and always
above high water mark. The idea of
the purchase of both the locomotive
and landing strikes US as a move in
the right direction and will insure
greatly to the interest OF the town
