ROAD-LOUISIANA POLITICS, ETC.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept, 30, 1879.
Editor Democrat-Star
In 1856 U believe it was) con
gress granted to the Mississippi
and Ship Island railroad alternate
sections of government lands upor
the conditions that the road would
be completed within a given time
The civil war caused suspension
upon the work, and consequently
the subsidy was nul. If your sen
atOrs and representatives in con.
gress would bring the matter before
congress, setting forth that the sur
veys were made, and a commence
ment to carry out in good faith the
requirements of congress, there
would be no doubt but the govern
ment would renew it's aids ard rs
sistance for so great an enterprise.
The State of Mississippi has a
sea front of nearly one hundred
miles, and Ship Island harbor is
second to none on the Gulf of
Mexico-ships that pass through
the Jetties at the mouth of the
Mississippi river can cross the bar
at Ship Island and find safe harbOr.
The distance from the mainland
the terminus of the road-tO the
mooring of the ships, is only nine
and one.half nautical miles-ves-
sells drawing ten feet water can
approach within four miles. Your
people mast build that road, and
your State would have one of the
finest maratime ports south of Nor
folk, Virginia. Her exports of cot
ton, naval stores, spar timber, square
timber, lumber and slaves, would
be immense. The section in which
the road would traverse for miles
on each side would enhance the
value of land 500 per cent. per acre.
Tell your members of the legisla-
ture, which will soon convene, to
instruct, by resolution, their sena-
tors and request their representa-
tives in congress, to press the mat
ter next winter at Washington.

BURIED TREASURE.
DELUDED DARkEYS SEARCHING
FOR THE HIDDEN WEALTH OF
THE COPELANDS.
Mobile Register.

Mobile Register.
From one of a party of gentlemen
who went huntingin the southwes.
tern part Uf the county last week
We have obtained the following
curious story of searchers for the
supposed be buried wealth of the
old Copeland gang. 1t seems that
the negroes residing along the
banks of Dog river, and in the
swamps OH either side of that stream
have had for years traditions OF
immense sums Of money hidden
somewhere in the low marslly
ground and the forest near Dog
river, aud many a them have made
attempts to fina some of this mon
ey, We need not say without sue
cess. Our informant, while hunt
ing in the locality mentioned, last
week, came suddenly upon an aged
and decrcpid darkey, whose myster-
iOus movements and queer dOings
excited his wonder, and remaining
concealed, he watched the negro's
actions. The old man had in his
hand stick about five feet long,
which he was holding extended
horizontally before him, following
the end around in a slow aud eau
tiOus manner. AT intervals of a
few minutes he would pause, stOOp
down, and examine the ground at
tentively, as if looking for some
thing, and then rise up and repeat
his movements with the stick. AT
ter watching him for about twenty
minutes, the gentlemen stepped
from his concealment and called to
the old darkey, asking him what
he was looking fOr. The old man
was SO astonished at finding he
had been watched, that for some
moments he was dumb, and then
tried to hide his stick from view.
BY dint of persuasion and drink
from pocket flash, the old darkey
was finally induced to talk, and
told our friend that he was hunting
for the gold buried by the Cope
lands. The stick he carried prov
ed to be his "divining rod," and
consisted of a rod of black walnut
on the end of which was poised "A
magnetic needle which of course
always pointed to the north. The
old man, being ignorant of the
polar attraction, religiously belev-
ed that the movement of the needle
was caused by the attraction of
gold, and had been following it's
pointers tor years, always hoping
that he would finally strike u bo-
nanza of hidden wealth. He had |
dug up the earth in all possible |
and impossible locations, but had |
lot'yet found anything more valu-
able than earth worms. Nor could
le be convinced that his search
vas an idle one, and all explanation
II regard to the magnetic attraction
If the needle fell on a deaf ear. He
old our informant that there were
scores of negroes in those regions
who believe there was money Sc
,reted somewhere about Dog river,
md that he would continue his
earch till he found something.
'erhaps if all these deluded freed
nen would spend their time in cul-
waiting "patch" of ground, they
would find themselves richer at the
nd of the year than they will ever
'ecOme by finding the mythical

"Not here but in your Office, pri.

His manner was excited, his hand
trembled, and his eye had an insane

in silence until we reached my Office
in Montgomery street, when he hur-
riedly locked the door on the inside
saying as he did so;
"This conversation is to be pri-
vate, and do not intend to be in
terrupted."
AS he turned toward me 1 saw
that he had a pistol in his hand,
which he laid on desk, and then
sat down. 1 waited for him to
speak, eying him and the pistol
closely, and feeling a little uncom-

size and strength.
"Have you ever been haunted

abruptly, his eyes glaring upon me
as he spoke.
"No, not particularly" l answer
ed "but why do you ask "
"Because the idea is haunting

"when a man has no hope left he

broke in:
