Mr.. VIM. SEARCY, proprietor OF
Searcy's Ferry, has five hundred
loads of gravel on the bank of the
river, which he intends putting on
the road between his ferry and the
city this summer. That is a move
in the right direction, and if the
owners of the ferries will take the
initiatory steps towards making
good roads, we believe the county
court will make liberal appropria-
lions to assist them. Let them do
it at once.

N. o. AND PACIFIC RAILWAY-MEssRs
JAY GOULD AND TOM SCOTT
TO BUILD 1T.

Our readers will be pleased to learn
that there is now every assurance that
the New Orleans and Pacific Railroad
will be at once completed to Alexand-
ria and Shreveport. This road is of
vital importance to our city. 1t ira
verses one of the most fertile sections
of Louisiana, which is in sad need of
rail communication with the metropo-
lis. By its connection with the Texas
Pacific at Marshall it taps Northern
Texas, aud forms an outlet to the Gulf
for the trade of Kansas and Colorado.
1t has long been an open secret here
that Mr.. Jay Gould desired to secure
this important route as portion Of his
vast railway combination, which COW
ers nearly the entire Northwest and
stretches down to the Red River. To
embrace line possessing such extra
ordinary advantages in the way of To-
cal traffic, and capable Of forming such
valuable auxiliary to the Texas Pa
cific and the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroads, was in accordance
with the broad principles upon which
this railroad magnate has hitherto
operated.
President Wheelock has struggled
CALAMITY against great difficulties, and
much work has already been DONE
About one hundred miles of the road
bed are already graded. The work
can be completed at moderate cost
within a comparatively short time.
Unable to obtain the necessary capital
here, Mr.. WheelOck had to 60 abroad,
and after lengthy negotiation, the
main points of which were settled some
time since, the agreement entered into
by the President of the company was
formally ratified at q meeting of the
Board of Directors held in this city on
Saturday night, and the documents
duly drawn yesterday. The terms of
the arrangement we are unable to state
positively, but, as we learn on good
authority, are ab0ut as follows: The
road and franchises are transferred in
toto to Messrs. Jay Gould and Tom.
Scott, their proposition in writing hav
ing been accepted. The purchasers
bind themselves to complete the road
in eighteen months. The present cre-
ditors have already agreed to accept
Soc. on the dollar for their claims in
first mortgage bonds of the new COM
pany, which is to be organized by the
purchasers. These debts are small,
aggregatiug only $3.50, 900 to S4OO, 600.
The road is to be transferred free of all
membranes or contracts for grading,
work, etc. The route to be followed
is to cross the Mississippi River at Ba-
ton Rouge, whence it will probably be
constructed down the east bank to the
city. The Chicago, st. Louis and New
Orleans Railroad people know nothing
of any arrangements to come in over
their track, but on the contrary con-
slider it certain that the new company
will own its own line into the munich
| pal limits.-[New Orleans Picayune.

THE OPERA.

After having given "PinafOre'' the first three
evenings of last week in manner but slightly, if
any, superior to its first presentation in this city,
the Melville opera company, on Thursday night,
produced the "Chimes of NOrmandy"-Or such
portions of it as the great company could sing.
The cOmplacency with which the opera
pruned to accommodate the poor substitute for
baritone is but another exhibition of the sublime
effronteTy which, the suppOsitiOn that sit is
good enough for Portland" led the management
TO advertise complete opera bouffe troupe Of
forty artists, while knowing ii would be necessary
TO eliminate from Planquette's beautiful work the
aria, 81 Am a Wanderer of the Sea-" because
there is no man i'm the company who can sing 1t.
Mr.. Casselli is clever COMEDIAN and he was un-
fortunate in being east for the Marquis, part al
together foreign to his abilities. Miss Melville
was far superior to her singing. Miss Plaisted, to
whom fell some of the most beautiful music of the
opera IN the character of Germain, though gener-
ally "A sweet and pretty singer proved Inadequate
To the requirements of the part, several of her
finest solos lacking power and expression. Mr..
Hatch, the feeble tenor, showed slight improve
ment over his effort in the "l;Oyal Mildly while
Mr.. Freeman, rs Gaspard, miser, proved himself
character actor of great ability, and was princi-
pally instrumental in making the piece partial
success. The choruses were fairly rendered. and,
Oh the whole, the performance was as satisfactory
rs could be expected from this powerful cOmbina-
ton.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings Of this week
"BoccacciO'' was given but we were unable TO be
present, and cannot speak of its merits. Last
evening madam Favart' was produced, and will
