A BILL is in the hands Of Col. Stew
art, Of Kinds, and will be introduced at
an early day, which strongly commends
itself TO the attention Of all interested
in the material prosperity OF this State.
II is to charter a railroad company from
Jackson via Yazoo City to point on
the Mississippi river opposite Arkansas
City. This is destined to be a great
trunk-line from New Orleans to st.
Louis as it connects ut Arkansas City
with direct Zine to st. Louis, and as
such has been very strongly endorsed
by the New Orleans press. 1t will de-
velop large State interest by bringing
into the market the production of many
thousand acres of the rich swamp land
now almost useless, and thus adding
largely to the taxable values of the
State. As great competing line for
freight it will cheaper all supplies and
augment all the values of the products
of a large and important section. We
beg leave to call the attention of the
Legislature to the bill and express 9
hope that they will pass the charter at
once giving to the corporation all such
privileges as are enjoyed by other such
corporations in the State which may be
consistent with its best interests.
