The New Orledns Picdyune, which
takes great interest in everything
connected with the prosperity Of
our State, has the following to say
npon the subject OF railroads within
our borders:
IL is to be hoped that congress
will grant the request of the Mis-.
sissippi Legislature, and waive the
reversiol Of the lands donated 10
the State by the act of 1856, tor the
purpose of building II railroad ilom
the Seashore to the interior. Not.
withstanling the fact that Mssis-
sippi's requirements IN the way of
seaports are sufficiently satisfied
tor all practical purposes by Mobile
aud New Orleans, still it is a matter
OF State pride to build up Il port
dis inctiveIy MissiSsippiap, aud we
can understand aud sympathize
with such desire. Besides, the
greater the business of the coast The
greater becomes New Orleans. The
building OF tile Gnlfand Ship Island
road will not luIure New Orleans,
while it will furnish railroad com.
munication with New Orleans 70 a
considerable portion OF the State,
and will supply competition in
transportation, as well as facility. !,
% But, after all, the more important
roads projected 10 Mississippi are
those " hich, like the Northeastern,
run frpm northeast to southwest.
The Natchez, Jackson aud Colum.
bns, and the Illinois Centraps pro.
posed branch to Aberdeen, will be
OF great service to the State, III
bringing out her products aud for.
warding them to tide-water. Ulli-
lmately the great channels of traffic
in the South will all be constructed
OH northeast aud southwest lines.
The Louisville and Nashville will
hare to make a cut off on this
theory, or it cannot permanently
compete for through business.
