THE following complimentary
notice to Mr.. ALI W. Bnron, agent
of the New Orleans Pacific Railroad
al this place, is taken from the Tex.
arkana, lark. Democrat:
Mr.. ALT. w. Buron has received and
accepted the appointment of Agent of
the New Orleans Pacific Railroad at
Alexandria, the second largest and
most important agency between New
Orleans and Shreveport. The friends
of Alt, rejoice at his promotion, the re-
suit Of close application and the reward
of efficient and devoted service to the
road. Several years ago he entered the
office here in a capacity requiring no
mental and but trifling physical capac-
lty. By attention and application he
was promoted to position in which he
early demonstrated his splendid adapt
ability for the duties of office work, and
step by step, and rapidly, has he risen
to most lucrative and responsible posi-
ton at an early age and over men
grown gray in the service. We believe
and trust, that the end of his promotion
is not yet. The DEMOCRAT honors
young men the architects of their own
fortunes and fame. ~

NATCHEZ, RED RIVER AND TEXAS
RAILROAD.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT
As an old citizen in this Parish.
and we'll acquainted with the physi.
cal and typographical features Of the
country between Alexandria and
Burr's Ferry on the Sabine River,
would respectfully suggest to the
gentlemen WHO have the survey of
the above named route in charge,
that after the survey leaves the low
land of Red River valley, there is an
elevated ridge between the waters of
Clear Creek and Voluntine Creek
which extends nearly or quite to the
Calcasieu River, below the mouth Of
Bayou Seiper, one of the tributaries
of said River. After crossing the
Calcasieu this route will be through
the highest, driest and best portion
of the River valley, and through
what is known as the Hammock. to
the pine country beyond, and from
this point to Barr's Ferry the route
will be through high, dry and com.
paratiyely level pine country, pre-.
senting no serious obstacle to Rail
road construction. By crossing both
Bayou Seiper and Calcasieu River a
very large amount of bridging aud
trestle work will be required, all of
which can be avoided by crossing
Calcasieu on the route designated,
and just below the junction of Seiper
with the River.
This route will not vary very con-
siderably from direct line from
Alexandria to Burr's Ferry, and will
certainly he large saving 10 the
cost Of construction, which / pre-
sumo is an important consideration
in making Railroads.
Respectfully,
CALcAs1EU.

generally. the report says that with the

made between Indians and other races,
with respect to rights and duties. Con.
siderable space is devoted to the sub.

that the board joins the many friends

urges Congress TO provide the Commits
