THE RAILROADS.
The Building Of Narrow-Gauges in Mis-
sissippi-0pening Up the Conn
try-The New
Short Line from st. Louis to Memphis,
WelI-Deserved Compliment
Spikes and Sparks.

Travellers down the Valley road are at
once struck by the network OF narrow
guage roads which cross and spread out
from il in every direction. Such "short
lines" are sadly needed at many points
along the river, and did the country but
possess a few more live, wide-awake, go
ahead citizens, such as Mai Gillaspie, its
advancement would undoubtedly be en-
HANGED and its wealth trebled. Mai. ]. n.
Giilaspie, one of the largest ton-planters
of Tensss parish, La, intends constructing
a narrow-gHage road from his extensive
plantations, near Newelton, La, TO point
on the Mississippi river near the upper
Bondurant light, short distance below
Hard Times. Maj. Gillaspie makes about
5000 bales of cotton on his places, and it is
his intention to haul this over the new
road to the river, and returning move his
supplies to his plantations. The road will
run through the richest planting region Of
fertile land in Tensas, and will, no doubt,
prove an enterprise of the most profitable
character. Maj. Gillaspie is a man of
ample means to push his venture 10 sue
cessful issue, which will not only greatly
enhance his own interests but will prove
| a convenience Of no small magnitude to
the owners of the plantations which will
| be travelsed by the new road. 1t is under
| stood by our informant that grading is
soon to commence on the road-bed, which
has been surveyed, and that material for
the construction Of the road will be or
dered at once, and the whole work pushed
forward to completion as rapidly as men
and money can do it.

to say that Mr.. Robert Gates, of this city,

off the track,
