When Bro. Felter finds leisure he
will agitate the railroad from Able
Vile to Rayne.-Acadia Sentinel.
At present the people of Abbeville
are interested in the building Of the
road from St. Paul. Mimi, to Alex
andria, which is to be continued on
TO Jennings, Lake Arthur, and then
to Vermilion bay, via this place.
Should We fail in this, we will then
turn our attention in the direction
Of Rayne. A road from Alexandria
to Rayne, and extending to the gull,
and then another from Rayne to San
Augustine, Texas, to connect with
the Southern Pacific at that place,
would make Rayne a great railroad
center; and the latter named would
save the long circuitous route Of
several hundred miles by going from
New Orleans to Houston to reach
East Texas.

Coming Al Last

Last week we had the pleasure OF
seeing 10 town Mr.. Kasson Free
man. engineer Of the Alexandria,
jennings, Lake Arthur and Gulf
Railroad, who has completed the
survey Of the line as FAR as Able
willie. Mr.. Freeman informs us that
considering the Importance and cen
tral location Of this point, it has
been decided that the continuation
Of the road from Lake Arthur to
the Gulf will pass through Able
vile. from here going along Yer
million bayou to the bay. Not onl y
is le we'll satisfied with the nature
of the country from Alexandria to
Lake Arthur, but he states never to
have seen an easier country to grade
than that between Lake Arthur and
Abbeville.
A railroad to give US easy and
direct communication has long been
a cherished hope with our enter
p:ising citizens. As the immigra.
ton movement increases, we foresee
in the near future the completion of
. line to Abbevilie. This projected
road, backed by Northern aud home
energy, will give US direct commu.
nication with the North. 1t will
undoubtedly develop this compare
lively unknown but beautiful land.
A description Of the country from
Lake Arthur to Abbeyille along the
projected line may not prove unin-
teresting. Shell Beach, situated on
Lake Arthur at. the mouth Of the
Mermentau river, is a new town
which promises soon to become both
a winter and summer resort-a win.
ter resortfor Northeruers. while a
delightful summer resort to the
South. Owing to the pure and in.
MIGRATING sea-breeze blowing di.
rectly from the gulf, Lake Arthur is
very healthy. Besides having all
Disadvantages Of other lakes, it is
noted for its beautiful scenery. The
Mermentau river running through
the lake to the gulf, affords boat
communication with the Southern
Pacific railroad, and with the sea-
coast. Tributary to She'll Beach and
to Abbeville is al the country lying
between, bounded on the north By
the narrow but deep Bayou Queue
Tortue, and on the south by the im.
passable sea.marsh, being thirty
miles long by twelve vide. This
land, which borders on the sea-
marsh, besides being very fertile, is
unsurpassed as pasturage ground.
No care is eve given to the CATTLE,
who are in the sea-marsh nearly all
the year round, and who are fat for
market at any time. Of course
grass, water, and timber are in
abundance. At present We send all
our products to New Orleans, by a
circuitous route ; by the projected
road we could ship our cattle to
Kansas City Or Chicago, better and
reader markets than New Orleans,
and we would come in with our
share to swell the 300 900 carloads
Of early fruits and vegetables yearly
sent North.

PSopA0 S"~S
present, is attracting the attention
of persons from every quarter of the
United States, more than any other
section of the Union. There are
many excellent reasons ferthis. The
great wave tide Of immigration
which was predicted for the South
is, in q measure, bing fulfilled.
Thousands Of souls are settling
within the borders of this beautiful,
rich and fertile country, and thou
sands more will continue to flock
10 this delightful section. Notwial-
standing our hot summers, strangers
express their delight in finding the
weather 80 'much more pleasant here
than in the North, for the constant
breeze we have during the summer
is healthy, invigorating and every
way delightful; and in winter we
arc not subject, Is is the case in the
North, to prolonged freezing spells
of cold, chilly rains. Here we have
nothing of that kind.
Louisiana uuquestionably is des.
tined to become, in sill respects, one
of the greatest States on our cont.
nent. Hcr already we'll deserved
fame has extended far and wide, aud
many persons, both native and for
eign, in search of homes, will single
her out as their choice. Homes are
now offered to them within their
means. Many of our extensive land
owners, in some portions Of the
State, are dividing up their large
farms into small ones, and putting
them down to Ggures within the
means Of the poorest who come and
settle among Us, thus enabling them
to make purchases and securing
good and comfortable homes.
Among the agricultural prodacts
ofiLouisiana are gsown cotton, corn,
rice, sugar, tobacco, wheat, rye,
oats, barely, sweet and Irish ,pota-
toes, and vegetables Of every des-
oription. The timber comprises
various kinds, such as gum, white
oak, live-oak, hickory, cypress, ash,
pecan, .pine,. elm, and various other
qualities: The lumber business is
carried on very extensively in Cal
casieu and other frontier parishes,
where there is no end to the pine
forests; and those who have been
but recently engaged in that busi,
uess are now men Of wealth. Cat
tie, hogs, sheep and horses are raised
in most parts of the State, but arc
more numeroes in the prairie por.
ton. The climate is we'll adapted
to fruit Of almost every description
known in the temperate regions.
The vine grows luxuriously all over
this section and only needs iumi-
grants acquainted with vine making
to make it Que of the most impor,
tan. branches Of agriculture in tho
State. We have broad undulating
prairies, aud are magnificent sights,
rolling from you like the waves Of
old ocean, gently landing you in
valleys as rich as Gao be found 10
Fanny country. To derive a correct
conclusion, q must see it, and only
then will he realize the fact.
Louisiana offers greater and gran
der inducements to labor and CAPT.
tai than any other country On the
globe. To every good citizen from
other States, and regardless of his
political Or religious tenets, Louis
lana extends q welcome IS broad as
her vast domain, and as free as the
winds that sweep over it. For
