tte confess that Ea our opinion Mr. Cound gives Ihe

credit for ecterprlse than they deserve. Oar Lnlslatara
have It is true been liberal In the extreme wlih unrpaV

Conrad says for tLe purpose of building no our own
seaports and ia opposition to N"cw Orleans? On tbe
contrary we have offered a larger bounly to the
very road lhat must take the Irade away from our ewn
seaiperts to Xjw Orleani and other ports Lerond that
Sla'e than to the roads that terminate on our own coaet.
Mr. Conrad could not certainly have read the proceedings
or our lost Legislature he a he asked the question
"Is It to be supposed lhat theseyonngand vlgurons eonv
munilles (our eeaports)wllI saffer the teeming treasures
of tl eir own S ato to be poured Into tbe lap of a more foi -tunaie
rival or another Stale if they esn prevent it?"
Now instead of attempting tu protent it we have ac-
lualtydone all we could lo aceomplis'i it Had the Le-
gislature of Louisiana bid Ibe abo'ute control or our

lhs.1 portion of Ibe road which would connect our river
with Ihe permanent navigation of Buffalo Rnyou. Our
necessities are sueh tbatwecarnot wait. We local
most every year enough to construct for onrselves a road
to market.
Our only hope f immediate relief seems lo be In tho

the bead of San Jacinto bay by such a railroadTas the
planters could const-net with their own hands using bar
Iron until we could procure belter acd using hore power

requlrirs no grading affording timber convenient for

In procuring iron without calling on Ibe planters for

Experlei ce has shown on the Harris burg railroad that
the timbers may betneecscfuUylaid on the naked prairie
pscked as it is by tbe rams of centuries aal the tramping
steatite since the first settlement of the country. Cross-
ties brought to uniform thickness al their end ; rai
traigbtened on three side ; dilchea on each side of the
Iraek throwing dirt to the centre to fill the spaces be-
tween the cro-Hes; one or two planks of proper thick-
ness laid intheecntre or tho track and iccurcd lo the
cross ties to tfford firm footing for a single horse; a'l
this Is as simple and eaiy as the construction of our focccF
and plantation buildings and cou'd be done by oar own
hands under the direction of onrselves or oar overseen
sarh eoperlntendants as wo may employ. As the
road could beXmlt almost wilhont cost so It could be
worked with little or no 'exl'sajr--Ce3:as should afford"
"flr" chpunr- Ihin m rth"
expense of feeding tuem and It would be bard to hire R
hRLd of any grade who would not be competent to drive
them. If ihe cost of a first class road Is entirely beyond
our reachyet sueh a road as Ibave described would meet
every present requirement of our business and rapidly
farnieb Ihe means or such faturo Improvements as migbl
benecesary. Though It would be g-atefulto our feel
Ingto build at once ft moro respectable road yet I think
that every p'anter smarting under the experience of the
present season wilt agree with methatwesbou'decapc
front our Immediate difficulties by any means within our
reach.
The depressed condition of our cotton market now and
our gloomy anticipations for the rulare are strong argu
ments to urge us to this exortion. The lenmeciear
profit wo make oa our cotton abote IU expen-ce Ihe more
important it Is t ir n to relieve that small profit from the
heavv tax now Imposed ty delay In reaching market ana
high charges for transportation. And the more nnprofl a-
blo our cotton crop i' the be4fr we can afford lo wtin
draw a portion croor labor r-om Ha cultivation lo make
railroad slock which would be worth more than the cot-
ton and at the same time relieve our crops in folure from
burdens which now make them a loss Instead or a
gain.
I fenrlesalT assert tbat if we can obtain the Iron as we
hope through Ihe kind eo-operation and assistance or
your raerchanls such a road as I bava aescnoeo couiu
be bail! with what we lose almost every year from the
wanloflt. The cotlon market opened this year at from
9 to 10 cents From the want of this road we have wait-
ed until we shall sell probably at from 7 to 8 cents. This
is a loos fat least lea dollars per bale. A Tew years siuce
we lost rrowi twenty to twenty five dollars per bale by
similar delay Count this loss on all the cotton tbat
wonld have passed over this road if built ; count tne in
terest on Ihe money while the cotlon lay on the river
bank and the deterioration of its quality from exposure 10
the weather : count the difference between the expense
nt railroad and steamboat transportation ; tbe heavy rates
f hauling whieh the planters bavo paid durlrg the win-
ter on their upward freight from Galveston aad similar
rates on what they mast sail haul in conscqnenee oi the
suspended navigation ; count the injury to the Galveston
merchants by air months euspensloa of ihetr bosines
(for with this road our cotton would reach Ihcm early In
ihe fall); eount the interest on their capital for this
time and estima'e their embarrassments from delay In
meeltog their engagements and consequent loss of credit;
estimate similar loses rrom the suspension or their busi-
ness by interrupted navigation now; add all thews things
together and I repeat that the amount will equal lho
n.tnf iha road. If X an correct in this.the road would
bebuilt without expense to ua for it would be built wtiA
ewrfoMnr rather It wout 1 be built by the p-ofltuble
investment of the loss ofoao year guarding us aialnst'all
.h In time to come. If however ray estimate
should be thonght loo large we could well afford to in-
vent the loss of two yean instead of one.
K then tbe railrosd shoall pay us nothing and the
money Invented iu itsboaJd yieil no ilhT return we
should be amply remunerate by the ase orthe road
guarding us agaloBl the losses which now ra'l tw heavily
on us every year. But there Is reason to anticipate lhat
the stock would be profitable and pay well. Tho amount
otbusiness which would pass over It would be large In
proportion to Its length and cost. A greater portion or
the business of the river above would reach it on stages
of water insuflcieut for large steamers which navigate
the river from Galveston. And even when these steam-
ers are running their freight and passengers could in
most ease be 'anded at the depot instead of being car-
I Vied on to Galveston by Ibe difllsultandledious naviga-
ion of tho river and bay. Eastern Texas would lorn tne
Whole of its buInes to this rosd as a certain channel of
communication instead of hauling to Red Kiverwnicn
is il.ict is nncertain as theTria ly. It would also com-
roand on thla side of the riverover excellent road tho
builncs of a eon.derable extent of rich country with
.large and rapidly Improving settlements.
Butthere are other considerations wnicainaepe-naeu
ly of the planters and merchants rosy add greatly to the
ralus of the stock. I am told (for 1 have not rayelf seen
it) that the report oflhs United States Coast Survey of
Texas recommends tbe establishment or a nsvat ocpoi
r .-...hhnri- If. as now eeems possible we ehou'dbe In-
Tolved In R naval war or which the Gulf orMex-co would
be th principle theatre sueh a depot wonld be indis-
pensable and its location beyond the reach of an enemy
would be nece-ssry. If it -hould be established at I ynch-
burg the IransportalUn of ship lumber from the ioor-
bauiUbleforssta of tho Trinity over this railroad would
add greally to Its baslneis and revenues and enhance the
value of lu stock.
It la fortunate thst In this a In the Harrlsburg road
the construction or the first section would do mnc'i to
relieve the people nnd immediately command business
enough lo yield a Mr return upon tbe stock. The great
et difficulty In reaching the navigation of San Jacinto
Bay from tbe Trinity Is In tbe lower prairies between
Luke's Bavouand Lynebbarx. Tbe road over tbe up
per or Toekington'a Prairie la almost always good ; and
list If tbe first section were built and a depot established
atLuks'a Bavou tha whole country dependent on tbe
road would haul to that depot. Tbe relief thus given to
tbe people and the amount of business immediately con-
centrated oa tbe road woa'd ensure its rapU comple-
tion I knew Hut there are those who while they acknowl-
edge the truth of all tbat I have written will tarn Rway
and say that nothing can be done. That ts ywr caw-
set be brought fo act togeLhtr. If this aphorism were
true what would be our place among the nations now!

around na. Is fatal to everr project or national advacce
