It* Rapid Growth and Progress as a
Groat Centre In (ho Railroad System
of Alabama - What It Is Now and
What It la Kxpected is be la tho Fu
ture.
BiBMixmAM, Ala., January 21,1873.
Mr. 8. A. Echols, Associate Editor At
lanta Sun: Before leaving Georgia I was
requested by many friends to write them,
giving my views of this place, ah hood as
I had seen enough of it to form an opin
ion; and as I desire to comply with this
request, I propose to do so, with your
permission, through the oolumus of The
Sun, hoping that what I may write roaj
not be unacceptable to you and your
readers It is very well understood, (I
presume,) by all who have .urertsted
themselves in the subject, that Birming
ham, Ala., is in the midst of the most ex
tensive mineral region that in known in
the world, and not only extensive, but
wonderfully productive aud euaj of ac-
oess, wherever proper U*U have been
mode. •
This fact aloae, seems to have satisfied
all that there ia a foundation for a great
mannfaetuhug city ia the future, but
many seem to be at a loss to account for
the rapid growth of the city sad what it
is that sustains it at the present time,
when mauufacturiag ia but in its in
fancy. This may not be easily aoooumed
for, satisfactorily to ail, for I suppose
many are ready to conclude that the peo
ple here are living off ol each other, and
that they will sooner or laUr exhaust
themselves aid the “shell will break. **
How much truth or policy there may
be in this view, I will no! undertake to
iaj. I have heard tho samo a thousand
times about Atlanta, and being accus
tomed to it, it does not affect me mush.
It may be, and donbtless is so, to a great
extent, tbit the railroad enterprises of
this section sre already adding largely iu
this matter, by stimulating the produc
tions of the orurtry and waking up a
population who hove hithorto slumbered
over resources that were perhaps not un
derstood, at least not easily made availa
ble, for wank of transportation and mar
kets, for, 1st it bo remembered, that
Birmingham is already a considerable
railroad center; and whan the roads
which are now being built and others
projected, and all the talk in a healthy
condition, when these shall have been
completed, there will be nothing like it
in oh these Bouthern States. As to the
country around—while it is true that cot
ton is not raised to any ooosidsrsbl* ex
tent—yet it is a muoh better Taming
country than is generally supposed. The
people hors have not yet learned how to
make ootton at 17 cents, which cost them
25 cents to make it
From a little tnp in the country acr<
one of the ridges, which forma this
(Jours' valley) 1 am prepared to believe
the aeeouuts given, that there are many
fertile little valleys and productive hill-
•idfifl interspersed, which ia auaoepUble
of a high state of cultivation, producing
clover nnd the grasses, as well as fruits,
finely.
While alluding to this subject I will
remind my friends that this plaoeie
about a half degree south of Atlanta;
almost duo west from Newnan, Georgia,
and in the valley where tho city is loca
ted, the altitude is not so great as that
of Atlanta by three or four hundred feet,
yet the air boiDg tempered on the sur
rounding mountains which are about
three or four hundred feet higher than
the valley, we have as cool breezes as
you have, perhaps more so, if 1 may
judge from a recent spell wo have jn6t
passed jthrougli. I see no reason why
cotton may not grow as well here as
around Atlanta, especially as a great deal
of the land is far better.
But I am digressing. I set out to
sptak of the location of Birmingham
and its ncoessabilifcy to other favored
sections. The immediate location of the
city is all that can bo desired; in a beau
tiful valley, about two miles wide with
gentle sloping ridges rising several hun
dred feet on the east and west, the valley
about 4.0 miles in length, with just
enough departure from a plain to make
the drainage and sewerage easy, with not
a street requiring any grading, inter
spersed with pine, limestone,
springs and clear shallow run
ning branches, with splendid
scenery all around, without seeming to
be hemmed in. It is certainly as pretty
a situation for a city os I ever saw. As
pretty for a city as Gave Spring, Floyd
county, Ga., is for a village.
Sixty miles to the North reaches Ten
nessee Valley—an exceedingly rioh ex
tensive farming oouutry, producing cot-
ton fiaely, as well as grain and blue
grass. The whole of this valley is open
to us by means of tho North A South
Alabama Railroad, connecting with the
Memphis & Ouarlestou Railroad at Deca
tur, eighty-three miles by rail from this
place.
A railroad i** in contemplation (a survey
already hiving been made,) from Pitts-
bnrg Lauding on tho Tmbmm River to
this place, will, whoa built, put this place
in easy communication with avast extent
of very rUh land. Besides, ihe other
railread projects already alluded <b, all
of which are seeking Birmingham, cs
much as Birmingham is courting them.
If I would allow myself to speak of the
Georgia Western in this connection, it
would be to say, that, if Atlanta, on any
account, suffers this project to fail, or
even be prolonged for any considerable
length of time, it would be exceedingly
funny, aud far more stupid, than her en
terprise has heretofore shown. Atlanta
needs Birmingham more tnan Birming
ham does Atlanta, although, for a time,
at least, Atlanta would bs the best job
bing wholesale market whioh Birming
ham can reach, if we had direct railroad
communication with her.
Atlanta must manufacture largely if
she would continue, to prosper and grow,
and cheap coal afid iron in abundance,
will be a great help in this. Can Atlanta
afford to fold her arms and see the Savan
nah and Memphis, and the Savannah,
Griffin A North Alabama roads flank her,
most assuredly they will, diverting an
immense amount of trade from her to
Columbus, Ga., and Soutbeaat Alabama,
and South west Ga., and to Griffin, Macon,
Savannah and Middle Georgia. If
so, it is useless to multiply words.
But I am led off from the course intend
ed in this communication.
Birmingham is filling up rapidly. She
has over 3,000 inhabitants, and many
more, at least 1,000, it is believed would
be here now if houses could have been
obtained this winter.
There i» largely over one hundred
stores and business bouses here, and at
least one-third of them are better bouse*
than could be found in Atlanta before the
and many of them would compare
favorably with the best to be found Jieru
at the present lime.
There are five churches with good con
gregations, served *>y highly respectable
ministers. The industrial enterprise*
s-em to be well established and progress
ing. The general tone of society is good
The government of the city is unsurpass
ed. Col. J. R. Powell, the “Duke of
Birmingham,” is the Mayor. He is a
mar of fine business capacity, highly
praotical, in fullsvmpatby with labor and
capital, as well qualified to harmonize
the two as auy mau can be. Iu Inn case
the office sought the man, emphatically.
The issue was made between stupidity
aud immorality, aud intelligence aud vir
tue, and the result was asignal victory for
tho latter.
I will seed you with this nu address of
OqL Powell circulated a day or two be-
for the ehotiou, which is a npeoinn-n of
high-toned independence, and a little slip
wilh il shows the result, which I regard
as not only flattering, but as a tribute to
true worth and manly independence, A
publication of thin address with a knowl
edge of tho result, will Hatisly my friends
that the government of the city •» pro
perty based.
Now, perhaps, my friends may be
reauy to conclude that I am going to ad
vise them all tocome to Birmingham, but
I am going to do do such tuiog. Ail I
have to say is, that if any of you tire not
satiafl**] where you are, and want to move
to a new and promising plaoe, if you can
afford it, visit Uirmingliatp and s*e how
you like it. Yon are to judge for your
self. You will find some roughness here,
asio all towns growing ns rapid.y as this.
Living is about as cheap., here as in
Atlanta, rents being higher and furl
cheaper. While many would be bt nefit-
cd b% coming here, others, uo doubt,
would be dissatisfied, but in my opuiioD
Birmingham is bound to become a great
city. L. P. Thomas.
The Jljilery «r * Siuull Hot.
Yesterday afiernoon a negro man,
while walking along the bayou bed near
the corner of Orleans and Georgia streets,
noticed a small box protruding from the
bayou bank near the roots of a sycamore
tree. Going to the box, ho polled it
out, when the top fell off and au intolera
ble stench aro*© from it. A glance
showed him that the box contained the
body of an infant, bed y decomposed,
its fare was covered with mud, end until
the arrival of the Coroner it was not
known whether tho naby was white or
black. The Coroner’s jury developed the
fact that the body was that of a mole
fetus of six months growth, and of wi <to
parentage. No clue could he found that
would lead to the detection of the guilty
parties. The body w* a turned over to
connty undertaker Walsn.—Avalanch\

Citt Hoisl, New Obuuhs, La.. Jan. 20,18T3.
Editors Sun : Although wo are in a
condition of comparative anarshy, not
withstanding we have two Governors and
two Legislatures running the State Gov
ernment, yet our people do not seem to
bo very unhappy. Especially iu all the
pleasures incident to this Latinized sec
tion, wo exhibit a remarkable disregard
aud contempt for the political distresses
of which moneyed men and property
holders complain. As tho masses do not
belong to either of these classes, they do
exhibit tho utmost indifference to the re
sults, and hence apply their attention to
amusements and pleasure. And surely
they are wise in this respect.
Tho principal matter agitating us now,
is concerning the approaching Mardi
Gras festivities. Extensive preparations
are being m ide to have these tho best
and most attractive that were aver repre
sented here ; and alrendy tho notes and
sound of preparations are heard aud seen
in every quarter of the city to effect this
purpose. Hence, they will prove won
derfully interesting to the vast number
of people who announco their intention
of coming and taking part as spectators
aud otherwise.
The immense emigration which comes
from yoar sect ion surprise* us, and causes
us to wonder why your people do not
employ some effective means to check it,
for we are certain that there aro better
inducements to keep laborers in Georgia
than those offered in the pioneer sections
ol the far West. As the tide, however,
continues to come and increase, they
will find the following views serviceable
to them. They will suvo money and
time by coming over the New Orleans,
Mobile & Ttxus Railroad, to this city aud
take steamers from here to Texas. Col.
Norman O. Jones, comprehending the
situation, nnd with his usual nenmeu aud
intelligence, has arranged matters so that
passengers arc lauded at the Texas and
Red liver wharves, whereby they cave
omiuious transfer and expense, n they
wish to proceed without aetention. His
measures for reduced rates, connections,
Ac., make the cost of travel by this road
aud by steamer to Shreveport, Jsffeison,
Tyler, and other points m eas ern and
northern Texas, cost not more than
third ol the expense by any othei route.
The price of cabin passage on fi r st-clab8
steamers and quick transportation by
Red river to Shreveport averages from
fifteen to twenty aoilarn, deck fare five.
Within a year the road from horo to
Texas will be finished, and then the fare
and time of transit will bo greatly re
duced. Colonel Latham, tbs Vice Pres
ident of the road is pusi.ingits interests
with wonderful energy, and as he dors
not check at any obstacle, his enterprise
is telling with great effect on every in
terest connected with tho line. Aided
by that intelligent gentleman, shrewd
aud active railroad man, Col. Nurmaa C.
Jones, every interest of the line is pro
gressing with the greatest possible rapid
ity, and under the taJismanio influence
of their fine business narno and tact, it
will soon bo accomplished.
As the majority of people who pass
throngh this city stop for awhile to see
aud enjoy the novelty of our floe nnd
beautifal city, it will inteicsc them iu
knowing that tno following extract frem
the Montgomery Advertiser tells them
where they will find the best place, at
which they eau stop aud why:
The St. James Hotel is located oppo
site the Texas Steamship Offices. This
house is open for lodgers only, and guests
board at the City Hotel or where
they please. Persons who prefer to se
cure rooms in a good, convenient part of
the city, at a reasonable price by tne day,
week, or month, will find this famouB
old reuort the best of the kind in New
Orleans.
Travel to and through the city contin-
uch to increase daily, and as usual the
bulk stops at the City Hotel. This fa
mous old house is completely renewed in
every respect that makes it tne orightest.
most cheerful and comfortable resort of
the kind in New Orleaus. The rooms
for ladies and family uses, as transient
guests, arc more attractive and beauti'ul
than any found in the city. When Col.
Morse, the generous and famous proprie
tor of tiiis ooaey and popular old house,
reiurned from Europe, he found tb»t the
other first-class hotels had raised the
prices to four and half dollars a day, but
ho refused to enter into the arrangement,
and having been the first to reduce the
price of li v Bt class accommodations and
nett fere here, he will continue to charge
only three dollars a day. Tne house is
kept in every respect as finely as any in
the South, ami is more iuvitmg to ladies
especially, because of its access, conveni
ence and comfort to travelers than ever.
