NP, SN 10/18/1861

From the Shreveport {La.} Daily News
 
October 18, 1861
 
   We clip the following from the N. O. Picayune:
   Notwithstanding the war time and scarcity of money, says the Natchez Courier, we are told by our Texas contemporaries that the work on the railroads is still steadily progressing. Latest intelligence from Indianola represents the railroad from that place to intersect the San Antonia & Mexican Gulf Railroad was steadily and quietly going on. The Courier of that place says the superintendent Mr. Dudley, is deserving of great credit, not only for his constant endeavor but for the excellent manner in which the work has been done.
   If the people of Caddo were as persevering as the Texans, about such matters it would be better for them.
