Major,
   *****
   The sugar contract between Captain Chrisman and Messrs. Loeb and Marx is moving slowly on. The sugar is brought in quite as fast as transportation can be got for it from this point. We have on foot a project for transportation from this place to Crystal Springs over the railroad {the New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern RR}, on the few flat-cars that are left. This will greatly economize transportation, and I trust there will be no objection made by the railroad company. If it is decided to be practicable, and they do object, we will apply through you to General Johnston.
Very truly, yours,
W. H. Johnston
