| An Idea |
| Do our planters want cheap beef? If they do we would
advise them to plant a full crop of corn, peas, beans and potatoes, and
send half of their force to work on the New Orleans & Texas Rail Road,
so as to complete it to the Sabine by November or December next. Discard
all idea of raising any sugar this year; merely plant enough cane for
seed to plant a full crop in January next. Your stock in this great
railroad will be worth more to you than all the sugar you can make this
year, besides having your negroes fed and clothed during the time. We
look upon this road enterprise as the greatest scheme for making money
that now exists in the Confederacy. |
