n Seaport in the State of Mississippi
From communication which appeared


in the Mississippian Of Jackson recently,
we perceive that project is on foot to es-
tablish seaport within the limits Of the
State OF Mississippi. The site recommen-


ded by that journal, is at the junction of
East Pearl River and Lake Borgne. The
depth Of water in the harbor we have not

southeast side, and Pearl River on the
northwest, having the benefit Of sea-
breeze sweeping across the isthmus Of
land. The waters on, the Lake shore
abound with a great variety Of sea and
she'll fish, while Pearl River furnishes a
plenty of fresh water fish Of the best quail

game, such as deer, bear, wild turkies, &c.

recommendation Is IFS proximity to New |
Orleans. The distance can be traversed |
in three and half hours by steam. The |
man Of business might visit the city every !
morning in time to attend to his affairs,
and return at night to enjoy the healthi-

breezes. With these manifold advanta-
