   Shall the completion of the railroad from Louisville to Memphis {Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR} be celebrated, and if so, how and where, is a question frequently asked. It strikes us that an event of such importance should not be allowed to pass unnoticed. The appropriate parties to arrange this matter would be the cities of Louisville and Memphis. They are to be the recipients of the great advantages of the road and should therefore take the matter in hand, What say you, Wallace and Lucas of the Journal, Morse of the Democrat, and McKee of the Courier, and gentlemen of the Memphis press. "Should the thing be did?" We understand that the regular running arrangements will not go into effect until the 5th of April. In the mean time an excursion could come off without interfering with the regular business of the roads.
