The Rail Road
   Though the running arrangements of our Road {Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR} have not yet gone into operation, the Road is already doing a satisfactory business from Memphis up. The number of passengers is increasing daily. At present, and until next Monday, the 15th inst., there is a delay at the Tennessee River, growing out of the fact that there is but one daily train from this place per day, with which the train from Memphis does not make close connection. Passengers, however, prefer it to any other route, notwithstanding this objection, as it has the advantage in distance over any other route. On Monday, the 15th, the new schedule goes into operation, when there will be two daily trains each way from Memphis to Louisville.
