   We are informed by travelers that the railroad fare from Shreveport to Vicksburg is as follows {Vicksburg, Shreveport & Texas RR}:
To Monroe, one hundred and ten miles, eighteen dollars; Monroe to Tallula, by rail fifty five miles, eight dollars; Tallula to Vicksburg, twenty-five miles by stage, seven to nine dollars. The roads are said to be very good. Most of the travel is soldiers on furlough. The prices look rather steep.
