| We are satisfied the Directory
of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad have no disposition to interfere
with, or throw obstacles in the way o, the Southern trade of the city. |
| Their notice of yesterday
morning was made necessary by the accumulation of freights in their
depot here, which is caused by the interference with river
transportation at Cairo and elsewhere changing the course of shipments
for the South and Southwest. The aggregate shipments from Louisville
have not been greater than usual, but nearly all of the provisions and
other goods that in ordinary times go by river, now find a safer, though
more expensive, transportation by railroad. This explanation, we hope,
will satisfy all parties here and elsewhere. |
