Freights
   We are gratified in being able to state that the accumulation of freights for shipment by the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad has all been sent off, and that the road is now up with the demands upon it in this respect. The delay was caused by the damage to the Western & Atlantic Railroad during the freshets in February, and the heavy stream of freights that has since poured in has taxed the road to its utmost capacity. The road is now up with the work and freights will experience no delay nor be subject to extra charges for storage and drayage. Mr. Cole, the energetic Superintendent, and his assistants have been untiring in their efforts to clear their depots, and they have now succeeded, and will be able to keep them clear for the future.
