From the New Orleans True Delta

Shameless Conduct
   For the past five weeks there has been at Bristol, the terminus of the Lynchburg and Bristol Railroad {Virginia & Tennessee RR}, large quantities of flour, contained in two warehouses and seventy-five cars, belonging to parties in New Orleans, awaiting transportation. The Tennessee Road, from Knoxville to Bristol {East Tennessee & Virginia RR}, refuses to receive it in consequence of some difficulty between the two companies. A little more delay might ruin the entire lot. The government at Richmond should see to this immediately, and take the matter into its own hands, if the roads in question cannot settle their private difficulties.
