AGREEING FROM LoUIsvILLE.-The Louisvill Q
Journal of the 18th instant, speaking of the open
ing OF the Railroad, says: ~ s. s.-....
letter to commercial house in this city, from
its correspondent in Baltimore, states that it is in
contemplation to charter two first class steamers to
bring the excursiOniSts from Wheeling to this city.
We speak the sentiments of our citizens, nrGsse,
when saying that their visit would be hailed with
pleasure, and that they will be received with true
Kentucky hospitality.
The completion Of the Baltimore road and the
establishment of the Union line will equally ben
eft our own city, and from it may be dated new
era in the commerce of Louisville. r. o..
Under these circumstances we would suggest
some movement on the part Of the citizens TO make
preparations to give our Baltimore guests proper
reception. The merchants ought TO take the lead
in the matter. And as it is a matter of vital in
tereSt to the whole CITY, we should suppose that
it proper subject for the action of our nunic
ipal government, and might be brought to the at
tendon Of the general councilby our worthy May
