this bill of fare would like to addthat such
are the connections and obligations already ex-
listing between the S. Side Railroad and the Lynch

months, the Abingdon or Tennessee line, upon
the above named steamers, in New York, and
they will reach their homes in the quickest time
with no transhipment save at City Point, and
no charge for commission, forwarding &c.
