Arguing from these premises. we rather hk,
the hatred towards New Orleans borne by tn,
Memphis EAGLE. because. we believe. while II,

friendship would be inextineuisbable,
Not LONG since that ;ournal nredieted tina,

snlendid operation would be accomplished, by

abundantly Il our now crowded thoroughfares.
| Now. we wish Charleston and Savannah great
and uninterrupted prosperity. We would like

power: but we cannot wish them the ill,luck to
remain what they are until "grass grows in
the streets Of New Orleans" That would be
altogether too uncharitable.
Our Memphis cotemporary, in his earnest
and friendly speculations, overlooked one rather
important matter. as we. not beinp a nronhet

that we did behave deoeutly.
But, to what we considered the omissions in
The calculations of the Memphis Eagle. That
sheet concluded that the railroads running in
the direction Of Charleston and Savannah
would carry of q large portion Of our trade
If that conclusion had any basis Of fact to sus.

TO mention, however, anything about the New
Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad
which will cross and tap each one of these roads
