again shortly, but having been favored with

mending our course aud approving the schedule

deem it proper TO publish the following which

schedule he proposes, and utrms can be ran by

than he, is almost identically that projected by

have been contending. 1t would give through

this what we have always claimed for ia Quick
schedule! We shall adhere to it until a better
is provided.
In this connection, we are permitted also to
make an extract from letter written to the
President Of the Va. and Tenn. road, BY the
President of one of the Southwestern companies
1t confirms all that we have heretofore stated
respecting the loss Of travel that is occasioned
to this ronte by the break of connection. No

in maknga through ticket that would detain
