Mail of the 18th 1t shows how the tide is setting at
the Southwest and why it is so setting. Such is the
general tone of the press in that section with reference
to the two lines through State Travel tempory d.

The WILMINGTON AND WELDON RoUTE.-A cor
respondent of the Mobile Advertiser writing under date
of the 4th instant from Goldsboro, n. c., thus candid
ly speaks of the disadvantages of the upper or Colum
bia route:
"From Montgomery we pursued our journey by what
is known as the upper route to this point taking said
upper route at the very earliest solicitation of drum
mers who gave assurance that should suffer nothing
from detention and be almost entirely free from dust
passing through country Tree from malaria, tresse-
works and swamps and furnished with excellent hotels
eating houses, &c Of the route from Kingsvie via
Columbia, Chester Charlotte Greensborough and Hills
boro have not good word to say. 1t is true we
escaped the tressel work, but if duser route or one
so poorly furnished with good hotels and eating houses
be found your correspondent has only to say that ne
hopes his business or pleasures may never lead him in the
way of finding it..
We have heretofore heard that the Wilmington route
is the shorter by "A miles, and that the line nearly free
from the curves, heavy grades, &c, which make the
Columbia route Objectionable. We are glad to know
that the travelling public beginning to appreciate
these facts and that the Wilmington line reganing the
abuse the public mind, and since his departure Messrs
Nixon and LetsOn have ably represented the interests
of the route Travellers con rely on what these gentle
men state We know them and can vouch for them.
