President Mcdaniel, in anticipation Of the
freight tariff in preparation for the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad has authorized a reduction of
cents in the charges all articles rc.ei, ed at
any point in Tennessee for shipment the

ported from Knoxville. by way Of Charleston, to
New York cheaper than from Knoxvillet to Lynch
burg. Wheat can now be transported from Knox
ville by railroad to Lynchburg and thence 10y ca

charge from Knoxville to Charleston is 80 cents
per bushel. Thus it will be seen the cost of trans
portation If bushel of wheat from Knoxville to
Richmond is lower than from the place to
Charleson, while Richmond is hy far the Lest
market for all the produce of East Tennes. &c.
