The Cumberland has again, at last, reached a
navigabe stage, and the boats running freely.
Receipts of new groceries have been liberal for
the past few days This is giving life and ami
nation to that branch of trade, which has been
for some weeks, in the absence Of stocks, laying
almost dormant. We anticipate now an active
business in this department. Prices arc yet irreg
ul r and unsettled. We therefore omit quotations
until next week.
The Pork HOUSES here are slaughtoring freely,
and as nearly as arrive at 1t, the prices paid

GREESyILLE, TGSS,, March lst, 1858.
Mr.. Editor--For ll,e present, am a So

want Of conveyance to get away. The
eastern end of the Tennessee and Virginia
Railroad is completed 10 within two miles
Of this town, and viii reach the Green,ille,
Tennessee, Depot in the course of ten days.
The western end is within eighteen miles,
and by the first Of June next the two ends
win unite, and then there viii be one con.
tinuous line Of railroad from Memphis to
Canada, and soon it will be completed from
Memphis to New Otleans. This is the great
Central Railroad, running through the very
heart Of the country, trayersing the most
productive agricultural districts in the Unit
ed States, and cnrtailing greatly the distance
and changes Of any other rsilroad route.
Already the effects are becoming manifest,
both as to the prosperity Of the sections
through which il is located, and upon the
travel of the Southern and Great Western
routes. The intermediate space between the
two points not completed is literally lined
with passengers, even at this cold and in,
