Mr.. Arthur the Superintendent ofthe Illinois Central
writes that;
Freight tends southwark, and the large amount OF

TIE recent settlement made by the rival steamship
lires betU cen this port and San Francisco ia in'ei
gent movement Oh TIE part of the proprieors aud the
advantages are so manifest TO both siies that we are
onlv led TO wonder that such solution Of the difficulty
wa. rot ,rived at before. The Pacific Mail Company,
with the full control of the business of the North Pa
eGc coast is sure TO reap rich harvest of prots and
the indomiable Commodore, win the Atlantic line in
~
the Psusma road occupying the gate to both oceans,
is destined to receive larger tribute than ever One OF
the oot mportsnt points of the late arrangement is
that hcb stpulates that rates on freight shall not be
raised above the reduced prices established last
Autumn, and, while the public will be greatly
accomuoda ed by the intelligence thus displayed,
the steamship lines and the Panama road
rust receive On accession of bufiress which may
L :. H., r. To fact
the shareholders il these lines viii become alive
the various carried out and perfeced
but they can already make estimate of the future
by the present freight business of the Panama road
TIE Pacific Mail Co. commences the campaign
with $9C0 600 in cash, and cash assets Immediately
available and 5000 00 in the stock Of the North At
lantic Steamship Co., worth that amount making an
aggregate of more than 80 per upon the enlarged
capital Of $4,000 The payments to Com. Wander
b are TO be in monthly Istallments Of !l,OJO and
ths will be met with care, without Siturbing divideSds
or surplus Upon the whole therefore, with or with
out the mail contract, the position Of the Company,
with the increased freight traffic, and without the
monthly subtidy to Mr.. Vanderbilt, is in a
position much better ald stronger than
before the opposition commenced. The Panama Road
IL quite as much the gamer by the treaty OF peace as
are he conepdipg parties II not only has the assur-
arce of pecunary interest that the Nicaragua route
must he indefinitely postponed, but its managers must
now realise the fact that is the only practicable
freight route, except by way of Cape Horn, until
another railway the two oceans, or traverses
the waste lands between the Mississippi and the gold
FIELDS of California. BY the adoption of intelligent
measures in connection vita the steamship lines, the
business Of the world between the Atlantic ard Paci-
c will for years to come be drawn through that gate
way. To this result points the reduction in freight,
and az the western coast Of South America Pours its
products over the line and the productions and fabrics
of the Atlantic naons e 6rawn in tina direction,
the Importance Of securing hearty and intelligent co.
operation On the pam of the steamship lines will be
fly appe lated Tie pub i gain by this controversy
lower fares ana reduced freight charges, and
the Companies gain, in. larger business, more than
they lose by the reduction.
