Our merchants are put to much unnecessary
inconvenience and expense at the present time
from the manner of receiving freights at the
Charleston and Ohio railroads. The rolling
stock Of these roads being often required for
military purposes, there are only certain days on
which freight can be received. On these days.
of course, each house is DESTROYS Of getting
away what they have for transport. The offer
of $3.50 a load to such draymen as succeed in
delivering, leads to the practice Of loading early
in the morning and hours before the doors are
from as early az one o'clock in the
morning, drays are crowding round the depot
gates when they are opened a scene Of whip
ping, rushing, struggling and erowding takes
place, which "must be seen to be believed
When as much of the freight is taken in as can
be received, those whose efforts have been in
vain return, with flowers of eloquence too bril-
liant fOr transcription, putting back their loads
for a new trial on the next receiving day, that
may prove as unsuccessful as the first
Some of the merchants propose e plan which
shall remedy this state of things-give all a fair
chance of getting off their shipments with the
least possible delay, and save much trouble to
the railway clerks, as well as to others. It is TO
have a register at the depots for applications to
send freight. At any time before the train starts,
merchant, or other person, shall send to the
an account of what freight they shall have
10 send. This shall be registered The appli-
cants' names shall be numbered I,2, 3, etc, in
the order their applications are received, and
the number placed to his name mus be written
on each dray ticket. When as many entries
been made as viii FL the cars, then the
books win be closed, and those who apply after
ward viii know they cannot send on that day,
and they can take their number for the next re-
day. If, when the freight is thus re-
ceived, it be found there is more than can be put
on the cars, the surplus will be retained at she
depot until the next opportunity, when it will
have the preference above all that may come
This plan is, of course, not without its
difficulties, but they would be trivial compared
with those that now prevail.
The New Orleans Crescent, of Wednesday,
Among the bills introduced before our Legis
is one for the benefit and relief Of sugar
1t has been the generally received
opinion that our sugar planters have been high
y favored in regard to the extent of their crops.
True, prices rule at much less rates than last
yea, but we have yet TO learn that the returns
have or viii be Recommending. Up to this
time the receipts Of sugar and molssse this

son, and sales have been corresponding. The
movements in favor of relief for cotton planters
have undoubtedly been the cause Of bringing
forward measures for the benefit Of sugar plant
ers. We have yet to learn that the sugar inter-
est is in want of legislative aid. IF 50, the cat
tie drivers Of Opelousas and Attakapas viii be .
applying for relief: so may the rice growers of
P%laquemines and the vegetable growers all apply
for relief. In fact, " poor u.s., editors, reporters
and printers, might with the same proprety
apply for relief.
The disposition to increase the paper cur
rcncy appears to be on the increase, more espe-
eially since the bin for the relief Of the cotton
of Louisiana has received such a very
notice from our legislators. The bill
authorizes the issue Of $l0,O00,G00 of treasury
on the part Of the State, payable in one
year after the blockade shall be raised, TO the
amount Of 3 cents T. ID. on cotton. Our legs
make no provision to continue the opera
lion except for the present. The notes are to
be male payable one year after the blockade
ceases. Suppose the war and blockade con-
for FIVE, six or ten years. If the great
