COMPETITION. The Southern route received on
Friday twenty-five bales of cotton for Boston.
which had previously been delivered to the
louisville and Nashville Railroad. This route.
ID time and low rates, certainly promises great
advantages When fully known we doubt not
it will compete successfully With any other route
to the East. Shippers are already beginning to
appreciate these advantages.
The above paragraphappeared in thelOeal
page Of Sundays UNIoNi AND DISPATCH.
We are now asked, as matter of justice
to all concerned, to publish the following:
"The shippers say they withdrew the cot
ton from the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, not because : low rates and great
advantages were not offered, but because
the cotton agent here, who has no connec-
ton with the Louisville ane Nashville Rail
road, failed to advance the amount he had
promised on each. bale that was, to be
shipped. The outside parties having failed
to pay the advance promised, the shippers
felt under no obligation to ship by him,
and accordingly sent the cotton through an
agent Of another route"

QUEER PHENoMEEA. Sunday night
the lower portion ofthe city was overspread
with dense mist, which, however, rose to
no great heighth. Standing on Capitol
Hill, the scene presented was strange and
peculiar Looking west, the dense fog and
smoke spread out on a level away to the
horizon, hiding every object from the eye,
The sky above was clear and cold, and the
glimmering lights up from the domiciles
beneath looked not unlike the reflection Of
the stars upon some placid lake. In fact
the illusion was very perfect, and with very
little stretch of the Imagination one might
have fancied that he stood upon the shore:
of a mysterious and undiscovered sea. i
was a sight seldom witnessed, we presume
and was noted by not few.

ARREST OF A SUPPOSED MURDERER
The Independent Detective Police yester-
day arrested negro named David John
son on suspicion of having murdered a
constable near Springfield, Robertson coun-
ty. The murder occurred about eight
months ago, and the detectives have been
on the look out for the criminal since that
time. The arrest was made in a drinking
saloon. The description Of the murderer
exactly fitsthe negro under arrest, although
he contends that he is innocent, and can
prove an abb by Mr., John Roberts, for
whom he has been working the past twelve
months. es.#
The detectives think they have got the
right man, and that the name Of johnson
is assumed, his proper name being Doc.
Pyles. He was taken to Springfield in the
afternoon train yesterday.
