NORFOLK AND RICHMOND STEAM LINE
We learn from the Norfolk JOnWaL that
the steamer Eliza HancoN was launched
on Friday from NaSll's Ship-yard, and will
he soon ready for service. She will take
the place OF the steamer John Sylvester
between Norfolk and Richmond. The
Sylvester will probably be withdrawn for
repairs. The Eliza HancoX is fine steamer.
She was formerly running between Charles

A Mississippi and Tennesse,

. A CARD--M ississippi and Tennessee
Railroad September /, 1867 There
appeared in this mornings Apdkanche
an article in which my name Is used
much too freely in connection for which
am not at all responsible, but mean TO
defend myself against any and all rehec,
tons that may be cast on my eharac-
ter. The Avalanche, or any other paper
that will publish such an article aud
claim at the same time to be first class
newspaper, ought to feel ashamed Of
itself for so doing The purport ofthdi
article is this-it appears from the slate
ment---the newsagent on the Mississippi
Central railroad has not settled with
that paper, and BECAUSE / am the first
man that ever acted in that capacity on
that road, and was also the first news
agent that ever run on hedinerent rail-
roads leading out of the city OF Mem
phis, and also the. man who aided
to make the Aratanehe and all other
papers Of long Standing in Menu
phis what they are - prosperous
and largely circulating journals, IT
seems that the Apaldnche undertakes TO
reward me for my laborr by using my
name as that Of swindler and a thief,
and at the same time holds me account
able for the, acts Of all those men who
| have engaged in the news business since
| / engaged in it. / would respectfully
inform. the public generally that am
not now the news agent OF the Missis'
sippi Central railroad, and have not
| been for the past eighteen months But
as | am the only Wells that ever was
news agent on that road, aud nine
tenths Of the people not knowing but
what / am yet the news agent Of that
road, / am compelled to make thislreply.
| also state that do not owe the Agd-
lanche one dime, that carry their pa
per AZ well as all other morning papers
| published in the city of Memphis, on the
| line of the Mississippi and Tennessee
railroad, and l defy the Acaldnche to
| end any fault with the way the news
! business is conducted on that road
nav my news bills weekly. / also de-
mand OF the Avalanche to correct the
statement made in this morning paper,
and not to attempt again to SANDER the
name Of Wells, the news agent, in the
columns of the paper. As for the rehec'
tons cast.upon General West, President
of the Mississippi Central railroad, |
have nothing to do with, more Than to
state that | know him, 10 be q high
