SHIPMENTS.
Through the politeness Of C. n. Durham,
our efficien. Station Agent, we are enabled
to give the shipments from this station for
eleven months Of the past year and in part
for twelve also the receipts of freight. In
most articles of export there WAS slight de-
crease from the previous year bnt this may
be readily accounted for BY the fact that at
the commencement Of the rear the country
had been almost entirely drained ofthe pre-.
vious year's products, and the further fact
that no shipments Of consequences could be
made during the month Of December, on ac-
count Of the freight embargo by the Missis-
sipp. Under the circumstances, the show
ing is An exceedingly fair one.
The receipts Of freight At Independence
for the year 1867, December excepted, were
,s69 pounds, or 1853 tons. Charges
paid on same, eA7, ,s32 So.
