noon a drizzling rain or rather a fine
mist took their place, continuing with
little intermissiOn until toward night
fall, when a steady shower COM
menced to fall, which promises to last

There is much complaint, and, we
are sorry TO say considerable indigna-
ton felt among our merchants gener-
ally, at the conduct of the Louisville
Railroad Company, in regard to the
delivery of freight-Ofwhich we made
mention q day or two ago. 1t is said
that instead of delivering local freight
the Company IL bending its entire en-
ergies to passing and forwarding
through freight. If this is 50 it is
scandalOuS, and should be discounte-
nanced by the combined action of our
merchants. We hope the Chamber of
Commerce viii take early action in
the matter.

As we were the first of Southern
journals to notify our people that
Capt. Silas Miller, their enemy, was
the lessee and manager of the great, |
magnificent, new Gait House at Lou
isville, and TO warn them, therefore, |
against patr0nizing that establish
ment, we have much pleasure in no
tifying them now that Capt. Miller
has resigned, has no longer anything
to do with the Gait House, which. for
tunGtely for the proprietors, has
passed under the control of Col. JilsOn
=. Johnson, a gallant soldier, a true
gentleman, a man Of elegant and
courteous manners-the man to keep
a hotel. Under his directions the
Gait House will advance TO its old
rank as n among the principal hog
tells Of the country, famous for its
fare, for its clean, comfortable rooms,
its polite walters and attendants and
the promptnes5 towards guests of its
principal officers. Remember the
