The st. Louis Times Of recsnt date a
of the Memphis and st. Louis Traaspor-
tation Company: " We wore pleased 90
receive \ cali yesterday from Capt. J.. c.
MeManus, of Memphis, whose visit to St.
Louis is in connection with the above en-
terprise. He informs US that the com
pany are at present having two hrst-class
freight boats built, one st Louisville and
the other at Jacksonville, which they
propose placing IN the trade between
Memphis and st. Louis by the first Of De-
eember. The impression which has here
tofore prevailed that the company inten-
ded the establishment of 4 barge line, he
informs us, is incorrect 80 far IS the pres
ent purposes of tho company are con-
eerned. Should business Justify, barges
will be run In connection with the steam
ers, but not until the boats have more
than they can do. BY the establishment
of the new line the company hope to
cheaper freighss between st. Louis and
Memphis, and by pzo-rating with the
Memphis and Charleston and other South
ern railroads, TO open up a cheaper route
to the inland cities of Tennessee, Georgia,
Mississippi and Alabama. ThOugha Mem
phis institution in the strictest sense of
the term, the company, il their efforts are
directed as above indicated, cannot fail 20
receive its due share OF the support and
patronage of the business men of st.
Louis. Capt. MeManus is an old steam
boatman of great experience and OF prac-
teal business capacity, and thoroughly
appreciates the importance of his new en-
terprise. The old company running be-
tween here aud Memphis, is well CON
Quoted, wealthy, and in every way relia-
BILE, but Capt. McMsnns thinks there is
" room for both"
