The Gunner arrangement Is highly
importsnt to the Thousands Of Southern
people who, in les than a month, will

J. Durand was elected permanent
Chairman, aud e. s.. Flint Secretary.
The most interesting feature Of the
new arrangement to our travelling pub
lie is the through express train provided
for by the Jacksonville Rad via Cam
bridge City Cutoff, Columbus, OHIO, the
Panhandle route, and Pennsylvania
Railroad through Philadelphia TO New
York. By this quick train there will be
run daily, after the % b inst, a line OF
magnificent silver-psisee ears from JET
fersOnyille to New York city without
change.
The COurier-JOurndz of the 10Th gives
the folio wing description Of u Of these
60 palaces on wheels,n which had ar
rived at Jeffersonville on q pioneer trip
the previous day
The first OF these /" palaces on wheels"
came in on a pioneer trip yesterday by
way of indianapolis, and is lying at the
Jacksonville depot this morning, open
for the inspection Of u citizsns. The
car has externally the same general sp-
p~earancs we are accustomed to see in the
best specimen OF nrst class passenger
cars, and is mounted on q truck that
causes it to ride with an easy motion,
annihilatiug all the jars and j1lts
hat may arise should it be run
over 3 rough track. Upon entering the
car the visitor will fad himself in q yes
Thule, arranged with ssats st the side,
hiting it as a l%ounging place, in which
the tired passenger can refresh himself
by smoking, aud any free and easy dis
position of arms and legs that eonduces
to comfort.
The center of the car, when the beds
are put away, locks like the ordinary
passenger car, only far more elegant.
The ceiling is supported with polished
silver columns, with RICH Gjrinthisn
capitals, aud over them are silver cur
tain rods, held by richly carved brackets,
also of silver. Bsbind the panels of
glass, between the windows, are sscreted
lsmps convenient for specially lighting
each section o. the car. We Will not
prolong the description, but sum up all in
saying that whatever could be suggested
as adding to the comfort OF passengers or
the elegsnes Of their. surroundings has
been introduced.
An interesting condition is that the
fare paid entities the holder of the state
room or berth to It's sole occupancy sill the
way through. PARTIES Webbing to en-
gage these cars can DO so by telegraph
either from the E lst, South or West,
Here is g combination Of advantages at
which svery traveller, intent On business
or pleasure, may well re- Iiee, for il en-
tiTely frees him from 1.-THE thousand
natural shceksn that slowly-conveyed
desh is heir to. There can be 40 sort Of
doubt Of the popularity and successful
working Of this dsshing railway nlsn.
Af:er some unimportsnt proceedings
the following time-schedule, repoTtsd by
the coln nittee to ghoa the matter had
been referred, was adopted, and will go
into effect on the 10Th of April
