Interesting TO Travellers.

Under the head of Fast Time Between
New York and New Orleans, Nernon's Rail-
way Guide says: mo better proofs needed
Of the resuscitation OfbusinesS IN the South
than the efforts which are now being made
by various lines competing for Southern
traffic to shorten up their running time, and
afford travellers conVeniences III the way of
sleepng-cars, which have never heretofore
been supplied. The Pennsylvania Railway
Company are in this instance, as they al
ways have been, the pioneer in establishing
through cars, and in their efforts to secure
travel by such means they are ably second
ed by the Central Transportation Company,
who have put on the train which leaves New
York via Philadelph at 2. NJ. special cars
Of the most approved pattern and most
ornate finish, which run through to .Jeifer-
sonyille via Pittsbur@. Columbus Cambridge
city and the Shelbyyille cutoff without
change. Thence passengers run through to
New Orleans without change in the So-call-
ed Rip Van Wrinkle Line;' and we are con-
WINGED from the running time, as sLown in
the schedules of the various lines interested,
that the material condition of all roads south
of the Ohio river must have been improved
very much during the past year. Passen-
gers leaving New York by the p. NJ. train
reach New Orleans in IS hours, and are now
brought from New Orleans to New York in
a little more than 76 hours. 1t was to meet
the requirements of this Southern travel
that new train, called the Southern EX-
press, was placed on the Pennsylvania rail-
way between Pittsburg aud Philadelphia,
and New York via Philade phia. Passen-
gers leave New Orleans now at p. NJ, ar
IRVING at Louisville at A. NJ. the second
morning. thence by the Cambridge City line
ito Columbus, connecting there with the s 80
p. NJ. train, which reaches Pittsburg in time
for the A. NJ. Southern Express, arriving
IN Philadelphia at 6 80 P. NJ, New l ork at
TO 30 P. NJ. 1t is needless to state in this
that the most implicit reliance
may be placed in the advertisements Oflines
north of the Ohio river, which are competi-
tors for Southern business as against the
Southern Mail Routes and there is no doubt
that very large number of Southernors
who pay periodical visits to the North in
search of rest and health will appreciate the
thus furnished, and patroniZe
those lines of rail Way which have made
such eXertions to make the Northern route
popular" The editor, with equal truth,
might have added that the most implicit re-
lance may be placed in the advertisements
of the lines south of the Ohio river, which
form the great through line. All of the
5roads are in splendid condition and fast time
fand sure connections are guaranteed. An
bother fact which is of Importance in this
connection is that by recent arrangement
the terminus of the Mississippi Central rail-
way is now at Humboldt instead Of Jackson,
Tenn, as heretofore, thus saving passengers
the delay and annoyance incident TO trans
ferring baggage, engines, etc. The many
advantages of the Louisville route over all
others are daily becoming more apparent
and it is growing in popularity with the
travelling public. The advantages of the
route may be summed up briefly as follows
speed, comfort. close connections, few
changes, and cheapness.
