PRESIDENT MURDOCH passed up the Mo-
bile road on Sunday last on his way to
Chicago. His mission was an important
one, since he contemplated a conference
with the President and Directors of the
Illinois Central Railroad in regard to the
extension of the Mobile road from Column
bus to Cairo. This extension will be- BEN
eicial to this section, and will cause a
marked reduction IN heavy freights. Ma

President Murdoch, and we are hopeful
that this project will be carried out.
The Holly Springs Reporter, of 23d
inst, has the following referring to the
Mobile and Mississippi River Railroad?
4" Mobile is bent upon having direct COM
municatiOn with the Mississippi River.
For this purpose, b has obtained from
our Legislature a charter for the Mobile
and Mississippi River Railroad. This

in a northwest direction through the State
of Mississippi, by way of Jackson, and
reaches the river in TuuicR county, at a
point opposite Helena. At Helena, it will
connect with b Iron Mountain and st.
Louis roads, the Little Rock roads, and
other roads which will sooner or later be
built to that point.
UNDER the head of I" Cincinnati's win
ming card" thu Nashville Banner of
a late date, speaka as follows: awhile
Cincinnati has not been able, for bet
ter than a year to discuss anything in the
railroad way, buta line to Chattanooga.
it is a relief to find at least one sensible
Cincinnati business firm writing letters
to h Enquirer 10 crave a passing thought
for the country between Cincinnati and
Nashville and Memphis. The writer con-
tends for the construction of an airline
not only to Nashville, but to be extended
to Memphis, UiG Jackson, and under the
charter of the Tennessee Pacific road?
and then will Cincinnati, in a great meas
ure, not only have eheckmated land
which she can do in no other way railway
movements and combinations, but like-
wise place herself in a position
to reclaim b she las lost
from Chicago encroachments. Can any
line Of road, be asks, be- conceived of ON
this continent, promising such continuous
and abundant ~sustenance, as one from |
C~ovington bridge to Memphis levee? |
Grain, tobacco, beef, pork from Blue
Grass, and this diverted ron Louisville.
Tobacco, grain, pork and petroleum of the
Cumberland river region, are now mar
keted at Nashville. ONO at Nashville,
upon a better footing in both time and
distance, to secure the shipments from
Knoxville and Chattanooga and those
o to be drawn 10 the same point from
Central Alabama by the Nashville, Deca-
tur and Montgomery railroads, now pass
ing to Louisville either for immediate
ports eastward. Leaving Nashville south
westwardly, and into the cotton belt, and
following il in o most direct line
through Arkansas and to the western
confines of Texas via III Memphis, FL
PasO and Pacific, or Southern Pacific rail-
road. Before reaching Memphis after
Nashville, this line would cross
that important feeder to your rival, the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, and still further
that other feeder, the Mississippi Central
both of which are more or less
Ia the interest of the Illinois Central and
Chicago. At these intersections the pro-
posed line would present the shortest and
cheapest route for Cincinnati, New York
and BIZ ston. and for cotton from Memphis
and Nashville for Liverpool through bills
Of lading tOith0Nt change of cars, until it
had reached the steamers piers in. New
York. Cotton suffers much waste from
changes and handling. This line
would be the short line from the Missis-
to the Miami Valley, and New York
md Liverpool, and without a future hope
ul competitor, except the contemplated
Memphis, Norfolk and Liverpool line.
