Fast TIme Via lion 1IonntaIn RaIIroad.

We copy this from the st. LOuis Globe;
Some complaint has been made recently
by shippers of perishable freight to New
Orleans via the above line; that the goods
which were forwarded from here in covered
stock cars had been transferred en- route to
close box cars, which, together with the
length Of time required in transit, had re-
suited in the arrival OF the freight at its
destination in a damaged condition. Mr..
Frink, the general freight agent Of the Iron
Mountain railroad with bis usual prompt
ness, at once wrote to the general freight
agent of the Mississippi Central railroad,
who returns a letter from the agent at New
Orleans giving the numbers Of way bills of
all the perishable freight received from
this city from August ! to August 70 in
elusive; also the date of shipment from st.
Louis and receipt at New Orleans. The
communication further states that there
was transfer en- route. From this state
mcnt we find that the average time con
oumed was three days and nine and half
hours.
The distance from st. Louis to New Or
leans is 725 miles, and we think the time
mentioned may safely challenge cOmpari-
son by any road.

which could not have been published save
dishOnorably. We now have to add that it

of the publication, and inquiring whether it
could be genuine, Mr.. Greeley telegraphs:
Il have written none but private letters,
and written to no person that we shall carry
