10 the River Editor Of the Star:
TENNESSEE RIVER, Jan. 20, 1878.
MR.. EDIToR-In a copy OF the Florence Ca
zetUe OF the I'd inst. is published private let
ter from w. G. Brown, SUPERINTENDENT of the
Evansville u Tennessee River Packet Compa-
NY, IN which he proposes to "drlyC" the SNIP
psrs along our river to patronzing his boats by
making "bOld threat' to us, IN which he no.
tfes all shippers along Tennessee River that
if they patronize any "outside" boat they Will
ssadvance" the rate Of cotton TO ~ per bale, and
everything IN proportion. As soon as the out
siders uult-and the general lone OF his letter
shows that the Packet Company seems to tnlnk
that they own. the tennessee River
al d that you shippers also 'belong 10 us, " and
YOU ''shalr' ship your produce by "Our boats, "
no matter at ''what rate' we put your freight;
and in answer to this tyrannical letter, have
very little to say, aud hope to say all to the
point so as not TO intrude on your columns
more than is necessary: That although, as
Mr. Brown seems to think we are all set of
"backwoods hoosiers." that know nothing
outside OF what we see in our own yards,
vet occasionally he Will find by ming
ling among us man that mas
one else tnat has been few miles away.
Don't we know that should the Packet tom-
pany abandon our waters entirel" Just SO soon
