Quick Delivery ofFreights.

One of the greatest advantages
that we now enjoy from the com-
peting of two great lines for our
freights is in the rapid delivery of
goods ordered or shipped: For in.
stance, on two recent occasions the
Mobile and Ohio railroad delivered
car loads of bacon at this station
within twenty.fou hours of the time
that it left the warehouse at Mem.
phis, a gain of several days over the
time formerly made, and on Saturday
last the Illinois Central laid down a
hundred and seventy-fve bales Of
compressed cotton at the side of the
Liverpool steamer in New Orleans,
within twenty. eight hours of it's
shipment from Aberdeen-by long
odds the quickest time on record.
Excellent as is the time now being
made in freight delivery by both
roads, we expect to see the situation
bettered as time advances, and this
quick delivery is, of incalculable ad-
vantage to the market that enjoys it.
