RAILROADS. vs.. STEAMBOATS,.

a special to the Globe DrmoCrat from
Cairo says:
1t is predicted that inside Of a very
few years there will not be in existence
OH tho Ohio River a packet line which
will extend below Memphis, indeed if
it does not terminate ut Cairo. This
state of affairs promises to be wrought
by the cncrOachmcnts of the iron horse
upon the domain SO long enjoyed by
steamboats,. There is but little sCnti-
ncnt among shippers at best, and
when it comes to 4 cent or less per 100
in favor Of The railroad the boat is
given tic go-by. The Ohio River
South-bound transportation traffic, SO
far as steamboats, arc concerned, is so
rapidly declining as TO make manifest
to all who arc interested that the end
is in the near future. The Louisillc
and Nashville Railroad Company tap
the Lower Ohio at such points rs on
ahlcS then. to keep the river drained,
and at such rates rs would impovcrish
steamboats, were they even enabled TO
control it. Several years ago Mount
Vernon, ShawncctCWn and many other
smaller places shipped thousands of
tons weekly by river South. Now ship
mCntS from tho q points arc few and
comparatively unsatisfactory. Pad
ucah in former years sent immense
quantities Of tobacco to Now Orleans,
400 or 800 hoGshcads per boat. Now
it is Il rare thing To- ship a single pack
age. Even though the South has pretty
we'll supplied herself with produce
from her own fields, enough business
remains between the OHIO and South
ern points, if not diverted by all-rail
cheap rates, to enable a line Of CinCn-
natl and New Orleans packets TO make
a fair living. The Cumberland River
ten years ago contributed 1000 hogs
heads of tobacco per week To the
cargoCs of south bound boats, rCshipp-
ing at Cairo; now, none. OF course,
il is the low rail rate that is creating
this revolution in transportation circles.
Thore being no help for this state OF
affairs, it would seem As though short

and the lower world is the only saliva

conducted could be made q very form.
liable competitor for the Ohio River
DuSlucSS against present Inducements
offered by the all-rail people. In after
years, when the steamboat is driven
from the field, the shipper who pre-
ferred TO patronize railroads will be
enabled to judge how much better off
he is, and contemplate the change in
rates which has rendered it impossible
that he should get his produce to
market, leaving the usual fair and equi,-
able margin.

"rhe Unions are equal TO the ocra

efforts TO srcnrc professionals" says
our contemporary, the Farmerville
Gazette. We give place TO the full
account following in the Gazette, sim

hr between aliens, hut between local
t" came from little boys whose cnthusi-
nS,n was pardonable, though not any
exhibition Of ill-brrC,ling. 1t might
be auh"h, we hClicVr, that our Union
guests were hospitality entertained, and
by all thoughtful people Il chivalrous
attention shown them. This fact
appears to have escaped any recognition
by the Gazette, whose report now fol-
lows:
Monday at $40 p. III. the Union club
Of Farnrrvillc and the Monroe club
met on the diamond Of tho latter club
y, Monroe to play an exhibition game
Bff"r" the game was ca&lCu the latter
club had protested against tho Unions
playing any professionals as part OF
the Union nine, ana before play was
commenced, on a score of to o. the
Monroe nine forfeited the match game
aud the purse of $50 to thc Union nine.
The Monroe club now fully realize
that their example in playing Girls
wrii upon tho Unions was not tho pro-
tl,ip,r 1b do WHOM
made with the professionals on the
pant of the Unions. But as tho boys
from tn" growing and cntcrprsing city
OF Monroe had taught our boys how il
was done, the Union boys took the
lesson and learned il we'll before at
tempting 20 profit by it. They did so,
in playing five innings with the fol-
lowing score:
