Great Southern Mail Route
Carrying the U. S. Mail and Adam's Express, via Memphis and Charleston, East Tennessee and Virginia Railroads. 
The recent change of schedules renders it the quickest route to the North and East. No delay at Grand Junction -- Entirely Through Slave Territory -- 120 Miles Shorter Than Any Other Route.
   Connects at Decatur, Ala., with the Tennessee & Alabama Road for Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, &c. At Stevenson with Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad. Shorter by several hours than other lines to these points.
   This is undeniably the only Southern and direct route from New Orleans to all points North, East, West, South-west, &c.
   Be sure to call for tickets via "Southern Mail Route."
   Office, 118 Camp street, New Orleans.
