| Important Notice to the Travelling Public |
| We are pleased to see that steps have at
length been taken to improve the facilities for the expeditious passage
of travellers over the route from Wilmington to Montgomery, via
Charleston and Savannah. By a total re-arrangement of the schedules the
vexatious detentions heretofore experienced at Florence, Savannah and in
our own city will now be avoided; and the mails between Richmond and
Savannah will gain twelve hours each way. Passengers between Richmond
and the Southwest will find this route a pleasant one, with sure and
direct connections and making the same between Richmond and Montgomery
as has been heretofore made by either of the other routes. |
| The Northeastern train now leaves
Charleston at 2:30 p. m., and arrives in Charleston at 8 a. m. On and
after Thursday next, the Savannah trains will connect with those of the
Northeastern Railroad, as will be seen by the advertisements published
in another column. |
