| So heavy have been the
shipments of provisions to the South, under the apprehension that the
supply might be cut off, that the people of Louisville have become
alarmed for themselves. A few days since the President of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad, Jas. Guthrie, gave orders to
delay shipments, as he had been waited upon by a mob, and informed
that if he persisted in sending trains forward the track would be torn
up. An examination revealed the fact that the supplies still
remaining, and constantly coming on, were unusually heavy. There will
be no famine. |
