This tariff takes effect on the 5th of September. We are glad to see these steps taken for the encouragement and facility with the South. Th attention of our merchants has been directed toward this subject for some time past, and we are certain they will unite with us in thanking the Superintendent of the Illinois Central, Mr. Arthur, and the Freight Agent, Mr. Forsythe, for their effort in this behalf.
