Vessels o! lighter dragght ave taken up the bay, but not directly to Movilo, it being necessary to enter the Spanish river, a! ita coniuence with the bay,a few miles below the city. Going up the Spanish river to its junction with the Ala- baina, the vessyla were dropped down upon its strong carrent to Mubile, whion city, though a few years since, in the vatne of its cxportations, ravked as the third coramecciat oy in the Lawn, uumbers only 25,000 or 30,000 inkubitauts, For the past year, however, we may safely state that its exportation has been e. ceeded by many of the thriving town: of the North.

There is bit one live of railroad ranping dicect into the city of Mobile, and this connects with the various other cities of the Tnion at a place called Mevidian, in Missis- tippi. From Meridian there is a railroad connection west with Jackson, Mississippi, thence south with New Orieans, north with Grand Junction and Memphis, an¢, still further west with Vicksburg and Tex: The North- orm road from Mobile vie Meridian leads direct to Corinth and all those point: of interest in that vicinity. From Corinth it at one time was connected with all the cities of the Union, bat now it is isolated therefrom. A contem- plated Sine was to have run east from Meridian, vio Selma, fo Montgomery, which is on the line of the Ala- bama Railroad; but the communication, we believe, bas mot yet been onened up. ‘The following is s table of distances # the railroad Between bioblle snd (he various named ctaitons:— | Distances.
