SIMS. RISHER & CO.'S FAST LINE.

We are truly glad to see that the excellent line of stages conducted by Messrs. Sims, Risher & Co., between this place and Jackson, is noticed in such handsome terms by several of our editorial brethren who have recently traveled in it. We had occasion ourselves a few days since to visit Jackson, and upon the recommendation of our brother editors, we seated ourselves in one of the stages belonging to this line, and great as is our aversion to stage riding, we soon found that we had no reason to apprehend danger from upsetting, or other accidents incident to this mode of travelling, for, the horses were well trained and the drivers skillful and trustworthy. In the twinkling of an eye almost, were we transported to Jackson, without any accident occurring to alarm our fears or disturb our equanimity. We would advise all persons who may have occasion to go to Jackson to try this line.
