CONCLUSION.


Having once more reviewed the three modes of inn
provement spoken of between Richmond and Lynchburg
| now proceed TO give my opinion of the improve
ment up TO Lynchburg
If economy is to have great weight i'm the decision of
the question: and the present sectional eXgences of the
trade up TO Lynchburg only, are considered, lock and
dam improvement would suffice
But ifitis wished adopt at once that STYLE of improve
ment best adapted to Virginia the great and
extensive advantages she command by her geograph
cal situations railroad is undoubtedly the system should
prefer.
This opinion TO which have inclined for some time az
may be gathered from my letter oast winter Mr. Gar
land has been fortified in my mind by the operations of
the past seasons which have proved the connection
with the west TO be most remarkably practicable and il
Virginia. prepared to cxPcnd three millions of dollars
upon improvement up the mountains il is certainly
not to a canal should wish TO see them applied.
will not trouble you with repetition OF the many ar
gmens urged by the respective friends of canals and
roads, as do not think that the question ought
cded here between them in the ABSTRACT bat rather by
the local and peculiar considerations belonging the
to which, it seems to me, Judge Wright, in the opinion he
has given did not sufficiently advert.
In the first place, the cost Of l-road double track
would not exceed $4,000 mile as is fully esta-
bished by the experience Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road
In the next this central line being in direction which
will invite travelling the improvement would derive from
THIS source an additional revenue not TO be expected on
the canal.
But the principal and decisive consideration have
to offer is that uniformity iii the mode of Transportation
highly desrable it the expense and other inconve
nences of translation every where and i'm This paric,,r
instance may save the whole trade For now the trade
OF Tennessee goes TO Baltimore the worst of roads
how much readily would take that course if a rail-
road from Tennessee Kanawha to James river was met
there by ono coming along the valley Of the Shenandoah
Let spcturc TO ourselves train coming rapidly down
to James river, which is rail road yadncE on this
an elegant locomotive engine Is In waiting which, in one
day willcarry the whole train TO Baltimore without delay
without unloading; on the other side arc negroes resting

and at a less cost.

diae but may, IL will come; and will tho make
