Our readers who arc aware that Danvie is stu

doubt be surprizcd, 10 find that friend Best of the
Integenccr should perpeirdte any thing equal TO
the above extract. After our wonder had some what
subsidized, we began to reflect whether or not our
entcrpr zing ncighbors had discovered some back
frdcb by which they might reach Baltimore with
out passing this place. But our neghbors say
that they can reach the coal mines by a rail road
miles shorter than that from the mines to Sunbury,
and that this advantage would enable them 10 com
pete with us. II must be rccooced, however, that
a road cannot be made to Danvc without an in
cned plane, all events steep grade Of not less
than as feet to the mile, to overcome the summit
of the Shamokin Hills, while every foot Of the road
from the mines to Sunbury is descending. Now we
contend, that under these circums ances, coal can
be delivered cheaper at Sunbury than it could be at
, Danvlle; or in other words, il can be transported
cheaper over a road of regular descending grade
lsJ miles long, than over road Ii miles long, with
an ascending grade of i5 feet. For the truth Of the
above assertion, we are willing to appeal to any
