TIRE CENTRAL IMPROVEMENT OF

3 interest ia the completion of the grcat en-
,erpri;e of our State is awakened. we see tina,
the Richmond Wing, one of the most culight-
cned AMI hearty advocates of improvement, is
apparently staggered by some suggestions of
the %Lynchburg Niginian. That paper has adj
vanced the opinion that the outlay required
tor the completion of the Central Work To the
waters of the Ohio would be out of all propor-
ton To the amount of trade which could ever
flow through it. This opinion seems mainly
To rest upon the assumed fact that freight can
be carried TO New Orleans (from Cincinnati.

ever be from the same poirt to Richmond bv

made as To he rates of freight on the Ohio and
mississippi. showing a total inaccuracv of in
formation ON the subject. But il is needless
10 enter into details. We only ask those in
telligcnt and sagacious editors to think for a
moment. Let them not shut their ewes tn OBJ
riouS facts, and let them open their minds to
irresistible deductions. At thus moment i'm.
rn@n>e quantities of western trade are carried
