DaA nj In
General Assembly of Virginia, praying an ex-
'ension OF The Richmond and Danville RAILROAD
through South Western Virginia 10 The TenDes-
see line, respc cltuy submit, that they are folly
impressed with the importance of connecting The
South Western portion Of Virsi with Tide
wafer, bT a continuous 'ailroad along The most
practicable route. They believe that railroad
from The Tennessee line 10 some point on The

eligible location, would in n eminent negree, de-
velop the rich and e1hausess mineral res ources
OF South Western Virginia. greatly promote The
agricultural interest Of the Southern and middle
portions ofthis Stae, and ultimately increase Inc
tonnage and enhance the valne o' the STOCK Of Inc
Richmond and Danville Railroad Company.
Your committee are satisfied, from reliable ev-
idence ina, gypsum and lime, the greatest mine

procured in Southwestern Virginia 10 an llliml-
bic ex,ent-the former at fifty cents per ION aud

mand for these great staples alone would swell
the tonnage Of the Richmond and Danville Kali
road 10 mort profitable extent, could railway
connection with the latter be made, penetrating
this fertile region.

lions:
