when We consider thai is territory IS As

it, population larger. Notwithstanding this,
i clear that The eXppr,able productions

Two causes for il. Granville possesses i
larger slave population than Orange, and
10 the extent Of thai difference, her lahnnr
is more effective and less expensive. This
IS one cause; the other is the stimulus Civ
rn to production By the ran road facilities
she enjoys. and being able To dispose Of
HE products Of her labour without having

But tire saving in iroigh, is not all !; the
wagon system Of transportation involves
the necessity oil keeping many more hors'
GO than will be necessary under the rai
road System. The expense Of keeping ;
horse is serious matter. The stage con
tractors, as have understood, pay from
100 to 100 dollars for keeping each horse
annually. Suppose that Iann horses, villa
with pasiurage aud a little starving can be
kept for $50, and that each Farmer in tht
county, oil All average, could in conse'
uuence OF the rail road facilities dispense
with one horse; $50 would be a comforts
BILE saving TO each, and in the aggregate
would he quite considerable affair

Should be thought ,ha. this estimate IS 10
high and ought to be reduced, ! will put
down to even $50, 900, and vet the annu,
