STEAMERS BETWEEN NEW YORK AND
RICHMOND

We published, last week, letter from gen.
tleman of New York to citizen of Lynchburg,
setting forth, succinctly and forcibly, the impor-
lance and necessity Of steam. packets between
New York and Richmond, not only to our local
interests, but TO the prosperity of the great Rail
Road scheme in which we are embarked We
have now the pleasure of giving letter from an
intelligent and enerprizing merchant of Rich
mond, to another citizen of Lynchburg, who has
long been endeavorng to promote the connection
alluded to. We are very much gratified to learn
that there is so great certainty of speedy ac-
comPlishment of this scheme. We rejoice at it
because OF the intrinsic value to us Of the line
OF steamers contemplated-but we rejoice even
more on account of the evidence it affords that our
great work has already attracted the attention and
commanded the confidence of keen-sig lighted, prac-
tlcal men Of capital in the great commercial EN-
porium. There wasa time when New York re-
lied implicitly upon her natural advantages and
the start she had gotten in the race with her SIS
Ter cities. Boston, on one side, and Phadel-
pima, on the other, have, by well conceived and
well executed systems OF Rail road, induced
diversion of trade which has reused her from a
false security. Her enterprizng merchants and
capitalists are now looking in every direction for
points with which TO grapplc. They have the
