Lynchburg is not a city in which should
be mole than pleased 20 spend the balance Of
my days 1t is composed mainly ofhilIs and
valleys; and is as completely walled IN by
mountains, as any city in China by stone and
mortar. 1t is one of the dir,iest cities in the
Union n and for beauty of location, bears no
comparison to Petersburg. The scenery on
the outskirts of the city is very beautiful,-in'
deed, 1t is s3blime beyond the powers OF my
feeble pen t. describe.
l find here engaged ia the service OF the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Company,
slessrs. John and Alexander Whaling, late Of
he Richmond and Petersburg Road. These
gentlemen are We'll known to the travelling
public on the Great Mail Route ofthe country
l hey serve here in the capacity of conductors
on the Mail and Passenger trains,a and are day
gaming that popularity they SD richly melIe1
and enjoyed on the Great Mail Line. II er.
cry line Of railroad could be furnised with
such men, there would be less dissatisfaction
and Inconvenience attendant upon travelling
also lind on this road an old Acquaintance ID
