Tie upper or Claberne route passes through
the finest lands IN Amherst OF Nelson, through
very near the Courthouses al both counties. b.
side other villages. IN either of these routes
i.yehburg il interested. aud deeply interested,
and | desire tn offer some reasons tending 10
show the upper route the best for the Company
and the city of Lychbnrg. Passing two Court
houses, and connecting the places Of holding two
district Courts, the way travel arising from this
source must be considerable, and bc an item Of
Importance to the Company, and one of great
convenience to tho public.
The valleys Of llnrri'- Creek and it, branches
in The Tobacco Row come down 10 the road Mt
lien's shop the valleys of Buiialo and lis trib-
utniies 1T Amherst Courthouse and New Glasgow:
the valleys of Pincy River md il tributaries at
Rose Mill the yuleYs If I've River and Hat
Creek at Mr.. Blauz the valleys of Turner'S and
IIargrote's Greeks al and uenr Loving-lon and
DuvIs' Greek, RockG-b and it. tributaries below
Loeingsfnn. All these come from the Western
side ai the road-thc inrthesi 20 miles aud nj the
same time there il a country from 10 10 - miles
wide, on the Eastern side oi the road next 10 the

ber's hills 10 he effected seriously The ques-
ton then becomes one Of comparison between the
Dutch Creek ronte from I've River to Hammers
and The Claiborne route between the same points,
and We hesitate not 10 say that the products on
the Claiborne route, between tie two points above
designated more than treble those on the Dutch
Creek route Plain proof Of this i furnished by
the fnct that though the land- on that part Of
The Dutch Greek route from 10 90 miles
neafef 10 market linn those on the Claiborne
route they are worth from only one fourth to
one half as much-imd So far n Lynchburg Is
concerned she should be governed entirely by
the amount Of productions and the number Of
consumers of goods. The interest of Lynchhurg
tic Company, and the counties require that
the upper route should be adopted. More thick
~ populated, it viii produce more way travel
/ he l1nds being more prodnctlNc,thc freight will
be greater, and being nearer the centre Of the
counties more stock can be got on it.
NeSt, \ II a matter Of importance to Lynch
burg 10 begin the work nj that end II making
lYnehburg the firnsher Of many of the maierl-
als, supplies, mechanic, &c, for some 40 miles
al Railroad, an arm of Railway reaching 10
miles into Il rich country the entire products of
the rich valleys of Amherst and Nelson pouring
into LFnchburg for three years and the number
oi puroha-ers thereby furnished the Lynclburg
merehahls,the increased quantity of butter milk
meats and vegetables furnished the Lvuchburg
We say it is clear that il is vitality important to

when We say that the energy, shrcwdncss and

small quantities ot produce will go there from

continue To go there when theroad H. completed 10
lAhehhufE, And NOW, will the company make
thia arrangement! Money aud ii iargc amount is

money Ia hutlj zap lynchburg, while She refuses
10 assis. it by taking its stock. We repeat that
iNnehharg has il entirely in her power TO de
f}e erea, and important Advantages from this
foad-er she may sci quietly by and see the trade
go 10 Richmond and the North.
We have always believed that .vnchburg com
mttrd II great oversight in not cndcayorng 10
have the Southsde road open from hcr-and she
has grenter interests involved in this road.
IYnchhurg, by subscribing for 2OUO shares
(SloD.buj) of stock can control the location and
commencement of this work; and shcis not there
hY asked to throw away her money. but to invest
It IN what is generally believed will he the best
paving stock IN tur state. Whom Che Virginia
and tennessee hpliroad rs completed, the whole
traNel to and from the South and South west will
pass over this road and il will have more freight
and way travel than any other line in the State
| We know that the hherality of the Corporation
OF i.Nnchburg in regard 10 tic Virginia and Ten
nessee work has burdoned the city to some de-
gree, but we appeal 10 individuals, the Mer-
chants IobaccouiSts and owners of real estate.
Many OF them own fine tarms i'll Amherst and
Nelson, and will more than realize the money IN
vested by the increased price Of their land. Let
some public spirited gentlemen of your city then
start II subscription, conditioned that the work
shall be located ON the upper route and com
menoed simultaneously Mt l.yuehburg and Char
lottesallle. Call Il public meeting, and let the
matter be explained to those interested, and do
not, we urge you let this great improvement fail
10 awaken some interest III its behalf in your
