THE crNTRAI, RAILRoAD.


We said the other day that subscription
Of 100000 to this Road, would increase the
taxes $1,000 per annum. That increase, how
ever. might not be necessary the first year,
as the bonds Of the city would bring more
than par. Nor are we TO presume that this
increase would be continued for many years.
As soon as the road is completed, it viii be-
gin to pay dividends, if it should not have to
borrow very largely on its own credit, in
which case 1t would have property to that
extent beyond the amount of its capital and
the city would hold its share of that excess
of property. 1t is fair to presume, however,
that the road will be diyidend-paying road
when it is completed, and we may infer from
the large travel it will have, and the produc-
tive country it traverses, that it will pay
dividend of at least 10 per cent. This will
be considered by many very extrsvagant;
but we beg them to remember the immense
travel by this road in summer-and to re-
member that the valley of Virginia is high
ly productive part of the State, and improv
ing as rapidly as any other. If we may not
form our estimates of the business of road
from the country it taps, there is no other
rule to govern us. On this ground then, we
may safely count upon fine business and
prosperous career for the Central Road. We
cannot think that the city will ever be sub
jected to the slightest embarrassment by sub
scribing an additional 500, 900 to it,
The question is, shall the road stop! What
will be said of Richmond should it come to
that? Would a Northern city allow road,
it had SO deep an interest in, to pause in its
course, and stick at point where it could
not yield any profit to its stockholders, and
the country be deprived of its chief advan-
tages? We hardly suppose it possible that it
would. Should the road be suspended, thou
sands wilt-be lost by the dilapidation of its
unfinished work, and much larger amount
will be necessary to complete it after such
suspension than now. With these reasons for
aiding and pushing the work, its friends and
those towns and cities interested in it, will in
volve themselves in the charge of apathy and
want of enterprise, to allow it to stop.
On the other hand, if Richmond puts her
shoulder to the wheel once more, and proves
her determination to take care of her inte
rests, it will win for her eclat of no moderate
degree in the commercial world-she will rise
considerably higher in the general estimation.
This act alone would exert palpable effect
upon her trade; and while it would prove be-
nehclal abroad it would exert good effect
at home. The reflection that we had made
