THE Souru-s;GpE RAlLRoAD.--The order counter
cndinr in Yesterdays issue of the paper the sched-
le recently put forth by this Company came too late
far to do more than withdraw the advertisement
What induced this sudden change of purpose we are
At loss to know, bui think that it will all affect
Tho public interest 1t only proposed to run in con-
rectiop with the accommodation train of the Va 4
Tenn road and would have delayed through travellers
here four hours longer without any counervainp
,ood II will be by extracts from our exehan-
yes published in another column that Lynrhbnrg is
bera;ed for the interruption Of travel occurring here
when in fact she has agency in cifecting it

It.
THE DISTRIBUTING OFFICE Ar Abingdon. Our
friends of the Abingdon fryRioa to misunder-
stand the spirit in which former article WAS writ
fen 1t the hrthest from our thoughts to reflect
in any wise, either the berality of the Abingdon
ueopc or the importance of their town. and even
had we been assured that the removal Of the disib-
uting Office from their midst would have exerted an
influence deeterons TO their interests should have
been very loatb TO have written what did although
we were then fully assured OF the Justice of views
and have seen nothing subsequently, to cause change
in this particular. The FVgjailN acknowledges tie
fact then stated viz that there exists neeess-
" for nm Office OF distribution Abingdon bu, is at
:, loss 10 know how the thing be remedied by re-
moving the office to Bristol, 5 the delay is but 81
minute there and it requires two houis to distribute
the mall In former article We attempted 10
demonstrate that owing to the iocdUy Of bingdon il
was unsuited for distributing Office and in calling
it "a way station had no disposition TO reflect On
either its size or consequence The meaning we de-
sired to convey was simp this its situation
on the line of the railroad and either terminus,
and in virtue of that fact schedule could be made
by which sufficient time would be allowed TO distrb
ute the mail, contemT plated by the Department
when the office located at that point lfths
town contained the population Of NeW York city il
would still be but "a way station however dsa-
greeable the fact may be to its nhabieuts We used
this term in offensive sense, but simply because
it was the only one with which are acquainted
that expresses our meaning Bristol is the terminus
of both the Virginia Il Tennessee and East Ten
Va roads, and in virtue of that fact would
answer the purpose of distributing Office much bet
Ter than Abingdon We are aware Of the fact that
sufficient time is RotHor ailo wed at the former place for
the changing OF the mails but as minated in
first reference to this subject, haze doubt that
if the Department satisfied that necessity
lists for a distributing Office in that section, the sehe1-
ule for the running of the trains could he adjusted
to allow time at that place in order to arrange and
distribute the mail matter for the South wcst-but in
