THE CONVENTION ArWNsroN.-Wc heartily concnr
in the suggestions of the Couri of Yesterday in re-
gard to the Importance of Lynchburg being tny rem
resented in the proposed Convention ut Winston \
G. Should the project of Railroad from the North
Carolina line to this city be successful the advanta
yes resulting to lynchbnrg will be almost ncacnla-
blended, we know of no other improvement pro-
iected or that could be contemplated that would be
half so beneficial to the interests of our peope AS tho
one now under consideration. The trade of the fines,
tobacco growing region of n c. must in the very ma
ture of things be attra' ted to this point The same
region is represented being exceedingly rich in
mineral resources, and its soils Yields most prolific
crops of wheat, and other agricultural staples
peculiar to this latitude. When this vast trade shall
have been diverted from its present channel and be
poured into the lap of our own city the ondcs anlie-
nations in regard to its future prosperity will have
been more than realized.
The very best means by which to effect so desira-
hea conslmmation is to send full delegation to Vim
ston and thus evidence those people that we are in
earnest in this matter and intend To exert ourselves
the utmost in aid of the road There exists along
the route sufficient amount OF capital with what can
lie raised in Lynchburg to build the road with ease
nn all that is now wanted is concert of action in
the matter and the thing is done. We hope the gem
temen who were appointed delegates from this city
may find it convenient to attend, and also as many
other of our citizens as feel interested in this great
work.
