We fully appreciate the Importance OF the James

A President of an important Northern railroad
who visited this city few days ago, said he had
never heard of the York river There Is such
stream nevertheless, and one Of the deepest,
straiRhtest and most beautiful rivers on the Ame>
rican continent. BY the York River Railroad 1t
Is but 80 miles from Richmond to this noble river
or rather of the sea, which, at the West Point
terminus, gives depth Of water of twenty two
feet at high tide, Eight miles below West Point,
there is thirty four feet water at high tide deep
enough for the monster steamer now building in
England. 1t is stated. on what we regard good
authority, that that steamer will visit the waters
OF the Chesapeake, and she ought by all means to
be brought up York river. We commend this
matter to the Railroad Convention which Is to be
held on this subject and to the city of Richmond,
which ought to be represented in that Convention.
From West Point to Chesapeake Bay Is only
about thirty miles, the stream running straight,
broad and deep between the two points, and from
West Point to the Capes it is only fifty four miles.
The whole distance from Richmond to the Capes
by the York River Railroad and York river Is only
. hundred and twenty-five miles. If Richmond,
with such facilities of access to the ocean the
James and York rivers afford, shall not become
au important commercial city, it will certainly be
from any other cause than the want of natural ad.
