son could have reached christianshnrg the next
morning have had thirteen hours for the trans
action of business. and returned to Richmond
for breakfast on the morning Of the second day;
thus reducing the period Of his necessary alb
sence from three days and two nights To one day
and two nights. The same result could be- at
tanned in the same time if the passenger should
venture as far west as Abingdon. Jt9 miles from
Richmond. II it be objected that schedules on
great continuous routes cannot be arranged Tor
the accommodation Of way travel. we assert that
a schedule. such we have indicated, would
facilitate and increase local travel. whilst
the mails and through passengers would also DO
hurried forward. From the letter of our Rich
mond correspondent, published yesterday, ii will
be seen that complaints are urged in that city
against the transit obstruoied at this place We
have shown that the fault is not with the Nir-
ginia and Tennessee Company. who have ad-
justed their schedule so as TO afford uninerrupt-
ed connection to more than 700 miles of travel
and it is not to be expected that all the routes
west of Lynchburg will be controlled by the 100
miles Of rail road connecting with Richmond or
Petersburg. Neither does II lie in the mouth Of
the friends of the Richmond and Danvlle rond
To offer objection. with their own example staring
them in the face. For u number Of years the

direction. have arrived at Richmond daily by the
Potomac and Fredericksburg route. at about

main in that city until the departure OF tho
Danvilla cars at from to Q o'clock next day
Now, il an additional train were despatched from
Richmond every evening after the arrival OF the

ing themselves still IN Richmond next morning

moro than two hundred miles further ON their
journey. We could really never understand why
the mails aud passengers should be So long de-
lnyed at Richmond. and we trust that the
Post Office Department is now fully awakened 10
the importance OF the subject, aud the necessl-
ties of the travelling public demand it, the Dan
Vile aud South side companies will see at once
the propricty aud policy of changing their sche-
