ell, though not In the same ratio. II viii not do
10 plend in ekennaton of this policy that passen-
gers for the North would have been compelled
10 val, at the Junction all night. for We have
shown that express provision was lnade for run
ming through to Petersburg had the Richmond u
DanyilIe Co declined (Which We have no idea
they would have donc) operating with the
South Side in this schedule. II would not hav"
been necessary either a. our contemporary seems
to think that the South Side cars should have
departed from Petersburg "before the arrival of
the Southern train aud the river boats" Their
schedule time between Petersburg aud this lace
is seven hours. aud We think they might improve
a little on thnt-so that had they left Petersburg
at ) o'clock =. NJ, after the arrival of tia Nor
thern and Southern travellers. they would have
had eight hours in which 10 reach and connect
with the Va x Tenn. trains leaving this point
at | 4. VI. Passengers would then have rsaoh
ed Bristol at - NJ. left at | j. NJ. arrived at
Knoxville AT u A. NJ. NEXT day and at Dalton at :
p. NJ same day. Returning. reach Lynchburg at
4 p. VI. upon close schedule with Memphis, de-
part hence by the South Side at = arriving
at Richmond in time To take the Northern train
nv of Virginia an unbroken connection from
Memphis ON the Mississippi, to New lork'on the
Atlantic, and soon We trust, 10 our own outlet at
Norfolk The Inieiigenctr aflrms truly that
but one daily truth runs on the East Tenn. X Va
road, and this is the very reason why the Va, *
Tenn. Go. felt compelled to conform their sche-
dJle 10 its requirements, trusting TINT the south
Side Companies would see the propriety of guar
ding against unnecessary delay at this point, to
prevent the travel from being diverted at Chata-
nooga and Dalton by the Southern route. 1t is
of the first Importance if we wish 10 secure this
travel that these diversions should be avoided,
aud every accommodation extended 10 invite IT.
Since our la, article was written, have met
with the Superintendent Of one of The hlississip-
pi roads, who informed ia that he recently SAW
passengers turned of at both the points above
named. not because tho trans of the Virginia
and Tenn road failed 10 connect at Bristol, but
because the Souih Side ttains do not connect
here This i, the difficulty. and the South Side
companies can alone apply the remedy
In reply TO the query of our cotemporary as
to what would become uf the passengers that
should reach here by the additional train over
the South Side, we will only take his own nd
mission that the larger portion If II would be
composed OF passengers to the Springs for
whom special nc sommodation would be provided.
We have learned from the Superintendent Of the
va. aud Tenn. road, ihnt he Ind his arrangements
perfected, and always intended, TO run an extra
trim in conjunction with the South side for the ac
commodation of the Springs travel, and would
have been willing to carry the local or way mail
gratis. As the schedule proposed by the Va. *
Tenn Company was not acotptedthey, for grea-
ter convenience aud 10 meet the travel by stage
from Charlottesville, propose 10 leave here on
and alter the 9th inst. at q o'clock instead of !
A. NJ, and yet 10y increased speed and the exer-
else of u wise economy of time at the various
stations, overcome the FIVE hours thus lost and
effect their connections as at present WeIegret
exceedingly that the South Side Companies have
refused to avail themselves of the opportunity 10
Join in this quick schedule, but trust that they
will yet see sufficient reason TO induce them to
change their policy.
In all that have written, we have had but
single eye 10 the public good, being welded to
the interests of no particular Company and having
not Il single dollar invested in such stock. For the
South Side Company whose esteemed and
gcn,lemanly President we have been associated
in another department Of public serviee-we
have the kindIisst sympathies and would do
nothing to hinder its prosperity. We hear the
President of the Danyille road spoken of as an
ingenious, upright gentleman, for whose char.
acter we entertain the highest RESPECT and hav.
ing received another letter from him upon this
subject, it should be published if were con
yiuced that such i his desire. We will do him
the Justice, however, to say that, in spirit of
franknes-, which we can well appreciate, he con
codes the inacelracy of the two points
noticed in his former letter. but thinks that they
were not " material" Perhaps they were not.
lie communicates an item OF intelligence which
doubtless many of our readers will be happy to
hear. We give his own language;
The two companies have had some difficulty in
adjusting their time tables rs 10 make the up and
down trains meet ut the Junction-but the Ft3iaiaH
may be satisfied that every effort will be madeand
we think successfully and spcedy--to enable pas
seugers between Danye aud Lynchburg to so on
without delay
We hope they may, and will only add the wish
that effort" might "be speedily and
cessfully made" to let passengers from the Mis-
sissippi to the Atlantic and rice versa "go on
without delay"
