The Central Railroad.

The Charlottesville Advocate makes sug-
gestlon to 5he Central railroad-a sugoes-
'tlon that has already been successfully acted
upon by the O. {; A. railroad-which, if
followed, viii add to the profits Ct the road,
and thus save the Board the necessity Of
cncountoring the general opposition made
by the people to increased rates Of charges.
1t is simply this: reduce the salaries of ev-
cry officer on the road, from the President
down to the very french on the train, soss,c
ten or twelve per cent BY doing this they
may relieve themselves from the odium they
are mourning, and, probably, retain their
present trade. Some of our merchants are
seriously talking Of going back to the Val
ley route, and having their goods brought
here by wagon from Winchester They say
they can get them quicker and cheaper, and
we arc Informed by one Of the stage con-
tractors here that TIE Stage Company. can
put passenger through to Baltimore tpo
dol|ors less tsaan the railroad. The latter
company had better look to its interest.
