Tie Front Royal Gazette seconds the New
Market Spirit in its remarks concerning the
rates of charge for freight and passage on
the Manassas Gap Railroad, and says that
the present charges are used to the prejudice
of the road, and are doing it serious in
jury. We doubt not but that the subject
will claim the attention of the President and
Directors. They can have no desire for any
thing in the matter but the interests OF the
rad and the accommodation Of the pubic.
The Front Royal Gazette says:-"Ihe rates
before were TOO high, and the addition not
O lly tended to inhame the opposition 10 the
road, but it has driven travel and freight
therefrom. We learn that many farmers Of
Rsppahannock who formerly came to Front
Royal with their produce, now 90 to Warren
ton, and that the farmers in other counties
prefer to wagon to Alexandria" We men.
ton the subject to call attention to it--aud,
we repeat, that we are satisfied every thing
will be done, that can be, to remove discou-
tent, and do justice.
