Q: should be closed by ice, and the transpor,
tstion of the mails arrested over the route
by Aqua Creek.
The adoption of the present scheme of con
n~ections with the South Western Railroads,
not then anticipated, which requires the rub
ming of two Dolly passenger trains, makes it
q matter Of some regret now that the former
contract should have been surrendered. In
May last, an arrangement was effected with
the several Railroad Companies interested,
by which an exclusive through-ticket was
formed with our own Company, and the Vir.
GINA Central K. r., Co., by the New Orleans
and jackson, Mississippi Northern Central,
Charleston and Memphis, Georgia and East
Tennessee, East Tennessee and Virginia,
Virginia and Tennessee, South Side and Dan
Vile Railroad Companies, for the passengers
travelling overtheir respective lines to Wash.
ington, and the Northern cities. This ar
rangement which went into full operation
about the lst of July, has resulted favorably
and produced a valuable addition to our re-
ceipts already, although from circumstances
beyond control, our Company is not allowed
it's fair proportion of the pro rata paid to
others. With the completion of our road to
Lynchburg, this difficulty will be obviated,
and d large part of the fare now received by
other roads must necessarily fall to cur
share. Enough is known, however, to de-
monstrate the grea. prospective value of this
business for which our road will hereafter
stand coufessedly, without q rival. The re-
suit clearly illustrates the original policy Of
the Company, in undertaking to construct
the extension of this important part Of their
work.
