In the last annual Report of the Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad Company, observe
the following:
1.-The Board Of Directors desire t. impress
these important facts with great carurstur>>,
as the Company was the first to inauguratc
the policy of close connection, and thereby
untctter commerce, under the firm conviction
that the laws Of trade demanded il; and by
consequence the interests Of the Company,
rs we'll a. that Of the community along amt
tributary to The line Of Road, wouIi h.. AL
yanced Being identical, the true policy Of
one properly exercised would be- promotye
of the interest of the other. The results,
therefore. are most conclusive and satIoiacta-
nv, and it is now evident that had different
line Of policy been pursued, it would have
tended not only to emharrass the Road,
operations, but u inIure the commerc" OF
the terminal points ~ Instructions would
have been thereby presented. which would
have diverted both travel and tonnage -
other routes. Wisely did the Legislature
act in granting to railroads the right around
such cities at pleasure, ~ prohibit the union
of rails within their limits. I'm all through
arrangements the cost of transit from one
road to another should be- borne exclusively
by the roads terminating where those d.
structions occur, and not be, Is has been,
and is now to some extent, distributed along
the whole route"
This with other indications, in the same
report, looking, it would seem, solely to
connection with Barimo,r, | trust. is not .
foregone conclusion, that Alexandria is 10
be crushed between the upper and neither

having a railroad interest, our people ar" 10
DO forced to regard railroads, as likely I"

repealed forthwith. The Legislature Of VIZ
