have received the following communication from
B. F. Smith Esq, in reply to that of Mr.. Hills ii

NEM LUX NENIhAls RAILROAD
BUFFALO, Nov. 23d, 1859. (
MEssRs. EDIToRs-In reviewing that part o
t my article published in the Cincinnati CONNER
cial of the nth Inst referring to the rates by al
rail, and part water and rail- Mr.. Hills labors unde
}, very serious error in regard to my position.
+ maintain that the mmutable law of supply AM
demand will govern rates If left unaided by Rrtif
cial means. I.r
1 admit that the same Convention which adopte
rates for all rail made an arbitrary rate for til
o Lake to correspond with the all Iail, maintainin
- fair difference, but this does not meet the pon
at issue. The rate made by this conventional rul
by all rail to Atlantic cities, less than the cul
{ rent Lake rate to Buffalo and the current rat
o charged by the Erie Canal, or by the N. y. @.
r. Hence it is fair to presume tuat had all tb
rail lines been constructed into natural water line
and navigated by boats instead OF cars, the rate
, with open competition, would have advanced moi
rapidly than It permitted 9 do, by the Actio
10 of the Conventions held to establish rates.
This is clearly proven by actual results exhibit
ed in more rapid advance by Lake Erie aud th
Erie Canal with insurance, aud the delay necessar
g to such modes Of transportation, us compare
with all rail, "1hs extraordinary condition
