The stockholders will remember that at their last
annual meeting there still complaints against
the tariff Of freight Notwithstanding the recent re-
duction which had been made. This board thought
1t unwse to make further alterations, until similar
reductions should be agreed upon by other roads
between us and the destined markets of produce
For it would be unjust and unequal to starve out
this road for the benefit Of others. Your board are
happy to say, that in May last, they were met with
corresponding spirit of libertlity on the part Of
the Petersburg company and that tariff was
agreed upon for both roads which we believe to be
Just and equal in its bearings and that it has given
general satisfaction to shippers. Through freights
have also been agreed upon with the Seaboard and
Roanoke road in con junction with the steamers from
Baltimore and Philadelphia, which will both expedite
and cheaper freight to our patrons.
We have also greatly extended our system OF
through tickets, with decided benefit to the compa-
ny, by increasing the number OF passengers This
number would have been doubtless larger, had we
have continued to run the double daily trains but
this was deemed mpracticable with our present
motive power. The engines had been run down,
and required expensive repairs to restore them to
their present condition. Should the double daily
trains he again restored, an increased locomotive
force will be Indispensable
The President would be unwilling to close this

has received from able and experienced Super
intendent and Master Maclinst: they have at all
times checrtillly done their duty TO the company

"A subscriber signing himself A

which the subject of John Brown was
discussed has sent us the following, to
refute the first:
At meeting to read and digest the
news of the day, we discovered in the
columns of the Press a communication
ftom this place, stating that the usu-
al stiffness of this place bad been dis
turbed during the past week by the
discussion of the following questions
"Is it right to hang John Brown, and
will he be hung 2" and it being finally
decided that it was not right to hang
him, and yet that he would be hung,
therefore, the majority OF the people
did endorse the sentiments Of Emerson,
that the gallows on which Brown was
hung would be- " made glorious as the
Cross" Now, | venture the assertion,
that there is not man, be he Jew or
Geatile, Democrat or Republican, An
ti-Leeompton or Native AMERICAN,
that would be heard to inter such
blasphemous language, and to show
your reporter how they appreciated
the sentiments attributed to them by

such wrong impressions go out before
