ALEXANDRIA,:
THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL IA, 1859.

\ number of the principal merchants Of
Baltimore have signed memorial to the
Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, stating that the high rates of freight
charged by the Company upon the coal
transported to Baltimore, has already pro-
duced a serious effect upon the commerce Of
that port. In this memorial it is stated
further, that the actual difference in the cost
of the same coal, delivered free On board
vessels at Alexandria and Baltimore, at the
present time, is sirty-t,co cents per ton ~ ia
coy, Of Alexandria, and the memorialists rep
resent as their opinion, founded upon long
practical experience in the coal trade, that
unless the Company shall decide promptly
to reduce the rates of freight on this article
to such figure as will enable them to offer
coal to consumers at prices approximating to
those of Alexandria, this valuable branch of
trade, now so much reduced, will soon be-
come extinct in the city Of Baltimore. This
memorial concludes, as follows
While the coal trade is being taken from
Baltimore by the present excessive rate OF
freight, it is being made permanent at Az
e.eand,ia by furnishing powerful impetus
to the completion of the Loudoun Hamp-
shire Railroad, which, but for the coal trade
would be considered impracticable by capital
lists, but with this trade as basis, this rail
road, which brings the Western sections of
our State and the entire coal fields some
forty miles nearer tide ,cater than by your
road, is now finding great favor among the
people and Legislature of Virginia, and is al
ready being subscribed to by our own capt.
talists, who have invested their means in the
coal mines of this State"
