W. do not know whether the Orange aud AleXan-
dra railroad in their tariff OF through charges from
Lynchburg TO New York, include manufactured
tobacco As one of the articles to be carried at one
dollar antftlree cents per hundred pounds II thls
he sn the ton of tobacco from Lyme hburg TO New

seven cents while the same will cost, via canal ana
steamboat thirteen dollars and fifty cents, making
a difference OF six dollars and ffty-seven cents per
ton. .
With reference to the toll on Virginia coal 1t IS to
be observed that heretofore, the toll on this article
descending the canal was two cents per ton per
mile and on the same ascending the canal one cent
per ton per mile The object OF the Board OF Dree-
tors OF the James River and kanawha Company III
making this reduction to half q cent per ton per
mile in al cases is to deveOpe the mineral resources
OF the State and to reduce the cost OF II TO our ct-
zens Ii j, we'll known that a large amount OF cap
s tal /; seeking investment in the coal lands on the
canal and, of course every reduction IN charges oil
transportation will encourage enterprise. Another
object of the reduction is to promote the production
of iron slate cement &C. We understand that
there is large accumulation OF cotton aud other al
tclcs al lyuchburg awaiting transportation the ca
pacitv OF this Orange and Alexandra Railroad De-
ing insufficient to meet the heavy demands upon H.
More than no bales of cotton are now there ready
for shipment by the canal to Richmond while fully
one hundred thousand bales are expected to arrive
at Iynchburs rapidly as they can oe transported
from the South The Virginia and Tennessee Kali
road is now taxed to its utmost capacity in brnng
freight into .ychburg, and understand II Is the
intention of the Canal Company and the trcighters
and shippers ON the canal and river to secure as
much rs possible of this valuable freight We give
the above statement IA matter ot interest To our
readers and with no other view
Since writing the above, we are informed that the
