The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1867-07-10
Through Zine.

A number OF gentlemen, interested In
keeping up the connection between this
place and Washington City, have entered
into arrangements which it is hoped
will accommodate the travelling public
Nlessrs Parish, Bowcock, and Branch
propose to put a lot CT new coaches
on the great through line from the
Tomb Of Jefferson, via. Richmond, to
| Washington. These conyeyances are the
most complete and the most sumptuous
that have ever run over the Virginia roads,
and the experience Of the senior mem
Der Of the firm in the staging business
is sufficient guarantee that every atten-
ton viii be paid to the comfort of pas
sengers
The mail coach, Virginia. driven by
Judge isives, will make an experimental
trip to Richmond on the first Of August.
This superb vehicle (bu;lt in Troy, n
T., and called by the stable boys .'Ibe
Trojan Iorse'') has been newly painted,
rc-hung, and re creased, and supplied with
all the modern improvements. Change
horses at Louisa G. L., from which point
the coach will be driven by Nh VIM. T.
Gordon with long whip.
Tickets may be had Of Mr. John Wood
at the Abemarie Insurance Office CT of
Mr.. w. A. Turner at the office Of the
james River Insurance Company in How
ardsYillo. Passengers are nat permitted
to carry any baggage. except comb, enc
clean shirt. and extra bosom.
/ Inside seats are reserved for old Wings
who remained conservative all tie time
Breckenridge Democrats and Secessionists
will be required to ride on top Or in the
boot, and to get down and walk up steep
grades.
All baggage viii be under the charge
Of Mr. Edward Coles, who viii receipt
for the same.
It having come to the knowledge Of the
company that man by the name Of Flick
lin threatens to pat distractions on the
road, all parties are hereby warned not to
countenance or harbor him, as the law will
be enforced against him ard all his abet-
tors. Said Ficklin Isl dark skinned heavy
man, formerly il the staging business.
Speaks quickly when addressed, and is
pretty good at a repartee. When provok
ed, swears.
PASSENGERS, on arriving in Richmond,
willreport themselves at the Wig office J;
and those desiring to proceed to Washing
ton will be driven by Mr. Hunnicutt or
Mr. Bolts, according to fancy. Mr. Il s
coaches arc on the fast line, and get in
sooner, but Mr.. BIS are more commodi-
GUS and safe. The dreadful upset which
Mr.. II. met with in 1861, on his trip from
Washington to Scccssionyillc, S. G., has,
however, made him more cautious, and we
believe he may now be regarded as a re
liable driver. His coaches may be distin-
guished from Mr.. Bolts, by being paint
ed black, while Mr.. 3. S are Of lemon
color.
Persons dcsiring to travel by this line
are urged to secure their places at once, as
only limited number OF passengers will
be carried After the middle Of August
only few distinguished characters will
be received, aud the fare will be probably
much higher.
The difficulty Of Obtaining aoe0mmoda-
tioDs in Washington, it is hoped, has been
practically removed by the arrangements
made by this company. Travellers by the
lemon oolored line are directed to apply at
the Hotel Wilson, large and eonmodious
building Oh Pennsylvania Avenue. Those
landed in Washington by Hfr. IIannicutt
can register atoace It TIC Stevens House,
On Ham Street.
The journey from here to Washington
has bec2me much more serious affair than
it used to be- The late war has charged
the intervening region Of country with a
number Of endemic diseases, which rend-
crs it nerilous to attempt to cross it with
out certain hygienic precautions. Mr. T.
~ Wills has purge which will be taken
BY all persons taking seats in the coaches
Of Far;sh, Bowcock, and Branch, and this
can be procured in this place at the same
time that the tickets arc procured at the
Abcmarle Insurance Office. The chief
ingredients are few grains Of the Sher-
man Shellabargcr bill in a solution of the
Ne,g Nation, with q table spoonful Of ozcam
mo57lna the next morning. Dir. Ran
dolph and Col Duke recommend this as
being, although severe, pleasant in its ef-
fects, if the nose IS held when the medi-
cine is taken.
On reaching Richmond travellers will
be urged to go the Lnqni1'cr ofice, and
get their tickets to Washington. But this
is all a bogus concern kept By nephew
! Of old Mr. Ritchies. aud his coaches do
not run beyond Fredericksburg, and are
extremely slow in getting to that plaA
They arc lot Of old Confederate ambu-
lances, formerly run between Richmond
and Charlotte, N. G., by jeff Davis, and
are levied upon by the United States Mar
shals where ever caught.
Another set Of confidence men will be
encountered in Washington who will en-
deavor to persuade passengers to go to the
Vallandieham House or the Supreme
Court but these houses have been closed.
or are only frequented by set Of South
erners as out at the elbows as the Hun
garans and Poles one meets inLondon in
Leicester Square.
MI. W. NJ. Keblinger, Of the Virginia
House of Delegates, is selling Enquirer
tickets in this place, counter signed S. T.
Leake, agent; bnt they are not worth the
pastcboard they are written on, as the
Attorney for the Commonwealth well
