sans resort to for the purpose Of support
ing measures that are disastrous to the
nation, and Of reconciling the people to
their bad effects. When the southern
planters directed their industry entirely
to the production of the great southern
staple, they relied upon the Northwest for
al the necessaries Of life. Their lands
would have produced most abundantiy OF
those necessaries; but they considered it
better to concentrate their labor on the
me crop and rely upon the Northwest for
food. But the tax on cotton and the gene
-al oppression and disturbances through
the reconstruction acts have crippled in
dustry and deprived the people of money,
and they are forced to produce themselves
the food they once procured from the
Northwest. This is the state of the case,
and the Journal tries to cover it up and to
persuade the people Of Ohio not to be
misunderstanding them that, first, the
mouths of the South will increase as fast
as its products; and secondly, its wants
cannot be supplied, because the southern
people can't produce corn that they can
live on, no more can they make bacon
which they can eat What nonsense!

Has it ever occurred to the readers of

we're in enforcement of the rules Of gram
mar on one page, and not quite enough so
on another ?"-RiChmond letter in Lynch
burg Ne,os.
The above question affords us the OPP
portunity Of saying that there are "many
men Of many minds" employed in writing
for the Dispatch; that many articles ap-
pear in the paper which the editors, of
course, do not even see, much less read,
any sooner than the "rest of mankind -;
that, of course, they do not read the proof
sheets of local or news items, or of commu-
nications; and, finally, and above all, that
we do not think it best to make all our
correspondents write in our style, since
their own may be fresher and better. An
editor who trims up too closely whatever
he publishes is very apt to have an intolle-
rable sameness, not to say dizziness, all
over his paper.

The Subscription New Limits.
If there is any part of the city more
than another where there should be .
unanimous vote in behalf Of the subscrip
ton to the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
1t is the portion commonly styled tn.
"new limits"-the territory lately included
within the corporate boundary. It's citizens
have wider margin for profit than any other
real estate owners in the city. They
bought by the acre in many instances, and
will now sell by the foot. All the real
estate within the territory was bought at
low rates, under the circumstances OF
being in the county, outside of the cor
poration, unprotected by proper police,
liable TO raids Of lawlcss persons from the
city, and denied the Improvements which
are peculiar to cities, and whose effects
are so beneficial to the people and SO much
enhance the value of property. The pros
pcrity and increase to flow from the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad of course
will spread out the population and extend
the improvcments-the streets, the horse
cars, the water, the lights, the grading,
and the pavements. And the suburbs will
reap profit largely exceeding in per cent
on investment that which can be derived
by the proprietors Of the most valuable
real estate in Richmond.
This is very clear. Stated in few
words, our new citizens will gain more on
a smaller investment than any other por-
ton of the community, as the result OF
the construction Of this great work. Let
rs hope that our friends will take cor
rect view Of their interests, and give a
wise vote at the coming election. AS
Richmond is about to give decision at
most critical period of her history, affect
ing in a vital manner her general interests,
We should be proud to see our new citi-
zens enrolling themselves as the advocates
Of improvcmcnt-givng their votes for
the resurrection Of Richmond and the
making her a great city. Let them do
this, and we may regard them, indeed, as
on acquisition.

INGENIOUS New York World ar
CUES that inasmuch as the reconstruction
acts do not provide for the diSfranchise-
ment or disqualification Of the persons
proposed to be excluded from Office by the
constitutional amendment, but only of
those who are so excluded, and as no
person is yet excluded by that amend
ment, for the very good reason that it has
not been ratified, therefore no person in
the South can rightfully be excluded
either from the polls or from office. The
logic is good enough; but, then, the facts
do not agree with it.

The LYSCHBURG REpUBLICAN.-We trust
it is not necessary for us to assure our
friend of the Lynchburg Republican that
we did not see its denial of tho report in
regard to it's sale which we copied from
the Marion Record, or we should have re-
produced the same. The Republican con-
tanning the denial failed, we presume, to
reach US. We gave the paragraph from
the hs,a~d as an interesting item of news,
supposipg it 10 DO possible that the Re
publican was to change hands, but never
for a moment that the editor in
tended to become Radical. 1t gives us
pleasure to add that the Republican pro-
nounces the rumor unqualifedly false.

The Danyille Railroad.

We have the following letter from the
President of the Danville railroad deny
ing the allegations Of NJ" in the Dis.
patch of yesterday. That railroad is SC
much identified with Richmond in every
way that we have always regarded it as
fast friend. 1t is gratifying to be assured
by the President that the idea that some
charges made for freights upon it were, by
contrast, injurious to this city, is un-
founded. We know that that gentleman
would submit to nothing which he could
avoid that tended to the injury of his own
llow-citizens:
RICHMOND AND DAsvILLs RAILROAD CoMPAsY,)
PRESIDENTS OFFICE,
RICHMOND, Va, September IL, 1857.
To the Editors OF the Richmond Dispatch:
Your correspondent NJ, in this morn
ing's issue, under misapprehension of the
facts doubtless, has done a gross injustice
to the management Of this company. He
complains of discrimination against Rich
mond, and inquiries "why it costs more
per 100 pounds from here to South Boston
depot than it does from Baltimore The
answer is, that the fact is otherwise; just
exactly the reverse ; and every business
man in Richmond has the fullest opportu-
uity to know it on proper inquiry.
The Baltimore business to South Bos-
ton, as elsewhere on the line, pays the full
additional charges between Baltimore and
Richmond. Indeed, the incidental dis
elimination on such freights has been given
to Richmond, not against it. M and all
the other letters in the alphabet will be
chccrfully furnished with the evidence at
The Office Of the company.
In respect to prepaid freights, the rate
is the same as that used on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, the Virginia Central
railroad, and, as far as | am informed, all
other we!l-managcd roads, more or less
modified according to circumstances
viz, charges follow to tirst-class stations
to way-stations prepayment is required.
The necessity Of this. rule, especially un-
der the present condition Of the roads and
country, is apparent to every railroad
manager.
1t is difficult to meet at once, and with
out some apparent grounds Of complaint,
all the exacting demands of an impoverish-
ed people and an impoverished company.
Regard for all interests require some pa
tent forbearance from each. Under pc
culiar and unexampled pressure we have
endeavored to serve the interests Of pa
irons as far as practicable without sacr-
fcing those of the company that are vital
and paramount. But whatever other sins
may be charged to us, the imputation OF
discriminating against Richmond is not de-
served. The facts will prove it, and they
are accessible to all.
Very respectfully,
A. S. BuFoRD, President.

CITY Railways-The Vicinity.

We observed that, a few days since,
several cuterprising gentlemen had pro-
cured charter for railway from Rich
mond TO some point west Of the city called
Weston. We learn that it is proposed to
connect this road with the city road mile
and half from the city. Al the western
terminus Of the road there will be town
called Weston. The project is altogether
feasible, and will no doubt reward those
who will carry it into operation. The land
in the route they have taken is good !; lies
admirably for improvement and is finely
adapted to residences for persons engaged
in business in Richmond.
The Brook road offers another route for
the employment of the railway. The
country is level, and track could be laid
very cheaply. The land on both sides of
the road is rapidly improving under ju-
dicous and Industrious cultivation. No
man can pass along the Brook road with
out feeling convinced that, notwithstand-
ing our mistortunes and the state of trade,
Richmond and it's vicinity are improving.
The same language that we have en-
ployed here in speaking of the Brook will
apply as Justly to the Mechanicsville turn
pike, which presents to-day the appear
ance Of greater animation than at any
former period. There are numerous small
farms upon this road, and they seem to be
tlourshipg. Their tillcrs are cultivating
closely, and improving them rapidly.
With the signs before us, it is plain that
in few years we shall have region of fine
and prosperous farms and gardens about
Richmond that will add much to the wealth
of the locality dad greatly enhance the
beauty and pleasure or drives through the
suburbs.
me local horse railways prU..ise to
obliterate that district formerly known a.
commons" and which, like one of Sa
turns rings, in other times surrounded
large towns. The easy access to and from
the suburbs by the railway converts them
into beautiful residences and gardens, and
thus largely increases the means Of sub.
sistcnce and comfort while it promotes the
economy of living for the population. Lei
us encourage the local railways; they
will do much to promote the growth Of the
citv
