THROUGH LINE.
A number Of gentlemen interested in keep
ing up the connection between this place and
Washington city, have entered into arrange
ments which, it is hoped, will accommodate
the travelling public. Il
Messrs Parish, Bowcock and Branch
propose to put lot of new coaches on the
great throug oh liue from the Tomb of Jeffer
son, via Richmond, to Washington. These
conveyanccs are the most complete and the
most sumptuous that have ever run over the
Virginia roads, and the experience Of the Sc
Nor member of the firm in the staging bust
ness is sufficient guarantee that every atten-
ton will be paid to the comfort of passengers.
The mail coach Virginia, driven by Judge
Rives, will make an experimental trip to
Richmond on the first Of August. This SUI
perb vehicle Quilt in Troy, N. Y, and
called BY the stable boys "The Trojan
Horse, ~ has been newly painted, re-hung
and regreased, and supplied with all the
modern improvements. Change horses at
Louisa Courthouse, from which point the
coach will be driven by Mr.. VIM. f, Cor
don with long WHIP.
Tickets may be had Of Mr.. John Wood at
the Albemarle Insurance Office, or of Mr..
W. A. Turner at the office of the James Riv-
er Insurance Company in Howardsville.-
Passengers are not permitted to carry any
baggage except comb, one clean shirt, and
extra bosom.
Inside seats are reserved for old Wings
no oil ho
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 will be under the charge of Mr..
Edward Coles, who will receipt for the same
It having come to the knowledge Of the
company that a man by the name Of Ficklin
threatens to put distractions on the road, all
parties are hereby warned not to couutenance
or harbor him, as the law will be enforced
against him and all bis abettors. Said Flick
lin is dark skinned, heavy man, formerly in
the staging business. Speaks quickly when
addressed, and is pretty good at repartee.
When provoked, swears.
Passengers, on arriving in Richmond,
will report themselves at the Wing Office
and those desiring to proceed to Washington
will be driven by Mr.. Hunnicutt or Mr..
Bolts, according to fancy. Mr.. H s coaches
are on the fast line, and get in sooner, but
Mr.. B s are made commodious and afe-
The dreadful upset which Mr.. H. met with
in 1861, on his trip from Washington to
Secessionyile, S. c., has, however, made
be now regarded as reliable driver. His
/ coaches may be distinguished from MIR.
Botts's by being painted black, while Mr..
Is s are Of lemon color.
Persons desiring to travel by this line are
urged to secure their places at once, as only
limited number Of passengers will be car
RED After the middle Of August only
few distinguished characters will be received,
and the fare will be probably much higher
On reaching Richmond travellers will be
urged to 60 to the Enquirer Office, and get
their tickets to Washington. But this is all
bogus concern kept by nephew Of old Mr..
Ritcbie's, and his coaches do not run beyond
Fredericksburg, and re.extremely slow in
getting to that place. They are lot of old
Confederate ambulances, formerly run be-
tween Richmond and Charlotte, n. c., by
Jeff. Davis, and are levied upon by the Uni
ted States Marshals wherever caught.
Another set of confidence men will be en-
countered in Washington who will endeavor
to persuade passengers to go to the Vallan-
digham House or the Supreme Court; but
these houses have been closed, or are only
frequented by set of Southerners out at
the elbows as the Hungarians and Poles one
meets in London in Leicester Square
The difficulty of obtaining accommodations
in Washington, it is hoped, has been practi-
caEly removed by the arrangements made by
this company Travellers by the lemon col
ored line are directed TO apply at the Hotel
Wilson, large and commodious building on
Pennsylvania Avenue. Those landed in
Washington by Hunnicutt can register at
once at the Stevens Honse on Ham street.
| The journey from here to Washington has
become much more serious affair than it
used to be. The late war has charged the
intervening region Of country with number
of endemic diseases, which renders it perilous
to attempt to GROSS it without certain hygi-
enic precautions Mr.. f. NJ. Wills has a
purge which will be taken by all persons ia
king seats in the coaches of Parish, Bowcock
and Branch, and this can be procured in this
place at the same time that the tickets are
procured at the Albemarle Insurance Office.
The chief ingredients are few grains of the
Sherman Shellabarger bill in solution of
the Neao Nation, with a tablespoonful of
ozeun moarhup the next morning-Dr. Ran
dolph and Colonel Duke recommended this
as being, although severe, pleasant In its eff
fects, if the nose is held when the medicine
is taken.
Mr.. w. M. Keblinger, of the Virginia
House of Delegates, is selling Enquirer
tickets in this place, countersegned 5. +.
Leake, agent; but they are not worth the
pasteboard they are written on, as the Attor-
new for the Commonwealth well knows, and
will say
AS some elderly gentlemen credit the re-
port that the horses Of the company are not
thorough broken John Shelton, Conserva-
tive colored man will ride by the driver, and
act as brakeman, and there is not the small
lest occasion for the slightest anxiety.
1t is not expected that any females Or
clergymen will go over this line during the
