The Straight Shoot"

The generators in the amended chartc'
IF the straight road from this city to Lynch
burr will hold their meeting here mex
Tuesday. We trust they will asscnpie Ii
fbe right spirit to insure the early conpie
,ion of this road, so important to Richmond
and so important to the State in her strus,
gle for the increase of her commerce anu
for building up u very great city in her OWL
territory, which shall become the CONSUMER
OF large part of her agricultural PRODUCES
fpiyipy farmers a market at their own DOORS
and convert her mineral wealth into mar
ketable commodities.
It is of the last importance that trans
,ortation and travel to the largest city IN
Virginia should be made us RAPID as posi-
ble by Strengthening aud shortening the
lines that convey them. Expedition, the
saving of time, is q vital clement OF trade III
this day. Where it is wanting there must De
disadvantage. Seem all sections, amongst all
active and spacious people, how determined
are the efforts TO shorten distance ana saw
time in transportation. We have seen Ihat
an expedicnt has been invented to aVold
stopping trains to take on water. IrouSns
of running water are placed in the centre OF
the track, and hose, with metal nozzle,
is let down into the trough as the tram ines
along, and thus the tank of the tender Is
filed. And see what millions are expended
in making tunnels sometimes TO save snort
distances, as in the case OF the Hoosac tuln-
mel. in massachusetts, which will cost seve-
raj millions.
1t is impossible to look at the measure OF
shortening the distance between TINS city
and Lynchburg and Wythcyille and AblnS-
don and the whole Southwest rs anything
less than of vital Importance.
We are sure the cOrporators fully appre-
ciate this fact. They are wise and patri-
otto gentlemen, many of them deeply inter-
ested in the section of country lying i'll
straight line between Richmond and Lynch
burg. That country will be greatly blessed
by the road. While deeply concerned about
that section they are no less animated by
the more comprehensive advantages OF the
enterprise. We cannot doubt that the
whole body will be inspired with a
zeal commensurate with the undertake
ing, and that they will enter upon their drl-
ties with an energy and spirit that Will De
contagious, and fire up the hearts OF city ana
country people to degree that will insure
thc completion of the work with prompt
ness credtable to the State. When done it
will prove it's great work, and richly reward
