RICHMOND AND YORK RIVER ROUTE TO THE
SoUTH.-The large steamer State of Virginia, on
the Richmond and York River line, made her
first trip from Baltimore to West Point, Va on
Friday. She is $50 feet long, and fitted up in a
style of magnifceece surprising anything run
ming on the Chesapeake Bay, and equalling in
all respects the famous Sound and North river
boats from New York. The State of Virginia is
commanded by Captain l.. W. Freeman, very
popular and agreeable gentleman who has had
years of experience on the Bay steamers, as
sisted by the clever and amiable James w.
Biddle, clerk. Next week the fast steamer Ad-
miral will be placed on the same line, under the
command of Captain Phil. Reybold, son of
Anthony Reybold, of Delaware City, and his
clerk, Mr.. V. B. Cavender. The Admiral is
being fitted up in the same splendid style as her
consort and the two will supply a want long
felt by the travelling community, under charge
of gentlemen of acknowledged ability and per-
sonal worth. The boats leave No. 80 Light
u, L. M,
the noon train from Philadelphia and arrive in
Richmond at $40 the following morning. By
this route passengers are insured q comfortable
nights rest in wide, new, and clean berths, and
they reach the capital of Virginia early next
day, and it is the only route to the same point
by which the rest is undisturbed. The State of
Virginia was built at Cleveland, Ohio, and ran on
the lakes as the Northerner. In 1862 she was
brought east, and for some time was favorably
known on Long Island Sound. Recently she
has been completely overhauled and received
new engine and boilers from Neafe 81 Levy's
shops of this city, and now is frst-cass in every
particular.
This line is becoming quite popular through
the energy of the general agent Reuben Foster,
Esq, No. 80 Light street. Baltimore, and the
elegant accommodations furnished the travel
ling community. Arrangements are now being
made to extend the Richmond and York River
Railroad from West Point to Chesapeake Bay,
and when the extension is carried out it will
shorten the time from this city to Richmond
via Baltimore to fourteen hours.
