where its great trade Is to be delivered ioi
consumption or shipment seward! Here
indeed, will be great addition to al ths
walks of trade and manufacturing Hi"
the population must increase in proportion
to business. Here the Chesapeake ana
Ohio railroad will, by every reason OF ao-
vantage to itself, permanently fix its termi-
nus. Here is q clty-here is every conVe-
nience for shipment, and for all the puI-
poses Of the vigorous operation OF the foaa.
Here is the place for shops and repairs, ana
the good health, strength, and activity OF
machinists, operatives, and laborers: Here
can be had things necessary which no other
place east of it can supply. Here the CheSa-
peake and Ohio Company desire TO fix
their terminus; and they desire, moreover,
to have the benefit of their great frelghtlns
business from the western to the eastern
terminus of their road. To meet their in
terests and advance their views we here
must be capable Of giving every facility TO
trade and the most liberal accommodation
to the company. These will make all easy,
and fix the friendly relations between the
company and this city.
Already schemes are on foot for westward
connections through Kentucky and Ohio.
We shall have through tickets with the Pa
cific railroad, and privileges equal to those
given other great roads will be secured i'll
good time to the trunk line to this city.
Fully approaching all the advantages OF
grade, distance, and climate which are pos
sessed by the road, MIR. HUNTINGTON has no
doubt whatever that it will soon rank among
the first for freight and become one of the
most popular in the Union for travel. We
may, indeed, look forward to great things
