The war between the chief plunderers
Who have 80 long held possession of New

We rejoice in the contest that threatens to

hotter and fiercef, until honest men are
afforded all the material they want for the
exposure, punishment, and disgrace of cor
rupt officials.

genius which we must attribute to longer

MATTAPoNI AND PAMUNKEY STEAM
NAVIGATION NCOMPANY.-We have alrea-
dy referred several times to the organiza-
tion OF this company, and have congratu-
lated the farmers living along the Malta
POM, that the company had already secured
suitable vessel to ply between Dunkirls
and West Point but we have a duty to
perform to our city, which we do most
cheerfully.
Although sufficient amount of stock
has been subscribed to purchase q steamer
the company want money to make the de-
ferred payments, and have appointed Mr..
John l.. Slaughter, of this city, agent. to
solicit subscriptions and sell the remaining
stock of the company.
Those wishing to contribute their means
to aid in building up and increasing the
trade of Richmond, may consult Mr..
Slaughter at the office of VIM. Wallace
Sons. One of the members of this firm is
we believe, treasurer of the company,
Mr.. Slaughter will cheerfully furnish all
necessary information concerning the terms
of subscription and the prospects of the
company he represents.
This enterprise is an important one to
Richmond, because nearly the whole of the
trade OF that productive region will pour
in upon us here. A number of our largest
and ablest business firms have already
taken so much of the stock of the COM
pany, as will give them the power to say,
to what point the trade of the Mattaponi
counties shall go.
The tariff of prices of freight and passen-
ger rates has already been fixed so as to
give Richmond the benefit of the lowest
figures. Every bushel of wheat grown in
that section must come here, because diff
ference of three cents bushel has b7el |
made in the cost of shipment of this GER /
in favor of this point as against Baltimore /:
and as ours has been conceded to be a BET
ter wheat market than the latter city, we
have no doubt every bushel of wheat grown
along the Mattaponi will find its way here.
Wheat is but an unimportant product COM
paired to the others of that section.
We arc pleased to note the disposition of
our business men to take hold and invite
the trade Of the State to this city, and we
only need little more sagacity and liberal
ty among them to build up here such
trade as will put us in fair competition
with our Northern cities.
We appeal to the business men of Rich
nond to 60 forward and subscribe to the
'est of the stock of this young but promis-
ng enterprise, taking it, and the trade it
will control, from the hands of Baltimore.
where it will go unless secured to us.
Ten dollars will purchase share of stock
n this company, and we think the amount
mall, when compared with the benefits to
'e derived, and the increased prosperity it
will bring to the trade of Richmond.
The officers ofthis company have been cho-
en-, and we feel assured their regulations,
$ first-class business men, will not suffer,
energy and a determination to succeed,
Til save them.
