The Location,

The location for u union depot suggested
by this paper commends itself more and more
as it is examined. Ii we look at the valley
we see broad and low ravine, bordercd on
the east and west by steep hills, and running
far back northwardly ut grade already
suited to the railroad. 1t VIII never proba-
bly, be crossed by much-traveled street eN-
Cept Broad street, which can be readily
arched for the passage of trains under it.
Should at any time any street or road much
travelled cross that valley near or within the
city limits, it will be the easiest matter to
pass the railway track under it.
This deep and broad ravine approaches the
city in its centre and strikes Franklin street
where 1t Is accessible from all points at short
distances and by easy grades, and, withal, it
is convenient to Manchester, and may be
reached from that town on almost level. Its
bed is upon the proper level for tunnelling,
which is important in view of the prospective
resort to tunnels us the best mode of bring
ing railroads into the heart of the city with
out disturbing the surface commerce. No
other site can possibly compare with it. A
depot there for all the roads would afford
them the greatest convenience, and secure to
the public facility, certainty, and security in
their going and coming and passing through.
In the nature of the topography Of the
city, and from the necessary adherence of
commerce to the river, there could be no pos
sibility Of better locality for union depot
at any future day. -..
One important point gained in such loca-
ton Is the centralizing of the social COM
merce and the giving it the full weight of its
numbers and circumstance, thus imparting a
proper degree of activity and animation to
the life Of the city. Not only would there
be this advantage In the concentration of
railroad travel, but the depot would be so
tavorably disposed for intelligent and easy
connection with the travel by water. And
this last is quite worthy of consideration.
Wheel the city grows apace, and the lower
James River country is divided into smaller
estates and becomes more densely populated,
there will be large river travel by steam
boats. This travel will be facilitated By the
location Of the depot on Franklin street.
OF course facilities for travel increase travel,
and increased travel swelis the volume of
trade. II is a good thing for city for the
traveller to think well Of it. No traveller has
kind feeling for a city which imposes any in
convenience or delay upon him IN passing
through 1t. A kind feeling may induce him
to stop, but the recollection of grievance
received will always hurry him through the
city that caused 1t. Erie, in Pennsylvania,
once forced passengers to change cars
and submit TO a portage that was
most annoying. When the railways
attempted to make a Junction In the
city, tie people Of Erie tore up the rails and
fought against the connection for some time.
They were defeated; and now, some years
after this event, people hate Eric for her bar.

We thank the worthy trustees of Manchcs-
ter for tile compliment they have paid the
Dispatch in naming one of their streets after
the senior editor of that paper. We trust
they may never have to regret it, but it is
perilous to name a child or anything after a
living man. To make things even, it might
have been well to name street after our
friend Captain WHlTLoCK, Of the old ealiot
Inexpcdcnt," who will yet land his vessel
on the Manchester side Of the river. .u
