An Example for Richmond.

lfOT TIE ilSpdiCH.1
The Delaware, Sackawanna and Western
railroad extends from Hoboken, opposite
New York city, to the Wyoming coal fields
at Scranton, distance Of one hundred and
forty.nine miles very expensive road pass
ing through five tunnels, crossing several
SUBMITS, and climbing the Pokono noun
tain at grades from ninety to one hundred
feet per mile, reaching all elevation Of some
sixteen hundred feet above tide. ~
To contemplate the energy, activity, and
enterprise manifested by this Railroad and
Coal Company in getting the product of their
mines to tide.water, the facilities of trans
ferriug from cars to vessels quickly and
cheaply, and the amount Of coal Il 500, 600
tons), and that it is one out of six similar
companies, land then turn attention to our own
city OF Richmond. nearly as fav0rably situ-
ated as Hoboken for shipping, and having
within the distance Of twenty miles or less
a coal.feld capable Of furnishing annually
millions of tons Of gas and steam Goals equal
10 the average placed in market anywhere,
is it not surprising that no more attention
has been given to the development of an
industry that has been so successful in Penn.
sylvanIa and Maryland, and has so increased
the commerce OF New York, Philadelphia,
ana baICltnOTe!
There is something radically wrong In
ignoring the production Of coal from the
Chesterfield district. A canal and railroad
pass through this field, reaching tdewater
of the james: mines have been opened, and
yet nearly every attempt to mine coal has
proved failure, as manifested by the aban.
doned works throughout the region trained
miners and laborers are evidently abundant,
and if not can easily be procured; capital
has been freely expended, but whether ju
diciouSly or not may be a question.
Are not the lands and coal leases held at
rates too high to induce development, and
have not the citizens Of Richmond failed to
provide cheap and expeditions facilities for
the handling and transferring Of coal from
boats and cars to the vessels and even to the
consumers Of the city!
Are not the canal and port charges eXces'
sive for the facilities given, and in q measure
drive trade and commerce to more favorable
parts?
Are proper exertions made to solicit and
build up trade and commerce for the river
canal, and railroads now available to Rich
mond?
The Chamber of Commerce, should take
this matter in baud and investigate it tho
roughly at the earliest practicable moment

JANAUsCBEK To-NIGHT.-Janausch the
queen of tragedy Of the American stage,
commences brief engagement at the Thea
tire to-right, and will appear in the great
histc'ic :, tragedy Earl Of Essex. r..
In the first act, as the play runs, Lord
Burleigh, representing the enemies of the
Earl OF Essex, informs Elizabeth that Essex
has been guilty 9. felony as Ficeroy of Ire
land, and acquaints her with the action of the
Parliament thereupon., Elizabeth draws a
splendid portrait Of Essex, and refuses to be.
lieye him guilty. She dismisses her minis.
tiers, finds comfort in the declaration of
Lady Rutland, who. upon being interroga-
ted, pronources in favor Of the innocence of
Essex, and the close Of the act leaves her
struggling with gave doubts, but resolved
on Justice. In the second act, Essex,
Just returned, is introduced to us as the
gay, manly soldier, unwilling Of the dan
ger that threatens him, and Indifferent
to the warnings that are poured into his ears.
At this juncture We learn that he and Lady
Rutland are man and wife. The scene
changes Elizabeth is stunned by the infor-
nation that Essex is in London. She is in
council with her ministers, and is pressed
and harassed by them, when Essex is an
nounced. Robert 'kneels to the Queen, while
she, refusing him recognition, addresses her
ministers, reciting the charges they have
preferred against Essex, and promising JUS
tice. She retires without appearing to know
that Essex had been in her presence. This
leaves Essex face to face with his accusers,
and affords him splendid scene. In the
beginning of the third act we find Eliza
beth in room in her castle, fairly shut in
from the daylight, and brooding over her
love for Robert and his violation of her
express commands. She has banished
him from the court and robbed him of his
power. In rapid succession she has scenes
with Sir James Rolfe, her confidential attend.
ant. with Lady Rutland, whom she suspects
as chershing love for Essex, and with JON
athan, the old steward of Essex. From
Jonathan she learns accidentally that wo-
man had been conveyed in a Sedan chair
into the Essex house the night before,
whereas she had been Informed that King
James. Of Scotland, was the person who had
been smuggled in. She has ordered Essex
into her presence; her ministers hear of it,
they are beWilderingly clamorous against it,
but he comes, and then follows a terrific
scene in which Elizabeth and Essex are the
principal characters.
But we need not give further outline of
this tragedy. The play-goers Of Richmond
are already familiar with the splendid acting
of this great tragedienne. A treat is in store
for all who may be present.
