to contend against distIleries, the money OF

WEST POINT AND RICHMOND.
The memorial which General Johnston
bid before the House asking that West
Point be added to the Richmond customs
district was signed by a large number OF
Influential citizens, and meets the approval
oi all who know anything about the adyan-
ages which will result from the proposed
change. II is endorsed by your Chamber
)f Commerce, and | hear that some Of your
merchants are coming to Washington to Sc
,Ond the efforts Of General Johnston. The
proposition is OF great importance to Rich
nond, and meets The hearty approval of its
collector and other revenue officers.
