The Coal Valley Railroad Company has a
charter authorizing il to build branches
= fifty miles long in any direction; and also
to construct railroad from the Ohio river
to st. Adams, which latter is exactly the
railroad that Richmond now needs. This
road; is expected TO continue on towards,
and perhaps 20, Southwest Virginia. The
company owning the charter have their
eyes open, as witness the following extract
from their little pamphlet, going to show
that Richmond may easily have. "a line Of
