Hut it is coiiteuded that it is the great West vve are
to look to. Whit can we get from the great \\ est? It
is true that we have been in the habit of taking a few
hog*, and homes; but these it is the irue interest ol lie
people ol Virginia to rai-e f.r tf einselves. W •• might
gei a few hogsheads of lohu m from Kanawha and Ken*
tuckv; hut does any one believe we should ever get a
barrel of fl nir *r a hale of m inp from Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana or Missouri? Thu.-e articles arc always worth
more in the Northern markets than they are in Rich
mond; ai I can any one reasonably expect, with tin* vast
advantages ol the Northern lines of improvement, that
produce <<r goods of any kind could he sent hy ibis mute
to Hal.mi re, Fhlladelphia, New \ *rk or Huston, at less
cost than they could hy those great thorough fires? And
yet this musi be done, or we cannot get the trade; lor
those are the coil-inning mdikcls lor a large amount of
the Western products.
Hut it is said these routes are interrupted hy ice and
low water. True; hut il I have been correctly informed,
when boats can ascend the Ohio to the mouth of the
Kanawha, they can to go to Wneelng ; and as to
ice, I will venture to say, tbit, when tin* Ohio river is
closed hclovv \\ heeling, a canal through the mountains
ot Virginia, on ihai route, would be found in the same
condition.
My ow n opinion is, that n rate of toll on a Canil, from
Lyi.ehburg to the Ohio river, sufficient only to keep the
wok in it pair, could not draw the trade from I ho great
Northern lines. It these, views hi* correct, and I cannot
k* lieve they arc far wrong, what could Richmond, what
could Virg mia ex pec*, from such an iiiiproveincui? No
thing hut an endless tax to the .Slate, without any thing
like an equivalent lor if. Q.
(f>- The foregi ing strong and sensible article conden
ses the whole aiguuient on tin* subject of the Kanawha
improvement in a nui-.-hell. In publishing ii we lake
occasion to remark t»* the Richmond l imes, that vve
have not been deterred from an attempt to answer its re
mit elaborate arm ies on this question hy any appreheiis
sion that we should .»e unable to sustain our position,
whieli it assails by such incessant bread sides ol artillery,
out we have really thought it unnecessary to continue a
discus-nn in which so much is left to the imagination,
and so small a portion ol the argument is based upon cer
tainties, or even upon probabilities. We agree with
that paper entirely in the proposition that the cost ot
transportation is materially dependent upon the amount
of tonnage that it ay I e thrown upon a road or canal :
but tin* point ol dill* rence between us is as to the fact
w In tin r, by the con pit mm ol the canal to the Ohio riv
er, the tonnage upon the line xrouhl lie so increased as to
i lead to such a reduction ns it anticipates ? I’or i xam
| pie, how can the intelligent editors of the Tunes for a
i moment believe that a barrel «d flour can be carried from
kanaw lia lo ilicliinoiul lur 50 wills a barrel, when ii now
costs cents and a fraction to carry a barrel from Lynch
burg to liteliniond, only about one-lhitd of the distance?
'I he supposition, (we say it with all pussiblo respect for
mir colt n.purify.) is absurd. Snell an es'imale of cost
might have “passed muster” five yiars ago, hut since
that time experience has shown tile utter deeeptiveneas
of all sueli expectations.
\\ e differ w illi the Tunes, ton, most widely, in its an
tieipalims ol increased tonnage upon the hue of Improve
ment between Lynchburg and the Ohio. Upon what
'facts these anticipations are based, although so confi
dently siaied, does not appear, lias the tonnage been
increased between lliebinonu and Lynchburg since the
i opening uf the canal ? No. And yet was not ail im
mense increase of irade as confidently predicted, as the
const ipiente of i pi i.iig that | art ol the line, as a similar
increase is now foretold as the necessary effect of its exs
tensiiii ? Lookback to the assurances of the splendid
result* which were immediately to follow the cicntiletion
ol the canal to this p'aee, and contrast it with the mea
gre reality—and we have a luresha tow mg of what we
may expect fmtn the farther progress uf a work, which,
w Imtever may he said of the wtadoni of ill ise, w ho, hall
a century .ago, before the application of steam to purpo.
ses ol transportation, projected it, will, if completed, he
a standing monument of the lolly of their successors,w ho,
under such widely different cirriitiistiiiieesr insist upon
ns consummation. Nay, we may safely assume that
as the work progresses west ward ly, its fatlute to realize
the purposes and promises uf its friends will be even
more signally illustrated limn heretofore; for if, up. n any
portion 11 the line, an aiig uenlalin i of tonnage might
have III en confidently expected, it is precisely upon that
part which has been completed, and upon wbicb, never
theless, there lias been no such increase. And if the
leitile James Itivcr valley has furnished no adJitiun to
the trade ol the canal, we a-k, how can an augmenta
tion ef tonnage lie reasonably expected, w hen the canal,
leaving lint productive region, shall lie embosomed in
thewtsiern mountains, and penetrate a comparatively
sterile and sparsely set tied section of the >iale ? Much
■ is said, we know, ol the vast mineral resources of Bole
j toitrl, Koi kbridge, Alleghany, ike. But is not the av
i enue to market now open to those minerals, by the way
j ol the river—and H the sluices he improved So as lo a Ik
Iordan ample depth of water at all seasons, and the
mountain canal be rebuilt sons to afford a safe naviga
tion through that section, what is to prevent as folia
di velopmenl of those resuiirci s as if the canal were cun
ph sed to l uvingiun ? Will It be said that greater
cheapness <;/’ tniuspnrtnlinn would he the Consequence of
its.completion, and tiiat this will invite additional labor
to that department ol Industry? But that is a suining in
be true, w bat we, on the authority uf past experience, as
well as ol reasonable estimates, deny. Make the canal
to hochnuafi, or to Covnioton, at an expense of from one
1,1 h1-u millions ot dollars, and the amount necessary to
ho raised to pay the interest upon that sum and to keep
the works i i repair, will require a rale ol tolls that will
burden transportation with vrsily heavier eliarges than
it is new subjected to, or than will be imposed upon n if
Ihe improvement we recommend be adopvd. This
conclusion is inevitable Irom the data furnished by the
idlieml returns uf I lie ascending and descending trade
, through the Ulue Ridge canal before that work was lies
'toyed, be which may he found in the Reports of the II lard
ol Public Works and in those ul the James River ami
Kanawha company. Increase that trade live-fold; and still
Ihe receipts would fall far ehurtuf the expenditures, even
w ilh the present rales of toll. Upon what, basis, then,
IS the idea of cheapened transportation ... . Our
decided impression is, that it the canal wa re this dsv

gauizing Society upon a new basis. Wliat ties new
basis is we l.ave never taken the trouble accurately in
investigate. One of its first principles, however, ««
believe, is a Community of goods, w hereby the distiw

Other Is to discard the Bible, |.y which all religious dl
visions and discorda are to be terminated. There srs
