of Ayer's Cht .-rv Pectoral, which I consider peculiarly
to cure diseases of the throat and lungs.
Cares of severe diseases upon the lungs have been
affected by Cherry Pectoral in such extreme cases as
warrant the belief that a remedy has at length been
found that c<iii be depended on to cure the coughs, colds
and consumption, which carry from our midst thou

afflicted can look with confidence for relief, and they
should not fail to avail themselves of it.

few years aso. of a violent attack of something like the
cholera, by taking a large dose of your Anti-Spasmcd
ic Since that time I have frequently witnessed its
good effects in other cases. About six weeks ago I was
sutiering exceedingly from an attack of Third-day
Ague and Fever. It bad been increasing in severity
for nearly a month. I determined to try your Anti-
Spasmodic, and accordingly took a large dose of it just
before the time for the chill. It produced over the
whole system a peculiar sensation of warmth, which
was kept up by repeating the dose once or twice at
intervals o: two hours. Though necessarily exposed
since, I have felt no return of cnilL I feel confident
sa recommending your medicine.
Very sincerely yours,

Dr Du Vai—Dear Sir; I have administered your Fa
nu y Anti-Spasmodic in several violent attacks of
cramp and dysentery. I have applied it externally to
the bjte of a" spider, when there was an enormous en-
Lu gement of tne limb, and intense pain—in all with
perfect success. I have sold a great deal of it in this
netiifaborhuod. and as far as 1 know, it has given univer
sal satisfaction. All wbo have tested it seem to think
it lids no equal as a family medicine. I deem it due t«
say that in most of the instances alluded to above, va
rious remedies were used without effect.

RICHMOND Be DANVILLE RAILROAD!
tCTTER FROM GOVERNOR FLOYD.
Richmond, Feb. 23,1853.
C. 1. Thwmat, J**. Smith, H. C. Redd:
Gentlemen:'Yo(li' letter of the 17th instant
reached me at this plac e > on lan evening; and
I hasten to answer it.
The limits of a letter art 100 confined for a
free discussion of the subject U> which yon are
so obliging as to invite mjr attention; but I will
attempt, nevertheless, to give you some of the
most prominent views thai have influenced me,
for a long time, in advocating the railroad you
propose.
If any one will take tbe trouble to consult
the map of the United Slates, in reference to tbe
proposed connections between the great valleys
of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers on one hand,
and tbe Atlantic seaports from Boston to Sav
annah on the other, he will discover clearly
that a thoroughly organized system of public
works is now almost completed, bv which the
commerce of the whole West ana Southwest
is to be monopolized by Northern cities through
the means of railroads which leave the rlave
holding States whenever and wherever prac
ticable, and take their course through the
Northern and Northwestern States, to their re
spective points of destination. A great many
thousands more are in progress of construc
tion, for the purpose ot taking the products of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, across the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
over free territory, to the great cities of Bos
ton, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore;
and a large poition of both eastern and western
Virginia is at this moment thoroughly identified
with Baltimore in commercial interests as the
county of Anne Arundel, in Maryland itself.
Virginia has as yet done little or nothing to ar
rest this sapping and mining process; and un
less she at once adopt a wise, enlarged and lib
eral policy, and vigorously piosecute it,to con
summation, her best interests must be over
thrown and sacrificed, and her citizens find
themselves tributaries of those over whom they
possess every advantage other than energy and
enterprise.
The geographical position and topographical
features of our State, afford advantages supe
rior to those enjoyed by any other Atlantic
State, for Western connections. Her seaport
is nearer to the centre of the great grain pro
ducing, alluvial basins of the western country,
than those of any other State, and possesses
superior advantages in respect to health, deptb
of water and proximity to tbe ocean. The
great Appelnchian chain, presenting so formi
dable a barrier between tide water and tbe Ohio
river everywhere else, presents really no seri
ous difficulty to the construction of railroads
and canals upon the routes over her territory.
Moieover, the most eligible points at which to
reach the great staple producing regions of the
west, are accessible to her, by the easiest
grades, and the most practicable routes. Rail
roads from any point on her seaboard are prac
ticable to Parkersburg, Point-Pleasant, tbe
mouth of the Guyandotte, Cumberland Gap,
or to Knoxville; and Kentucky with all her
fertility and wealth, is more easily commanded
by a railroad communication through South
west Virginia by Cumberland Gap, to Lexing
ton, and Louisville, than by any propoied or
practicable route from any shipping point in
any other Atlantic State. We have also with
in our reach the magnificent valley of the Ten
nessee river, and may secure to ourselves its
commerce throughout its whole length, from
the village of Blountsville on the east to the
city of Memphis on the banks of the Mississip
pi. If these connections were made they would
open to us a country larger in extent, and richer
in product, than the entire riparian region sur
rounding the northern Lakes and tributary to
New York, and the northern cities. These
facts demonstrate the importance iO Virginia
of at once, a«»d by a bold stroke of policy* se
curing the prompt compretion ofher works.
But it is of the first importance that the lines'
of intercommunication should be put upon the
best locations. All crrtier things being equal,
shortness in distance is of the first moment. —
To effect a connection with Louisville and
Memphis, from Norfolk, Petersburg or Rich
mond, the route you propose is the shortest,
and, I am certain, is preferable over any other.
It derives additional importance from the re
cent favorable action of our Legislature upon
the Cumberland Gap Railroad, which will
leave the Vo. and Tenn. Railroad (of which it
is a near Abingdon, in Washing
ton couaty, but some ten or twenty miles be
yond the Seven Mile Ford in Smyth county,
and but some fifty miles beyond Wytheville,
at one or the other of which latter points yo»r
proposed road would join the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad. It would form astraight
line road with this Cumberland Gap Railroad,
and would with its eastern connections, tra
verse the whole tier of Virginia countie: con
tiguous to the North Carolina and Tennessee
lines, and drai»ibe most fertile and productive
portion of North Carolina, and a portion of
Virginia superior to any other, of equal extent,
in the State. From Norfolk to Cumberland
Gap is four hundred and ninety-five miles; or
by way of Petersburg and Danville, five hun
dred and fifteen miles; from thence to Louis
ville, is abont one hundred and seventy miles,
making a distance from Norfolk to Louisville
of about six hundred and seventy miles, which
could be traversed in 36 or 40 hours. The
grades upon this line would be extremely light
from west to east, or in favor of the heavy ton
cage. Thus it is plain that no other line pos
sesses such advantages asyoars, and that it
would command all the tonnage between those
points which would bear railway transporta
tion. Tbe same observations are true of the
connection, by your road and the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad, from Norfolk to Mem
phis.
These geneial reasons founded upon the re
lations which your road would hold with east
ern and western connections, are alone suffi
cient to induce the country along its proposed
route to urge and liberally aid its construc
tion. But there are other reasons so forcible
to my mind in favor of the enter; rise, that I
must take the space to glance at a few of them.
The Valley of the Roanoke is one of the
most fertile and extensive upon the whole At
lantic slope. It is, by great odds, the best to
bacco region in the United States. Its contri
butions of that staple give character for tbe
aaost par. to the Richmond inspections. This
staple, and that of cotton, make the most lucra
tive articles of railroad freight; being suscep
tible of transportation over longer distances at
higher rates than any other agricultural pro
duction, probably of the world. It is this fact
in regard to cotton, which has maintained the
finances of Georgia railroads in so astonishing
a manner. It is this fact which will produce
the same result for all Virginia railroads which
shall obtain the transportation of cotton. To
bacco is fully as valuable an article of railroad
freight as cotton, and experience will show
that railroads, penetrating any great producing
region of that staple, will have a financial his
tory as flattering as those of Georgia.
For the want of aumcient facilities of trans
portation, your fine Roanoke valley has never
produced one-fourth the quantity of tobacco
which it might produce. The Danville road,
destined to be on of the most prosperous and
useful in the State, will do au«li to stimulate
PRICE QNg CENT
this production; but your proposed eilemion
of its line to the monntaioa and beyond, will
stimulate the cultivation of the plant to fee
fullest extent up to the very basis of tba moon
tains. The advantages of this mult to thv
State are obvious. The trade of the P~T n rTlrrr
valley alone, if properly developed, would
maintain a city as large as all the cities of Vir
ginia combined. The tobacco trade fiMk
causes now at work, will cootinue to
in extent and value. The use and consnmo
lon of the plant are daily becoming more re
neral over the earth, and the demand can

mention its effect upon tbe busineaTaii

not prove profitable itself, itsj" me n" " h °°!£
butions of trade to that Road would matoto
whole investment one of the best in
I speak, however, of other sources of revenue
for the work itself. The live stock of K«
tucky intended for the Southern markka
would pass over this line from Cumberland
Gap to Dapvtile r there to be distributed to it»
various points of destination. The soil of
your country, excellently adapted to the
growth of tobacco, and tbe eereals, have hen*,
tofore lacked the ingredients favorable to grass.
I his ingredient will be supplied to it from the
inexhaustible gypsum beds of Washington and
Smyth counties, over this proposed road, at •
price scarcely one half its present cost in Rich
mond; and of a quality superior to that of the
best Nova Scotia plaister. Your road would
also be of immense service to Southwestern
Virginia in opening an immense market to our
plaister, salt, lead and iron, in affording our
farmers the benefit of two lines of railway
transit to market and in preventing the mono
poly which too often arises where one corpo
ration has the exclusive regulation of the busi
ness of a country.
.I' ' a obvious from these hastily expressed
views, that all the local and agricultural in
terests of the great country, stretching from
Cumberland Gap to Norfolk, would be rapidly
developed, and powerfully stimulated by vour
line of road, and it is equally clear that its ef
fect would be 10 force into existence a city of
large commercial importance at Norfolk and
rora nouth.
To rescue our Commonwealth, however, from
her present commercial subjection to the North, it
is a'so essential to establish a direct trade and com
munication with the ports of Europe. The advan
tages resulting would be incalculable. The pro
duct! of our country would bring to us an increaa
ed remuneration equal to tfee >t ui
freight which Northern factors and carriers now
make in transacting our business with ioreijrn na
tions. The wealth which Virginia eom«iercs >q*
centers upon Northern cities, would be retained te
augment uur capital and population, to increase
our tax paying property, to diversify the occupa
tions of our people, anu to add to the wealth, re
finement and political strength of our Cants
wealth. The time ia propitious for embarHag ift
this vital undertaking, money ia mora afiuoaaac
than it ever was before known to be. Our State
credit haa raised to an exalted nminenca and ia
planted upon a firm basis. Her .facilities for bor
rowing money upon easy terms are greater than at
any previous period of our history.
A bold, wise and liberal policy now adopted bT
the Legislature, would enhance the value of prop
ertj in the State in a ratio far bejond iny po3*ibte
increase in the ratio of taxation that could be in
duced by the most lavish appropriation. The wio»
economy of large expenditures upon important
works is a lesson difficult to be learned by those a
trusted with the destinies of the Commonwealth
Our rulers would be bolder and their rule far mora
efficient, I venture to assert, if they would re
member that popular condemnatioß is of much
rarer occurrence than popular contempt; and
neither is ever vidted upon those whose action haa
been manly and honeat, even though experience
prove it to have been mistaken.
I have the honor to be, gent^nen,
Very r^lpictftlr,
Vour obedient servant.
