THE DAILY DISPATCH.
TUESDAY MORNINO, NOVEMBER S9. IIM
YORK RIVER RAILROAD
A friend has put in onrhands a copy of the
Richmond Enquirer of July 19th, which- in
advocating this road, takes occasion to com
bat the common prejudice, that cities to
great, must stand upon the sea shore. °
explode this fallacy, the examples are nun
tioned of Rome, Babylon, Memphis,
IVkin, Calcutta, liondon, Liverpool. i tor
Haven, the finest harbor ot ritain, is
studded only with shipping p<' *"■ P ow j
Edinburgh, Paris. Amsterdam, Bremen, and
in fact all Uie great cities of the Eastern
Hemisphere, which are all inland. In our
own country. Baltimore > s two hundred mile
from the sea ami New Orleans more than a
hundred.
The instances quoted by the Lnquut. .
numerous enough to disprove the fallacy that
cities, to be great, must be situated on the
g ea shore. But in endorsing this opinion, we
must not be understood as changing the views
held by us, when advocating the \ ork River
Railroad Wt winter. We were then and are
still of opinion that the navigsu'OU of the
jJftmes is <?f the greatest importance to the
commercial Interests of Richmond, and is ca_
pable, if proper improvements are made, of
making Richmond one oi the first commer
cial cities of the Union. Whilst others have
anticipated vast benefits to Richmond from
the greater facility of communication which
the York River Railroad will afford between
Richmond and other ports, we regard as one
of its chief advantages the development ot
the resources of that section ot Nirginiaon
the York, Pamnnkey and Mattaponi, a sec
tion whose inexhaustible supply of marl keep*
up perpetual fertility and whose extensive
and varied productions would, by the \ork
River Railroad, be brought to the Richmond
market. We have seen nothing to change
the opinion, so often expressed, that Rich
mond should not abandon the noble river
which lies at her doors, but, on the contrary,
should bend all her energies to deepening
the channel, removing the bars, and thus ren
dering efficient this fine outlet, provided by
Nature, for the vast trade which will be
brought here by her canal and by the four
railroads which converge at this point. The
York River Railroad will not interfere with
this natural avenue of commerce and trade.
It will accommodate a portion ot Virginia
which has been heretofore neglected by the
State, notwithstanding its own liberal contri
butions to the treasury, and whose trade, if
secured to Richmond, will add greatly to the
wealth and prosperity of this city. Some
statistics of interest, which sustain the view
of the subject we have taken, are unavoida
bly deferred till a future number.
THE OYSTER TRADE
A New Haven correspondent of the New
York Jouryial of Commerce, gives some inter
esting facts connected with the oyster trade.
He says that, contrary to the prevailing no
tion, a comparatively small proportion of the
oysters for which that region has considera
ble reputation, are natives there, but are
brought from Chesapeake Bay, in immense
quantities, in the Spring, when they are
planted, to betaken up in the fall. "The op
eration of planting," says the writer, ''is after
this fashion: The oyster vessels, upon their
arrival from the South, are anchored near
the site of the proposed beds, and their car
goes are removed by small boats which come
along side. The beds are formed by staking
off the ground into small lots, or squares, each
of which is spread over with about fifty bush
els, so laid that one shall not be on another.
By fall, the oysters have considerably in
creased in size, and greatly improved in flavor
If allowed to remain too long in the
' the oyster, not being acclimated to northern
winters, periehes with cold ; and if planted
too thick, they smother each other. Without
regard to mutual rights, each one encroaches
upon the peculiar domain of his neighbor
gradually enlarging his residence in whatever
direction pleasure may dictate. In this way,
when oysters remain long undisturbed, the
increase of numbers involves the destruction
of multitudes. Their means of communicating
with the outer world, is closed upon them ba
ttle cementing properties of the newly-formed
shell, and the unfortunate victim is consigned
to starvation."
This adapted Southern oyster, says the
Journal's correspondent, is sent off in every
direction, to all p:irts of the country. "Tliev
are first opened and put in keg*, or cans,
which are afterwards packed in boxes con
taining ice, of a capacity equal to from twelve
to twenty gallons each. The enormous extent
of this trade may be inferred, when it is
known that from 150 to 200 vessels, mostly
schooners, are employed in conveying oys
ters to New Haven, —the cargoes consL-ting
of from 2,000 to 6,000 bushels. The profits,
too, have been highly remunerative, where
ordinary sagacity has been exercised; one
firm having cleared during the last four years,
$75,000 or $100,000. 'Failure'in the oyster
ii scarcely ever known. The business is
chiefly engrossed by about twenty firms, the
largest of whom send off from l.oao to l,.">oo
gallons of oysters per day. The firm of Levi,
Kowe & Co., who have one of the largest es
tablishments, with branch houses in Buffalo.
Cleveland, Detroit, Hamilton, C. W., &c., es
timate that their business this season, will
amount to 150,000 gallons. No less than
twenty vessels we employed by them ; tml
from seventy five to one hundred individuals,
mostly girls ai d boys, find constant employ
ment in taking oysters from the shell, during
six months in the year. These girls often
acquire a wonderful dexterity in their depart
msnt, the several movements required in go
ing through the process being performed with
all the regularity and precision observed in
touching the key* of a piano forte. If set to
music, however, the ear would be grated with
a succession of sounds much like t}iis~"*click,
—gouge,—splash! Click,—gouge,—splash !
he. The t'rst indicates the use of the ham
mer in removing the edges of the shell; the
second, the iaetrtion of the knife ; the third,
the final deposition of the disemboweled ani
mal in a tub, prior t*) packing. Ihe hammer
is thrown down each time it is used, bui the
knife is always retained in the hand. These
'openers' receive as compel)sat.on two cents
a quart, and some of them earn f 3 per day,
though #1 is mora commonly earned. As
there are about 150 oysters to the gallon, the
individual wfro opens 100 quarts, or 25 gal
lens per day, necewarlly opens three thousand
seven hundred and fifty oysters during that
time." " 4
THANKSGIVING DAY.
I According to the N. Y. Journal of Com
! merce, Thursday last was observed as a day
of Thanksgiving by all the New England
States —but Maine, which observed a pre
vious day, and Vermont, which is to observe
Thursday, Dec. —all the middle States,
nil the Western States, and Maryland. North
Carolina. Alabama, Georgia and Florida, of
the Southern States. The seven States that,
bo far as we learn, have no day appointed to
observe, are Virginia, South Carolina, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and
California.
We have no doubt that in time, the custom
will spread and become universal. Wo trust
it may, if it shall prove more than a mere
formality. Certainly no people ever had
more reason for gratitude to the Giver of eve
ry good and perfect gift. It is difficult for
Americans to appreciate the blessings they
enjoy iu the universal plenty \vhi,ch prevails
in this country, the entire exemption from
want, the freedom, both civil aud religious,
which is vvery man s birthright. Th<? yon
Celebration of a Day of Thanksgiving Is 110
proof of indifference or ingratitude among
those States in which it is not observed. The
grand festival of the South is Ch iustmas. and
we hope it will always be retained at the
head of the calendar, and never be thrown
into the shade by any festival of modern in
vention. We do not suppose, because Christ
mas is not generally observed at the North,
that its people are insensible to the grand
event which that day commemorates, and it
would be equally unjust to impute to Southern
States a want of religious gratitude from the
fact that they do not formally and periodical
ly celebrate a day of Thanksgiving. We
should like to see that day celebrated, for it
is right in itself and we need a few more fes
tivals, but never may the crown fall from the
brow of Christmas, the benign and joyous
old King of the Holidays.
Ljr°lt will be seen by reference to our ad
vertising columns, that 11. W. Shekfkt,
Esq., offers for sale some of the most valua
ble property in Staunton. It is said to be a
rare offer to capitalists.
