   To Merchants of Richmond. All merchants receiving freight from the South, which is shipped from Petersburg to Richmond by Virginia Towing Company Lighters, are notified that the freights and charges must be paid before the goods are taken from the depot in Petersburg. All claims for damages or overcharges must he made before the goods are shipped from Petersburg, and unless goods are taken from the depot in 48 hours after being unloaded, they will be stored at the expense of the owner. Unless otherwise ordered, goods will be shipped either by railroad or lighters, as the agents may think most expeditious.
