| The amount of freight passing
over our is enormous; so large, in fact, that it has been found
impracticable to forward all that reaches this city from the South and
West by railroad {by
the Virginia & Tennessee RR} to Richmond and other points
of destination. A large portion is being daily shipped by the James
River and Kanawha Canal. |
