Mkishi Eiitobs lour corrcipoud.-nt
askt the favor tu inquire whetlm the
bridge of thu l A W. U. R.. late over the
river near your town, ii stilr where the
vein w ol November placed it. T'z
acrms the bil of the river, nr whether the
same u at tieeii removed by the company.
The last intelligence ou the subject, was
from yaur ppc r, and to the effect that it
would ba replaced in a shoit time, and
travel returned. The motive nl the inquiry
It thia : Many ol our people ate interes'ed
in the navigation ol the Roanoke (mm
gJiMrdi' Perry to Weldon, that is, they
wish to ilip via Weldon to Norlolk or
Ptfteisburn, or direct to Wel,op,. Thii
tbey cannot do, il the aforesaid bridge is
kt ill !yin acroit the channel ol the nver,
and the track of the road washed gway.
The qiestinn then it, if this obstruction
till remains, (and your correspondent lias
been inlormeil that it toc) ought it longer
tliut to rema'n I Can you nut prevail
on somebody to get tiia trouble out ol the
way I Per ho pi we Uiglt gel up a iqiad
ol volunteers Iron) our cule of the river tu
remove it (or our own benefit, but tin:e
the lata Oat of the Federal court, wi are
afraid to lay h 'Id ot auy thing belnngiin
to the Petersburg Ktilro.d. That veiicia

fit Railroad gentility, a receiver? Iiip in
ths bn im ol chancery, an I all person
mutt hands off no iu .re li ni ij i p tj qf en
ginei to the track no. Ultimo you sot
move thu sensitive tout of this proud cor
poration to give us the tree navigation of
iour river? Try it, lor t)p fijod o the
people. Our cropt will iour ha ready to
move. Shall we hp rrquirei) U haul, in
wagons, twenty or thirty rptlet, or make
the slow uncertain voyage ol the Canal,
and be (hut up, that, lo rnarketj or tlull
re enj y the pnviluge at we used to do. ol
pourisg iut.i and through join town, our
rich argosies ol "costly hales?" We shall
sea.
One other favor : Your correspondent
was talking, a lew evening! ago, wj'.J) an
)Kl Hue democrat, about old time, when
nur discourse turned upon former govern
ors and gubernatorial c n!ests. We be',' an
