Even though most Virginians view Reconstruction as finished, this railroad war that shows power struggles between the North and the South post-unification. The Pennsylvania company wants to control the road between Richmond and Washington, which would create great profits for the Virginia company in Richmond if they had control over it. The disagreement was taken to court, where The Fredericksburg, Richmond and Potomac Company was given rights to build the rail from Alexandria to Richmond. Although this was a victorious motion for Virginia, it created further resentment against the North and further feelings of feeling controlled.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound There is little or nothing doing here, owing to the fact that dealers have recently discouraged shipments until the markets in Virginia become more settled. The latest advices from Richmond'represent the price of wrappers as very high, although the quality of the leaf received is A 1. As the figures now ruling are evidently caused by the temporary scarcity, which is due to the unfavorable'weather that has recently prevailed, it is'evidently the part of wisdom to wait until'a milder temperature shall increase the receipts at the " breaks " before buying. From present appearances the next few'weeks should witness the marketing of a'large portion of the 1870 yield, and when'this has been accomplished, the tendency of'prices during the season can be more readily determined. We may note the fact that'many good judges predict quite low figures'when the lull extent of the crop is known.'This opinion is based on the general abundance'of leaf throughout the country, and'especially on the western "breaks" but'our own belief is that the best Virginia will be in such extensive demand that good prices will always be obtainable. Of course,'however, there will necessarily be large concessions from present famine figures, URL http://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=DD18710225&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------# Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
