The baltimoreans seem to be really
in earnest in the plan of making Rail
road from the Monumental city to the
City OF Washington. - They have appli-
ed to Congress to allow them to make
that part of il within the limits Of the
District, on terms correspondent with
those on which it is to be made within
the State Of Maryland. A bill for that
purpose has passed the Senate. and has
been ordered to third reading in the
Housed t representatives. The charge
on the transportation of all goods, pro-
duce, SC is not to exceed cert a ton
per mile for toll; and three cents ton
Tor transportation; and for the transpor.

to exceed three cents per mile. This
important project, il carried into effect,

tween this city and Baltimore. The dis
lance will then be travelled in about

course, man who is willing to amuse

times in day from the one city to the
other; and, in regardto business, il will
be more amusement for a Washington
ian to go to Baltimore in the morning
and arrive at home in the evening with
whole cargo. even of the most bulky
articles which enter into commercial
transactions. What contrast will not

when the mail stage would have left
Baltimore before day light lin the Win

night! La fact, II was often the case
after wet thawing weather that the stage
did not arrive here until he day follow

day.
