The Journal Of this morning says
the bill authorising Rail Road through
the District of Columbia became law,
by its passage in the House of Repre-.
sentatlves yesterday.
The construction of this Rail. Road
will be of great benefit to this District,
in consequence of the increased facilities
which it will afford to the intercourse
between this City and Baltimore. In
effect, i: will bring the two cities with.
in twelve miles of each other, and will
make proportionate reduction in the
price of transportation and freight.
AT present the journey to Baltimore
and back to this City occupies two days.
When the contemplated rail road is
made, we presume the same trip will be
performed, leaving ample time for bu.
siness, in the course of single day.
