Rail Road TO Uashiagion.-A project for
connecting the Baltimore and Ohio Rai' Road
with the city Of Washington by lateral Kan
Road, has been agita'ed for some days past. IL
is thought by many of our citizens. who have'
we presume, taken the necessary means tor IN
forming themselves as to the prachcableness and
want of such road, that the privilege confer
red BY the charter of the Rail Road Company OF
constructing lateral rail ways. may be used IN
this instance with profit. With advantage to the
principal line of the road; and certainly with
benefit To the general intercourse of the country
II is stated that the requisite funds may be Dor
rowcd at five percent, and Oh no other security
to the lenders than the pledge OF the road Tor the
pay ment of the sums lent. In regard. therefore:
to the funds 10 be applied, the construction OF
this lateral road may be considered as an lHne-
pendent project. in no wise interfering with tie
stock provided for the continuation and compile
ton Of the main line. Viewed subsidiary to
to the principal project. it comes properly Within
the consideration and superintendent of the Di-
rectcrs of the latter If the scheme can be de-
monstrated to be feas IDLE and profitable, neither
funds nor labor will be wanting to complete it Ill
a very short period The surveys heretofore un-
dertaken with a view TO the construction OF ca
nal between the two cities. prove that no natural
obstacles interpose themselves to the design.

SMsBuRy COPPER MINE.-lt seems that this
dismal cavern, which has been so long a terror to
evil doors, and a sinking concern to the State oil
Connecticut, is now expected to be converted to
a valuable purpose. We understand that COM
panv of gentlemen in the city of New-York, have
purchased the mine of the State, and have procn mr.
ed two skilful miners from Ensla land to examine it;
who have given it as their opinion that it contains
a rich and extensive bed of copper ore. which
will yield 81 per cent. Such is the confidence
of other Judges in the wealth of the mine, that
the purchasers have had several offers for their
bargain. The company intend to employ capt.
tai of $4,000 in smelling works. etc. upon the
spot. 1t is an old legend in Hartford. that when
this mine was first discovered. many years since,
equally high expectations were entertainments to It's
products: and that quantity OF the ore was
brought to Hartford and pu' into boat. TO trans
port 1t to some smelling works. The next MORN
ing, the buat and ore were missing, and no trace
of either could then or has since been found.
1t was supposed the boat must have been taken
into the river by some unknown persons, and sunk.
For this reason, or some other, the project OF
working the mine for copper. was abandoned.
