SOUTHERN AND WESTERN TRAVEL
Much of the travel from the Valley
Of Virginia 10 the Seat Of Government
of that State has been going by the
! Chesapeake aud Ohio Canal to Wash
ington. A person could leave Har-
pers.Fcrrv or even Shepherdslown in
the morning. reach Washington in the
evening. and Immediately take the
steamboat To Potomac Creek. whence
the regular Stage and Rail Road line
would convey the N 20 Richmond by
the middle IT the next day. making the
trip from Harpers-Feuy to Richmond
by the Canal route in about 30 hours.
The route by The Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road. was until lately much slower.
Leaving Harpep-Ferry IN the morning
The traveller only reached Baltimore
that night. Here he was compelled
TO remain until the next day. And
then whether he took the route down
the bay Or by Washington. he could
not get 10 Richmond until the succeed
ing day. II was apparent that By ex.
pediiing the travel on the Rail Road
line. the interest Of the stockholders
would be promoted. Aud this. We
learn. has been resolved on. 4 person

We are much eraiifed to learn, thai
the subscription Of three millions OF
dollars on the part OF the CITY of Bal,i.
more TO the STOCK Of the Bali, ,ore and
Ohio Rail Road Company. and of like
amount on the part OF the State Of Ma

TO the provisions of the laws passed n,
the late annual and adjourned sessions
OF the legislature. Preparatory to the
last mentioned subscription il was duly
certified to the State Treasurer. that
the several acquisitions Of the law au-
thonzing the subscription on the part of
the State had been complied with. The
whole amount Of funds estimated TO be
necessary to extend the rail road to the
Ohio river, has, therefore, now been
subscribed-and the undoubted ability
Of The subscribers renders il certain that
the means will be furnished 10 construct
the road as rapidly as they may be re-
