Mr.. TAYLOR Of Loudoun then moved a
long amendment requiring the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road Company TO construct depos,
branch tracks and switches at different points
along the road TO the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
and regulating tolls &c.
Mr.. TAYLOR OIL moved to lay the bill on
the table and have the amendment printed and
made the order Of the day for Monday
MrJACKSON, on behalf of,he Company said,
that they now took no more intererest in the BILL
and the House could do with i, what they pleased.
MIR. WITCHER thought We ought TO get
through with the bill al once.
The House, by a large vote, refused to lay on
the table, Mr.. DENISON having asked division
of the question.
Mr.. TAYLOR OF L. sustained the amendment.
Mr.. LEE opposed the amendment. Though
he wasin favor of another terminus than Wheel
ing he hoped the road would go to Wheel
ing and not TO Pennsylvania. We should not
therefore clog the charter with these amendments
Mr. STEPHENSON, in duty 10 his conslitu-
ents, ielt bound TO vote for the road 10 Wheeling,
though he had been disappointed in getting the
terminus they desired.
Mr.. GOODSON protested against clogging
the Railroad company with burthens for the bene-
fit of the Canal.
Mr. SMITH called the previous question, and
the amendment OF MIR. Taylor Of L. was lost BY
large majority.
for the incorporation OF the Northwestern Rail
road Company, 10 construct a road TO connect
with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
They would never ask the Stale for cent MIR.
a. said he asked the poor privilege for his people
10 tap the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad-to con-
struct road for themselves with their own mo-
ney. MIR. Fl. called the ayes and noes, to see
who would resist such an humble privilege.
MIR. EDGINGTON said il was obvious that
this was new plan Of fighting the old battle. II
was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
in disguise.
Mr. LEE warmly sustained Mr.. Hays amend
ment. Ii would be a most tyrannous policy
for this House 10 refuse 10 The people OF The North
west The small boon OF making railroad with
| their own money.
Mr.. HAYS amendment was lost, as follows ::

Mr. PRESTON moved 10 strike out the sec
tons providing for the sale Of the Winchester
and Potomac Railroad 10 the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company.
Mr. CARSON explained those sections, as
not providing for positive sale OF said road. 1t
may hereafter be accomplished, il the terms can
be agreed upon between the Two companies.
Mr.. VERIFY opposed the striking out.
Mir CARSON said that if the sale be COM
pleied, it would bring in $4,000 TO The State. If
the sections be stricken out, the Winchester Road
would not bring in cent.
Mr.. DENlSON opposed the striking out and
sustained The policy Of the sale. The Winches-
Ter Road cannot be supported without foreign
aid.
Mr.. PRESTON explained. He thought j, OBJ
vious now that the right of way is refused, the
Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad Company would not
be willing 10 close this sale. He, therefore, re-
eanied these sections as unnecessary. But, II
said Company will still make The purchase, he
had no objection, and he therefore withdrew his
motion.
Mr.. GOODSON earnestly sustained the i'm
portance of keeping up the Winchester Railroad.
MIR G. regarded the vote this evening against the
right Of way, as death-knell 10 any improve
ment> in the State.

the bill, as 10 prevent The discontinuance OF the
| Depo,s on the Winchester Railroad. Carried.
Mr. WATTS moved TO amend the bill, BY
striking out the proviso for reduction on through
/ tickets on the Baltimore and Washington Branch,
10 the minimum price on the Baltimore and Ohio
| Rail Road The proviso was intended 10 inter-
!ere with the Bay Route and the portsmouth Ran
| Road
Mr.. EDMUNDS Of Halifax moved TO amend
said proviso, by fixing the minimum OF fare on
the Baltimore and Washington Rail Road at four
cents per mile
Mr.. f. sustained his amendment, and thought
we should ask nothing more OF The Baltimore and
d. D. Z 40 no Iipyp H
Company would accept this bill, IL II were not
embarrassed with heavier restrictions. Mr.. Z.
pointed on, the great benefits 10 Virginia, il The
Company construct the Rail Road to Wheeling,
though he (Mr. E.) had preferred more South
ern terminus than Wheeling.
