MANASSAS GAP RAILROAD. We find in the
last Romney lntelligencer some we'll written COM
municatons setting forth the advantage of connec
ton between the Manassas Gap Rail Road and the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, which promises well
for the former road and greatly to the advantage
of our snug little sister Alexandria. The pro-
position is to make road from Strasburg to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Paddytown. The
writer states that from some point on the 3. q O..
Rail Road at or near Paddytown, by one or other
ofthe gaps in the South Branch mountain, near
Romney, and by the gap in the North mountain,
near Lockhart's the proposed road can be made to
iStrasburg or to Manassas Gap in distance not
exceeding 10 miles, and at n cost no exceeding
81, 200 900. The distance, by the Baltimore &
Ohio Rail Road, from Paddytown, by way of Cum
berland and Harper's Ferry, to Baltimore is 200
miles. The distance from Paddytown by way
of Manassas Gap, to Alexandria, is about lao
miles.
BY the proposed connection complete line of
Rail Road would be formed from the M ssissippi
river to Alexandria and Washington, and the
amount passenger transportation secured to the
Road which would ronderit prosperous and profit
able. 1t would put Alexandria in immed late
competition with Baltimore for the great western
trade seeking an eastern market, and secure to
the former large trade along and near the Road
which now reaches the latter city. 1t also would
constitute the first connection fan Eastern Vir-
ginia city with the western country by direct
line of Improvement. - Wheeling Times.
