Connerion Of Baltimore and Ohio and Manassas
Gan Railroads.

The Legislature at its last session. granted charter for
railroad from Pakesbug. the Ohio river TO nersec the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad Three Forks Taylor county,
nineteen miles Of Claksburg) and is stated that Gin
cnna and st. Louis have procured charters for It's extern
the latter city, Thus complete railroad connection
viii be effected between st. Louis the Mississippi river
and Baltimore, near the Atlantic seaboard.
There is at this time in progress Of construction another
railroad from Alexandra Sussburg Shenandoah county,
by way Of Manassas Gap in the Blue Ridge
It is suggested that connexion might be conveniently
effected most advanageousy to the State and probably
Alexsnds between these two lines of Improvement From
point the Baltimore and Ohio Ralrosd ct or near
Paddyown by other of the gaps in the South Branch
mountain, Romney, and by the gap In the north
tain, Lockha the proposed road be constructed
Strasburg to Manassas Gap in distance exceeding
seventy miles, at cost not exceeding $1,000 900. The
distance, by Baltimore and Ohio Rsilroad from Poddyown,
two hundred miles, The distance from Paddyown, by way
of Manassas Gap, to Alexandria is about hundred and
forty miles.
By the proposed connection lst complete line Of rail-
road would be formed from the Mississippi TO
and Washington, and that Of passenger ansPora
ton secured TO the road which would render prosperous
and profitable. 3D. II would put Alexsnda IN immediate
competition with Baltimore for the great Western trade seek
ing Eastern Market aud the former large trade
along and the road which reaches the latter CITY,
Sd. II would constitute the first OF an eastern Vr
gna city with the Western country BY direct line OF i'm
provement These among leading advantages resulting from
and sgumts in favor of the suggested Improvement are
thus briefly limited at in order that attention and due con-
sderaton may be attracted 20 the subject.
The importance Of escDg the connexion at ALL at the
earliest possible day. may be supported by the consideration
that Alexandra should be ready TO enter into competition
with Baltimore the moment the several lines of road
Wheeling and Parkebug completed, for the trade Of the
Yves, and Northwest while the large influx Of travel from
