He locked for few moments with appa-
rently intense emotion, but in II short
time turned his head away rs ii overcome

The Northwestern virginia Railroad.
We are informed from a source which
we think perfectly reliable, that this work,
of such vast Importance to this part of the
State, will be completed at the earliest
possible day. Those who know best, are
satisfied that through the influence of the
citizens of Baltimore, sufficient means
will be raised to carry on the work with
the utmost rapidity. Already there are
three corps of engineers engaged in ma
king permanent locations,
B. H. Latrobe. Esq. we learn, passed
through this county a few days ago, and
examined in person the route usually cal
led the Lambert's Run route, ria the
mouth of Simpsons Greek, and was very
favorably impressed with that route as
possessing advantages over all others in
the cost of construction. grade. and
amount of tunnelling the distance being
nearly as short as that of the route by
this place, and the damages claimed by
the land-holders on that route being
much less than those claimed on this.
We have always looked to the city of
Baltimore to furnish the means to make
this road, and we cannot of course com
plain of them or the Company, if they
insist upon the adoption of the cheapest
route; while we would be much gratifed
if the route by this place should be adop-
ted, and regret exceedingly the necessity
Of expressing strong fears that it will not
1t appears to us that the land-holders on
this route have been very remiSs to their
own Interests in no: offering the right of
way to the company upon reasonable
and acceptable terms. 1t seems to us
that the advantages Of the Railroad pas
sing through their lands, affording them
il cheap, certain and profitable market for
the produces of their farms, and their coal,
which otherwise would remain almost
worthless for centuries, wolld in mos:
cases, more than compensate them for
the land that might be occupied by the
Road which, in fact, is almost the only
injury they would sustain, as fencing along
the sides of the road is seldom necessary.
while their farms would be much in,
creased in value, and the convenience of
obtaining plaster, guano, &C., cheap.
would give them advantages over their
ncighbors, more remote from the Road,
in putting their farms in the highest state
Of cultivation, at small cost.
We hope that the land-hoders on this
line will re consider this subject, and that
the Railroad Company will give them at
least another opportunity to adjust the
damages, if any will be charged, and that
the land-holders on this line will at least
show them that they want the Road, and
will not make it matter of speculation.
We do not mean to say that no damages
should be charged, on the contrary, we
believe that there frequently should be,
but in no case should they be oppressive.
and seldom more than what the land used
by the Road is worth.
