rHE RAIL noAp CONVENTION,

Held at Baltimore on Saturday last, was
large aud enthusiastic. The number of
delegates from Pennsylvania, upwards Of
three hundred, showed the interest which
is felt along the Susquehanna in the great
improvement Of that valley. The citizens
Of Baltimore were fully represented at the
Convention and met the advances of our
delegates with spirit of good will and
energy which augurs well for the success
Of the contemplated enterprise. They ex-
pressed just appreciation Of the rich un-
developed resources of this valley and OF
the benefits that city will derive from an
intercourse and trade with this region, and
are determined no effort on their part shall
be spared TO accomplish so desirable re-
suit. The meeting and interchange of SEN
timent will be- productive Of the most hap
py effects. The eyes of the capitalists in
that city are turned towards this route and
they promised that material aid which
alone is essential to the accomplishment OF
the work.
The proceedings of the Convention oc-
cupy too r. ch space to permit Us to give
them at large. The speech of Gen. Packer
was masterly effort, full of facts and fig
ures and showed thorough acquaintance
with the subject. 1t was listened to with
deep interest and made marked impres.
sion upon all who heard it. Eloquent re-
marks were also made by his Honor the
Mayor, Hon. John P. Kennedy, Gen. Cam.
eron and others. The offer of a subscrip.
ton of $4,000 TO the stock of the Susque.
hanna Rail Road by Mr.. Carter of Balti
more, was promptly responded to by ;
similar Offer from Col. Sitter OF Unior
county. The excitement in regard to th
rail road is extreme, both in this valley anc
at Baltimore. No doubt now exists as [,
the result. The stock will be immediatel,
taken and the work pushed to a speed,
completion.
Our delegates were delighted with th
people of Baltimore. They are enterpri
sing, energetic, courteous and hospitable
Our short intercourse with them has givel
US true appreciation of their characte
and produced the happiest social results
Henccforth Mason and Dixon's Line is al
obsolete idea with US, fabulous and unrea
boundary, and we hail Baltimorians as bro
theirs and their city as the getty of th
Susquehanna.''
