of the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad
Company, was held in Leesburg on the 9Th inst
The statements to the Board by the Chief Engineer
with reference to the general prospects of the i'm
provement were of the most laftering character As
far rs the surveys hive extended, which are being
prosecuted with all pOtsiblei vigilance the grades
of the most favorable kind, being far better than
was anticipated. The Blue Ridge which is the most
foFmidabIs obstacle4e the Improvement be passed
at Keys Gap with q grade fraction 50 feet to
the mile. With the large force in the field it is
peced to have the full reports of the engineers 10 the
Coal Fields by the first of the coming winter.
The friendsof the two principal roads advocated
in Loudoun will be gratifed, we learn, by having
both routes properly surveyed and their advantages
duly reported by the Engineer TO the Company. No.

charge ofpartiatity. The main object is to reacthe
