RICHMOND.

Many persons are apt 10 contrast the pro
gress of Richmond with the growth of cities
in the North and West, and to draw from such
contrast, unfavorable conclusions relative to
the enterprise of the former. 1t is very true
that we have been backward in taking advan.
tage of the almost anrivalled facilities which
Nature has bestowed upon US. 1t is true, like
wise, that we do not grow so fast as the cities
OF the North and West. These cities are,
some OF them at least, as New York, Cincin.
matt, and st. Louis, prodigies. The like of
'hem was never seen before, and probably will
never be seen again. Yet, after admitting that
we are far behind some portions of the coun'

Mr.. Bochsa gave two crowded concerts in the
above delightful town. The excitement was
SO great that tickets were at a premium, and

applauded and encored. He had also his
share of bouquets, and when, in humorous
way, he made signs that his Falstaff rotundity
prevented him from STOPPING down TO pick
them up, the house went into a roar. But this
is not all. A young frantic dillitante faute de
n'ieur, having thrown his cap to Bochsa, the
waggish maestro requested Lis attendant to
give it to him, and placing it on his venera
BILE head, saluted the audience most graceful.

PROJECTED AIR LINE RAILROAD TO
BALTIMORE

A scheme has been started, and charter re-
Gently obtained at the hands of the Maryland
Legislature, for the purpose of constructing a
direct road from point on the Potomac river,
at or near Aqua creek, to Baltimore, and we
have seen letter from member of the House
of Delegates of Maryland, to the effect that
the road will certainly be built. 1t does APP
pear strange, indeed, that this scheme has not
been projected at an earlier day. The road re-
ferred to will bring Richmond within $50 miles
of Baltimore, and thus enable the traveller TO
reach Baltimore in six hours at farthest,
whereas now eleven are consumed, in conse-
quence of the delay encountered at Washing
ington. Ofcourse this saving Of time will al
low an arrival in New York in fourteen hours
from Richmond, as only eight are required be-
tween Baltimore and New York, and thus Sc
cure through Richmond an immense amount
of travel, which must tend to throw our PEG
pie in close connection with the merchants
and others who, otherwise, would never see
Richmond in life time. This projected road
will serve to advance the interests of the rail
roads now coming into Richmond, materially,
by giving their travel the most direct outlet
which is practicable, and will secure, we think,
the construction of the Fredericksburg and
Gordonsville Railroad beyond doubt, since
the entire distance from Gordonsvile to Bal
timcre, by means of it, will not exceed 125
miles, thereby producing shorter and better
line for all travel reaching GordonsvilIe, than
the route by Alexandra, which is longer, and
subject to much delay in getting through
Washington. That the stock of ,he road be-
tween the Potomac and Baltimore will pay
well, cannot be questioned in view of the heavy
travel which is now attached TO the route be-
tween Richmond and Aqua creek.
