THE METROPOLITAN RAILROAD.

1t gives us great pleasure to be able to state that
the Legislature Of Maryland has passed the Metro
politan Railroad Bill, freed from the capitatos tan
clause, which the House of Delegates had injudi-
ciously inserted but ultimately rcceded from. This
work, now authorized by the united authority Of
Congress and of Maryland, is one of the most i'm
portant improvements on foot in any part of the
country 1t will furnish direct communication
between the Seat of Government and the West,
intersecting the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad near
Fredericktown, and saving between that point and
this city more than forty miles of the travel now
required by that circutous route-a saving in fact
of one-half both in time and expense between the
two places The road will not only pass through
the fine agricultural county of Montgomery, but,
proceeding on through the rich counties of Frede-
rick and Washington to Hagerstown, viii there
connect with the Harrisburg and other Railroads OF
Pennsylvania
We presume that the Commissioners named in
the act will take immediate steps for opening books
of subscription and, it is said that number Of
capitalists ready to invest in the stock, we en-
terrain the hope that it will not be long before we
see the work under contract.

pointed to hold council this summer with the
wild Indians of the Great Plains bordering on the

of character similar to that with the Laramie In
dams last year, binding them not to modest the
travel through those desolate wastes between our
Western frontier and New Mexico, and to obtain
their consent to the establishment of necessary mi
litary posts along the route. Large presents Of
provisions and the usual goods and articles will be
made them by the Agent, the cost of which will be
not less than $4,000. After having performed
this important service, Major FITZPATRICK will
proceed to the eastern frontier of Utah and obtain
the assent of the Indians, parties to the treaty Of
Laramie, to the amendments of the Senate thereto.
