The Maryland and Delaware Railroad


The Maryland and Delaware Railroad.
Since our last issue we have been pleased to
learn from an official source, that the prospect
of speedy construction of the Railroad from |
Oxford, in Talbot county, Md, to the Delaware
Railroad, is more favorable than we had for
merly been led to suppose, and that in fact, it
is beginning to assume something of a reality. |
Every one must be impressed with the impor. |
tance OF such road Tor the people of Talbot,
Queen AIMS and Caroline counties. An ex-
animation of the map will show the inquirer
that the road will travel "bee line," Ohe
proposed point of intersection with the Della
ware road being near Dover,) and pass over
level section OF country, requiring but lidle
grac ing, and conseqently costing infinitely less
tban most roads OF the kind We have reason
to hope tor the success of the enterprise, and
those who have had better opportunities of
lnqulrng into the matter, are confident of a
completion of the work within the next twelve
months. Already arrangements are being made
to begin the Delaware section of it at an early
period and negotiations are on foot to secure
the speedy completion of the Maryland part
We are assured that the most liberal assis-
tance has been offered in the aid OF this section
Of the road.
OO SeHeIdI IL LHe DeIleI lndJ the road VIII be
! put IN operation at no distant day, that land
situated on or near the supposed line, has ad-
vanced IN price at least fifty per cent since
the passage of the law. Much valuable land
will be thus brought into market and our sec
ton Of country, hitherto, secluded from the
world, Will be brought INTO communication with
the cities, and It's resources more fully devel-
! oPed. As general thing, the Eastern Shore
| OF Maryland Is bchIndhand III enterprise and
! advancement With great natural resources
"A delightful climate, Il kind soil, easily cul-
tlvated, and susceptible of the highest state of
mprovement-threaded with bold navipable
steams-unsurpdssed in It's adaptation to apri-
culture and graZmg-as lavish as Nature has
been TO US IN all these respects, we are never
theless much behind our ncIe hbors oftho Wrs-
tern Shore and the adjoining States, in wealth.
Influence and greatness. We have al! the elc-
IHehts OF wealth and grcaness-why should
they not at once be DEVELOPED!
The completion OF the Railroad will be one
important step T. wards the ACCOMPLISHMENT of
50 desired an issue. And it requires no pro-
phetlc eye 10 see that the advance step once
taken, we shall speedily reach that exalted DO
sltlon that Nalue has designed our section of
country to occupy.-Denton Jourhal
