There j. no stronger railroad administration than
this in the country and if the road fails 10 De rf'ha-
nerative it will not be by reason OF bad management
Regular trains between Cincinnati and 81 Louis are
to be put lst May next, and during that mon'h N
proposed to celebrate the completion OF tins grea' nc
by appropriate ceremonies and an excursion over the
line, at which the East and the West VIII De iuHy
represented. Our Baltimore friends appear TO be fully
awake to the importance of this line to them IN short
ening the railroad distance between Baltimore and 81
Louis about sixty miles. The time occupied III making
the journey will be about 81 hours The line viii be
made up Of the Baltimore and Ohio Road to Grafton
the Nortlwe Virginia from Grafton 10 Parkers-
burg. the Marietta from Parkersburg TO Cincinnati,
and the Ohio and Mississippi making line ot va
miles. Tile Baltimore Sun, in speaking OF tins I'M
portant connection Of that city with 81. Louis and
Cincinnati, says:
The shortest present travelled distance between Bath
ard Cincinnati, BY way of Benwood and Columbus, Is
IS
Marietta route. With another line, however when
il proposed to be built upon railroad bridge at one
the most favorable points over the Ohio el?ht hes
below Pakerburg that place may uitma'ely oe unty1 %
with the heart of Cincinnati by rail direct winch VIII,
il il conteuded practically shorten the distance by
more than thirty miles. For the new line here al
uded ~ a charter has been obtained and the surveys
and other preparations inteilgenuy hlaue poi sIo,
cessu progress Moreover il is, as we learn, IN me
hards Il those who claim 10 be thoroughly identiled
with Baltimore interests. The value and Importance
of the Central OHIO road, IN the meantime as
Baltimore line will not, II Is thought, be sehsDiy
essened by these more southern connections OF the
Baltimore and Ohio road, it being reasonably con,
tended that under the rapid expansion OF the general
railroad system, there will be business sufficient tor
all these favorable located roads.
The openinp of this great artery will be signal
event in Cincinnati and ST Louis history, and must be
followed by arrangements Of moment to the travelling
and mercantile public These twoimportant cities WIZ
be brought within twelve hours ride OF eacn otner,
instead Of the three days journey required Ohly lour
years ago by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The
working management of the road, upon its full com
pl,tion has been rendered to VIM. II. Clement as gem
eral erintendent and Gen. F. w Srader aS general
tick n apent-geutlemen who have distinguished them
selves hy their long and creditabe connection with the
Little Miami Road wherein they now hoid siuiiia' Po-
sons. 49,
snpi line Ii has been seen from the foregoing that
the aggregate distance between Baltimore and n.
Louis il but 924 miles. BY two contemplated ana al
most certain Improvements, the distance from Da'i-
more To Cincinnati and ST. Louis Will soon be iurther
reduced BY IS miles lessenng il to but 300 to Cncn-
matt and but $50 to ST. Louis, being about oo miles less
than the shortest line completed TO the latter city
from Baltimore. -. =.
An article in the last number of TIE Cincinnati
Railrodd Record points out quite LUMINOSITY, ana
with enthusiasm the advantages of this great c0nsoh-
dation which il terms, not inaptly, The Ono Valley
Arterial Railroad" We may give the closing para
garh of this article which says, after It's elaborate
table Of distances:
"Thus we find in time, two-thrds saved, and in
money more than one-half Estimating time at It's
proper value TO a business man, the entire saving Is
ou-ff its former This the great arteilal
line Of the American system. Ii lies nearly upon the
central line of the representative population and the
most favorable latitude for production. Thus IT ls the
very line for the grand national highway on which the
products of the nation may east and west. AS
that il the great movement in the United States, we
may reasonably conjecture that the business Of this
route will be proportionably great. Indeed the Inn
mense trade of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, even
without the completion of it, western connections,
demonstrates most confidently that this must be the
case. lhe fapdlty WIN WIlch all
portions Of the East and West may thus bc connected
will also radiatc business 10 and from all adjoining
regions and make it the great central highway
