WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.
TIE aa..r NEW TnsoUoH L1sr.-Much

of the extraordinary saving in the travelling
time between New York and New Orleans, Sc
cured by the new through arrangement by the
Southwestern and trans Virginia and Tennessee
railroads. To economize two whole days in the
transportation Of the mails between New York
and New Orleans, is an achievement pregnant
with beneficial results to the whole country,
and more especially to its classes engaged in
commerce and other trade. The Postmaster
General, on hearing of the errand of the rail-
road managers to this city-to consult and ar
range the schedule of running time we pub
lished yesterday-is said to have promptly and
efficiently aided in its contamination, by the
exercise of all the legitimate means at his COM
mand. Of the route itself, we have to say that
1t is the same, on the prospect of opening which
the Star has so often commented within the
last two years. 1t is located more nearly on an
air line, from W Washington city to Memphis, than
any other series of railroads in the United
States of as great length. All the roads it en-
braces between this city and New Orleans are
new ones, and all the roads crossing the line,
which extend from the seaboard in South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Alabama on the south, and
the great lakes OEsthe north, are also compare
lively new all being furnished with every de.
sirabe railway paraphernalia, improvement,
| and all being constructed after the most APP
proved methods of the times
The great main line traverses country from
end to end comparatively new 20 the travelling
public of the United States, replete with scenery
| as diyersifed.and beautiful as any in the world,
famous for its healthiness and other attractions
| likely to make trip over it far more agree
| able than over any other so extensive limo OF
railroad through connections in this country.
Under tho arrangements entered into, Wash
ington city is to be the great point for the con
centration and dcboucbe of passengers by this
line. Thus, from this city through tickets will
be given and baggage checked through to New
Orleans, Memphis, Tenn, Huntsville, Ala,
Knoxville, Tenn, Lynchburg and Richmond,
Va, or to any intermediate point and shortly
we presume, to any point Of any of the.numer-
Gus railroads interSecting, crossing or divcrgiDg
! from any point on this long line
To cur own city this new arrangement,
| which must divert hundreds of travellers
| through Washington who would otherwise 90
by the Illinois, Ohio and Indiana railroads,
| must prove Of immense benefit; for DO other
| city In the United States possesses so many at
fractions by way of inducing the wayfarer to
tarry within its limits, as ours. Economy, ex-
petition greater comfort, healthfulness, beau
ty of scenery, and, indeed all conceivable in
ducoments will combine to make it, from the
start, the fayorito route between tie extreme
| northeastern and southwestern portions Of The
| States of the Atlantic slope. In anticipation
of the rush Of travel which the coDsummation
! Of the arrangement insures, the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad Company, whose work
forms the extreme northern link of thu great
chain will, we hear, again run night train over
their road on and after Monday, the LIST of
June, proximo, when there will be two through
trains a day running in connection over the
whole line between this city and New Orleans
On reaching here from the North, passengers
will be conveyed By tho Orange and Aloxan-
dria company from the Baltimore depot to
their depot in Alexandria, and on reaching
Washington from the South and West, the
same company will convey them to the depot
of the Baltimore and Washington road or to
either Of tho Washington hotels, as the traveller
may prefer.
