"TnR Work Goss BgAvELY oS.-We have
received from friend in Princess Anne, Nd.
a copy Of circular Of the Commissioners for
receiving subscriptions to the capital stock Of
the Eastern Shore Railroad notifying the sub
scribers that two thousand shares and upwards
have been subscribed. and appointing the 22d
Of February for meeting Of the subscribers
to be kcld in Princess Anne for the purpose OF
organizing the company and electng five d.
rectors to manage its concerns.
This road, as has already been stated, is
an extension Of the road which now stops at the
Seaford, on Nanticoke river, a distance Of 81
miles, to pon, on Tangier Sound, where it is
proposed 10 connect it with q line of steamers
to Notwithstanding the time between Phlla
delphia and Norfolk to ten hours, and giving
Philadelphia the advantage Of direct and cy-
peditous route to the South and West. The
farmers on the Eastern Shore Of Maryland who
have "set this ball in motion, Of course look
to their own interest in the accomplishment OF
the work in the immense value it will give to their
lands, by opening ready markets for their pro-
ductions of every description-indeed, bring
ing those markets to their very doors. But to
Philadelphia the result will be 50 vastly advan-
tageous in commercial point of view, that 1t
cannot be possible for her to hesitate mo-
,nent in stepping forward with the means to
complete the road without delay.
