THE CONTEMPLATED EDITORIAL EXCUR
SION To WASHINGTON

SION TO WASHINGTON.
Two or three paragraphs have been going the
rounds of the press in regard to contemplated
editorial excursion to Washington during the
present session of Congress- at the invitation of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, but definite in
formation has been prumul gated on the subject
We are in receipt of documents, however, which
enable US to publish the general programme as it
will be carried out. Our information comes from
an authoritative source, and may therefore be
relied upon by the press of the country.
The arrangements for the excursion are on the
most elaborate and liberal scale, and will doubt
be largely participated in. As partial acknOw-
Judgement to the press of the West for the services
they have rendered in advancing the Railway in
terests of the country, the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company have made arrangements for
the proposed excursion, with a view also to the
great advantage which their line must receive
from the widev-extended courtesy. The connec-
tions of the road, west and SOUTH have acquiesced
in the arrangement, and the names of thirty-two
roads have been furnished US over which the Edi-
toria fraternity will be carried free upon the pre-
sentation of the circular letter of invitation.
The design is to invite every editor In the West
and Southwest, well as at any other points, who
may desire to join the excursion, each pers on
having the privilege of taking with him lady
1t is designed that the entire party, as far posi-
Bile, will meet at Wheeling, on Friday, the 18th of
April next, from which point special train will
leave at eight o'clock A NJ, stopping for dinner
at the COmpanys new hotel at Grafton Junction,
and reaching Cumberland in time for supper, after
viewing some Two nunQreu miles VI 'hC lOoNJ III
Guiding its mountain divisions and boldest scenery
From Cumberland the party will either proceed in
the express train in sleeping cars, direct to Balt
more or Washington, (either of which they reach
| for breakfast Saturday morning,) or remain over
| night and take the special train for either point
west in the morning, arriving at Baltimore or
| Washington for early tea.
| Those who receive a ticket, and can not make it
! convenient to meet at Wheeling on the 18th, can
avail themselves of the courtesy extended at any
time during the present session of Congress 1t is
! designed to give the traveller opportunity of
| passing over the Western portions of the Balt-
more and Ohio Railroad by daylight, in order that
they may more fully realize the grandeur Of the
scenery through which it passes, well as the
success with which extraordinary natural obstacles
have been in the construction of the road
| through the Alleganies.
The circular letters for the excursion will be is
sued as soon the arrangements entirely per.
fected. which will be in few days. The railroads
which have already concurred in the general pro-
| gramme extend West even to Iowa, Missouri and
other extreme points The Southern roads have
not yet been fully heard from, but they will un-
! doubtedly join with the connecting lines in this
/ grand excursion to the Federal Capitol.
