derstand the bill t. propose extending the
track OF the road from some point on the pre-
sent line IN the direction OF Capitol Hill, under
the hill, by means Of Il tunnel, and dcoouch-
ing on the south side. The track will then
make an easy DETECTION towards the Long
Bridge, where it will cross on Il firm and
well-bult structure, with two sufficient
draws for the vessels We also understand
it to be contemplated that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company shall reimburse
the city Of Washington the amount of her
investment in the Alexandria and Washing
ton railroad. and take the line Of that road
for the proposed new link in the Southern
route.
Connected with this, as We learn, there
will be proposed city railroad to ana
through Georgetown, so as to connect Ut or
near the Alexandria aqueduct, with branch
of the Loudoun and Hampshire road, which
is TO cross on the aqueduct piers. This, 1t
seems to be considered, will yield to George
town IL compensation for the road connect
ing the North and South, which she desires
to pass through her limits, and will answer
every real and practically good end tor her
advantage, without suiiecting herself and
