Ia" WHAT THEY WANT WITH Ir.-Tt will
Ie remembered that the Richmond Con-
fent:on at an early stage OF its proceed
'ngs authorized the extension of the Ma
hassas Cap road from Strasburg, in Shen-
aadoah county, to Winchester, SO that
there might be a complete line from Rich
mond to HArper's Ferry; and to this end
the Manassas Cap road was rapidly re-
moving their iron from Alexandria, but
before they finished it, the oath Of May
came, and the Union troops arrived in
Alexandria. Tue iron taken from the Bal
timore aud Ohio road, west of Martins
burg, it is said, is intended to complete
that connection between S,rasburg and
Winchester, and very likely the rolling
stock is for the Same purpo'e.
