TuB PITTsBuRe AND CoNNsLtsvILLE RAIL
RoAp.-The progress of this work has, for a
humber of years, been a subject of great
deal of interest to this portion of our State,
and the people have been looking forward to
its construction with many fond hopes BY
The action of the Penny lvahia Central Rail-
road Company, many impediments have been
thrown in its way and strenuous efforts have
been made to divert the road from its original
destination, AM. make it Tributary to that
road The Pennsylvania Legislature assisted
The Pennsylvania Central Railroad by its nc-
zion, and for while, they had it all their own
w,v. but now the tables have turned, and
Mr.. iiUcfARr, the gentlemanly and compc-
tent President of the Pittsburg and Councils
willie Railroad Company, assures us that they
expect to be at work this summer, unless
prevented by renewal of that harrassing
course of litigation which the Pennsylvania
Central has so long practiscd toward them
Trey have fcccnIly had a decree in their fla
Vor from the United States Circuit Court, but
st is not final, giving, in fact, the other party
thirty days to answer and renew the contest
The decree, however, was so favorable in its
tenor as to preclude the Pennsylvania Central
from any hope of success against them upon
the final trial The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road is necessarily deeply interested in the
completion of the road to this city, and are
giving every aid in their power to insure its
success. No doubts whatever are entertained
in regard to its early construction to this point,
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
rany are already preparing for the increase OF
business which it will throw into their hands.
They are now surveying route from Point
of Rocks to Washington City. and will soon
open up short line to Washington, so that
upon the completion of the two roads this will
be the most direct line from the National
Capital to the West and Southwest.
ina very short time, perhaps next week,
we will cndcavor to give all items of interest
connected with the present condition. pros
pccts, &c, of the road, with some OF its past
history, all of which will be official.
