ONE.HORsR CARS ON THE 1iTH.sTREET
RAILRoAD.-The new one-horse cars on F
street are being literally patroniZed, aud are
much commended. The only want now felt
is the want Of more OF the same sort. Yester.
day the Washington and GEORGETOWN Street
Railroad Company inaugurated the same i'm
provement upon the l4th.street branch of this
road. These cars differ little from those of
the F street line, and are Of the same style as
those now in use on the Ninth avenue road in
New York city. They are light and roomy,
and reflect credit upon the employees Of the
company, by whom they are built, in their
shops, IN this city. The same company are
now baving erected on their ground, near the
Capitol, large and comnodtous frame build
ing. designed for ohices for the president and
accommodations for the clerical force of the
