LOCAL ITEM 8.

GEORGETOWN BRANCH A, Il. q H. H. II.
The Georgetown railroad committee consisting
of the Mayor, Recorder, and Mr. Cragin' Pres
ident of the Council, state in their report that
''the information obtained by them, before Or
dering the survey of the Alexandria, Loudoun
and Hampshire railroad, was, that there
were three routes by which this connection
could be made: 1st BY the way OF "Plmmet
Run" crossing the Potomac at the Little
Falls" involving a connecting road OF some
eleven miles in length, and striking the Lou
doun and Hampshire railroad at point at
least twelve or thirteen miles above Alexan-
dria. I'd. BY the way OF the Alexandria canal,
diverglng thereirom, and to strike the railroad
at or near "Four-mile Run, comparatively
short distance from Alexandria, both OF when
routes were deemed practicable IN point OF
grade, but unadvisable; the first by reason OF
its length, and the expense of a bridge at the
Little Fails" and the second, on account Of
the 7leorneSS Of the point Of connection TO Atec-
anc7ria: and as this Corporation has repeatedly
refused to act at all in the matter OF connec-
ton by that route, the committee did not hesl-
tate to entirely ignore it. Cl The third route, II
practicable, was to overcome the difficulty pre-
sented by the hills between the Arlington
House" and the alexandria aqueduct, and
thence proceed to "Far Church or "Carlin's
Spriogs." To satisfy themselves OF the prac-
ticabilty of this third route, and to save both
time and money, the committee ordered the
preliminary survey by Mr.. Brewer, before al
luded to. Upon the receipt of Mr.. Brewers
report, which was in substance that the hills
could be crossed at a maximum grade OF eighty
feet to the mile, ascending westward, the COM
mittee informed the president Of the Alexan-
dria, Loudoun and Hampshire railroad OF their
readiness TO proceed to work with the survey.
Mr.. Blythe, the engineer and general s.uperln-
tendent of that road, was appointed to confer
with Mr. Brewer. A conference was had,
and the route surveyed by Mr. Brewer was ex-
amined by Mr.. Blythe, who, by letter, com
municated his disapproval thereof and, as de-
clared by Mr. Brewer, indicated that the route
by way of -Four mile Run" was the proper
one. From the letters of Messrs. Blythe and
Brewer, it appears that that president OF the
Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire railroad
refuses to participate in the survey OF the md
die or Falls Church route favored by the COM
mttee. The committee is advised that by way
of the "Pimmitt Run" route the point OF con-
nection will be at least thirteen miles from Al
exandria, and by way of 'Four-mile Run,
about three miles from Alexandra, OF which
routes one did not serve the purpose OF con-
nection consistently with the Leesburg resou-
tons, and the other will involve great expense
of construction.

that the depot at Danyille shipped in 1867
$4,000 boxes Of tobacco, 1900 hogsheads OF
leaf tobacco, and $500 hOgsheads Of stems. As
| did not intend to give any statements
but those taken from the depot books, llhore
