Baltimore and Virginia Railroads.

| At ia meeting of the directors Of the Balti
more and Ohio railroad held last Wednesday
President Garrett set forth in a verbal address
some Of the plans Of the company. Those
that relate to this State have interest for oul
readers. After stating that the citizens o.
Baltimore would be asked to aid by subscrip
tions the Winchester and Strasburg road tt
the extent Of four hundred thousand dollars
he proceeded:
The board has decided to aid the Orange
Alexandria and Manassas railroad in extend
ing its line from Strasburg to Harrisonburg
upon agreement for the working of that line
in connection with the Baltimore and Ohio
road, upon terms mutually satisfactory.
The company has also authorized the sub
scription Of $lOO,0O0 to the stock Of the
Winchester and Strasburg road This road
will be nineteen miles in length, extending
from Winchester to Strasburg. The condi-
ton of the subscription is that $500, 600 Of
stock must be subscribed before any of the
subscriptions will be binding. That amount
is estimated to be the cost Of the road. By
the completion Of this short link Of nineteen
miles as the Baltimore and Ohio company
now has permanent control Of the Winches-
ter and Potomac road, in connection with
the agreement with the Orange, Alexandra
and Manassas road, the merchants of Balti-
more will have opened for them line extend
ing from Harpers Ferry to Harrisonburg, being
1O1 miles, through the fertile Valley of Vir-
gilman. Subscriptions in this case will not be
gratuitous, as it is expected the road will be
productive It will doubtless be the policy of
the Baltimore and Ohio Company, when the
Winchester and Strasburg road is constructed,
to lease the line and pay an interest upon its
cost. By immediate action on this subject,
the lines being remarkable free from difficult
ties, can be constructed in a brief period. SO
that within twelve months the line through to
Harrisonburg can be in operation, when the
road shall be opened, efforts can be properly
made for the extension of the Valley lines to
connect with the Virginia and Tennessee road
in the vicinity Of Salem, and a route can be
thus obtained which will afford to the preduc-
tive regions extending through to Louisiana,
the advantage Of transacting their business
with Baltimore by an economical route.
