The Western Aary land Raanoad,--
The Hagerstown Free Press, says: 1t
will be gratifying to the friends of this
great enterprise to learn that active ef.
forts are on foot to secure an early com.
pletion OF this work.
The large interest Of the city of Bal.
timore in this company forbids the
thought that it can be abandoned; and
the importance to our own people, aud
county, should awaken the earnest sup
port Of all our people in its behalf The
situation Of the road is by no means SO
desperate as many were recently led TO
believe. The grading between this
place and Pipe creek is nearly compile.
ted. The road is in running order for
A miles, and the distance to be laid
with ties and rails is but SO miles. The
appreheusions that an important work
like this, now on the eve of completion,
can be abandoned, or that aoy present
embarrassment is anything other than
temporary, is the sheerest nonsense
The history Of no other railroad in the
State presents more favorable aspect
than this one. There are periods in
the history Of all works Of this descrip
ton when embarrassments will occur,
but those Of the Western Maryland
Railroad are nothing 10 comparison to
what overlook the Baltimore aud Ohio
Railroad 10 its carly history.
