We make the following synopsis OF an
article on this subject in the las, Spirit ::
The question discussed is, which is the

road TO take after reaching the Potomac

LIST. III, bes, route through the upper

if his were no, the case, the Page Valley
is as rich in agricultural products. and
abounds in mineral deposits.
2nd. The route through J, fcrson 10

by Winchester would defect very much
eastward from that town.

~ being many miles shorter and follow.
ing the eourse OF the Shenandoah river,
WHICH i, strikes in very short distance
from the Potomac. could be more easily
and cheaply constructed.
9Th. BY taking this route the Z. V.
Road would in,ersect the Baltimore and
Ohio RAILROAD. a, or near Duflields Depot.
and Guild thus avoid the direct compeil-
ton with that road, which i, would have
if i, took the route by Mar'insb"Fg and
Winchester. il being nearly parallel with
the WINCHESTER branch. and would COM
mand hall the travel and hade OF Jetfer-
son county and the whole Of Clarke.
9th. The route through Jefferson
would pass through the richest counties
of Virginia, both in agricultural and min
eraI products, and would connect with the
A. l.. & Hampshire road, which is not
under the Baltimore and Ohio Railipsd
monopoly.
