Western MaryiInd Rdilroad.-The
Baltimore Gazette of Friday says, the
speedy opening of the Western Mary.
land Railroad to McchauicSburg prom.
Uses to give a new development to a
most important region Of our State, and
to demonstrate the fact that local
road, run for local traffic, through a
fertile portion of Maryland, carries with
it the germs of its own prosperity
Wherever there is station along the
road there are marks of thrift and enter.
prise, aud, without being sanguine, it
is easy to predict for this new route an
amount of traffic after the first of Jan.
uary which will do much towards put.
ting its credit on footing which its
earnings will show is deserved. Already
the travel on the road is tenfOld what
was anticipated by many Men who
came to Baltimore once in five years
alone, now come several times year,
with their families, aud much produce
that was wagoued over common roads is
now delivered ut the different railroad
depots. At Mechanicstown, point
will be struck where there is large
country population aud much thriving
business. This will add greatly to the
life Of the road, and bring to il trade
md travel from the counties to the
city, beDofiting them aud aiding as,
1t is indeed very evident that at no
distant day the Western Maryland will
be regarded as the pioneer local road oil
the western portion Of the State, and
that its success will SO establish the
necessity OF other roads Of like des-
criptiou, that the Maryland Central and
the roads through the southern counties
will at once find means, from private
subscriptions, to complete the works
already projected. The Western Mary.
land Road is now proceeding most sat
isiaetorily, under an effective manage.
ment. During the winter all the heavy
work will be completed, aud by July il
will be open TO Hugerstown. What its
future may be, as coal road aud a
through route, we do not attempt to
predict. 1t is enough now to be as.
sured that even as local road it is
one OF great Importance to city and
State.
