RAILROAD MYSTERIES 1t now appears to
be settled fact that the Baltimore and Poto-
mac company will complete their road through
Maryland to the Potomac river near Pope s
Creek. Obtaining q charter for an extension,
they propose coming on direct to Richmond,
through kirg George, Caroline &c.
This it is said will be the great South
ern Through Freight Line. 1t is intmated
that they next will seek for great Through
Passenger line, aud TO this end will dlverge
from the Freight line at point in Caroline
county, and build separate line OF railway via
Fredericksburg to Alexandria and Washington,
having already secured the Long Bridge at the
latter point for their line to pass over. This is
suggested policy on the one side, but whether
existing, the r. I. Il p. r. r., or sobery
and seriously entertained, is more than | can
avouch.
Now, on the other hand, hearit confident
y stated that there never will be two through
direct lines along this route, from Richmond to
Washington. That sooner than allow such
competition. the present Railroad Company,
(the Il. I. & Z. would sell out, and that they
could do this the more readily from the fact
that they enjoy franchises which no Legsla.

GEORGETOWN M1LLs-In consequence OF a
misunderstanding between the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal COMPANY and MeSsrs. Herr &
WelcE, and Mark Young, proprietors Of he
flour mills on the canal, they were compelled to
suspend operations on Saturday. As far as
can be ascertaiued, the trouble is that the
canal company, some time ago, notified all the
millers drawing water from the canal, that as
they only paid for certain amount they must
procure iron guage gates so that they could
measure exactly their supply. Not complying
with the request, and using more water than
they paid for, the agent of the canal company
on Saturday shut of the supply entirely. The
milVers, on their side, CAIN that they pay Tor
the constant use OF so many inches of water per
annum, and that owing to breaks in the canal,
ioe necessary repairs, and other frequent stop
pages, they do not, during the year, receive
near the amount they now pay for. A suit
between the parties will be the probable result

French Account OF the Late Battles.
NEW YoRK, Aug. I'm. Gaillardet
telegrnpbs to a French paper here
from Paris that two battle have been
fought between Metz and Verdun, In
which the Prussians were severely
checked. This reverse of the Prus-
SLAMS will give Gen. Trochu time to
organize the new army being formed
at Chalons. which already numbers
200 600 men.
Part of the Infdntrie de la Garde
Iolperi1le have arrived at Mourme-
Ion.
The correspondence, representing a
very great decentralization prevails in
the corps of Mcmahon and Failly, is
not true. There is, however, much
discomfort boldly expressed by the men
at their leaders, in allowing the enemy
to concentrate 10 overwhelming num-
bers and bear down upon them at
exposed points, as at Woerth.
Paris is more quiet and tranquil.
Agitations, however, continue in
Lyons, which are set on foot by reVo-
lutionary bands.
Strasbourg is secure. The army
is in excellent spirits since the battle
before Metz, from which the country
is recovering confidence.
Edmund About is now sick at the
fortress of Pfalzburg, which, though
within the enemy's lines, is held by
French garrison.
