THE AIR LINE.-The Philadelphia
Ledger, Of the 9Th instant, says The
project Of an "Air.line'' Of railway
between New York and Washington is
attracting more Of consequence to il by
reason Of the difference between the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
aud the companies connecting with it
north from Baltimore on the question
Of fares. The impression now prevails
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Eompauy, which heretofore opposed the
new line, is now supposed to be 10 favor
OF it, aud that the change Of such inAu-
snce may have material effect on the
result. As to an 'air-line" between the
points named outside Of existing lines,
chat is all idle, MS a glance at map of
the territory covered will show The
present lines cover the only practical
ground approaching an airline, aud we
have long wondered why the New Jersey
companies resisted the proposed line
either Of Washington or Trenton. A
