on Iuesday, having progressed with their labors
up to that time to the east bank of the Col

immediate vicinity convenient to the streams
to be bridged, which materially promotes the
completion OF the same; and the masonry at
the culverts, which alone retards the laying
OF the rails, rs being rapidly constructed
The Tack-layers are up to the masOns. and we

RAILRoAD.-The negotiations in progress for
some time have at last been completed and the
Pennsylvania Central is about to come into i'm
mediate possession of the Richmond, Freder-

nection with the Alexandria and Fredericksburg
road, will give them an air line from Washing
ton to Richmond, and complete their system
into the heart of the cotton States, for which
they so successfully stove last winter. The alb
sOrptlon OF the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad will do away with the necessi-
ty OF the acceptance on the part of the Pennsyl-
vania Company Of the charter granted last win
ter, and therefore release them from the various
provisions to endorse the bonds lincluding the
Piedmont and Potomac offs several contemplated
roads in the state, which, it will be remembered,
were Incorporated into the amended charter of

Company. The result has been anticipated for
