Washington and Ohio Railroad.

This is the amended title Of the Alexandria,
Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad, with view
to its extension to the Ohio River at Cincinnati.
We learn from the Hon Lewis Mckenzie that
the surveys Of the extended road have been
completed, and that the Engineers are now en-
gagged making up the Maps and ProGleI of the
line to the Ohio.
lie hopes to have the lines well under
way toward Winchester as soon as the Spring
opens, and hopes to have the cooperation Of
Washington City to the extent of 4 million Of
dollars, az the rate Of $4,000 per mile for
every mile laid down.
We have before US table OF distances from
which we learn that there would be a saving
Of l27 miles in the route from Cincinnati to
Washington over the present route; and We
learn from other sources that the proposed line
IS Of easy gradeS-surprisingly 50 to persons
acquainted with the mountainous region.
The distance from Cincinnati to New York
By way Of Erie Rajlray aud other connections
is $50 miles-by way Of Washington 7O6-a
saving Of ISL miles; by New York Central
SIS, by way Of Washington 7e6-a saving of
III miles. So Of every route, the saving
would be from 40 to POP miles by Washington.
We hope Mr.. Mckenzie will press Congress
for aid, with his accustomed zeal and energy.
Ills Republican friends should show their APP
probation Of his merits aud services by sub
stantial testimonial. The Western members
and their constituents have a direct interest in
this great improven,art
