THE WASHINGTON AND CHESAPEAKE RAILROAD
A New and Important Enterprise.
Proposed Connection Of the Capital
with Chesapeake Bay by n short
Line of Railway.
WASHINGTON October O Is

WASHINGTON, october 9, 1871.
Editor Star: Ihave Just returned from Calvert
county, Md, where / have been engaged for the
past two weeks in examining the route for a rail-
road TO be made from Washington to the CheSa-
peake Bay, at point short distance above the
mouth OF Choptank river, where the road would
when finished, connect with the road leading
fem Washington to the lower part of the eastern
shore of Virginia, thence across the bay 10
Hampton Roads, Norfolk, SC. left New York
ON the 10th of September, since which time
have been busily engaged in the examina-
ton. i find that the best route would be
TO commence on Pennsylvania avenue at a poin,
where formerly stood the burnt bridge; thence
10 pass across the county of Prince Georges
near the woodward near St. Roses Church. and
10 cross the Patuxent river at or near the viii
lage OF Nottingham, on the Patuxent river, TO a
point on the Chesapeake bay below Fishing
creek, there to erect a breakwater. The dis
lance from Washington to the bay as near as
can ascertain, is n miles. The country through
which the road would pass is level or slightly
been built by the government during the late
war, IT would have been a saving of hundreds
Of millions of dollars. When made, it will short
en- the time of travel from Baltimore five hours,
from w ashington. four or five hours.
Ii Will, by its different connections, be a road
OF great travel both north and south: a GOA
depot on the bay might be established which
could be approached at all seasons of the wear
Chesapeake bay being one of the best harbors in
the world. The road would pass through some
OF the best lands in Maryland, inferior to none
ioi plOuuClhS lIuls anu vegetables. Washing
ton could in a few hours be supplied not oufy
with the fruits and vegetables, but with fish
alive from the Patuxent and Chesapeake, and
with the fruits of the West Indies. NY en-
ployes, company to be formed principally from
business men of New York and Boston, intend Ia
ask of Congress grant of 2,nO6 800 acres of land
to assist in making the road, the government &c
be allowed to pass her mails, &c, during wars

think that when the Washington and Chesa-
peake road is completed, a communication with
the Point of Rocks road would lead to the for.
nation OF coal depot at the Bay that would be
but to the commercial world. M Me denot ON ths

could receive her goods in fifty (50) minute.
from the custoL-house. A person leaving Wash
ington could. in twelve hours, be on Smith,
Island, off Cape Charles, where there is per
petual summer, and where fish of all kinds and
wild fowls abound. In eight (s) hours after
leaving Washington they could be in Norfolk
In fact, it is a route that has as yet bee N ne
elected, but one that must be made.
