CHESAPEAKE AND ONO RAILRoAD.-Wc
fully believe that the people of Virginia have
not the faintest conception Of what the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad, when completed, is
going TO accomplish for this State. Our own
thorough conviction is that it is going to make
the Old Dominion New Dominion. Already,
Ohio and Kentucky are aroused by the now
speedy approach of the time when the cars will
run from the Virginia seaboard to the Ohio.
The Louisville Courier Journal says that the
people of both Louisville and Cincinnati have
great expectations in relation to this road. The
cars as is known, are now running from Rich
nond to the White Sulphur Springs. and from
Huntington on the Ohio river to Charleston on
the Kanawha From Charleston to the falls OF
the Kanawha is Sc miles, between which
points the road will be completed in six weeks.
From the falls Of the kanawha to the White
Sulphur Springs is l06 II miles. 1t is be
lieved that the road will certainly be completed
early in the fall of the present year, and that
by the 10th of September, 1872, the cars will
be running through from Huntington to Rich
mond, distance of 42l miles! Would that
Col Ed. Foutaine could have lived to see that
day. By its Kentucky and Ohio connections
this road will penetrate the very heart of the
West, and give it it's shortest track to the sea-

RAILROADS. Colonel Thomas A. Scott has
it seems, succeeded in>his magnificent scheme
of Southern railroad consolidation. 1t is stated,
on apparently good authority, that ne has &C
ouired, by lease or purchase, a controlling IN
terest in the stock of three important lines,
namely: the Memphis and Charleston, the
Memphis and Little Rock and the Little Rock
and Fort Smith railroads. His object is said
to be to obtain possession ola through line
from New York to the Texas terminus OF the
new Southern International railroad. The to-
tai length of the consolidated lines is 515 miles.
This is said to be only the first step toward the
construction of line from Fort Smith to Fort
Gibson, connecting with the Southern lntcrna-
tiona railroad at its eastern terminus, thus tap
ping the entire trade of the Summer Pacific
route" Negotiations are said to DC in progress
for the purchase of lines in Georgia, which
will control a large portion Of the trade Of New
Orleans and the Gulf States. These acquisl-
tons have been made in the name OF the
Southern Railway Security Company, which is
composed of wealthy capitalists in Phlladel-
phia, the Southern States, and England.
Among the corporators are VIM. +. Dodge,
