introduced in the Senate to day bill to author
iZe the extension and use Of the National railroad
OF Maryland into and within the District of CO.
iumbia, IL authorizes that company to extend
into and within the District OF Columbia their
main road, and to construct the same into the
city OF Washington. A petition accompanies
the bill signed by Fred. y. Stanton, A. B.
Davis, b. L. jackson, Charles Albert, and
Francis Miller, a committee of the corporators,
in which they say the object is to build rail
road to connect Washington city with Har-
risburg, Pennsylvania, by the most direct route
bracucs5ie, which VIII vary very little from
the meridian OF Washington, and make con-
nection OF the two cities % five miles shorter
than by any other route By connecting with
existing lines OF railI Dad the distance to
New York city will be about 265 miles which
will be reduced to $50 miles, when roads now
under survey through Pennsylvania shall be
completed. The distance exceeds that of the
present route from New York TO Washington by
about fifteen miles, but in consequence of avoid
ing the delay in passing through the great cities
OF Baltimore and Philadelphia and over the
long bridges of that route, it may be conf IDENTIFY
asserted that the time between the commercial
and political metropolis will be decidedly short
They think "the people of the District of Co.
lumbia can have the necesssries of life materi-
ally chespened, the cost of travel and traffi
between Washington and the states Of lew YORK
and Pennsylvania can be reduced from 20 to 80
per cent, and the military position OF the capital
be greatly strengthened"
The act of incorporation, as passed by the
Maryland legislature on the 2sth OF February,
also accompanies the bill. 1t names as corpo-
rators b. l.. jackson, Henry ID. Cooke, and A.
