iim'nary surveys. under the direction of the
engineers of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
have been made aud are in progress over sew
erai different routes, with a view to direct
connection between that road and the South
ern railroads at Alexandria. The most teasa.
BILE route is that from the present Baltimore
and Ohio railroad in this CITY, across the
Anacostla, to point opposite Alexandra,
where the Potomac channel is only about a
quarter of a mile wide, so that with caseways
or trestle extending over the flats ferry route
OF hve minutes duration would pass the trains
from one side of tho river to the ether
Another connection is that suggested by a
bill now in the hands Of the Senate commit,ee
on the District OF Columbia. by this plan a
terry route from the terminus Of the ORANGE
road at Alexandria to a point at the mouth of
James creek, less than five miles. would con
meet the railways on each side of the river
Whatever plan may be adopted, it is certain
that new route between the Orange and
Alexandria and the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road will be constructed at no far distant dav.

An error was committed in printing and

no such act had been passed. Chapter NJ is
the only act that was passed on the subject of
the qualification Of county officers. Those Of
Ulcers who quail fled p,ror to the passage of
that act are not required to qualify again, but
would advise Presidents OF County Courts
and Clerks of County Courts to qualify ac-
cord'ns TO provisiong Of Chapter NI, as they
were officers not known to previous laws. The
error referred to has produced considerable
confusion all over the State. am written to

pubic may be informed of the error. | re-
specially request that you will insert this
note in your paper, the most satisfactory
means of giving general information upon
the subject.

AN EXCELLENT MovE.-As will be seen
by our Senate report this morning Dr. Sum.
mers introduced resolution in that body YES
terday, looking to the establishment of svs-
tenn in the State Library whereby lies of such
newspapers as should be furnished might be
preserved for historical purposes. The state-
ments of this gentleman, upon introducing
the resolution, are very true, and when once
considered, of striking Importance HI said
among other things that there we're matters of
the greatest interest to historians. and ,tters
who were engaged in searching the past hiss
tory OF our State for incidents either of local
or national character, to be found in the news
papers of the day, that could be found out in
the future by no other means. The import,
ance of the subject we are pleased to state,
met with unanimous recognition at the
hands Of the Senate. There is probably not
paper in the State that would not contribute
current file to this collection. Such papers
as were desirable could then be selected and
found for preservation, with but very slight
cost, either in time or money to anyb body con-
cerned.- Wherling Register
