The Baltimore american, morning last.
| says: gentleman who has Just returned from
a tour along the line OF the Baltimore Ches-
apeake and Delaware Bay Railroad, states that
there is full corps OF engineers at work on the
line, and third in position among them is How
| ard Poulson. ESQ, Youthful graduate of our
| Baltimore City College, and son OF the Rev.
| Thos. l.. Poulson. The right of way thus far
| has been freely given, and the grade ia almost
| wholly on the surface. The engineers say that
the crossing Of Choptapk river will not be at all
expensive.
The people of ths counties through which
| this road passes ara unanimous in their anxiety
to do all in their power to aid in the construction
Of the road. The timber necessary for the
building of bridges and superstructures is

route selected is exceedingly favorable for the
cheap construction OF the road which will greatly
