The w. and Ohio Railroad.
From the Moorefield Advertiser.


We are permitted to publish the following ex-
tract from a letter addressed to Hon. Thomas
Maslin by gentleman Of Penusylv ania. His
suggestions are worth the attention of our think.
ing men, and show that our section is still at
tracing the notice Of those interested in railroads.
TnoMAs MAsLIS, Esq,
likewise wish TO call your attention to the
New York to Winchester Va and there form a
connection with your Washington Ohio COM
pany, To construct to Lost River via Moorefield
and so on 10 the Ohio river. And to the fact
that there are several railroads chartered, or
partly or entirely made, and that nothing ia
wanting but combination of these railroad
companies and little more work to complete a
railroad in almost a straight line aud about the
shortest and best railroad that could be made
from the city of New York to Winchester, Va.
There is already the road made from New
\ ork TO Burlington on the Delaware river -
thence charter for railroad TO Lancaster, with
prospect OF being made soon-some work be-
ing done on II last summer. From Lancaster to
Gettysburg there is railroad in operation -
Then there begins the Thaddeus Stevens Tape
worm Railroad, graded, bridged, ready FOR ties
TO top OF South Mountain, within miles of
Waynesboro station on Western Maryland -
thence in operation TO Hagerstown thence by
extension of the Cumberland Valley railroad to
Marunsburg, with pledge to complete to county
line, or to unite with the Harper Ferry branch
10 Winchester
Now, if these different companies were associa.
ted or consolidated, and your Washington and
Ohio company unite at Winchester, and extend il
through West Va. to New York could supply the
funds and West Virginia the freight from its
vast forests and inexhaustibe coal and iron ore
mines, with cattle, horses, sheep, swine, &c.
lille this freight would soon pay all expen-
SEES, Virginia would be enriched by cash returns
And when in operation it would furnish superior
ATTRACTIONS tor rural excursions to nvalds. 10
the seekers OF pleasure and travellers generally.
Ballston, Saratoga, aud Niagara would lose their
charms. OF be eclipsed by the fresher and prefer
able attractions of the natura al curiosties of West
virginia, The Warm SPRINGS and singular con-
trast of the ice mountain, the Capper. Canon
and other mineral springs. Lost River: &c
These, with the delightful climate, would form
attractions for greater number of travellers
than to be found on aps other railroad of same
extent on the globe.
IL you are. fsvoraby disposed toward tfis uni
ted enterprise, I would be glad to hear from you;
aud being intimately acquainted all along the
route, will be pleased TO Communicate any in.

CHARCOAL AND TAR AS SURGICAL
DREssING.-The London Lancet strongly
recommends the use of q mixture of char.
coal and coal tar, containing 80 per cent.
of the latter, 10 pulverised form, rs dress
ing for wounds. The powder exercises no
jrritative action, and is easily removed by
lotions.pf celd water. The. chdrcoal alb
serbs gases due to fermentation, ,cossplates,

in this respect materially aiding the:sc.ion
of the carbolic acid contained in the coal

the Baltimore and Ohio road have been
made to correspond as near as possible to
those Of the latter road. From Philadel.
pbia to Pittsburgh, however, the fare by
way of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is
% 90, whereas, the Pennsy lvania road has
advanced the rate to $40 the same as charg

WHEAT BAGs.-The San Francisco
Chronicle says: "Last year we needed
l2,OOO,O 900 of wheat bags. This year we
shall want at least 5000, 900, and if tho
breadth of land under wheat cultivation
should increase as it promises to do, we
shall require not less than from 10000,
600 to 3O,00O,0O0 yearly. The value of
these at very low rate would be from
s2,15O,OOO to s3,500,000. We now pay
81, 100000 per annum to Scotland for
wheat. bags, which VIC could as we'll make
*or ourselves, and so give employment to
over$,O0 people. Que future needs would
give work TO an average of $50 people, to
be employed in weaving the .juto into bur-
laps and converting the same into bsgs.-
That would be an addition OF 5000 to our
population Dundee, ScOtleps, with "A

even cheaper than the>Scotch do. Wear
