The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad

A Baltimore correspondent of the
New York Daily Bulletin says: 1t
is evident from the talk in Baltimore
that before long a new rival to the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad is ex-
peeted in the field, the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad, to run from Nor
folk or Yorktown, probably the lat
ter place. There is any quantity OF
water there, and opportunity for de-
velopment, the only question being
the date OF completion Of the roads
connection with Chicago. That will
give the. country six great through
routes, the Hoosac Tunnel (prospect>
ive), the New York Central, Erie.
Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio.
Chesapeake and Ohio. \ very large
and active interest has recently been
started in the direction Of forming
railroad connections with this last
road west, northwest and southwest,
to Chicago, Memphis aud New Or
leans. Some of these propositions
are in course of early adoption. The
road has its eastern terminus now at
Richmond with fourteen feet Of wa
ter at its docks and along the river,
with prospects ofeighteen feet in ear
~ prospect through dredging Of the
James River authorized and about to
be done. The connection east OF
that is the Old Dominion line Of
steamers to the docks of the company,
and the business is hauling coal, iron
and lumber and local produce and
supplies, aud taking passengers to
the large number OF med:cinalSPyi g
on its route, together with consid
cradle through business both in
freight and passengers by means OF
excellent steamboat connections on
the Ohio river with Cincinnati and
other prominent points. But Il
branch is to be carried along the pc
ninsula to Yorktown or somewhere
between the York and James rivers,
on the Chesapeake, where the largest
vessel can go even without a pilot to
the piers and elevators they propose
to erect. THIS will make another
very close and short connection with
Chicago and with the bituminou-
coal-feldS and iron and salt mines 0!
West Virginia in the way. But for
the troubles # the panic this would
probably have been done before.
