EAST ALEXANDRIA FERRY. The Baltimore

Newc says:
"This route is now in full tide of successful
onerstion. and two trains leave Camden station
3sily-one at 6 Is 8. N. and the other at 10 10
for Alexandria, Lynchburg, Danville and the
South, via Shepherds, the Alexandria terminus
o! the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The Is
y. m. train also takes passengers for Richmond,
the steamers of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad stopping at Shepherds
and making close connection with the trains
By this route passengers reach Richmond IN
fraction over six hours, and cen partake OF
breakfast on the steamer, besides having . full
view of Mount Vernon, and enjoying delight
full trip of about twenty-five miles on the maJes-
tic Potomac. Upon arriving at Shepherds, the
train for Alexandria, Lynchburg and the South
is quickly placed on the steamboat (Which IS
provided with double tracks, and started for
Alexandria, which is directly opposite, the
time consumed in the transfer being only about
fifteen minutes. Everything goes like clock
work, and passengers may feel as secure as
though they were on terra trma. The distance
from Baltimore to Alexandria is about 40 miles,
and is run in about an hour and thirty minutes,
saving nearly an hour over the route via w ash
ington, with its tiresome omnibus tran fers.
Many of our merchants having business in the
ancient city the new route offers extraordinary
inducements, both by. shortness OF time and
cheap fare, round trip tickets being sold at re-
duced rates Travel, since the opening of the
route, has increased very materially, and Sun
dsy night four we'll flied cars composed the
train which arrived at this city at $50 p. m. A
large amount of freight is conveyed by this
route several trips of the steamer being required
daily to make the transfer, ten cars being taken
across the river at one time. At Shepherds ev,,
srythinp wears . busness-like aspect several
locomotives and large humber of employees
being constantly engaged in shifting cars The
pier is kept in apple pie order, and IS as clean
and bright as can be. At Alexandria great in
terest is manifested in the passage of the cars,
and large numbers congregate on the wharve:
every day to witness the operations: great
many ladies cross and recross the river every
day on the ferry steamer just for the novelty OF
the thing"
