Ter, OF West Virginia, and c. Slack, Esq,
of this city, visited Philadelphia for the
purpose of of holding an interview with
President Scott, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad in regard to q railroad extern
sion to Mooreiield and vicinity. The
interview was arranged for at the time
OF Col. SCOTS recent visit to Piedmont,
and took place on the 18th inst, at that
gentleman's Office in Philadelphia, and
lasted for several hours. Each gentle.
man represented some interest or other.
Mr.. Randolph acting for -. X. McNeill,
| Esq, the largest landowner in the
Mooreleld region
From Mr.. Randolph we learn that the
project advocated by Col. SCOTS visi.
tors was the extension OF the Washing
ton and Ohio railroad to Moorelield.-
| Col. Scott stated in substance to his Wis.
itors that his company was not able to
furnish dollars" for the enterprise, but
! pledged the cooperation OF his company
50 Tar IS aid was in their power. He
advanced plan Corporations, and gave
some wise suggestions, and offered per
sonal assistance, all of which encouraged
ssnguine hopes OF successful results.
Mr.. Randolph further informs us that
aside from Col. Scott and his friends
other capitalists in Philadelphia, and in
New York 90 we'll. have had their atten-

connected with the Lohigh Valley rail
road also manifest interest in the pro-
jcct. Mcssrs. Wood and Armstrong re-
manned behind TO hold further consulta-
tons, by appointment, with capitalists
AMI railroad officials. Mr.. Randolph.
while staunch friend of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, and an advocate of
the extension Of the Green Spring Run
branch TO Moorefield, fails To see hope
OF such result, but rather predicts the
extension of the Washington and Ohio.
As we stated the other day, this road
is now completed 10 point near Lees
burg. To reach MooreGcld a hundred
0id t,ceicc miles OF road will have to be
constructed, with an outlet at Alexan.

Scott connection through Cumberland.

line and Moorciicli. When he comes to
take an active interest in the project VIC
want him TO look into the matter ND
