HERE AND THERE.

Almost since the beginning of the work on
the new b. q o. line from Baltimore 10 Phil
adelpbia, the firm of Jas. Stewart Il Son, con-
tractors, from this city, have been engaged
in construction of parts of what promises
TO be great line. IL will he a double track |
road, with no greater tangent than degrees
aud no heavier grade than eight-tenths OF
foot i'm a hundred--or about AZ feet to the |
mile. The Susquehanna bridge, a little up
the river from the y. w. & b. bridge at
Perryville and Uavre de Grace, will be high
enough 10 let vessels pass under without |
draw; aud its channel spans will be about
500 feet long with all the ordinary obstacles
| TO speed removed, the B. & o. expects TO
| make the g6 miles between the two cities with
| fast trains in two hours 1t is no wonder the /
| Pennsylvania company strives to exclude so
| formidable n competitor. Get into Philadel- |
| phia The new road surely will. Ever since |
| the Pennsylvania euchred the B. IL o. out |
| of It's expected and arranged-for purchase of |
| the =. w. d b., tho CARROTS have been de- |
termned TO parallel the line between Balti- |
more and Philadelphia. With the death of
the elder, before his twelve million dollar en-
terprise was completed, tho son took it up,
with inherited firmnoss of purpose; and
there has never been Stacking Of
this projected competition all
lures for compromise were rejected.
For the creation of popular favor for the
scheme no better advocate could have been
secured than young Cowan, the lawyer and
orator. lie was at Princeton college, with
T.. ID. North esq, of this city, less than
twenty years ago. and has scored good
many victories before he captured, enlight
ened and converted public sentiment in Phil
adelphia. It is no discredit to any man TO
have had Lancaster county grandmother
