All that is wanting to perfect this link, to enable passengers to take the cars in Washing- ton city and pass by railroad to almost any part South or Southwest, is to authorize the Alexandria and Washington Railroad Company, (French's road, as it is called,) at their own cost, without one dollar from the Government, to strengthen and improve the present bridge over the Potomac and remodel its draws. ‘There can be no reasonable objection to this, the opinion of the Union.

This connection is a necessity. There were transported over this road yesterday more than 700 passengers, and the daily average is now 600.

Te; myer and Mr. Coyle, civil engineers, as wall as other influential gentlemen, including Mayor Ber- rett and Richard Wallach, Esq., of this city. ‘Tae object of this meeting was to consult on the expediency of a direct and permanent connection of the norther and southern sections of our coun- try, at all seasons, by a union of the two tracks with the best possible route to meet all the inter- ests of the District of Columbia. During this interview four great thoroughfires were under consideration othe fivst_to obtain tmission from Congress to put the Potomac bridge in sub- stantial condition, and extend the line of rails across, connecti with the enter rising road, which proves to be of such vast uti ity, from the bridge, and thence through to Alexandria. A second plan 1s to continue the Baltimore road in a direct line through to Georgetown and over the aqueduct. The third to lay a branch rail- way trom or near the present station-house, as direct as possible, to the point of land in the vicinity of the arsenal; and the fourth to leave the main route near ‘Kendallville,’ and extend- ing througt over the Eastern Branch. and perfect their line to the Maryland point opposite Alexan- dria.

THE WALKING MatcH, at Washington Hall, between Limerick and California, begins to grow interesting, the champion pedestrians having been on the planks since 4 20 p.m. on Thursdiy. Bets are still freely offered ou both sides; and. to speak the truth, ithe match seems to be a prett even one, both pects as yet showing very little evidences of fativue, and looking equal to another two days march.
