Chai \ Tem Long Bridge draw might be required to be shut | A’ {- | toadmit the passage of trains, the requirements of the river's commerce would demand them opened, are very serious drawbacks to the plan of using the Long Bridge—covenante by deed, by the by, to be kept up by the Government asa bridge for ordinary travel. Considerations such as these give rise to the plan of avoiding this city altogether in making the permanent connection that will surely be consummated in some way in less, per- haps, than six months. ‘The fourth plan, which strikes us as embracing most fs that of extending the track of the Washington Branch Railroad to Buzzard’s Point, either across Pennsylvania aveaue and down ¢ | the canal until reaching a convenient place from which to strike direct to the Point, or via the ra- vine back of the Capitol, or; again, by tunneling ‘the base of Capitol Hill; the extension to be trav- eled only by horse cars, if Congress thinks proper to impose that already aatiquated obstruction to the completeness of the connection. To the constructing company, the cost via Buz. 2ard’s Point, may be brought within tenth the cost by any other plan. From B. it is proposed to complete the connection by run- | ning ferry boats like those in use at Havre de , | Grace, Md., to the Orange and Alexandria Rail- || road Company’s wharf in Alexandria; the dis- tance ‘being less than four miles, the depth of ‘water at lowest tides never less than fifteen feet, , | and the conrses of uavigation such as that no fog on the Potomac can ever thereafter cause @ fail- ‘are of mail connection iu due time. The time | Shel saved between the depots vie Buzzard’s Point, will be quite as much as could possibly be saved by # continuous railway connection either around ‘Washington vis the Three Sisters, or by crossing | the Loug Bridge, subject to the usual delays at the draws. The ferry boat should be prepared to face the fee in winter, which, below the Arsenal, it will be remembered, iS fever so serious an obstacle to Steamers as above that point. Another advantage of thig route is the fact that it suites the grades of all the streets, as established; yet snother adgan- tage of the selection of that route, is the fact that by the first of April the wrk on it can be finish- |. ed—a great desideratum te the companies to make the im, © | far, m sealed hook, as it were, We pos ¢ wnt “ "s Poing }- tected for temperature,) 29,; Thermometer, at 7 a. m., 53%; at noon, 62 Maximum during 24 hours ending 9 2.m. to day, 62 ; minimum 50 TO ALL ISRAERLITES—A tl be ht -id at the Synagogue of the Congregation ofthe ots ‘aahing- treet, corner of D, on SUNDAY, th 13th i t, at So’clock p. m., when ail Is aplites of this city and the le of Georg*towa aad Alex Iria are respectfully Keponet to attend. for to t it sproww! business for the benefit ef every Is tein these communities.
