We hear it very positively stated that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have decided not to come direct to Washington or | Georgetown in Iaying down the branch rail- road from the Point of Rocks, but propose to make a connection with the Washington branch at either Bladensburg or Laurel. This will be disagreeable news to the people of the District who had been hoping for a direct line from the Point of Rocks here, whereby Washington would be brought some forty miles nearer the ‘West and Northwest than it is at present; and this distance much further shortened by the completion of the Connellsville Railroad, con- necting Cumberland with Pittsburg, and the entire West and Northwest through Pittsburg. We trust the Company will reconsider their purpose to divert the termination of theroad from this city, if they bave formed such an one. It will be remembered that it was urged before the Maryland Legislature by our city delegation (who went down to ask fora char- tnr to build aroad from here to the Point of Rocks direct) that the Baltimore and Ohio Road ‘was so entirely devoted to Baltimore interests that it could hardly be expected they would deal with entire fairness to Washington inter- ests, 1f the charter was given to them instead, The Baltimore and Ohio Road succeeded, however, in getting their charter, the District delegation obtaining a second charter, to be operative only in case the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company failed to build within a certain time. The solicitude felt here in car- Tying out this project of a direct communi- cation between Washington and the Point of Rocks, has caused the course of the Balti- more and Ohio Bailroad Company, in re- gard to carrying out the provisions of their charter, to be watched with some anxiety, especially as soon as the direction of their surveys indicated a purpose to ayoid Washington and Georgetown altogether. For be it remembered, the shortest and most prac- ticable railroad route between here and the Point of Rocks etrikes this city on the north- ‘western side, as a glance at any map will show: consequently every inch of diversion from that poimt of approach to Washington is so much to the disadvantage of this city and George- town. Another glance at the map will show the amount of cireumbendibus involved by a deflection so far to the east as to strike Bla- densburg, and more especially Laurel, at ‘which point the indications are that the com- pany mean to strike the Washington Branch. This style of roundabout railroad philandering between here and Point of Rocks is certainly not what the District bargained for in seeking 8 direct communication with that point, and if carried ont by the company will force the ir- resistuble conclusion that 1ts purpose is to make the road as much a feeder tor Baltimore as pos- sible, and to divert the business of the road from Washington to the same extent. The supposition that the purpose of the Bal- timore and Ohio company in designing to enter the District line (by the Point of Rocks road) over the present track of the Washington and Baltimore road, is to evade corporation taxa- tion, merely, is too trivial, we think, to merit attention. This corporation has not surely shown itself so exacting of the company as to Make such an evasion necessary for such a purpose, and supposing they were taxed, the amount would be too trifling to be a matter of Moment to the company. The real cause of the diversion of terminus will doubtless be found in the devotion of the company to Balti. more interests, a devotion perhaps natural, but ‘which is most unfair to this District, to which the company owes no inconsiderable degree of its prosperity. In fact, the interests of the road are co largely interwoven with the interests of the District cities that we are very much in- clined to disbelieve the positive allegations above referred to in regard to the purposes of the company, and trust to hear soon authorita- tively from them to the effect that they purpose carrying out with entire good faith the under. standing as well as the letter of their Point of Rocks charter. —<$<$___. SECRETARY STANTON.—The Richmond En- qQwirer is anxious that Secretary Stanton shall retire or be removed from the Cabinet. It modestly says that his “removal would be a source of great pleasure throughout the South,” as he “has few friends in the Southern States,” and “would be accepted as a good-will offer- ing.” His course is reviewed by the Enquirer, and his energy is conceded in the following ex- tract: “Even while sharin the South the bitterness of ieoling thoes cuahee: retary of War, we must bear testimony to his firmness, perhaps stubbornness, to his unflag- ere industry, and to his devoted sentiment of nionism. An earnest enemg is more admira- ble than a yacillating and unstable man. Mr. Stanton, during the war, neyer failed in any- thing that could contribute to the success of bis cause. When defeat overtook his arms, when the public spirit waned under repeated Tnllitary disaster,and all seemed tost for his cause, neither his resokution nor his courage failed him. One commander after another ‘Was dismissed, as one army after another was destroyed. McClellan made way for Pope, ‘who, more unfortunate than his predecessor, paid the same penalty. Again McClellan was superseded Dy Burnside, and then Hooker, and then Meade, and then Grant. Butamidsi all the disasters that caused these frequent changes, the Secretary remained firm and im- moveable—determined and unyielding in de- feat, he was seldom tried by victory; but in de- deat bis resolution never to give up the cause ‘was often made apparent. To noone man in the United States, more than Mr. Stanton, can the success of the United States army be attri- buted. Stanton in Washington, co-operating with exhaustion in the South, overthrew the Confederacy. Neither Lincoln, nor Grant, nor Sherman, contributed more to success than Stanton” Tue WEEKLY Star is now on our counter for sale, and in wrappers ready for the mails, containing all the details of the execution of Wirz, his letters and diary; particulars of the railroad accident on the Avenue; proceedings of the Board of Trade and City Councils on the right of running steam cars through the city; progress of the cholera; financial; agricultural: domestic and lit miscellany; forei mil- itary, naval, and departmental’ intel! ligence; local news, and the latest telegraphic dispatches Zrom all quarters.
