We understand that the Company of
capitalists who have purchased the Get

25th, inst., and a elected a Secretary and
Treasurer, and instructed Mr. Case, the
President to settle some pressing claims
against the old Company. This compa

York, and to or near Columbia, and claim
to have a right under a compact between
the State of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
and the Balto. & Ohio Railroad Co., to
ran the road through the State of Mary
land to connect with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad at some point in the valley
of the-Potomac. The object of this com
pany is to make a Railroad from some
point on the Susquehanna River, at or
near Columbia,where it will connect with
.the Reading and Columbia Railroad, by
a,bridge built by the joint companies ;
from thence by York, Gettysburg and
Waynesboro to the Maryland line, using
as much of the old "Tape Worm” on the
route as yill be found suitable. To se
cure the early completion of the project,
a liberal subscription will be expected
along the route, and the New York capi
talists interested in Cumberland Coal land
will furnish the balance and extend the
Road from the Maryland line to Camber
land, with the ultimate intention of con
tinuing it thro' West Virginia and East
Kentucky to Nashville and the South
western States.—Gett.y.sburg Star.
