Winchester & Potomac Rails being laid.

The work on the sections of the Winchester and Potomac Rail Road, in the vicinity of this town, is now rapidly being prosecuted; and we presume the whole portion of the line under contract, (27 miles,) is by this time enlivened with the music of the workmen’s spade and snattock. The numerous strangers (most of whom are the hardy sons of Erin,) who now daily throng our streets, is an evidence that attention has been drawn to the work. It is plainly to be seen that the wheel is in motion; and the effect, so far, seems beneficial, particularly to the merchant and tavern-keeper. But how far our citizens, generally, will ultimately be benefitted, we are not prepared to estimate. We, however, differ from those who entertain the opinion that our community will derive no advantages at all from the Rail-Road. Certain it is, no injury, worthy of consideration, can be the result. Therefore, let us regard it in the light of an experiment, out of which no harm can grow, but which may be productive of much good.
