This Work is prepared and published, with the hope that it may be found useful in conveying to the Traveller, cor- rect information in regard to the times, starting-points, fare, &c., of the different Railroad and Steamboat Lines, leaving the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington ; forming together a route which may be called the great artery, or thoroughfare, of the principal political, commercial, and pleasure-seeking travel and intercourse of the Union. The Lines of Railroads, in connection with Lines of Steam- boats, have so increased, and are likely so to increase, in number and importance, that the travelling public, and the business community generally, require new and detailed in- formation respecting them, at shorter intervals than for- merly. To obtain this end, but small editions of this work will be published at a time, in hopes of making it, if favora- bly received, more full and useful in future editions. The Tables contained in this edition, have been prepared with the assistance of several agents of Railroad Companies and Steamboat proprietors ; and .the information may be de- pended upon as being authentic, — subject, however, to change, both in rates of fare and times of leaving, at differ- ent seasons, which can be noted on the margin of this Guide. The Publisher would feel much obliged, if persons possess- ing information in regard to new arrangements, or additional routes of travel, would communicate the same to him, by letter, or otherwise.

THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, The seat of government of the United States, is on the left bank of the river Potomac, in latitude 38° 53' north ; being 40 miles from Baltimore, 137 from Philadelphia, and 225 miles from New York, by one continuous line of railroads. In 1790, Congress passed " An act for establishing the temporary and permanent seat of the Government of the United States," directing the new location to be styled, The District of Columbia. Pursuant to this act. Gen. Wash- ington, as President, selected this site for the seat of the Federal Government, and had the city laid out on a mag- nificent plan, suitable for the capital of a great and powerful nation. In 1800, Congress for the first time took up its permanent abode in the new district ; and in May, 1802, Washington was incorporated as a city, being governed by a Mayor and Board of Aldermen. It now contains a population of about 30,000 inhabitants, and many splendid edifices. The avenues and streets are wide and airy, many of them lined with stores and commodious dwellings, and ornamented with beautiful shade-trees. The Avenues are named after the different states of the Union, and are from 120 to 160 feet wide ; the other streets are from 70 to 110 feet wide. The ground on which the city is built, rises with a gentle acclivity from the river to the height of 50 to 100 feet above the tide waters of the Potomac. Only a small part of the extensive plan, however, is yet covered with buildings. The business of the city is principally confined to Penn- sylvamia Avenue, between the Capitol and the President's 10 CITY OF WASHIN'GTOX. House. Omnibuses and other carriages are always to be found on this street, offering a convenient mode of convey- ance between the distant points of the city. On the first arrival of tli^ stranger at the city of Wash- ington, the fine situation and grand proportions of the Capitol of the Union, strike him with admiration. Its dome, rising to the height of 230 feet above the tide waters of the Poto- mac, presents from its top a magnificent prospect, embracing the whole of the District of Columbia, an area of 10 miles square, and a large additional tract of the surrounding coun- try, with the meanderings of the river, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. PUBLIC BUILDINGS The Capitol of the United States is a lofty and com- manding edifice, surrounded by beautiful grounds of about 22 acres in extent, the whole enclosed by a substantial iron fence. The building alone covers upwards of an acre and a half, and was finished in 1827, at a total cost of $1,746,718. The interior finish is in many respects gorgeous and well adapted for public purposes. The President's House, one mile west of the Capitol, is an object of interest, and a place of great resort both for strangers visiting the metropolis, and for politicians. The mansion is 170 feet front, 86 feet deep, and two stories high, constructed of white freestone, with Ionic pilasters. It is surrounded by twenty acres of ground, laid out with taste, and planted in part with forest trees and shrubbery. The Treasury Building, located on Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania Avenue, is a noble structure, 457 feet long. The colonnade in front is very imposing, being the entire length of the building, consisting of thirty-one large fluted columns, m the style of the temple of Minerva Polios, at Athens. The buildings devoted to the Departments of State, War, and the Navy, are but indifferent edifices, built of brick. They stand near the President's House, at convenient dis- tances apart for all business purposes. The rooms of the several Secretaries, and other officers, are furnished plainly, but with appropriate neatness. The General Post Office is a beautiful marble building, of the Corinthian style of architecture. It contains eighty rooms, and is well arranged for the purposes of the Depart- CITY OF WASHINGTON. 11 ment. It stands on E street, about equidistant from the Capitol and the President's House. The Patent Office has become the mcst interesting de- pository in the Union. The building stands on F street, and is 280 feet long, 70 feet deep, and two stories high, with a basement. The first floor and basement contain each one large room, for models, and eight smaller ones, for offices, &-c. The upper floor, in one room, 275 feet by 65, is occupied by the " National Institution for the Promotion of Science." This is considered one of the most splendid rooms in America, and now contains an array of choice specimens of art and curiosities of nature, unrivalled on the continent. The noble collection contributed by the South Sea Exploring Expedi- tion, alone constitutes a powerful attraction, — all of which is thrown open to the public free of charge. The Green-hohse, in the rear of the above building, also attracts great attention, and is well worth visiting. The models of mechanical genius and art, and the natural curiosities here deposited, in the same building, together with the statuary and paintings in the rotunda of the Capitol, alone render Washington a place of great interest at all sea- sons of the year. The United States Observatory, situated on an emi- nence, about one mile west of the President's House, near Georgetown, is well worthy of a visit. From the top is af- forded a view of great extent and interest, embracing the city of Washington, Georgetown, the Potomac river, and the surrounding country for many miles. The United States Navy Yard, about one mile east of the Capitol, is a place of much national interest and im- portance, where may usually be seen armed vessels of a large class. The Washington Arsenal stands on Greenleaf 's Point, one mile south of the Capitol. It is on a commanding posi- tion, occupying a tract of land about a quarter of a mile square, being surrounded by water on three sides, presenting a fine appearance from the river and adjoining shores. Here are located several buildings for the use of the officers and soldiers ; magazines, storehouses, and workshops. The other public buildings are, the City Hall, Jail, Pen- itentiary, and four Markets. 12 CITY OF WASHINGTON. COLUMBIAN COLLEGE, Incorporated in 1821, by an act of Congress, is delightfully situated on the high range of ground north of the President's House. The buildings are, a college edifice of five stories, including the basement and attic ; two dwelling-houses, for Professors, and a philosophical hall — all of brick. ROMAN CATHOLIC COLLEGE, Georgetown, which lies contiguous to Washington, is the seat of the ancient college belonging to the Catholics, under the direction of the Jesuits ; who have here also a nunnery, and other seininaiies of learning. CHURCHES. There are 30 churches in Washington, most of which are plain edifices, as follows: — 5 Episcopal, 4 Baptist, 4 Presby- terian, 6 Methodist, 3 Roman Catholic, 2 Lutheran, 1 Uni- tarian, 1 Friends' Meeting-house, and 4 African churches.

For any distance over 1^ miles, and not exceeding 3 miles, 50 " Omnibus Fare, from the Capitol to Georgetown, . 12^ " VICINITY OF WASHINGTON. 13 VICINITY OF WASHINGTON. Georgetown, situated three miles west of the Capitol, is at the head of navigation on the Potomac river, and is a port of entry, where centres a large amount of business. It con- tained, in 1840, 7,712 inhabitants. Many members of Con- gress, and others, connected with the government, reside here, it being of easy access, by means of carriages and om- nibuses. The Heights of Georgetown are well worth visiting. From this eminence can be seen the cities of Georgetown and Washington — the Potomac river, and the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, — the aqueduct and the bridge across the river, — and the surrounding country. Alexandria, situated on the south bank of the Potomac, seven miles south of the Capitol, and about 180 miles from the ocean, is an old and interesting city, and a place of con- siderable trade. The population in 1840, was 8,459. Here Gen. Braddock, in 1755, organized his army for the west; and here Washington, the father of the future republic, not only made himself distinguished, in his early years, but cir- cumstances of a peculiar nature produced a mutual attach- ment, which led him to say, in writing from Yorktown, that, " Amidst all the vicissitudes of time and fortune, he should ever regard with particular affection, the citizens and inhab- itants of Alexandria." The Museum at this place is well worthy attention, as it contains many personal relics of Gen. Washington, as well as a large and valuable collection of specimens in natural history. A steamboat runs several times daily between Washington and Alexandria — fare 12^ cents, — affording a delightful ex- cursion in pleasant weather. Mount Vernon, eight miles below Alexandria, on the Virginia side of the Potomac, is a spot that will always be held in veneration by the American public, as being the fa- vorite place of residence of Washington, while living, and as now containing his remains, which are here entombed. This spot ought to belong to the nation, and be so regulated, that all admirers of noble deeds, and pure and lofty principles, might here perform a pilgrimage. 14 RAILROAD ROUTES.

This is an ancient place, on the eastern branch of the Potomac. It is celebrated as the scene of an engagement, during the last war with Great Britain, in which the Americans being defeated and dis- persed, the enemy marched on to Washington, which fell into their hands. The Annapolis Railroad commences 20 miles from Washington, and diverges easterly to Annapolis, the capital of the state of Maryland, which is about 40 miles, by rail- road, from Washington and Baltimore. Elkridge Landing, 11 miles farther, is an old settlement, situated on the south bank of the Patapsco river. The via- duct which crosses the river near this place, and sustains tlie railroad track, is a splendid piece of masonry. The Relay House, 32 miles from Washington, and 8 from Baltimore, stands at the point where diverges the branch railroad to the former place. The main track of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which is finished to Cum- berland, a distance of 178 miles, is now passed over in going lu Baltimore. At the Depot in Pratt street, the terminus of the great work above named, commences the railroad to Philadelphia, a distance of 97 miles. 15 BALTIMORE, The principal city of Maryland, and the third in population in the Union, is advantageously situated upon the northwest branch of the Patapsco river, about 14 miles from the en- trance of the main branch into Chesapeake bay. The har- bor is safe and capacious, of a depth sufficient to float ships of the largest class. This place was first settled in 1729, when it took the name of Baltimore, " in compliment to the Proprietary, whose ancestor took the title of Baron from a seaport of the same name in Ireland." In 1796, a city charter was granted by the legislature of the state ; it then contained about 20,000 inhabitants. In 1840, the popula- tion of the city was 102,513. The rapid growth of Baltimore in wealth and numbers, has been principally owing to its great natural advantages, and the enterprise of its inhabitants. It is about 200 miles from the ocean, and 300 miles from the navigable waters of the Ohio river, — this being the most accessible point of com- munication between the seaboard and the great valley of the Mississippi. The completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will always secure to this place a fair proportion of the trade of the west. The streets are mostly laid out at right angles, and the public buildings, stores, and dwellings are principally constructed of brick, in a neat and durable style. This place is noted for its monuments and shot-towers, which rise to a great height. Here also are constructed some of the finest and fastest sailing vessels that bear the Amer- ican flag, — the " Baltimore Clippers" being admired by all naval architects. This is a great mart for all kinds of West India goods, lumber, wheat, and tobacco, the latter articles being exported in large quantities. Fort M'Henrv, situated on a point of land 2 miles below the centre of the city, is a strong fortification. PRINCIPAL HOTELS IN BALTIMORE. Proprietors. Location.

Total distance from Philadelphia to Chambersburg, by railroad, 163 miles. This road connects with a line of travel to Pittsburg and other places. RAILROAD ROUTES. 27 ROUTES BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW YORK. There are two great lines of travel between the cities of Philadelphia and New York : — 1st. The Camden and Amboy Railroad Line, connmen- cing at Camden, N. J., opposite the city of Philadelphia, and extending along the left bank of the Delaware river to Bor- dentown, then diverging across the state of New Jersey to South Amboy, on Raritan bay, whence passengers are con- veyed by steamboat to the city of New York, usually pass- ing through Staten Island sound, and across the bay of New York, and landing near the Battery. 2d. By a continuous line of railroads, running from Phila- delphia, on the right bank of the Delaware to Morrisville, opposite the city of Trenton, N. J., — thence across the Del- aware river, through Trenton, New Brunswick, Elizabeth- town, and Newark, to Jersey City, whence passengers are conveyed across the Hudson river — here about one mile wide — in commodious steam ferry-boats, to the foot of Cort- land street, in the city of New York. RAILROAD ROUTE FROM PHILADELPHIA TO NEW YORK, via TREN- TON, NEW BRUNSWICK, AND NEWARK. On leaving Philadelphia by this route, the passengers are usually conveyed by steamboat, during the season of nav- igation, from Walnut st. wharf to Bristol, Pa., 20 miles by water. This is a pleasant place, situated on the west side of the Delaware river, 10 miles below Trenton, N. J., by railroad.
