Railroad connections.

The House of Delegates having agreed to Senate amendments to the bill authorizing connections between the railroads in Richmond and Petersburg, it is now a law. The railroads will now, no doubt, take the earliest opportunity of making the connections permanent, as they are required to do by the bill.

The bill for a connecting link between the Richmond and Fredericksburg and the Manassas Gap Railroads, at the junctions of the respective roads, will come up for consideration in the Senate this morning as unfinished business. The necessity of disposing of them at an early day is so apparent that they will, no doubt, be considered at the time mentioned, though from intimations heretofore given, both schemes will meet with opposition.
