Health and success to the- galhint major. ''" Vault Itoida'find Editor of the Morning _Post Piank Roads are-beconiing.the " fashion of the .day;" and, judgingftom appearances, they tivilt soon become the common - roads of the country. • . •• The itatute bOoks'of our State for the last two or three years, furnish sortie evidence of this; a con. siderable portion of those volumes ,being filled with charters for such roads. ..A great portioirof . hese charters authorize - the construction of these roads in Western Pennsylvania, where the mate. Hale for their construction are. cheap and atom. dant and where the deep , clayey soil renders them peculiarly . desirable. We still have the old fashioned predictions that " plank roads will not do; will not be profitable.; and will prove a failure." But notwithstanding these predictions, we find that no stock is sooner taken up than plank road, stock ; and no Oldie works are pushed forward towards completion with more confidence and vigor. And in States where they have already been fairly tested, expe rience proves that no investments are more se cure and productive. Their original cost but little exceeds the cost of well made macadamised roads; and the ex pence of perpetual repair will be even less And so far superior, are they - to macadamised roads Mat they uniformly secure a far greater amount Of travel and revenue. They are in order for use at all seasons, without additional motive power; and they do not, like macadarrris ed roads, require haltthe strength of the teams that pass over them, to grind down and level the, material that forms them. These plank roads are well named "the peo• ple's railroads." They can be constructed by communities, and through regions but moderately wealthy; and for common purpose, and throtigh farming and mineral regions, they answer almost equally valuable purposes as railroads. The motive power on plank roads is more ex pensive than on railroads, and the speed far less. One "iron horse" will do the work of 200 horses of flesh and blood, power and speed being both considered ; and it will endure longer, and require less-feeding and rest. Increased speed and diminished expense for motive power are the advantages of rail over plank roads; while in cost of construction plank roads have the advantage--ten miles of double track plank road costing less, perhaps, than one mile of railroad.. Rut . my object in writing.is hot to repeat what is now generally known; but to call attention to a suggestion lately made public, in regard to the use of plank made. It is propdsed to construct plank roads with double tracks, and on one track to lay rails of durable wood, securely fastened, and run small locomotives, with light trains of freight trucks, and even passenger cars. A speed of ten miles per hour could thus be gaine4, which is nearly three times 'the ordinary speed of wagon teams, and would be a far less expensive motive power besides. It is said that from $2500 to $3OOO per' mile would be the cost of such roads, and that so used they would last longer than plank roads used by wagon and coach teams. And it is be lieved that the continuous planking resting on sleepers and fastened to them,would make a road firm and strong enough to support trains of con. siderabte burden. The cars or trucks are to be of cheap construction, and a locomotive itself, of the kind required, it is said, would not cost over $2OOO or $2500. It is to be hoped that the inventor will soon de. l velope mote fully his plan, and that it will be found practicable and profitable. If this thing will work well and safely, it will form a new era in the history of roads, and of travel and trade. Plank roads will soon become " the people's railroads," indeed; and every, region may have cheap and speedy communication with the great markets and marts of trade, and the nia.nutactu ring cities find cheap access to every community that needs their fabrics. These roads would be in fact railroad: upon a cheaper plan of construction, and would answer all the purposes of the most expensive railroads, except only in the rate of speed. The grades and beds of plank roads, as now made, would be spill. ciently level and firm to answer the purpose; and if they seek more circuitous routes, to avoid deep cuts and high embankments, they accommodate more territory, and save in grading the increase of expense In distanc&—and - whild rosinr, route ; are gaining more employment. Suppose such a road extended from Pittsburgh into a farming, mineral and lumber region, say to the Clarion river, or in any other direction, .a die tance of-100 miles. Its outside cost would be $300,000; furnishing one track for a carriage road, and one for a railroad. The equipment of the road, on the plan proposed, with all the sta tions, locomotives end trucks, of the kind requir ed, would cost about $50,000 more; making the whole cost of such a road, 100 miles in length, and complete for use, about $350,000. It can hardly be doubted that with the travel, the farm. ing products, the iron and other minerals, and the lumber, and the increased production of all, con sequent upon the construction of such a road, it would be profitable stock,. The proprietors would be repaid, and the regions through It•hich such roads would pass would be vastly benefitted. Such public works make in part their own rev. enue, by rendering the regions through which they run more populous, productive, and wealthy. - Suppose a locomotive for such a road, of 25 diorite Tower, to cost $3000.; and would draw 25 or 35 tons of freight, on trucks whose principal cost would be the wheels and axles; and would run 100 miles, including stoppings, in 15 hours. Could six or seven 5 horse teams, all complete, cost less than this train? Much more. Would they cost , less for feed and repair? Much more. Could they draw. morel Much less. And the train would dolhe work in 15 hours which would occupy the teams 4or 5 days. And how much less would the wagon road cost than the plank railroad? In proportion as the wagon road cost less would the horse power and time coat more. Wall these plank-railroads work ? N yea, would they not be a matter of great public economy and benefit? And be in themselves profitable invest. meats besides? - If such roads can 'be made and worked safely, at so cheap a rate, doubtless the capital and enter prise can be foand to multiply and extend. them, tilt the "hum and rattle of their laden trains will be bctard throughout all the wide regions of West. ern Pennsylvania, opening up and inerrosing alI her'vast sources of wealth and prosperity ; _and bringing her lumber fields, her rich mineral. tree sures, and vast agricultural products;into cheap , and speedy communication with the great markets of the country. - And the wide plains and valleys of the great Viten would not be behind us in their use. - The only question after all seems to be, Cannot a cheaper kind ; of ~ railroads than, those costing $20,000 or $30,000 per mile be constructed on, this plan, to accommodate turning and mineral regions, and less extended localities, and even routes of considerable travel and trade, where whirlwind travel is pot essential. Such cheaper rairroads, while they would greatly benefit the re• gions through which they would pass, would be profitable "feeders" of the mighty leviathans that are stretching forward their iron arms across States and oven Continents.

For thirty cents an hour - a fine horae,can be hired at any livery stable, together with ri man as attendant, who follows on foot; and, when you desire to ride fast, he catches hold of your horse's tail and 'is drawn along. In this way he prevents you from . running away from him. Mr. Dix says the homes anon become accustomed to these human append. ages; and that the fellows have a way of making the homes go fast or slow, as they desire, in "spite of the rider. Mr. Dix says that for ladies this uttsocia% tion of horse and driver is a great convenience. They need no other attendant. He is always - ready to render any assistance ; if tie home loses a shoe, ho has a hammer and nails in his pocket to replace it. It is not easy to fancy a more ludicrous spectacle than 'a lady riding through the city at full gallop with a man banging to the tail of herhorsc; but such scenes are of hourly occurrence in Funchal, and the eye soon becomes accustomed to Ours.
