principal cities and towns of the Union to take
meatsurea for the relieroithe-sufferers...The most
eloquent men of the country, Clair., Webster, crit
temferi, Prentiss and a host of others have addreni"
ed meetings of this character, and have aroused
the people to labor in the noble cause. Large
sum's have already been collected and the work of
phil4nthropy still goes on. , In our town* and the
surrounding region much has been done, and our
citizens are still actively engaged in making col

The.mretir?g at the Methodist Church .on;Sun
day morning last, was not very laige owing to the
very inclement syeatber. These colleCtions, how

$2,696 59: 4 ' We have no doubt that. when" the

Mr. Bairnan—Dear Sir : In the, last number of
the Rail Read Journal, a lecture "by t lobo A.
Roebling,"C.'E." is given to its readers; but as it
is "the Central Route" : from the nose to the chin;
1 propose to notice the points that bear upon the
Sunbury and Erie,' and• show bow admirably he
sticks to his text. From beginning tO end it is
beautifully ,written, and from the 'quantity of civil
engineering to be done on the work it is but right
that its excellent qualities be "set in diamonds."
In the preliminary remarks, however. he repudi
ates the idea of terminating`at Pittsburg ..of '.go
ing to Cincinnati,', or '"of going to Clevelsnd,"—
.the latter would lie a great mistake"—but to , be
i
foremost in magnitude, if no in design,' he trium-,
phantly and emphatically reclaims its terming.

only of the dollars, but; of the' labour and the cost
of ascending. But“toconsumenate this great un
dertaking all the spaie r resources of Philadelphia
and Pittsburg are to be carefully appropriated."-
: Then in reference bath.... trade of the Lakes, ha
thinks a direct road to Erie would be, most advan
tageous—at least it wriuld be preferable to a con
nection at Cleveland from Pittsburg. At thetown
of Eric, however, we , :would er 4 couritell the oppo
sition of the New York and Erie Itailrbad," and
after many arguments' to prove'that Nev York
would 1 , run away with the trade," he takes a
"few miles" . from the one side and adds them , to
the distance on the other, to enable' him to estab
lish the position. But the surveys as published
in the several reports show the distance as follows:
From New ,York: to ,Pierniont 22 miles

Then from the profile of the. road it appears there
are from.ls to 20 snments,antrthat the maximum
grade going Cast is 68 feet to the mile—going west
67—and from a table!published in the Sarno re
port, it appears that an engine of 20 tons' weight
will carry upor. a grade, of 20 feet rise to the mile,
185 tons. As this is the grade of the Sunbury
nod Erie, with the-exception of that portion near
the town of Ene,,called Lebeauf summit, we may
fix this as the matirmimi of our route—on a grade
45 feet to the mile 107 tons would be the maxi
mum of the engine-4mi a grade 68 feet to the
mile the maximum would be 74 tons.

Leaving a difference in. favor:of the Sunbur . l and

follow the data for the wear, .the tear andlihe oth;

per mile is the estimate—which on 518 miles
would bo equal to $103,60 for the distance on the
New York and Erie, and $64,60 on the SunbarY
and Erie—quite enoUgh.we.sheuld thinklto ever
come "the superior commercial advantages of the
