'the Khdier-doll,) thence by that Valley to Lynn

pursuing Windsor Furnace Brook to Maiden :
Crial, thence by Lershartsville np Lenhart's Run
(acting parallel with the sta.fa Road) to' its soars
ees, thou cutting through into Mill Creek, a tritr
wry of the Saucetty, and thence by waters of the
Little Lehigh mud Cedar Creek to Allentown.—
This route coincides very nearly with that ludic-sa
ted by Mr. Osiionie's reconnoissance. . •
Although both these lines deserve, and should
receive an instrumental . examination - of their
merits -prior to deciding finally 'upon the route,
neither of thole, or any ether penetrating the bin*
of the slate hills north of the St - moony, will - be
in the opinion of the writer,-tir, fulfil the
eunditions required in the contemplated railway..
It may here _be added that the Middle Route,
(.No. 21 though the shortest , feasible line, was tried
with'instruments, and abandoned by Mr. Fisher,
-at the source of Lenhart's Run, after a surrey of
about tea miles of its western part and Mr. Os
bonnie recent:cies:ince, while indfcating its prac
ticability with , very heavy work, showed that
credos of fifty-three feet per mile would be re
quired; but as fifty-three feef grades . arc entirely
in the plan now formed for this en
terprire there Seems.to be strong reason to con
firm Mr. Fisher's decision, as to the impractica
batty of thii route fur our purposes. We come
now to consider the conditions of grade required
by this Railß4ad enterprise, and the line of coun
try that ram:its their execution.
This Rail; Road, proposed to connect the Dan
phitr and Seisquehanna, through the Lehigh Val
ley, with the Central Rail Road of New - Jersey,
has, fur one of its leading objects, to open a new
route ter the Anthracite Coal uS e Penusylvanin, di
rect to the 'waters of New York Harbor.
The Central Rail Road of New Jersey, con
structed vtith a similar design, lins..no grades
against the Ooal trade exceeding - twenty-two feet
per mile, - ascending ; and the maximum grade
• of the Dauphin. and Susquehanna Railroad, op..
posed to. thearatfiie between the Coal mines and
Auburn, Was laid out at fhe same ratio.
It is evident, then, that upon the Rail Road
link connecting these two works, (through the
level and descending grades of the Lehigh Valley
flail Road,) nu gradient facing west can be admit
ted to exceed twenty two feet per mile ascending,
and this requirement,will be found to control, in
a great degree, the direction that the - location of
- this lino must take.
The surveys of Mr. Fisher, and especially those
more recently executed by Dr:Samuels, indicate,
clearly, that not only can this favorable graded
'ion be easily maintain d, but that the southern
mate admits our limiting the grades across: this
monde!, to oi.cteen feet per mile ascending east, and
thiroy-f wo feet per mile ascending west. ~
No route penetrating the slate hills, north of the
Valley of Ike Saueony, 'will adinit gradients of
the limit now announced, and we may, therefore,
for abe„present purposes of this -report, dismiss
the ,further consideration of the 'Northern and
Middle Routest, (Nos. 1 and 2.)
' southern [route.—This route, leaving Purt
Allititun at an elevation of twenty or thirty feeii
, I ..ibove the rails of the Little Schuylkill Rail - Road,
— and connecting with that work by a side line, will
plirsue the Maiu Valley of the Schuylkill with an I
ascending grade of sixteen feet per mile, clinging I
to the side of the Blue. Mountain, and passing '
through the Schuylkill Gap, bears to the eastward
by the voile* of Kern's lion, curves around its
head, cuts diagonally through the slate region,
availing of the lowe*llepression of the ridges, I
though encounterinfeneler two small tunnels and
some very heavy earthworks, passes Seller's Tay
ern, and finally, by Mengel'a Run, gains the right
bank of Maiden Creek, near. Dreibelbis's Tavern,
opposite the mouth of the Saucony, at a very fa
voitadc place for a high bridge.
Passing .Maiden Creek, (hero called: the Ante
lawny,) by a bridge about four hundred feet long;
with a grade level elevated near sixty feet above
the water, the line will strike - the right bank of
the uny, and ascend that stream by a grade
of sixteen feet per mile, to a point about one-third
' of, a mite north of Kutztown, Berke County.
~ At letitztown, the line having turned or avoided
the. -9,1 y of the "Slate Bills," is fairly within the
Lime:tog , : Formation, with an open and gently
undulating country before it to the eastward.—
Here it leaves the .Saucony, and runs by a Very
direct course ti: Metzgar's Gap, (a small deems,-
- shin in the low ridge dividing the Schuylkill and
Lehigh,) passing throub this ridge by a moderate
r cut, and turning Rauee 41111 by the• south,. the
line descends by a grade id-about twenty feet per
- mile to Spring Creek, a tributary of the Little Le
high near Trexlerstown ; here an ascending grade
of sixteen Meet per mile will be commenced, and
' continued by a very straight course, until the
. summit of the Chapparel Ridge is surmounted, at
• a depression about three-fourths of a mile north
of the Readiug Road. -At this point the line
passe' on to ;:ir Creek, and descending by the
•
sole slopes of its valley with a grade of thirty-two
feet per Mile, f keeping generally north of the
Reading (toad,) ultimately crosses the valley near
the main runt!, and by a moderate deep cut over
the neck, or promontory, between the two streams,.
• rear:tics the Little Lehigh, south - Of Allentown;
• anil pursues it to a junction with the Lehigh Val
ley lt.til Road, near the mouth of that stream.
The lints above describid will be about, thirty
elg/kt hales long, from Auburn to the Lehigh Val
ley Rail Road at Allentown—it will have - no gra
dient est-ending 'east exceeding sixteen feet per
mild 1201143 ascending west exceeding thirty
two feet per mile;
nor will its grade at any point
rise to a greater elevation than-seventy feet above
' the proposed level at Port Clinton.- .
The air line computed by Dr. Samuels, between
Allentown - and Port Clinton, is thirty miles in
length—the Rail itofia distance is thirty-throe
miles. From Allentown to Auburn the air line is
about thirty-four miles, and the Rail Road dis
tance about thirty-eight.
The hail hued distance, therefore, by our south
ern flue; will exceed an air line drawn from Allen
. town . to Auburn Tay tea per s.
N.: curvatures between Auburn and Hamburg
will have less radius than one thousand feet, and
none between Hamburg and Allentown faced be
turned upon a radius less than one thousand four
hundred WO thirty-two feet.
.A very important modification of our southern
route suggests itself tietwaen Allentown and Katz
t .wn that demands a careful instrumental investi
gation—it is to leave Allentown- by the Valley -of
. ' the le ale Lehigh, ascendthat valley to •a - point
near Ludwig's Mill, when( a small stream draining
LI long valley (locally called Toad Creek) falls in
to the Little Lehigh; thence by the fine valley of
'foam Creek and a very direct line passing north
of Mere:town we should regain our route near
Kutztown. This deviation would place our line
'61.1 entirely new ground for eighteen miles x on the
Alleutown side; it would turn the Clllapparel
Ridge ' unit throw that summit entirely out, while
it would enable idle substitute a grade of about
twenty feet per mile, - 7aseeniling west, in lieu of
the thinly-too feet grade . required to command the
secant by Cedr,r_Creek, and finally would pass the
division of the waters of the Schuylkill and Le
high 4ei a euvitait about fifty ifeet lower.. That
' these are very important ,adrantages cannot be
dueled; but outhe other baud; the Little. Lehigh
}coal/ encounter much more level curvature,
nituicrous bridges, and a loss of dirtance of ftbout
. tiro vales. • A cheaper graduation is also claimed
, full this route, but the. nectlity of shortening it
us bawl: as possible would so strong as to
ro
quire a bold location, which, linahe opinion of the
writer, would annul the anticipated economy. It
"must also be observed thatls reduction of grade,
• ascending west, is couiparat yelp of small import
enee, as the through trains would have to feed fur
the thirty-two feet grade tb be encountered on
Lahti parts of the route. 1
Nevertheless, I repeat, ts Little Lehigh line
demands, and should receive, the most careful in
. vestigation Lefore.linally devilling upon our loca
tion. r 11' on a careful instrumental survey,.the
Little Lehigh route should be adopted, It will af
ford an unexpected, yet most important Rail Read
, combination.
About a mile west of Emans; (Lehigh County,)
a very Low Gap, called Delbert's Gap, cute the
South Mountain to its base, and is the only Zap
which severs this mountain, between the Lehigh.
and Schuylkill rivers, so as to allow a Rail Road
line to pass oat of this limestone valley, into the
lower country.

and an air line drawn upon the State map, from
New York to the month of: the Juniata, passes,
nearly through Allentown and through the mouth
of the Saucony, where our Southern Route crosses
Maiden Creek'; while the air, lino from : New York

At Port Clinton, the Oailwrly under considera
tion will connect with the Little Schuylkill Rail
Road, a work already tarrying a Coal business of
nearly 500,000 tons per', annuth—{in 1854,444,1841
tons)—and,by an extension of six miles in the
valley , of the achuylkik the 4iine Hill Rail Road
can bo brought by a good hue, from Schuylkill
Haven to Auburn, and:this work in 1854; convey
ed a Coal tonnage of 11227,805 tone.
These two Rail Roads are Controlled by parties
entirely independent of the present transporting
works in the valley ef the Schuylkill, and influ
enced by neither—in the yea* 1854, they had al•
ready a combined tonnage of 1,671,989 tons, and
by the time.the Auburn and Allentown Rail Road
can'be 6nishdd, will prubibly be carrying 2,000,-
000 tons of Coal per at)num. .
A large portion of this Coal, now seeks its mar
ket in the waters of-New York; or passes there in
its course to farther °olden Marts.
With a shorter and lipeedia transportingline—
if - suitable arrangements for its.reeeption are
timely made, there eanuot be' a doubt, that the di
rect Rail Road frum Sckoltill Haven and Au-1
burn; to New York litirbor, will be able largely
and profitably to shard this heavy Coal trade, the'
whole of which is now forged to take the circuit
ous and expensive rotkie by Philadelphia. •
The Rail Road distance frOin Schuylkill Haven .
to Hlizabethport, at the mouth of. Newark Bay,
via - Auburn, Allentowil, and Easton, will be one 1
hundred and twenty-four 'miles, (only thirty-five
miles further than Pot Richmond, the great Coal
depot of Philadetphia)--and with the moderate
investment these lines! will have the advantage of 1
entering into this trade with the ample experience 1
of the present day—With improved . , machinery—
and with a strong support from other sources oil
business—it is the deliberate opinion of the wrii
ter based upon a long familiarity with the Coal
trade,, that Anthracite Coal' taken by this route
can be profitably moved from Schuylkill Haven to
the waters of New lark harbor, •at leas than two
dodoes per ma, and deliverod in the hold of eves

press, of Philadelphia generally, in eyeln trio
ial matters. From the mere fact of it4bitua
discourtesy to the country press, up fa:impor
tant movements of a public' nature tilire has
been and is exhibited an illiberality, 81d ten
• 'dency . to be influenced by unworthy. *tires, •
which' is far from creditable, and which. places
the press of Philadelphia in
, an . uniftiviable
light, when compared for ihstance with the
whole souled, generous spiriifivhich tinimates
the New York press. Some years sinKe; when
an article expressive of the views ofthe citi
zens of Schuylkill County, on the quOition Of
Coal Corporations, was offered to tfleading
paper of Philadelphia by a prothinentitizen,
one half of the article was pnblish,id, with"
the promise that the balance should•;•appear
the following day. The petty spirit., pawever,
which was fearful of offending sdine pri
vate interest, deterred the promise:tt publi-
cation, and it never. appeared. Tile : same
miserable, petty . feeling as exhibited in
that and kindred matters, actuates the mass
of the city towards the country press. We
think tat the country press of Penttlranitt,
as a body, will compare favorably iiV„ith . I that
t ii
of the city , ' itt'point of ability and '
enter rise,
and we wonder at their studied negle4o i • that
fraternal recognition, and courtesy ibiCh so
eminently distinguishes the city press'pf other
-
sections of the Union. Unfortunai-A9y, I how
ever, the Same spirit which aetuatekfi t the
.-..-
laudation of, and then disparagement and
,-.
finally suppre i ssed a. telegraphic despatc sta
ting. that the' statue which now adPrn our
Monument, had finally reached its p4sitrn on
the column, animates the, press of Ph ladel
phia, in its intercourse with the country press.
thy, anything of importance to tho•Juterests
of the State, and in which even Phliadidpbia
is deeply interested, if published ori#inilly,ln
,a country paper, is permitted to hard priority
of publication in the columns of papers out
of the State, and then it' copied at al(', ini place
of being published in extemo, andwith the
proper, manly acknOwledgment of the source
from whence obtained, is noticed in a btlid
- paragraph, and in a spirit ill becoming ht
I d
press of the 1 metropolis of a great s:tate. It
is quick, however, to injure, as tlik Led ler
_ exhibited a tew days since, by the Pnblicat on
under its Toney head, of a rascally arti le,
intended to epieciate the Coal of ..Schuyl 11
County. T e shot, however, we aril' , gratified
to know 7 re oiled with fearful effect; upon tke
writer, and a a manner least expeeted. ,
These ar small matters, it is tope ; but it
is in small atters, that the press we refer to,
is great. hen, for instance, the? Reading
Railroad was projected, the SelinYlkill Nav
igation engrossed all their attention; and
neither influence nor money could procure
the insertion into the columns Of! a single
Philadelphia paper—except one-4f an arti
cle ;favorable td its construction. i - AVe know
that - articles advocating the construction of
that road were published in the Misers' Jour
nal; Which could not find their wiiv into
. the
colUrims of. the Philadelphia pre, even as
advertisements. This is the spit which we
refer to, which was and is char4teristic of
I that press, as a mass. The result a this Tier
' rdw•minded, illiberal policy, is peieeptible in
the rtiann4r in which trade and bUsiness men
ate driven: from Philadelphia to !ew York ;
for such
,is actually the case. The narrow,
contmetei policy of Philadelphia towards the
Coal Trade, particularly that' ofiSchuylkill
County, ii.l actuated we' presume,:zhy the fact
that it eibraces Individual Oir.:rator.!, and
not Corpuntions. Those Openitiws appear
unworthyof notice, except to be Found fault
with, white at the same time, the!,,Columns of,
the pressl of 'Philadelphia teem iYith the re
ports of goal Compani‘s, nine -tenths of which
associations re 'manufactured tis! order, for
-the mere pu pose of duping "gOen-horits,"
and swindle t em out of their Mitney. It is

trade which she has enjoyed entire:. How has
it been treated in Philadelphia?.;Has it ever
enjoyed any peculiar facilities? ,Is 'not the

of the "cold shoulder," while the

It is true Philadelphia has , done nitwit , in
this Region, and were it accompanied by is
proper spirit 'on th4:tpart' of her_ press and
business community, * - re shOald not complain.
As far as we are concerned, there never , has
beeri nor is not ;arty hostility' to Philadelphia.
So_ far from that, it is well known that we have
always defended Philiadelphia interests, even
'when by adopting 'Ol4 course, *e have crea
ted hostility against ourselves. While:we con
tinue to cherish thogti feelings for Philadel
phia,
we will condemn the spirit which ap-
Rearain return to antmate Philadelphia, and
provoke Opposition, fetal to the welfare of the
most lucrative trade she possesses. The North
American may'addnej3 instance-after instance
of Coal corporations Thriving in other sections
of the country; but bur coternporary should
incite that,the air of;Schuylkill County is fa
tal'to their healthy hXistenee; We have yet
:to learn that t
any—erih one; exception—have
proved profitable to their projectors. To in
dividual operators in ihe Coal trade is Schuyl
kill and Phi4delphia . indebted for the
Trosperity attendant upon its protecntion;
and oar cotemporart errs in ascribing in.so
great a measure; to philadelphia capital and
coal corporations these improvemeuts which
now dot the entire length of our Region. In
fact, it is simply ridiculous to assert that Phil
ad_elphia interests, Inive developed the wealth I
of this Region. The editor who makes the
assertion must either be wofully ignorant iu
regard to the causes which have , operated
principally in the development - of the mineral
wealth of the Region, and ; the introduction of
consequent improveinents, or he musCintend
a direct insult to tlui intelligence of his 'read
ers. Either horn of, the dilemma attaches to
the North American in this matter.
In eonclusion thi4 week, we would remark
that the New York Railroad, referred to by
the North Anzerica4, has been no pet of ours.
We were' opposed nithis connection, believing
that this Region could be benefitted more by
throwing its trade into Philadelphia. But as
the grading of it; contemplated Road to
New York appeart(so favorable ; as our sug
gestions for her welfare, have always been
received coldly by Philadelphia, and either op
posed or not aided,4articularly by the press
of that city, we as well as the whole Coal
Trade of Schuylkill County, will rejoice at
the prospect of the opening of an outlet, by
which an escape frirm the deadening influen
ces of Philadelphin ma uagement on the' Coal ;
Trade of this Region can be effected. War
of space forbids at the present time, farther
comment on this subject.

_Or lligh Robhery, Burglar, and Assault.
—A yourig , ranu by tlio name of Williara.PornOy,
was attacked OEI rubbed by four Irishmen!!! at
"Scalping" to*u, near the East Mines, about one
mile from Fot.tiville; on Wednesday noon. lio
was demingifrom St Clair to Pottsville with two
hundred and tionty.nne dollars, fur the purpose
of sending 0;3 money by express to Philadelphia;
but when atAcalping town, the four mon, before
alluded to, Met him, apparently by apreconcerted
movement, and told htm to deliver up his money dr
they would take his, fife. Forney, who is a car
penter, andisn active and determined young man,
replied, that they should take his ,life before las
money; andput himself in a posture of defence,
upon; which the four bloodthirsty villains rushed
upori him With their fists; but Forney's science at
fisticuffs was too meth for the paddies, and kept'
them at bay for a few minutes; yet the ruffians
were not thni to be foiled. One of them drew a'
dagger and; inside a ditip_eratathrust at the victim's
breast, butfortunatelY, he received the Stroke in the
arw, and at the same moment ho was struck on
the back of the hea' with a largo stone, senseless,
and felled to the earth.
The cut-throats then rifled his pockets, and left
him lying on! the road. It is strange, that in a re
gion so thickly inhabited as the • road from-St.
Clair to Pot.tiville id, that an assault - of such a
characiefshaiild be permitted to proceed, and the
robbers to escape in,open daylight; but the mis
fortune is, ; tbat i there are too many of the same_:
kind in that vicinity. Wo have been told it is
scarcely safe for any person • but an Irishman to
traica threugh thiS samo appropriately named
"Scalping.town." Several persons have been beat
and stoned there lately.
It appears that a band of organized robbers ex
ists among us,as desperate and as bold as over ex
isted in the days ofTurpin or Shop Para; and as
careless of, consequences as if. there were no offi
cers to fear; and indeed, wo think our lives and
property would be more safe,' and our laws more
respected , :and obeyed, if these guardians were
more watchful, determined anti severe on exam
ples.
It is geeerally supposed, that a part, if not all
of these men who robbed Yorney, were the same
who entered Mr. Giltillan'a store on Saturday
night ate fort Carbon. They entered the, store
through the,lights above, the door and opened it
from thelnside. After taking all the money they
could find in the drawers, which fortunately was
not much; they wore proceeding up stairs when,
tho alarmyas giro, and the burglars decamped
. . .
in all hasth. Mr. Snyder's Saddlery was also en
tered on Monday night and about ninety dollars
taken out.of his pocket while ho was asleep.
There appears to be but little energy exerted
by the nudiorities in this region to prevent such
outrages; .(4';to apPrehenci and punish the perpetra
tors of them. ylti hair's that kind of people to
deal with; is many parts of our communitY, 'who
want to lie kept within the &minds ,of justice by
the strong arm 'of the law, .or. else oven life and
property would not be or fetich value; but it is
as much '4 fault Of the people as the Authorities;
which are not adequate. IThere seems l to be an ap
athy existing amain thelcitizens on this subject,
and as Bing as individuals and their frienas do
not feel the immediate effects of such lawlessness,
they thibli that they are safe, and therefore make
no exertleris to help our officers or sustain them
when ntice6sary.
