Roamers, Esq., at the Railroad Meeting, on Friday evening, which contains, in a condensed form, all the information which is pro. bably necessary to enable our readers to make - op , their minds in relation to that route. We cont. mend it to the careful attention of every one 'who feels on interest in the future progress of PitUr burgh to wealth and greatness Out readers have learned from our yesterday's paper, that the Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad Company, is now completely organized, by the election of Wsi. Roeretos, Jr. Esq, as permanent President of the Company, he having heretofore held thin relation pro rem. From the well-known energy, ability, and perseverance of GIL ROBERSON, !! our citizens have a sure guaranty that nothing will be left undone necessary to urge to a speedy commencement and early completion, the great and 1 noble work he has undertaken. If any thing can add to Col. Rohinson's high financial and business character in this community, It will be assured on the da7 he has the proud satisfaction of starting a Locomotive from Pittsburgh, fur the immense mar kets of the great and growing %eat and North `Vest, which will then be opened up to us. cOar readers have also learned, that the Board lifre sanctioned the choice of route, by their p - able Engineer, which we announced some weeks w since, which leaves the Ohio river at Beaver, and penetrates at once to the table lands of Ohio, near Salem, and that they have resolved to locate and prepare for contract, forty miles of the route imme. diately. This shows that the Directors are in ear nost—that depending on the hearty inNoperation of the people of these cities, and of those who reside near the route, they have resolved, like brave men. to go to tnork,—and there is no reason to feat that they will be fully sustained and entirely successful in the undertaking. The forty mites will overcome all the real dub ceukies of the route. The remainder will be easy and cheap; and it the people of Stark, Wayne and Richland counties, subscnbe a liberal amount of stock, the mote will be located and pat under.con tract to Mansfield by the close of the next yeav whicli, when completed, will give us a .Railroad connection with the Lakes and with Cincinnati, and will open up to ua a business and a market not ex• ceeded by any Railroad in the whole Union. • Truly, a hnght day of great prosperity, to dawn• ink; upon Pittsburgh. THE ERIE RAILROAD The Tribune says that this great work—gigantic in its extent, and national in its character and re sults, despite the Minoru insurmountable physical objects which opposed it, will certainly unite the Hudson with the valley of the Susquehanna!' on the lit of Jan. 1049. The editor of that paperhas been on a tour along the whole line of the read, from near the summit of the ridge which divides the waters of the Delaware from those of the Sus.- quehannah, some 25 miles cast of BingLampton, down to the eastern terminus on the Hudson, ut Pierpout. From Bitighammon to Port Jarvis, a distance origami 130 miles, the grading, bridging. mason work. Sc, are all completed, except at three nr four points, where some two or three weeks farther tune is required to render the road ready for the rails. These points, are, respectively, at The Summit, Cars Rock. Bridge at thel.mouth of the Lacka:.vuxen, and the Bridge crossing the Delaware'at the head of the Glass House Works. The mas.in work is finished at both the Bridges.— The Umber attlie Lackawaxen is all on the ground and the bridge can be completed in twenty days. Napoleon, with his corps of Engineers, would not have reqired uaorre than half that time. The bridge across the Delaware is almost finished, and twee. ty days is ample time with a proper force upon . it, to complete all but the roof. Ninety nine miles of the hundred and thirty are already laid with the rail, and the iron fir the remainder, atithe •unfinish. ed points, is an the ground.—Buralo Ceres From. Ilingliampton to the Lase, the road has some 270 miles further to go, over a very ditlicillt country most of the way. It keeps along the val leys of the head waters of the Susquehanna for a great distance, when it aroraes over into the valley of the Allegheny. and follows that stream to Lodian village, aboat half way between Olean in New York, and Warren in Pennsylvania. By Slack , water navigation of the Allegheny to Indian Vil lage re Olean, we should, when the Erie rail road rea‘hei. the Allegheny valley, have a directe, callent northern route to Itiew York. and Boston, except in the winter season, when the river is frozen. A Railroad, however, up the Allegheny over to the nearest point of intersection with the Erie road, Is the improvement which ought, and will finally be made. The route to altogether feasible, and would pay we!i, passing through a rapidly irapro ving country. destitute Edell facilities except those afforded by the over during the fall and spring freshets. Such a maid would directly connect the Ohio valley with Western New York, and all the unpowernents in that region, extending to the Eastern States. Speaking. of the improvement of the Allegheny nver, reminds as, that our representative, Mr. lissr.rrtis, during (glow session of Congress, pro cured the insertion, in the Internal Improvement Bill before the House, of an appropriation for a careful survey of the Allegheny river. That bill failed through the opposition of Mr. Polk's admin. istration, but that important appropriation for Pitts burgh, will be attended to when the first Improve. meat bill passes under Gen. Taylor's adminiatra. Arronarracrr or Ann Tent GENEEL4I.—We pai n from Harnsburg that the Governor has appomed Capt. W.

RAIL ROAD Address of Solomon W. Eloborto. CULLY Swam= or me Onto MID Ps oUVILVAXIA of the chi 640 tie rii4lll)eati gad Tissid,,triwe RAS; thirignest of thei Directors pf the 'Ohk; and Pennsylvania Rail Road Company, of which bons pan.), 1 am the Chief Engineer, I have explained our surrey's — With Ai; aid of maps end documents, and now propose to conclude with the follow ing address' A charter of the most liberal character was , granted 'fast spring by the 'Legislatures ofOluo still Pennsylvania, giving the company similar powers I in both States, with the right to construct a rail rothrfrom Pittsburgh westw e ard to Mansfield, a di.. lance of 151 miles, and with the option of extends tag it farther, or ending it there. The charter provides that each share of stock shall have a vote, so that those who subscribe the most will control the management of the road.— The names of the States were given to the company to mark the intention of making this the main con necting link between these two great. free States, which stand side by side, divided bus by an imagi. nary tine, and although they now contain more than km, millions of people, have as yet no rail road connection. How long lb. 'shall be the case depends very much upon the course to be pursued by the gen tlemen now present. The rood terminates at Pitts burgh. When made, it will be to Pittsburgh what the western rail road of Massachusetts now is to Boston. And as Boston now ice , in the East, the central star of a constellation of towns, connected with it on every side by radiating bridges, and contributing to swell its population, wealth, sad prosperity; so will it be with Pittsburgh, in the West, when your western rail road is finished. Soon after the charter was obtained, the compa ny was organized, and, on the 11th of July loot, the surveys were begun under my direction. Since then they have bean diligently prosecuted by two surveying parties, in charge of Mr. Straughau and Mr. Warner, who are trust.worthy,competent, and experienced civil engineers I had the honor to be selected by this Board as the Chief Engineer of the Company, beeaaae they knew me to be free from local interest or bias, and determined to re commend the best route, without regard to the per. sonel in fl uence or local interest of any one. By pursuing this course, we hope to deserve and to receive the public confidence, without which no work in our country can ever be permanently pros perousc sad, by adopting the best route, we shall render successful rivalry impossible. I was not restricted by the Board as to the metre to be surveyed, but was requested to survey all that I might think necessary to satisfy my own mind as to which was the most desirable for Penn sylvania capitahsta to adopt. tin no other terms would I have accepted the appointment of Chiet Engineer of the company; for, daring the twenty years that I have been engaged in engineering, I have uniformly labored to simplify and to improve the public works leading to Philadelphia, which has always been my home. And from the dine which, in 1831, as Principal Assistant Engineer, I commenced the location of the Portage Rail Road over the Allegheny Mountain—rn what was then a dark and dreary wilderness--1 have striven to unite the commercial interests of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The item. of James Watt adapted the steam engine to manufacturing purposes, Oliver Evans simplified it, and Fulton applied it to steam nevi. gab°. The last two were fellow citizens of our own State of Pennsylvania, the key stone of the arch of our government, .d the central State of the old thirteen that first formed the Federal Union. Coal and iron are our great staples, and cheap coal is the parent of cheap iron. Together they stand, like the pillars of Fierce les,and on them rests the vast fabric of modern physical civilization. This is en. peeially true since the locomotive was started, by George Stephenson, upon the two parallel piece. of iron which constitute the modem railway, Ile began life a poor-collier boy, of the lowest class, in a coal mine in England; and he died n few weeks ago, at the bead of the profession of civil engineer mg, and honored by his whole country as one of her most useful citizens. Twenty years have not elapsed since the Liver pool and Manchester railway was opened, and now almost every manufacturing and commercial city .n England and America has one or more rail roads. Pittsburgh is an yet an exception, but I feel certain !hat it will not long remain no. It is for you to take advontage of the experience of others, and to concentrate your energies upon , the best mute for one main feeatcril line. Satire it not to - be - diverted from its true coarse by the in terested earns of nye' towns or villages and then those places that do not happee to be upon the main ,trunk will soon make their own branch es. which, running in like tnbutary stream. into n mighty river, will add to the profits of your road. nail pour their eceumulated treasures of trade and travel into your city. • Without going into a lengthened comparison at Luis b ..e, of cartoon lines which have been urged upon your attention by did erect interests, lam now prepared to say, that alter studying the subject for some months with earnest attention, and with t, n:d of extensive and ...mate instromental sur reys, I am fully satisfied that the beet Western Railroad mute for the interests of ?Mahwah and itt the State of Pennsylvania, is that which passes down the Ohio to the mouth of Big Beaver; and i leaves the river at that point. Front there it risen' to the level of the table Wads of Ohm, which must be reached by an; such road; and. running near to Salem, passes by Canton, and crosses the Ohio canal at Masstllon, the great wheat mart of Ohio. whieh is 101 miles from Pittsburgh. From Massillon, the line runs westward to Wco► ter and Nlanstield, and our surveys have been ez• tended to Bucyrus. 24 miles further West Thin line follows the north eastern bank of the Ohio river trom Pittsburgh to Beaver, and me genera! course of the stream being very straight between these two points. the distance by railroad is but '25 aides. There is On place between Pitts burgh arid Beaver where the line can diverge from the valley of the river, the mouth of the Big Beaver being the bent practicable point of itiVergenee. By leaving the over at that point, we thanes our tee to the west several miles, and we have lower commits to cross than by way of the hues which are urged upon the public attention by local in icretua, anxious to bead op totes lower down the over, nod within the hounds of the State of It is clearly the interest of Pittsburgh that the Great Western Railroad should come to Pitts burgh. and the interest of the State of Pennaylva• nit is identical with that of your city. A union orradroads is only desirable when it is a union upon the nght route; otherwise—like Limed marriage--it will end unhappily, and the parties would have been better apart. The three noble rivers that wash the shores of your flourishing metropolis, give her. indeed, by nature, a commanding position. But as the-in vention of tire arms took away from natural strength a great proportion of as unportance nn die oroggles of war, so the invention of railroads has taken from navigable communwanons s great proportion of their importance in the struggles of towns fur commercial superiority A Railroad is a kind of artificial nver, the branches of which are capable of indefinite ex. tension, without regard to a supply. of water. Sup pose, then, that by no artificial means, a new river adapted to steam navigation, could be opened Iran Cleveland, on Lake line, to a point on the Ohio. :"o0 miles South of Pittsburgh, would not every co !men of Pittsburgh be thunderstruck at the news that his city bad practically ceased to be at the head of the Ohio' Would not the men of Wheel. mg rejoice beyond measure, and would not the fortune of every• man be maths who owned real estate near the mouth of the river thus supposed to be opened' , This new point would then cease to be a way port for steamboats merely to touch at, and the forest of chimneys which now black en the banks of the Monongahela, would no long er annoy the visitorto Pittsburgh, for they would at once be restored ton plane fifty miles off, and to another State. What would be true of a nver, is more or leas true of a railroad, and especially so in respect to passengers'and the most valuable mer chandise. The inference is too plaid to need ex planation,. and although we Pennsylvanians may not be as wise as the wise men of the east, we at least have common sense enough to refrain from committing commercial suicide . I do not propose in this connexion, to discuss the question of a line which natt been suggested, to strike the Ohio from the West still further down, and nearer to Wheeling than the mouth of Yellow 'Creek, and to come to Pittsburgh by bridging your mighty none, and by crossing through the territory of Virginia. Such a line would commit the inter ests of Pennsylvania to the legislation of the State of Virginia, which is now making great efforts to become-the railroad thoroughfare of the W4st. Maryland has no front upon the Ohio river. bat at tar a Long negotlattoo, her great Railroad aempriny has made an agreement with the city of Wheeling to make that point its terminus, and Wheeling bile agreed to furnish ground far a depot free of charge, and no subscribe half, million to the railroad stock, besides which the c tizens of Wheeling are now actively engaged in bridging the Ohio. at an ex pense of about a quarter of a million of dollars. New York has her railroad from Albany to Hof. filo, which you know very well has diverted a vas amount of western travel (rain Pittsburgh, try means of the railroad recently opened from the oluo river at Cincinnati, northwest to Lake Ene. Two other railroads are in progress in Ohio, to connect the river with the Lake, and the New York and Erie Railroad is to be finished to Dur, kirk in 1550. Our State is also threatened with the making of a railroad along the southern shore of Lake Erie. the most dangerous rival to the pub. tic works of Pennsylvania that can be constructed. Will this great city of 70,000 people sit idly by and see these vast iron arms extended around her, to drain the produce and furnish the supplies of that immense western region of which this is the natural mart? It cannot be. The hour has come for action, and for the most vigorous and determin. ed action. Nothing else brill answer the purpose, and every true Pittsburgher must see it. Whoev er advocates delay is no true friend to the Western Railroad. Let it be a universal popular movement, like that which shook Philadelphia to its centre, when the stock of the Pennsylvania RallrOaclwas ' taken;—that great road, the palladium of the mm. monwenlth, which will soon baud Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in bonds of brotherhood which will ever be broken Within three years, If the requisite means were provided, tbeikcomotive engines from Philadelphia and from Cincinnati might meet in Pittsburgh—the half way house on their long journey; and that event might then be hailed as the proudest era in the annals of yoar iron city. Now, the charter of the Ohio and Perinsyivazia Rail Road CiriaPiury is the only on, in existence under which any one in authorized to accomplish this object. It wan passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania for this very purpose, and you can coots ol it, if you dooms. How can thin best be , accomplished? Certainly Act by nunedy holding moeurigs and talking about -404,4 the moor--will lea by holding public and pwhav angry discussions between the intama , W advt.- mum of rival loans and 'Magee, wittiong to be made potato upon the main line.

Philadel phia rang' with their assertiOna, and the newspas pers were crammed with their . calculations. We attended their meetings and' took notes;' nut we never interrupted them. We answered them thro' the press, and at meetings-of our own. Their op position really aided no by drawing attention to the subject. We carried public opinion with an like an irresistible torrent. We appointed committees and went round from house to boosei,.and front store to store,and we asked every one . .sultscribe, if there seemed to be the leant channe.of Ida doing it. If he could not, or would not, do more, we ask ed him to take one share for our city's sake. I have gone into the shops of the poorest mechanics and done this. We did it for the love of Phila. delphia, and we are now beginning to reap our reward in the rapid progress of her great enter. prise. Astre did then, you moot do now—and as a multitude of rain drops make the river, many small sums will make your rail road. The owners of lands and of town lots upon the West Branch of the Susquehanna denounced us, and refused to help us and tried to stop on. They were determined that if the Company would not adopt their line, they should not make any line; but in thin they signally ailed. Their "dog in the man. ger" policy amounted to nothing, and their opposi non Ilea almost ceased to be remembered, except as one of the lessons of the past. I am anxious that Philadelphia and Pittsburgh should obtain the best and shortest railroad line, not only to Canton, Monition and the west, bet also to the beautiful city of Cleveland on Lake Erie. By adopting the route which I recommend that object will be accomplished; and by intersecting the Cleveland railroad near Mount Union, which we are authorised by law to do, more than half the distance between Pittsburgh and Cleveland will be travelled upon the line of the Ohio and Pennsyl vania Railroad. The distance between the two cities will be about 135 miles, and the line will probably traverse the great field of excellent cannel coal, near Dar lington, in Beaver county, which now has no ave. nee to market. Rut important as the connection with Cleveland is, it is less so than that with the counties traversed by our main line; which are shown by official re turns to be among the wealthiest counties of the State of Ohio. We open up at once a populous country, which has neither turnpike, canal, steam.. boat, nor railroad communications. A line down the river must be crowded into a narrow spate, between the river and the hills, and must run In constant competition with the steamboats; and a line following a canal route in open in some degree to similar objections The inland line, which we recommend panties over the table lands of Ohio; our surveys show that it can readily be constructed, it will command an amount of way busies..., from both sides of it, which will pay an ample taterest on its cost; and by means of its connections, it will become, we be hese. the great highway of a district of country, which already contains seven millions of people sod is improving timer than any other part of the world.

It is now well ascertained that the great bulk of orders that have been in Our market fur dour for England have been withdrawn, or placed at a fig. ore far below what receivers here will accept.— Some shippers offer $.5,25 for good brands but this is equal to retiring from the market. Englishletten, to speaking of the future pros. pacts of the trade, do not encourage shipments from this side. Upon the Ist of February, the Corn lawn of England, so long adhered to, expire, and tree trade to bread will be maimed.
