CHIPPSIWA INDIANS Delegation of twelve Chippewa Indians, six pf Whinni are chiefs, from -the country near the Loyd of take Superior, are now in this city, on their ',,wity to Washington. As the object of the tniiekm of these Indians is of a .very interesting character, and as they Aeserve and need the sym• Fables and assistance of our citizens, we ask their attention while we present their case before them• The deleiretton is composed of Osh-ka-bertais,' head chief of the Wisconsin River Band-rKar she.ansh, bead chief of the Viet= Desert Band: 0.• kmanali.keshlng, chief of Loo de Blondest' Band_ kfmtun.mtte, chief of Fend do Lao Band: Oug- irttawzg, head chief of Oatonepo Bend; Kli.koh, second chief of Fond do Lac Band; Misdea-te.wahs ja i head brave of Fond do Lac Band; Mom-ma. as. Sioux warrior, and two squaws, one the wife of the chief of Fond do Lac, and the other the Letter date Loc-da.Flambean chief. They are on their way to Washington, to see their Great Father, tha President, under the care of Major J. B. MAJLTVA of Sault St. Marie, an intel ligent half breed, who spe.alis their language, arid Is related to some of the chiefs. The object of their visit to Washington, Ls to obtain permission to re- main on their lands, which have been sold to the Goverturmt, and from which they are subject to be removed at any moment, to regions beyond the htigaissippi. Since the ceaaion of their kw* they have be• come averse to removal, and anticipate great evil from the breaking tip of old associations, and (crank• hag the graves oftheir fathers. They are willing to leave their roving habits, and they ask from the Government, little more than their villsges,'axid sere:tent land far farming purposes. Their object and desire is, to avail themselves ot the comforts and privileges of civilization, which if they are reclined west oldie Mississippi, they despair of ezdoying the many years, it ever. To favor their object, at L'Ance, on Lake Supe rior, the Methodist Mission has aectued all the land they could command means to procure; and the Githolie Mission has done the same, with the de. Mtn of giving email arms to the Latham under their pastoral care. At La Pointe, money wu left with the missionary at that place, at the late payment, for the parpuse of purchasing farms. A like movement him commenced at Fon Dube. Mall the mission establishments there are many Chippewas who can read and write, and who am rapidly acquiring a knowledge of the arts of civilized life. These chiefs are fine specimens of the aborigine rase-tai, well formed, and conducting themselves __whit great dignity and propriety. They are dressed in fall radian cosimme, with the usual quantity of trinkets, feathers, paint, Ito. They boiag with &inn bark canoes of fine workmanship, add aeri e= hunting implements. They also being with them the best testimonials from government agents, and others, of their chiefteacy and respectability. These primitive owners of the soil, who have on* travelled thousands of miles to beg the privi. lege of living and dying on the lands of their fathers, left La Pointe, at the head of Lake Superior, on the . 17th of October, and proceeded iq their birch co mes to the month of Le Braley thence made the tedious ascent up that river to its sources new the head yraterat_the St. Croix, thence down the St. CrOilio Stillwater, near the junction of the St. CrolF with the Mississippi. The mange between the sources or the Le Brute sad the St.Cmtz is Omit tiro miles, over which they espied their Mums and luggage. From Stillwater they crossed oger by canal to &Paul's jut below the Falls of Anthony on the 2dlsaissippi, and then too: p.a. we on a steamboat to St. Louis, taking their ca. noes with them. 'They have now been over two months on their journey, and when they arrive at Wmkappa, mill have travelled over three thous. and mita". • They 'give exhibitions on the way Gar the pur pose of meeting their expense', which are — very he a vy. We learn from Major Martell that they are now oat of mann and ale wholly dependant on the liberality of the benevolent (or the means to =eerie their journey, and accompthdt. the objects ci their misaion. We earaestly hope that our ra ta= will patronise them moat liberally, and thus cheer the Red Min's heart, while they - themselves derive instruction and amusement.

L. surouus, Dec. 271 , 1848. In a brief aotire of the debate of yesterday; the 19th ituent,on the tariff question, I probably spoke , of Mr. Haney u belonging to Pennsylvania. Reis member bons New York. It is understood that the suggestion that the portion of the Message re. !sting to the tariff should go to the committee on manufactures, originated with Mr. Greeley. His leading object, as expressed by hirosAir was that an answer should be laid before the country, to the miserable pettifogging charges and insinuations brought by Mr. Polk against former Presidents, and the great body of our statesmen and patriots who have gone before the occupant of the Presi dential chair at this time. Throughout the discuss sins, a distinct issue seemed to be made between the Whip and the Democrats, namely, protective or revenue duties. Ms. Gentry, a Tennessee Whig, took a bold and open stand for protection. To be a little more specific and accurate than I have been on this particular subject, I may my that the precise course of legislation upon the tariff, so far in this session, has been this—sin the third day of the session, Mr. Hampton requested leave to introduce a hiU to repeal the tariff act of 1148 and to restore that of 1842. The hill wee not eater Mined, because then the House had not adopted Its rules. The regular notice of the same bill wan given akw days after. Mt. Eckert, of Pennsyls vania, moved a resolution, directiog the committee on commerce to inquire into the expediency of reporting a tariff bill booed apse the principles of the tariff of 1812, which woo adopted by a small majority. Yesterday, the debate which is now peed• log, was commenced upon Mr. Ramsey. 1110Ii00, described above. The time of the House has been mainly °ennuis ed to day with the continuation of the discussion on that motion. During the morning hour, Mr. Vinton reported a bill for carrying into effect the thirteenth cuticle of the treaty with Mexico. This is intended to confer upon the President authority and right to make—with the concurrence of the Senate— the appointment of commissioner, surveyor, and secretary, to meat similar officers on the part of Mexico, in a Joint commission, to run and mark the boundary line between the two republics. Mr. Polk, it u true, has, in the cool and independent manner which is peculiarly his own, already appointed these officers, or nominated them to the Senate, but nothing will be easier than to insert a clause in this bill, or in the general appropriation bill, forbid ding a dollar to be paid to any person unless be shall have been appointed pursuant to the mallows ty of this law. Mr. Smith, of Indiana, reported a bill Mr the es tablishment of a territorial government in Gallica. Ma. It is drawn up in general conformity with the terms of old territorial government laws, and emi braces the anti slavery proviso required by the re. solution of the House, adopted on Mr. Root's ma lion on Thursday last. It is a long 'draft, contain. mg more than twenty sections, and covering twen ty one pages of foolscap. The samq committee will soon report a similar bill for the benefit of the territory of New Mexico. The Senate talked over miscellaneous subjects lot half an hour or more, and then proceeded to the consideration of Mr. Westecat's MU for the can. sion, under certain conditions, of the Flondn Ever glades to that State. These lands are covered with water, and are of no sort of account, so that it would be making an excellent trade to get them off the hands of the goverument for nothing. But Mr. Westoou proposes to cede them only on con dition of draining them and rendering them fit for settlement. Mr. Yulee rose and opposed the whole project, principally, it appeared, because be had not been advised with concerning it. and that it was km colleague's measure and out his own. The Senate net Into executive session at two o'clock, nod are understood to have passed apart some of the nominations beim them. The President elect is expected to arrive here, as I have before urrinen, soon after the heirlooms of February. He will certainly require all of • month's time to make the proper selections for ha cabinet, and those principal officers of state in which changes are made as • matter of course with change of ad ministratton. These Are arrange ments that cannot well be effected elsewhere than at the seat of government I cannot bat look with a degree of contempt upon the labors of vol notary cabinet makers, though l admit that cornet, tic. information, in respect to the krmation of the ,President's administrative conned is always inter. eating. I know of no well inkstand man who pre. tends to know any thing on the subject. Any out sider can make guesses, but apart this matter the guesses of outsiders at Pittsburgh are as good as those of outsiders at Washington. On Monday of flue week, Mr. Hampton, of your district, introduced • resolution directing the cam. mitten on Public Lands to inquire tote the expedr. envy of granting to the State of Pennsylvania one million of acres of the public lands, to be applied to the construction of venous ran roads in that State, and to be divided thus-300,000 to the Pennsylvania fitulmad-300,000 to the Pittsburgh and Connellsville—and 200,000 for the Pesuisylv. nia and Ohio Railroad; and further, to inquire in. to the expediency of making a just end equitable division of the public lands among all the Stakes of the Union. This resolution was adopted. In regard to the sobjerAorthistrsolinion, Mr. H. is of opinion that the new States have no better right to the public Lands lying within their borders than the old States; that they are the common pro perty of all. Most enormous tracts have of late years been granted away to the new States the purposes of internal improvement, without any sort of equivalent It is only fair that the old States should receive similar dominoes from their common inheritance. JUNILR. W• 3111311210,11, Dec. 21, 184 h. The great event oldie day has been the peerage, in the Rouse of Representatives, of a resolution mTered by Mr. Gott, a New York member, in. strutting the appropriate committee to bring in a bill for the abolmon of the traffic in slaves within the district. You will find in the city papers rut account of the particular manner in which it wu done, but you will not And, in the columns of the report, a description of the scene which the House presenid, from th e moment when it became cer tain th t the bill would pass, till the adjournmeeL I have often seen and beard more noisy confusion and greater vehemence of expression, but I think I never saw, in the Hone, evidences of deeper excitement, or of a more allliol3l keeling of re-. sponsthility for what was doing, and its conse quence. Mr. Stuart, of Mich's., a very sensible and discreet man, moved to reconsider the resolution, and there was a great deal of cunosity to hear what he would say, for he has heretofore usually rather leaned to the Southern view of these goes• Conic but he rs one of those north•westeru demo crats who feel very sore Ott account of the lake• warm support of gee. Cass at the South, and has been supposed inclined to retaliation. His speech, however, was cat ofiby the decision of the speaker that debate was not in order. Mr. /dolmen, c( South Carolina, called upon the Southern menthe.' to iti3VP the /loam In a body, but that motion appeared to be decidedly prima. tore, 4tr no one took the hint or his hat, nor did Mr. Holmes himself make the the door. It 111 not probable that doe movement will haw. any practical effect, so far, at lent, as concerti, the legislation of Congress at this session. The committee will, of course, obey the instructions, and will report a bill conformably to them, but it will aot probably /each the House for some weeks, and then it mast take its place on the calendar, and it will not be reached in the regular order of business. A two-thirds vote will be required to make it the special order for a pay renal a, which °recline could not be obtained I am not tiftprnoon, to send you an analysis of the vote upon the adoption of thrr 'medians, having been unable to procure s copy of the yeas and nays. As an indication of opinion upon the general question of the restriction of sta. very, no movement could have been more Import. ant, but I believe that many prudent, conscientious N en , both whirrs and democrats, regretted thine. rea l t y 0:7 Zvi, placed under of voting upon the propoaltioa at all, et this Aye, yet kit It a duty to vote in the 'affirmative. Mr. Gott proceeded in this Instance without the pas opesultathun with any one, and upon hie own i g ai v id w d idea, of richt and policy, and no dot;bt Aiachareed what he i fidi to be a ditty to tus comet gents and the nation. , Poe elfect of the pa...Ts q( snob I law 66 , 1$ respired by Ida resolution would be to brelic up, ggo fr Wave pens or prisons which ire kept op. in this dictriq kr 00 11 1 4 1 m. !Fe der" of Baltimore , and 11/chmood,-twa tamable. means. of duiffilating their business, because such depots are expressly forbidden by the lam of both Virginka and Maryland.

Of the Mese, the awful and alarming case a woman, resident in his district, who had borne eighteen children in the space of ten year.. I all now alive and kicking. Eighteen citizens of the county where she resides petition Congress to do something adequate to the emergency of the case. What was the precise character of the re lief they ask for, Ido not know. It may hare been a special act for the protection of the county and the commonwealth against this prolific mother, by a prohibition against her exhibiting further theund• ity, or by limiting her to a certain number. Her achievements, however, stupendous as 'they are, are almost equalled by the daughters of our newly acquired province of California, who begin their contributions to population at twelve ins of age, and continue them annually to a period tint I will not particularize. 11. Loeser, who hoe just ar rived from there with the wonderful wild stories and specimens, states the case of one Lady, who, at the age of thirty two, looked around upon a lively group of twenty six males and females, all her own offspring. The reputation of Pox Mn. John Rogers must pale before that of their American matrons. The House adjourned early to.day,:having au tatted upon excitement. In the Senate a disposition was made of the scheme for procuring government aid to the Panw ma railroad, which. I think, will prove us quietus. It was postponed until the 2d day of January. The beet way would be to go and make the road, after which the government will be obliged to employ it for the transportation of its store. It is believed that Mr. Balk, of New Orleans, coming here with Gen. Taylor, and that he establish a paper which will become the organ of the administration. He is an able man, and what is as good, a moderato and Judicious one. Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette. FROM WASHINGTON. Prom an Occasional Correspondent. Wsattinaron Ctrr, Dec. 21,1848. The Editors of the New Orleans Bulletin, one of the ablest Whig Journals in Loniaima, in a recent article alludes to the New Cabinet, and says, it will be a unit, that it will be a Whig, and adds :—.Who are the indierainals that will be selected, we ore I unable to say, simply because we are ignorant on the subject, and are unwilling to tallow the example of our neighbors in . guessing." but we will venture an opinion, that New England will present one member, Pennsylvania another, (the glorious old Keystone, that has struck down the spoil. party, deserves that compliment,) and the Poach and the West each mother, and that none will be taken either from New York or Lornsiann, as they have the President and Yim.President.—Purther than this, we will not venture even "to gem." The concession which the Bulletin makes, in this article, of a Cabinet Office to Pennsylvania, Is further proof of the general feeling on that subject, all over the country. I have no doubt that this feeling will be responded to by General Taylor. and that lie will look to that State, for an individeui to constitute the head of one of the departments o f the governrnent 4 This honor is so manifestly due to Pennsylvania, kir her noble and praiseworthy conduct in the late contest, that I cannot doubt for a moment what course the President elect will pursue. Hit sense of justice and warmth of feel ing will induce him readily to make this acknow. lodgement to a State, that perhaps would not have cast the Lame vote for any other Whig in the Union. 'ln mheipation of each being his course, I have heretofore alluded to a distinguished citizen sod statesman of Pennsylvania, who had Jimmy been pointed out by the public voice, in venires quarter -tot the country, as a suitable person to be introduced into the cabinet, and whose appoint ment would not only meet very general approval but would also redound to the benefit of the new administration and the good of the country. This person, I repeat again, is Arromw Sire-sir, whose talents, experience and information so well qualify hies fix the office of Secretary &the Treasury. Where is there a man to be Wad, who took an earlier eland in favor of Cetera! Taylor, who was more indefatigable in support of him, or who, in a word, contributed mare to his seeress. than Mr Stewart s Where is there a man noire identified with the interests of Peousylvatua, the State to be gmtified by the appomtment, or who understands the system of 1... with which her interests are so immediately connected, better than he doea , Where is there 11 man more popular with the people, or whose selection would give greater satisfaction to the masses who supported the Old Hero I Where is there a man in Pennsylvania, the monal mils once of whose appointment would have a better effect upon the polities of the state, or weld do more toward. keeping the opponents of General Taylor in their present minority . To these ques tions I think the answer of every unbiassed person, who has given mention to these matters, must be, no-where. In regard to the interest which Mr. Stewart Lk m the success of Taylor, and the manner in which he labored, from the earliest period of the morrow to the Intent, to bung it about, I feel myself well qualified to speak. 1 was n personal witness oi his course, the most of the time, and I con truly say that I never saw a man exert himself more faithfully, or with better effect, in the accomplish• meat of an object, than he did. first, to mecure General Taylor'. nomination, and allerwards, his election. There well, limes when clouds lowered about Itte old General's prospect., and when some of his warmest friends were reedy to despair. Then it was, that Mr. Stewart stood firm at has post, and proved true to the standard uhder which be .had enrolled himself' Then it was, that he suffered no obstacles to dampen his ardor, or to depress his spirit.. He had an abiding confidence in Taylor's popularity, in the hold he had on the affections of the people, in the force of his mealy, honest character, and he always predicted that these would enable the old war-worn veteran to aurmomi every difficulty, overcome all opposition. whether secret. or open, and would in spite of every effort against him, Vice him triumphantly in the presidential chair. saw the neceistty of running General Taylor, and of having his name presented to the country tot manner the most likely to obtain for him the votes of a majority of the people. He Law that the salvation of some of the most cherished principles of the political creed they both professed, depended on his election Hence be devoted himself night and day, in sun shine and in storm, to the aticomplishment of that result, Under these circumstances then, Is it an un• natural denise on the part of those who, like myself, belong to the rank and file of the Taylor party, and who venerate that noble old man, to wish to see no faithful and meritorious a friend of his associated intimately with him, in the administration of the affairs of the government t And is it unreaaonable to calculate that General Taylor will estimate his services and qualities sufficiently to place him in that position ! I think not, and therefore I shall continue to look forward with confidence to Mr. Stewart's being made one of the Cabinet Officer. This is a very different letter from what I de signed it should be, when I commenced writing. I thought I should have given you some account of matters and things here, before I einichided, but I bays elready occupied so mush space, as to make it necessary to put off going so until another time. There is very little of interest to comment rate in that way, however, so that you have sustained no great loss by my being diverted from what might be considered the proper object of a Washington letter.

The stories told et the difficulties at Chegrea and Panama have deterred some of the more timid of the gold seekers, and passage tickets have be come an snide of sale at a reduction from prime cost. Among the advertisers is M. Y. Beech, late of the "Sun," who has purchased n ship, called the Apollo, and converted it into a sort of a hotel warehouse, and advertises passage, board, lodging and washing, for the whole trip, at n fair rate. A good deal of clap trap is practised, in order to get passengers, by the ship owners The last card is a proclamation that "Jerome," the sailor, goes as mate of a certain ship. The old tar little thought how notorious his conduct would make him, arid how desirable. First he was borrowed to solicit subscribers to a magazine, called the "World as it moves," next be is fated "to attend a theatre," and now goes to California. Cholera revives a little just now, and is consid ered a little more dangerous since n German, from Pittsburgh, who arrived here a few dare ago, died, es he came from region seethe from cholera, and had no connection with the passengers of the plague ship. The presence of cold weather, and frequency of the reports of the Board of Health give great confidence and check all panic. Railroad openings and excursions are the rage just now, and within ten.daye 2b2 miles directly connected with New York will be added. Yiret, we have the Nashua and Worceiter (45 mile.,) cHpening to us the Canadian and northern New arnpshire trade; next, the New Haven, south, (80 miles,) giving us a land route from Weldon, N.

The llamiltonroad opens a section of 30 mile* towards Albany, and the 'Erie a section of 127 miles towards the great west, in creasing immensely our intercourse with the coun try.

On the day of the catastrophe, about It o'clock. Geiger was seen to leave one of the Dry Dock• Stages, and proceed directly to the nano of Marks, where Marks was at work at his unfile, and Maria was preparing the dinner. Geiger on etgenng the room, immediately drew a sharp dirk, of about nine inches long, with a strong Iron guard, and made A plunge at Marks, who, seeing the 61113 of the deadly weapon, put up his left band too-guard himself, and received the dirk in the polo of his hand, near the wrist; which, from the great ;force, severed the band nearly in two. The twit blourCtruck Ilan on the right breast, parsing into the lungs, two more were giveo.ic rapid sucessiston, one dividing the muscles on the led shooldrr, and the other, n most violent 6,11 , 4, evidently driving the dirk to the hilt.

Many of our readera being in terested in the subject, we make some ex tracts from the Report: In relation to the survey from Steuben ville to Pittsburgh, the report says : The survey was commenced at the mouth of Harman's creek, a short distance above Steubenville, and on the opposite side of the river. From this point to the dividing ridge separating the waters flowing west from those of Raccoon creek, there are two main routes—the one extending up Herman's creek to said ridge, a little west of &netts town, on Proutitit's farm—the other up King's creek, with which we connect, at what is called the little cove, and thence to an extension of the same dividing ridge at Florence. Here the head waters of King's creek are on one side, and those of the Brash creek branch of the Raccoon on the other. Crossing at either of these summits brings us into the valley of Raccoon creek. In de -scending this valley, on our way east, we of course have two routes, corresponding with the two on the we-tern side of .the ridge. Both of these extend to the mouth of Little Raccoon, the valley of which is common to both—the one extending from the first Men tioned surcmit to a branch called Burget's branch; thence down said branch to the main stream; and thence round to the month of Little Raccoon, aforesaid—the other from the Florence summit down Brash creek, a little above its junction with the main stream. Crossing the Raccoon here, we ran up on fa vorable ground to the foremeutioned point on Little Raccoon. These two routes from the month of Harman's creek to this point, each have their peculiar advantages and disarlvan tages Both are practicable—the grades are almost the same—lengths very near the same. The summit at Florence is a few feet the lowest. Easy curves can be made more cheaply on King's creek than on Har man's creek. The whole amount of ascent and descent on the Harman's creek route is something less than on the other but, upon the whole, it will require careful examina tion to decide between them. From the mouth of Little Raccoon we as cend, very directly, in the valley of this stream to the dividing ridge, separating it trom that of Walker's branch of Robinson's run, which flows into Chattier creek. This summit is at Moreland's farm, and is called Moreland summit. From this point we run down this branch of Robinson's ran, near Noblestown, to Chartier creek; and thence down this stream to its month, at the Ohio river, 23 miles below Pittsburgh. The hollowing table exhibits the proximate grades on the level, with the length of each: Grade per mile. Miles. Feel. The whose distance from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, may be computed thus From Pittsburgh to mouth of Char tier, say " Mouth of Chartier to mouth of Harmon creek, 413 i " " Mouth of Harmon to Sten -2 " " Steubenville to Uhrichsville, .t '• Lhrichsville to Coshocton, 33 " Coshocton to Mt. Vernon, 39 " Mt. Vernon, as above, to Cincinnati, 160 " Total, 325 " To go b Newark wouhT make the dis tance 8 mi s less, or 317 miles from Pius burgh to Cincinnati. The straight or air line, between these two places, computed by latitude , and longitudes, is 256 mile=only 61 miles leas than by your route, with its various deflections. I question very much whether any materially shorter feasible route can be obtained. On the importance of this road Dr. Whippo calls attention to several facts. Among them is the following: That almost the 'Wire trade of the tract is strongly tending towards the north, with a Bos ton and New York destination. Business men in Ohio and in the east have observed this tendency—it is beginning to be felt, and that very sensibly. There is a cause for this. Let as examine a little to see where it exists. Let us take a view of the public works now in operation, and those in progress and con templation, which constitute the machinery by which [hie result has been brought about, and to be perpetuated, and see how they point, and their natural tendencies now, and in prospect. With the help of these lights. I presume we shall have no difficulty in dis covering the cause to which I allude. Cin cinnati, the great city of the west, has her canals and railroads—these, with one excep tion, perhaps, terminate at the lake. Indi ana. with her public works, directly or indi rectly is pointing measurably in the same direction. The Wabash and Erie canal, for instance, with its numerous tributaries, stretching away over into the valley of the Wabash river, has the same terminus, Lake Erie, and brings in from that rich and wide spread country a vast amount of business. Michigan, too, has her railroads; these ex tend across the State from east to west, and connect Lake Erie with Lake Michigan; and will, no doubt, ultimately stretch round the head of the Lake to Chicago. There can be no doubt in regard to their tendencies.— Then, here are all your railroads and canals in Ohio, all have a northern terminus clo . the Lake, and are yearly bearing away From the country millions of dollars worth of freight, destinid 'for a New York market. The Wellsville and Cleveland railroad, when completed, will join in the same general movement. The canals of Western Penn sylvania, and the Pennsylvania and Ohio canal, are contributing largely to the same result. l on Mann toy for bet One would imagine, in looking at this great system of Internal Improvements, wi pecially when taken in connection with its results, that there must have been in it a deep-laid, secret design, that did not at that appear, and which has only of late develop itself. And we should Judge, by these skil. fully lard improvements, that this design was to thaw in all, or as much as possible, of the trade of Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, into this north ern current, and thence east, for the special benefit of those two great eastern cities. It would seem, also, that it was intended to drag the trade even from the Ohio river, and , thus to deprive the steamboats of their legi imate business. Whether there has bete any design in the matter or not, the firer equally certain and obvioui, that the busi- peas of the west is strongly tending towards the no.rth, on its way east to Now York and &stmt. All this has been accomplished while Phil adelphia and Baltimore have been lying comparatively idle. Neither of them have as yet got fairly into the Ohio valley : i s true they have been doingsn • ba; the meantime, I' w York and `Boston have Completed their works and have reach': ed forth their bands end stoned the price.— Whether Philadelphia and Baltimore will be stultified to let them retain it, remains to be ' seen. It appears to me they will not. Phil-' adelphia is now constructing the central rail road. This is good policy, and will give her an advantage which she has , aver heforii I enjoyed. Baltimore, I, should think, would hasten . to Pittsburgh' also. But even then, It 'appears to me that something will still be wanting. it appears to me that it will be necessary, in order to secure a _,reasonable portion of the trade of the west to Philadel phia and Baltimore, that a railroad on the shortest and most direct route, should be constructed across from Pittsburgh to Cie. , cinnati. Now this contemplated read of yours is just the one that is needed. The distance, as I have shown above, is DTI 317 miles, and only 61 miles binger than e air line. From Pittsburgh to Philadelphia is 349 miles. Thus the whole distance from Cincinnati to Philadelphia is 060 miles or nearly 300 less than from Cincinnati to New York. Can it be possib'e that the trade and travel 9f the west will be allowed to take this circuit! No one can suppose it. Phila. delphia and Baltimore, then, I cannot doubt, will give coanietnaliCe and encouragement to this audeMdting. Cincinnati is also deep ly interested in it, and Pittsburgh too, which think is insoluble of proof; and they' can- g not fall, I am persuaded, to bid yon God speed, and do what they otherwise can to aid you on. • :-::' ':::,% I GVlQN4,4tS6'.;,':!•;;'' :-'!:;.'1.
