(No. S.) • Th. ..rdwa of Rib.la to grant the right of way to St. Louis, unless through Alton, may defeat the extension of the Terre Haute line west of thelif7l. bath river, in which event you will have to resort, (or the present, to a substituted fine through LA% layette, where you fall into the "Northern. Cross Rail Road" of Illinois, which was a put of her State system, but is now transferred to a prise. company. On .55 milee of this road (Springfield to Naples, on the Illinois river) the cars are now running,and, between Springfield and Lafayette, the State has heretofore expended, $300,000, the benefit of which, enuring to the company, will 'render the residue of the construction, from Lain• parts to Springfield, a light work. The country traversed for flO miles, by this line, is the noble 'valley of the Sangamon, relieving the prairie by a belt of the best timber in Illinois. By the terms of the contract by which the State of Illinois ear. rendered this work to the company, the latter is bound to continue its coast:action from Spurts field towards Lafayette, the present sermon. Branching at Springfield, the Alton road conducts you in the direct rooms to St. Lenin. The Alton and Springfield stock has lately been taken by Eastern capitalists—the company organised bythe election of three Eastern and titre Western Direr• tors, the President residing in Boston. It in un deratood that it will be Eirthwith placed under contract.' There is nnother teasers, besides the open right of way, and the present progress of the mad, why St. Louie will probably connect with Lafayette intoner than any other point on the Wabash river. It is, became she can one this stem to the Wabash, while it conducts her thus Gtr On a very circuitous course into the central lines of Ohio and Penney!. Traria; also, as an outlet, for that distance, into the Boston lines at the South East angle of Lake Michigan, and by a route thirty miles shorter than if she proceeded up the valley of the 'lllinois and through Chicago. St. , Louis would be stimulated, also, to the adoption of the Wabash instead of the Illinois deer rota to the Boston lines,by the eircum* stance of its opening to her a new trade in the interior of Illinois. Thus, them is Obis prospect that Pittsburgh, n 1 the direct right of may is granted, (which now seems.a distant event,) can reach St. Louis thro better country, by the Lnlayette and Springfield' • etc, in lees than two boom' additional railroad I have now adverted to the prominent linen from Pittsburgh to Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river, in actual course of construction. Before I close, I will bring under the same glanee.two or three of the more distant extensions now concern. p/ated, and most likely, ere long, to be realized. The St. Louis and Pacific Roil Road, from the Rimier city to Independence, has been incorporas tcd, and Individual stock subscribed in St. Louis to the amount of half a mtlliop. The corporation of that city will probably add another hsß:mils The road from Hannibal (on the Mississippi, near Quincy) to St. Joseph, on the Missouri, is a work which is enlisting the zeal of Northern Mis- .ori. By tho laws of primogeniture, ll may for me years have to yield to the claims of tho route named. A road from Davenport and Hock Island„through lowa City, the Capital of that State, to Conntil Meth, has now concentrated on it the united ex ertions of the people of lowa. A popular convert- Lira in that State has been called on the subject, and formal application will be made to Cordless for a grant of lands to aid in its construction. Si mlar grants having been made to moat of the new, States, (from which noble monuments have been erected, in the shape of canals, Sse,/ it is not an likely the application will be successful. The COll Mutation of the line south outward from Davea• port to the Illinois river, at Ls Salle, (or Pena, which is the same point,) has been undertaken by individual rabscrlptiob, and, being through a well muted and extremely fertile portion of Illinois, prodzilies early accomplishment This will leave oue hundred and thirty five miles over the plate to connect at Lafayette with your north went= . . The Chicago and Galena road is In the "fall tide of successful experiment," and the cars - IMO now running from Chicago to Elgin-42 miles. The average length completed and run en that road lest atmmer, was 20 miles, and 'frr this abort dis tance, the work yielded • net revenue of $25,000. A ten per cent. dividend (in stock) hes lately been declared, and carried to thelCl2ol2lli of the Sinking Food. I have thus introduced you to somewhat remote re- OW, bat not an inch beyond where your commerce willitetively go and to now going. Let it be re. membered, however, that our journey has been through the agricultural heart of America. Not an inhospitable journey, for entertainment has been provided for us by near five millions of our countrymen. We have paned the valleys of the Scioto, of the Miami, of the White Water, and Whius rivei, of the Wabash, and of the Illinois,— ' I have found repine in the centre of the Missis sippi Basin. Of the vast productioos of those val leys, our registration has been so imperfect that the world has no knowledge of our wealth.

W. For Mt Pittsburgh Otrzeue. Pittsburgh and Braddook's Pied Plank Soul. Edstor—l learn from the newspaper that of the stun of about $40,000, required for the con 'Metier, of tho above road,-to its terminus en the Greensburgh and Pittsburgh - Turnpike, at Tonle Creek; a very considerable_p onion mill remains to be subscribed. I confess lem somewhat sur prised at this, considering the mobablerevenne of the road, and , the general sharp sightedness of capitalists in regard to the profitable investment of money. I can oaly account fee it, by imp:sing that they have either failed to turn their attention to the subject, or are entirely. uninformed in re gard to the probable receipts and basineu of the Road, I Propose therefore, with your leave, to say a word on that subject. It is, I believe, an established fact, that no ins vestments of money in this country have proved, generally, to be more profitable than those ex pended on PIMA Roads, even under circumstan ces the most unfavorable. It is moreover, per. hap•, equally true that, taking all the circumstan ces together—the Increasing population of Pitts burgh—the fact that it is not accessible by sop even tolerably good road; that the route by Brad dock'a Field presents almost an onvaried level along the book of a beautiful river, and that it moreover intersects the great Eastern Turnpike, by a Rend very considerably shorter than that Toropike itself—there is no k.iition in the United States over which a road of this description would Far the Gaeta, °moue in probable productiveness. We are not, however, witholit the means of ca timsting,avith at least a tolerable degree erre."' cry, the probable tolls which will be derived from this rind, when finiahea. Every body admits that its bushier. must be at least equal to - that of the Turnpike between Turtle Creek .and Pittsburgh, lweatite the revenue derived from the lead trade on the latter will certainly be more than compen sated by the probable growth of the population, ' cad the vat; amount of pleasure travel which will be invited and eagroamd. by the latter.
