Tho Philadelphia Belletin, In commenting on the Hempf eid flail Road project, tags: "The project of aiding in the couuuctioe of tills-road has never, en far as we aro Informed,' been much considered in this city.

For the Pittsburg/I Gazette ELAILWAY TO THE PACIFIC [conct.rnsw.l Many hare, expelled siallits as to the feasibility of any of the plans proposed for effecting the con struction of tille long rail road, passing, on n isrge portion of the route, through whet is now a wilder ness. No one eau doubt—after what has already been accomplished. in this cowry--that if it were set. tied, throughout, a rail road of -that length would present no insuperable obstacles. There may be tome-Engineering difficittles, and portions of the line may be more Mari mildly expemive, but from the reconnoiranocs of Col. Fremont, and others, it is fair to infer, that there is a rail road route from lit. Louis to San Francisco, comely practicable. It to obvious, that the fins atop proper to Coe ta ken in rekrence to ibis great undenaking, is a eyeful instrtunental survey from the blisaisaippi to the Potato. Upon the result of such survey all future action most hinge; and without it, all that may be said or written, canonly be with the view of directing public attention more prominently the project. R-4puding it,ltticre, as practicable, and that it men be made at sometime, and in some way, we should endeavor to bring together all the practical views WO errand that have a bearing upon It, in order to induce the leading men of our country te apply their minds priotically to fit darelopement. If the route were esublished,low Wag a pe• tied mould be required he the settlement of ihe country through which it will pass , Along -that very route, • good pitiable wagon road mold be opened In one war, and many settlements effected at the same time.

With these settlement, all along the route of a good road, there could norbe any very serious impediment to the maintenance of a largo body of laborers, to be employed in preparing the gm. ding and hrldgiog of the railroad. It is however, to be expected, that the labor tarot:gee compare. I five wilderness, would cost somewoat mote than similar labor through an old improved =miry, which would of course add something to this cost of the rail road. It is believed that a rail road can be constructed from St. Legit to San Francisco, not exceeding 2250' miles lb length. Of this, wo may.act down - 250 indicate be neighed by the Pacifte Railway ' Company, across tho State of bliagourk leaving 2000 miles to be conatructed by, or under the our pings cribs, General Government. The average coat of grading and bridging rail rondo, wide enough for a doubts tract, across the Stmes of Ohio, Indiana, lihnota one Mianoori, in an East and West direction, is lea. then 39,000 per mile. Allowing liberally for the enhanced price of labor, and keeping in view the general description of the route as contained in Cot. Fre. moat,. letter to the Philadelphia Convention, the estimated cost of grading and bridging, on ths aboki-distance may be steamed at $lO,OOO, which, lor 2000 miles, In $0,000,000. To do this amenut of work, it would require a mondani Dice of about 15 men on each milo for 500 working days, which, it la supposed, mould be agetded.M. two peon. .The aggtegnie force, during thialpetiod, being 20,000 met.
