Rail ROEUIS.
We present below some extracts from a
Aspect made by the New York and Erie
Its"' Road Company in 1841, which not
Ottiy show the great advantages that such
improvements are to the business commu
nity, but clearly demonstrated that from no
other investments will capital yield so large
a dividend,
", Gentlemen who have devoted many
years to each improvements, in the capaci
*a of Managers, Engineers and liFentrac- ,
tem have been consulted on the projected
Rail Road from this city to Con nellsville,
Wen have unreservedly given it as their
ophaion, that there is not another location
In the United States that offers so many ad.
vantages fur the construction of a Railroad;
and the extract from the address of the
committee which we append to this article,
shows the benefits that ntust result to our
city from such an improvement. The ad
vantages of our location are anperinr to
these of any other pelt of the Union. Our
position at the head of navigation on the
Ohio, secures to us all the trade of the vast
valley of the Mississippi. and the facilities
that a Rail Road would afford, would make
this the grand route for the transportation
of goods from the east to the west and
eattl i kern parts of the country. Al these
advantages will be made apparent in the
remarks of the Committ e to which we
have referred.
We will now make eu ne extracts from
the New York Report, and as all the state
ments are facts verified by experience, we
hope our citizens will Oro them a proper
ecniideration. The first extract speaks of
the general utility of. Nail roads.
Ta juige of the claims of any such undertaking,
and especially of railroads, because they offer the
greatest facilities fur travel and Ikewise for trans•
pert, when properly constructed fur that ohj• ct, it
is essential to inquire, first antlichiet3y, to what
member of people will the work in question afford
the most satisfactory means of travel and busi
ness? This may involve two subordinate inqui
ries; one, whether, and to what *tent , the route
is exposed to competition? the other, as to the ten.
dumpy of the.work to augment and mu ltiply the
employments and business of t h ose wile are relied
OA far its support, and to attract further accessions
to the population.
Whore there are people enough for its support,
a road adapted to their purposes; and so condition
al-en-to command their patronage, will of course
be productive. The number of people to be ser.
vai is, in connection with the length of the toad,
a far safer basis of calculation than any general
isratheoretical estimate of passetigers and tonnage.
Tidies may be a great difference on different
roetesin the variety and extait of the employ
meats and business of the people; and a more nu
nislous population may be required on some routes
than on-others, to afford daily a sufficient number
of passengers, in addition to their tonnage, to sup- I
peer a road. On a route thorough a salubrious
and lAviting country, occupied by a prnsperous
mid increasing population, mod affording scope
and objects for ten times their numbers, a railroad I
is a fir lifer investment than oii a route which,
though equally populous at the outset, presents no
new objects of enterprizs, or'ether inducements
to immigration: On a road long enough to yield, I
an an average, $5 for each passenger, twu bun.l
dred - passenger a day, with their tentage, would
probably yield a better income, on the same eapi. i
tal,ihan twenty.five hundred' per day un a short
road a yieldiug but fifty cents a passenger. A
road requires a given number'of passengers year
ly, with their tonnage, to reader it productive. It
there are on its route i.eople er.ough, their charac.
ter, circumstances and employments being consid- I
ered, to supply that number of passengers, and if
growing numbers and patronage arc in the given
case to be relied on, in connection with the use
and influence of such road, its success is certain. ,
*lle following shows the comparative
plains of long and short Rail Roads.
The number of way passengers on the Utica
and Schenectady railroad amounted in 1839, to
85,823. Tne gross revenue derived from them,
was $87,979 59, amounting to 81,01 for each in.
dividual; and as the charge fur a through passage
is $3, it is seen that the way passengers travelled
on an average one-third the length of the lma.—
It may be assumed as nearly self evident, that in
a smeary occupied by a population distributed eal
venly over its surface, and having a uniformity of °
character and pursuits, the railroads which trio.
TEM it will receive numbers of way passengers
proportional to their lengths; that la, a straight
resit two hundred miles long, will have tw:ce as
many way passengers as a road -one hundred miles
To illustra'e this view of the subject still fur
ther, we will make a similar esti:nate from idata
furnished by the Utica and Syracuse railroad.—
length of this wbrk is fifty.three miles; the
number of way passengers in 1839 was 55,802,wh0
paid on an average seventy three cents each, the
price fora through passage being $2. By exten
ding the calculations as above, we shall find . that
the.thber of way passengers on the NeW York
and. Erie railroad would, at the same rate, be
469,570. and the sum received from thom, $3,056,-
959..
The amounts obtained in these calculations a
gree sufficiently to show that with regard to the
railroode cited, the rule that the numbers of way
paissogere are as the lengths, holds goods.
The mean of the two results is about $3,000;
000, from which. ii we were to deduct one third
for upenses,we should have a nett receipt of $2.-
000,000 on way passengers alme; equal to 22 per
Cl. on the capital; or if two-thirds of the cust of
the work were defrayed from loans, at 5} per ct.
the income on the remaining $3,000,000 of stock
would bs 55 per ct. per annum. In other words,
if the New York and Erie railroad shall receive
as many :ray passengers in proportion as the Uti.
ea and Syracuse railroads,tbe nett earnings miEbt
be more than sufficient to pay 51 i per ct. on $6,-
000,000 of loans, and 50 per ct. on $3.000,000 of
stock. and this, without taking into account the
prolita on through passengers, on freight, or on
the *importation of the mail.
We have not room for further extracts
on thiA's subject to-day, and will conclude
with the rot/owing' from the able report of

roads, by this firm; and they aro prepared (and
have offered) to make locomotives and passe ger

as cheaply as they can be made elsewhere in the
U States, and take the stock of the company in

establishments will, no doubt, be willitiz to make
contracts on terms equally favorable.

from 25 to 50 per cent.; thus increasing the re

The score of business houses that arc now stand •

transactions of profitable business.
The advance in rents alone, it is believed,
would pay the interest on the whole expense of
the road from this toCounellsvill.t.
Your factories would immediately feel the enli
vening influence; and find it necessary to double
their hands, in order to meet the increased de
mand for their products.
In short, your city wot.ld soon become the
point of attraction fir a large share of the trade
and business of the west and north, and every im
portant interest belonged to it, be greatly benefit,
ed. la relation to the commercial advantages
she may expect to derive from this road, the fol.
lowing remarkable paragraph occurs in the letter
of Mr Maclean to Judge Wilkins, read at the
meeting on the 15th of April last:
"It will not escape you, that such c• n tnection,
(viz: with Cun berland,) would bring Pittsburgh
into immediate proximity with the Atlantic, and
_live to that city greater advantages, in this re
spect than are eryuyed in Philadelphia•"
So soon, also, as it is decided that this road
will be made to Cumberland, Ohio will wake up
again, to the importance of a Railroad between
Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Ten years agu a sur—
vey was made by 0 Mitchell, engineer, under the
direction of the Pittsburgh and Ohio Railroad
Committee, of the route for a Railroad from this
Lu Massillon, with a view to its future extension
to Cleveland; and on the third of February, 1832,
an act was passed by the aria Legislature. incor.
parating the ••Pennsylvania and Ohi., Railroad
Company," for the purpreie of constructing a
Railroad from Pittsburgh to Massillon, on the
Ohio Canal. On the 8:h of March, 1633, a bill
giving the sanction of Pennsylvania to this char
ter, was reported by Mr Stewart in the House of
Representatives, was not acted on. The route
was declared favorable, and the estimated expense
at that time, near two millions of dollars. There
is no question that the road can now be made to
Cleveland for one-half that sum.
A distinguished Engineer, who has been em
ployed for many years on the public work+ of
Ohio, stated to a member of this committee but a
few days since, that he had surveyed and exam•
ined all the difficult points along the route, and
bad no doubt a Railroad could be made from
Pittsburgh to Cleveland by Warren, for $7,000
per mile. That an immense trade would be at .•
tracted to a road between these paints, and great
advantages result to the cities of Pittsburgh and
Allegheny, nu one can doubt.
If, therefore, the city of Allegheny wishes to
have the terminus of a Railroad from Cleveland,
uniting with her limits with the Pennsylvania
Canal, and to hear the whistle of the Locomotive,
which but a few hours before had left the shores
of the Lake, and to see the bustle of life and bus
iness through all her borders, let her come forward
and give prompt and liberal aid to construct a
Railroad from Pittsburgh to Cumberland.
The picture of ruin and decay, and desertion of
population, and demean in the value of property,
that must result, if we refuse to complete the
work under consideration, and suffer other rival
improvements to be made, we leave to others to
draw.
This one work connecting us by a railroad
with Cumberland, and making truly a GRAND CEN
TRAL ROUTE between thq Atlantic and the West,
is necessary to place Pitt3burgh on a sure and
solid footing of wealth and prosperity. Let it be
done by one vigorous and united enrt; aod then
tho' our city may nut have the proud title of
'Queen the- West,' she must ever be the Key
to unlock the tr , asures of the West to the East,
and those of filo Bast to the West.

been acted upon ever since. Mr Wylie
took a different view—he seemed to think
that the Whigs had only spoken against
more than one term in the same office, and
that a man might rotate from one office to
another with great advantage to the public
—that the consequence of the adoption of
the resolution, would be to fill our legisla—
tive halls with unskilled men every year.
The question was taken and the simplici
ty of the coon who thought the federalists
were in earnest in avowing the one term
principle in 1840, was rebuked by a large
majority.
The oames of the candidates for the
Congressional nomination were now called
for. HNI Brackenridge, Harmar Denny,
and Walter Forward were submitted. A
delegate produced a letter from Mr F. ask_
ing a withdrawal of his name on the ground
that ''his private affairs would not permit
him to become a candidate." So, we infer
Olathe had nopolitical rea.ons. He would
not object to take a nomination from the
Whigs, if his "private affairs" admitted of
it. This looks like cutting loose from M r
Tyler.
The convention proceeded to mat k when
H M Brackenridge was chosen.

it reassembled, Mr Wylie read an Address

upon the representatives (rum this county

—we are amused with it while we wonder

its authors.

a speech made by Mr Lyell, the eminent
geologist, at a late meeting of the British

especially New England, whets a popula
tion of two millions enjoys a higher aver.
age standard of prosperity and intellectual

TRAVELLING.—You can now go from
Boston to Bangor, by steamboat, for $2,
from New York to Albany for 50 cents,
or less, A person may go from Portland
to Boston (120 miles) by Railroad, spend
10 hours io the latter city, and return to

:The Gazette . crlseiday says that"'
the Delawarti Division Was offered too low,
but asserts as at. apology for . those, (the
Whigs only, of course.) who legislated it
away, that "this was not evident at the
time the bill was passed." Now, one
thing certainly was evident at the time.—
We mean the very important piece of ins
formation which :lay on the desk of the
members, showing that the clear profits of
that division amounted for the season im ,
mediately preceding the act of sale, to up•
wards 0f570,000, being between 4 15-.5 per
cent. on the actual par value of the stocks
for which, by that act, it was to be es—
changed—(stock not yet commanding more
than 45 cents on the dollar paid,) and more
than 5 per cent. on the original cost of con
struction as stated in the Gazette. Will
the editor of the Gazette let the public
know what has wined up since the passage
of the law to develope the real value of
this improvement more clearly than the
fact above cited.
If the Deacon will not admit that the
sale of the Delaware Division under these
circumstances is nut the most barefaced
plunder of the people of the State for the
benefit of the speculators, who have got
possession of the stock for less than half
its par value, we will give him up as being
incorrigible.
The editor of the Advocate appears to
be a queer. fish. He says his "present im
pressions are against a U. S. Bank, or any
other monied monopoly;" yet he advocates
the nomination and election of Henry
Clay—for whatl Either because he is
pledged for a National Bank, or merely
because he is Henry Clay. We cannot
see any consistency in this, though we
presume the Judge knows what he is a.
bout.

by the British on the seizure of the Sand..

One particularly mean has come to our
knowledge. The titled thief seized forci.

by him in his excursions from island to is
land of his dominions, and made it a ten

that a fatal rencounter has just taken place

was addressing the jury upon the trial of
a criminal case, in which Ellington was
prosecutor, and was commenting legiti•
mately and properly upon the evidence,
when Ellington came up behind him, and
struck him twice or 'Attica over the head
with a huge s:ick., Mr 'l'. thereupon seiz•

which he stabbed his antagonist under the
left arm.
Mr E. died a few minutes afterwards
Great confusion prevailed in the Court
room, and his honor, Judge Rollins, ad—
journed the Court for a short time. All
who witnessed the scene, concur in the
opini in that Mr Tupper's conduct was
perfectly justfi ible, if, indeed, it was not
praiseworthy, and the fate of Ellington well

editor, in the street, gave him such a bes -

irg as proved very satisfactory to the by.
atanders and quite annoyed the .editors. 4 ,!
About cwo hours afterwards, Bickford,
bent upon revenging his bruised hori9r.,
entered Adams & Littlafleld's store for the'•
purpose of flogging Mr Little; bat as fa*
would have it, Bickford got a most MUM*
ciful thrashing; his faee was very Web
bruised, and he was taken away in a gore
of blood. All this happened in the pres
ence of a large concourse of witnesses.
Both Little and Bickford were sabse;
quyntly bound over to take their trial for
disturbing the peace.
