THOMAS PHILLIPS, EDITOR ITTSBURGH, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11,1843 Tat SOMERSET ROLITE. - -Althtlugh the Somerset express has not yet furnished us with a copy of the Mes sage, 3 , 4 t we feel inclined to say a word in favor of it in the be- t route fur conaectto t between Pittsburgh sold Cumberland. In the many propositions that have been made by our citizens as to the best mode of se curing the Cu•n'terlaad trade, this route has been in tirely overlooked, and their attention has been direct ekto Rail Roads and other schemes which do not ap pear to very practicable at present. Fro:n what we can - un'derstand of the Somerset route, it has advanta ges farsuperior to lay of the other coate:nplated roads, add with a tritlin; outlay on a p srtion of it. it could be rendered as goal a route for travel and transportation vas the National Pike itself. We think it IleCCS3ury that our citizens should not rest until they have hit upon some plan of securing ;The Cu n')arland trade during the suspension of navi gation oa oar clual. This ozcurs at periods when a goat deal i 3 3:11 in the forwarding way, and if we do not find 39 - n t m Tana of securing it, in a few years -we will lose th? whole of the early spring business. 'We find the following remr.rks on the Semetset route, in the Somerset Herald of the sth, and we think them well worthy the attention of every citizen of Pitts. burgh who has any desire to preserve the business of our city. PITTSBURGH AND CUMBERLAND. 'e some weeks since called attention to the subject of improving the turnpike between these two places— and we now recur to it for the purpose of showing that a trifling sum will be sufficient to defra!i the expert -see elf the contemplated improvement, and that when dt shall have been made, merchandise can be conveyed in wagons from Cumberland to Pittsborgh in four days, uncle return trip made witthin the same period of time. First as to the amount requisite for putting the road in complete ot de r. From Cumberland tc the State line, no repairs are weeded. From the State line to Somerset, about 26 miles, it is computed that 960 perches of stone to the mile will put the road in good order. These, we are assured, can be put on for 40 cents per perch, or at the rate of $348 per mile—making the cost from the State line to Somerset about $lO,OOO. The' Somerset and Dlountpleasant Company re quires no aid, but will have this part of the route in rood condition. The same will be the case from Stevrartsville to Pittsburgh—and the only additional expeneiture to that mentioned above, will be between Mountpleasant and Stewartaville. For this portion 'of the routels,ooo will be sufficient—making an ag gregate of . 115,000 ou the whole line. Now as to dis tances. From Curnherland to Wheeling by the National Road, the dista.nte is - shout:l'3l miles—to Pittsburgh by way of Uniontown, 114 miles—and to Pittsburgh by way of Somerset and StewartsVille, ...10:2 miles.— This latter distance a wagon with au ordinary load sill overcome in four days, while by way of Uniontown. it would require four and a half, and from Cumberland to Wheeling five days. The Cumberland trade rapidly increasing, and in The coarse of one or two ears may be worth double w!nt it is at present. Now, then, is the time to secure it, while it can yet be done. If that trade can be di verted from the National Road at the fountain head, it is not at all reasonable to suppose that it will return to it again and go to Wheeling. Neither is it probable that if it continues on that road until it reaches Union town, it can be diverted from thence to Pittsburgh: and tence it is manifest that our's is the only route by which it can be secured to the letter place. But if the road is improved, the advantages to be 'derived from it will not be confined to the earn ing trade --the travel will be greatly increased—end in addi tion, it will ba the best and shortest route for the trans portation of the peat mail between Cumberland and .4:eittsburgh. SOIITIS CAROLINA.—Governor Hammond of South Carolina, has sent in his message to the Legi4lature of that State. The debt of the State is estimated at 43.300,000, and the Governor recommends certain and early provision for. its payment . lie.also recommends the establishment •of a real sinking fund, for this pur pose, distinctTrorn the bank capital (tithe State, which ?project does not seem to meet with much favor from the Charleston Mercury. rTbe subject of popular ed ucation is adverted to, and the substitution of the MO School for the Free School system suggested as a great public benefit. The message advises the repeal of the law te prevent the suspension af the Banks, and the re mission of tirspenalty imthe terse af the recusant banks. EXtgRANTS.—The Cincinnati Enquirer states that sieventi hundred German Emigrants arrived in that city during the past week—not the "convicts and pau pers otEurope,"—but holiest and industrious families, 4n easy circumstances. They intend settling in that State--e large portion of them in that city. A boat which arrived from New Orleans on Sunday, brought several families, numbering about one hundred and fifty parsons in all. lap The Veactmgo Democrat is out strong for Saw'z.
