There are in Pititighurgh ten flint or crystal
glass factories, with fifteen furnaces, all in full
operation night Rini day, engaged in the manu
facture of all varieties of table and ornamental
glassware, druggists' jars, tinctures, ..Sze. They
have a net CA of 5650,000, employ GOV
hands, and cotrae annually 600,000 bnithels
coal, last cords wood, 650 tone lead, 550 tons
' , oda and pearl (oh, 250 tons fire clay, 1,500,00 t
feet beards, GOO tons of lulu and hay, and
1,300 tons of Band.
Fourteen window glass furnaces, with a net
, •capital of $400,000, employing COO tnim and
boys, consuming 72.5,000 bushels coal,
cords wood, 4,350,000 feet lumber, 1,750 tons
soda, and producing annually l-15.000 box es
glass, worth near $,..i540,1100. Includ e d i n th e
above are nix furnaces situated at various dis
tances from Pittsburgh on the Nlonougnbe
la, but which are chiefly owned, their bu
siness transacted, and their products sold
at Pittsburgh. 'rho products of these hitter
furnaces generally go under the denomina
tion of " country glass, " and are inferior in
quality to what is called, in contradistinction,
•• city . glans." Some of the window glass facto
ries are at present making glass of great beauty
and size, also fine varieties of plate, Roston,
-CO LICILVei, and show-window glass.
Eleven phial and bottle factories, with a net
capital of $:2611,000, employing G. 50 men and
boys, consuming 275,000 bushel s coa l , 5 , 2 60
cords wood, 2,M0,000 feet of lumber, and eso
tons soda ; and producing annually 17(3,000 boxer
of every variety of black and green bottles,
flasks, phials, &r., worth at present rates
000. There are window glass and I bottle
factory, which, being at present out of blast, are
not included in the estimate.
There are five cottop factories, running 29.300
spindles, 671 looms, and consuming yearly 6,350,-
000 lbs. cotton, 375,000 bushels coal, 120,000
tbs. starch, and 10,000 gallons oil ; employing
1,350 hands, chiefly girls, and producing annual
ly 7,794,000 yards cloth, 6,594,000 tbs. cloth.
yarn, carpet chains, Sc., of value equal to $l,-
281,000. About 200 looms will he added during
the coming summer, which would make the an
nual consumption of cotton altogether equal to
18,000 bales.
There are 2 very extensive establishments
manufacturing locks, latches, coffee.'and paint
mills, counter, hatch, hay, and railroad scales,
malleable castings, &e., &c. Capital invested,
$250,000: consume 1,600 tons pig metal, besides
many tons of copper and zinc, in the manufac
ture of brass for keys, lock facings, &e., and a
large amount of wrought-iron ; employ 400 hands,
and produce goods annually to the amount of
$450,000, which are distributedtrom Mexico, on
the southwest, to Nova Scotia, on the•northoast,
including both Canadas.
There are 13 forge, and heavy blacksmithing
works, many of them using steam and forging
hammers, consuming 16,009 tone or bloom and
wrought iron yearly; employing 3.50 hands, and

Pittsburgh at a little more than half the cost which
its scarcity compels elsewhere. This is n very im
portant consideration in the establishment of
such branches of manufacture as consume large
quantities of wood, and must, as soon as Pitts
burgh resources and advantages become better
and more widely known, attract there many
large workshops in brunches of production not
yet conducted.
The time appears to be rapidly passing away
when peculiar favor should attach to a product
because it is of Eastern make: and We.tern
merchants are beginning to find that they : u •e :14
well served nearer home. The saving in freight
and in cost of construction of very ninny Eastern
products, such as carriages, wagon, cars,
motives, &c., &c., when they can be built just ay
well and cheaper, and when they can be imme
diately launched on a levy cheap water tout,.

many varieties of marmtnoure which are now
found nowhere west of the Allegheny Mottntaim ,

For the year 1858, 59 were enrolled on the
custom-house books of Pittsburgh; and In 1854,
the number of now boats launched, some of them
f unusual size, power, and carrying capacity,
will rise above bU. The improvements which
have of late years attended the construction, the
adornment, and the appointments of river steam
ers, for burden and for passengers, have been
numerous and of great value. The very large
and powerful boats which have lately been
1 1.01tiched as passenger pockets between Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati, are superb specimens of
workmanship, with furniture and decorations of
the most gorgeou, and elaborate order, and com

equipment, and management, employs an im

trades. The effect of railroads thus far con

diminish the ricer trade. Numerous steamers
arrive daily, laden to the guards with the cereals
and other produce of the South and West.
Contrary to expectation, and Owing to the
great demand for river shipment at points on the

are selling at a greatly advanced price, and the
numerous boat builders are driven to the wall
with work, and are hotly pressed to fill their or

of the required varieties of timber, and of other
materials usually employed in building, steamers
are built better nod cheaper at Pittsburgh and

still receive no large accession of population, (.r
increase in value or influence; bat where n cit' ,
has already become a . trade centre and busy
inert of commerce and manufacture, and the mar
ket of a large region of country unusually rich
in agricultural and mineral wealth, every com
pleted road increases her population, her wealth
and power, makes an additional section of coun
try dependent on her, enlarges the market for
her produce and manufactures, and advances
her material welfare in many unexpected ways.
Most undoubtedly, to her position at the one
extremity of river navigation, Pittsburgh, with
out (until very lately) a single railroad, owes
whatever commercial importance she is possessed
of, and is the main cause why railroads have
been projected and built with reference to her :
and if that river were navigable the whole year
round for heavy draught steamers, no number of
railroads that could be built would ever be able
to approach it in the carriage of freight or in
value to Pittsburgh.
The position with reference to water naviga
tion, is building up Chicago and Buffalo at each
extremity of the lakes; it has built New Orleans
and New York in part.
At seasons of good water, heavy freights are
carried from Pittsburgh to St. Louis and Nash
ville for 25 cents per 100 ; to New Orleans
and Dubuque, for from 30 to 40 cents per 100 lbs. ;
and no railroad, no matter how cheaply it may
be constructed, or how low its running expendi
tures may he reduced to, will over he able to
compete with water navigation at such rates.
It is a fixed and well known law of commerce,
that unions certain influential causes operate in
attracting trade out of regular courses, it will
seek the nearest and cheapest way to market,
and so intelligent and sensitive is it, that, other
things being equal, as soon as better and cheap
er transportation facilities are afforded, as soon
ns freigg can be carried one cent cheaper per
100 lbs., and more especially if time, rates, and
distance be favorable, su soon will it give imme
diate recognition of the fact, and commence to
flow in those courses.
Cheapness, certainty, and safety, are alike
required by shippers and receivers. Pennsylva
nia, and her chief cities, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh, have been exceedingly negligent in pro
viding those commercial_ avenues which would
secure to them the vast trade of the ohio and
Mississippi valley : nor did they prepare to move
until the far-oeei rig sagacity and far-reaching
enterprise of New York and Baltimore,
preparing to enter with their roads and drain the
domain belonging of nature to them. f3ccause
cheap freight and travel communication were not
provided through Pennsylvania., much of the pas
sengers and produce of the country west of her
were diverted front their direct courses to New
York. via Toledo, Sandusky. Cleveland and Buf
falo.
The effect of one road, although not yet com
pleted and scarce yet in working order, in draw
ing hack this trade into its lineal directions, is
already manifested in the hart published import
and export reports of those lake cities.
The Ohio River is the great ohanuel in which

great Western valleys would flow, provided it.
offered a regular, certain, and cheap navigation
at all season , of the year, and if at its terminus
su. li artificial avenues are afforded as would
carry from it that which is destined for the East,
and to it that which 14 destined for the West. It
i• great cause for wonder that so little has as yet
been done to improve the navigation of that grea t
oat oral highway.

nection distant sections—has ret co speedily re
covermi her lost ground that there is nothing on
that point, and no road proceeding from her in
any direction left to desire. All that remains
for her is to await the completion and beneficial
consoquences of the many roads now in process
f completion, to observe the direction and re
lations or western commerce, to carefully guard
against all that nay do injury to her interests
or di CPrt her trade, and to stimulate, cherish,
and aid all that may prove tributary and of value
t, her.
Beside the River Ohio, Pittsburgh is the ter
minus of the Monongahela, now navigable as far
as Brownsville, but which, when three more
dams being built are completed, will be naviga
ble for first-class steamers as far as Fairmont,
Va. The tannage fur 11‹,3 passing over the
Monongahela slack water improvement amounted
to :)77.941 tollS, and the number of through and
way passengers upwards of 100,000. When
completed there must be a very large increase.
She is also the terminus of the Allegheny River,
now navigable at certain seasons as far as Frank
lin. A company has just been chartered this
spring for its improvement by dams. The prob
ability is that it will be made navigable at all
seasons as far as the Kiskiminitas. If that river
be then slackwater to Johnstown, at the foot of
the mountains, then commencing at Hollidays
burg on the thither side of the mountains, and
if the Juniata he slack-watered as far as the
Susquehanna and Harrisburg. it would offer a
channel fully as cheap and far more commodious
than the great New York and Erie Canal, the
pride of New York.
Pitt,burgh is also the terminus Of the main
liar of State works front Philadelphia to Pitt,
burgh, canal and railroad. .1 bill for the sale of
this whole line has been most warmly and intel
ligently discussed, and has just passed the llouse
by a vote of of 64 to 30, and will most undoubt
edly pass tho Senate. The whole line will
be sold for eleven million of dollars, and the
Central Road, in connection probably with some
western roads, will become the purchasers.
There arc other canals, both in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, which give cheap channels for freight
throughout n broad and populous country, and
which connect Pittsbnrgh with the Lakes.
In order to estimate the value of the position
of Pittsburgh as a railroad centre and a di,
tributing point, it will Le necessary to take a
hurried and cumpreheu_sive survey of the various
roads which will converge to her from all direc
tions, and which are now being rapidly pushed
to completion.
There are altogether now nine distinct and in •
dependent routes which do or will enter Pitts
burgh. Two of these, the Ohio and Pittsburgh
Road and the Pennsylvania Central, are now
completed. The Cleveland and Pittsburgh Road
14 completed to Wellsville on the Ohio, and at pre
sent employs between that point and Pittsburgh
keel-boats for her freight, and steamboats for her
passengers. The others hare abundant means,
and will tie speedily constructed.
Five of these roads will be trunk lines, and
will have many important tributaries and con
nections, and all will be good paying roads as
soon as finished. Those stretching out to the
West are--
1. The Ohio and Pennsylvania Road, in suc
cessful operation throughout its whole length to
Crestline, a distance of 187 miles penetrating
the rich wheat regions of Ohio, and, forming
ninny important connections. At Alliance it
meets the Pittsburgh and Cleveland Road, at
Loudonville the Mt. Vernon and Springfield Road,
at outline the Sandusky and Cleveland Roads
ing to Cincinnati. "It, continuations thence
n two important directions, one by the Ohio
Indiana route to Fort Wayne, thence by an
ine road directly to Chicago, making the
test possible route for the whole northwest
country to Washington, Baltimore, Philadel
phia, and even to New York. Another road
which it will meet at Fort Wayne, and of
whose value to it and to Pittsburgh it is im
possible to exaggerate, is the great Fort
Wayne and Mississippi Road, proceeding due
west from Fort Wayne, crossing the Mississippi
River at or near Lacon, and terminating at the
mouth of the La Platte River; a stupendous un
dertaking—traversing a country now but sparse
ly settled, but which, when fully populated and
cultivated, will become the garden of the world.
The other direction is to St. Louis by the Belle
fontaine and Indiana Road to Terre Haute,
thence in an air line to St.. Louis, a charter for
which link has at length been obtained from 111 ,
inois. This route, especially if the Pacific Rail
road should terminate at St. Louis, will be a
most important one for Pittsburgh. Although
not yet stocked, and having few connections as
yet, the litudness and travel on the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroad is steadily increasing. In
each instance, except in cost, the estimate of its
managers has been exceeded :_....

The Pittsburgh and Steubenville Road, pro
ceeding due west from Pittsburgh, crossing the
Ohio at Steubenville, where it is continued by
the Steubenville and Indiana ltoad to Columbus,
where it becomes connected with a perfect net
work of Ohio and Indiana roads which radiate in
,every direction, and thence proceeding in the
Most direct practicable route to St. Louis. This
road will be finished in about a year, and will he
a most excellent passenger route, as it is the
straightest line from St. Louis, and that immense
tract of country lying duo west from Penns)l
vents, to Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
Another very important branch will he thei. ,
Maysville and Pittsburgh road, which at the for
mer town on the Ohio, unites with a road ex
tending by way of Lexington through-Kentucky
and Tennessee to Memphis, on the Mississippi.
This road will evidently, from a mere survey of
the route, be of great importance, and will, espe
cially if a route to the Pacific start from Mem
phis, be fruitful in good results to Pittsburgh.
8. The Cleveland and Pittsburgh Road is al
ready in •ioperation to IVellsville on the Ohio
river, between which point and Pittshurgh keel
boats are employed to carry its freight, and
steamboat to carry its passengers, .one:hrttneli
is now being built froin Wehsvtlle to Bridgeport,
opposite Wheeling', and another toward Pitts
burgh, either to enter into Pittsburgh by a sepa
rate road controlled by its company, pr,,by a
junction with - the Ohio and Pennsylvania Road
at Beaver. This road and its branches cannot
tail in bringing a large accession of business and
travel to Pittsbnrgh, which will be felt in all her
commercial relations, and add largely to her po
sition as a poiht desirable for eastern connec
tions. Even now, when Yet unfinished, and hav
ing freight subjected to transhipment at Wells
ville, it does a large and increasing business with
Pittsburgh. The tonnage carried by it from that
point alone for 18.58 was 15,000 tons ; the ton
nage for 1854. estimating fromits increase in
the first quarter of the year, will be considerably
over :10,000 tons, at least four-fifths of which
will he Pittsburgh manufactured articles.
4. The Cleveland and Mahoning Road, now
being built, will penetrate the fertile and" popu
lona region known na the '• Western Reserve,"
will give a cliisor connection with Cleveland and
the Lakes, and will for much of thedisttuace (.11;
verge but grintually from the Cleveland and Pitt.-
burgh Road, with which; however; it eantiot lh-
terfere. It will he completely-finished in 185&i,..
it will create a very large local trade, and will
secure a large portion of the trade and travel
centered at Cleveland and destined for points
east and southeast of it. ft will either connect
at Newcastle with a branch of the Ohio and Pitts
burgh Road, or will come directly into Pitts
burgh by a separate load now projected and die
cussed.
5. The Pittsburgh and Erie Road is a project
which has had various and fluctuating fortunes,
but in now supported by such energetic and re
sponsible men, :Ind has such a firm and generous
financial basis, that it will he immediately pushed
to completion. It will serve to develope a rich
agricultural and mineral country, will give a
most direct northern connection with the Lakes,
and will he a duet for Pittsburgh coal and manu
factures to the lake country and the Canadas.
Its route has been finally located through Mer
cer, and it will meet the Ohio and Pittsburgh
brunch at Newcastle.
The Chat-tiers Valley Road is a route twen-
tv-five miles in length. which proceeds from Pitts
burgh on the south, keeps along a valley widely
celebrated for its picturesque beauty and mineral
resources, and unites with the Ilemptield gond
at 11"11,11jUgt4111. Pa. It has just been put under
contract, wilt be finished in one year, and is
con , idered of more importance and dignity than
a mere local branch. It is built to counteract
the injurious withdrawal of freight and travel by
means of the Ilemptield route, a road which
i , sues from the roads centering at Wheeling,
proceeds due east, leaves Pittsburgh to the north,
and unites with the Pennsylvania Central at
Greensburg. It will enjoy a large local trade,
and will he beside a much-traveled link uniting
Pittsburgh and the West.
7. IM the northeastern side proceeds a road
which Pittsburghere are accustomed to regard
with peculiar favor, simply beeause—indepand.
eut of its through travel and freightage, which
will be immense, and its more distant connec-
Lions, which will ho many and important—it
divides, from one end to the other, one of the
most magnificent districts in our country, one
which is richer in resources than any other;
which has hitherto remained a wilderness only
because it has been inaccessible and without
market facilities, and which, above all, will make
Pittsburgh its chief outlet. The vast stores of
iron ore, coal, limestone, salt, kc., the boundless
forests of many and valuable varieties of timber
which are so bountifully deposited front one end
of the Allegheny Valley even up to the New
York line, we have attempted to do some justice
to. When cleared of its timber it will become a
most luxuriant agricultural region; and a care
ful writer for the New York Tribune, who has
traversed thoroughly the entire valley, predicts
that such are its capabilities for supporting a
dense, thrifty and industrious population, that
before the year lON it will contain 1,000,000
inhabitants. Front the numerous roads now pro
jected and being built to drain this prolific valley,
we think this no unlikely result. This Allegheny
Valley Road meets the Sew York State line&
Ceres, and the New York and Erie Road, of the
same guage, at Olean, and by another branch at
Corning. 'the Buffalo and Pittsburgh Road will
come into it at Johnsonl. The Genes,m
Canal. Rochester and PittsbtVgh, and Attica and
Allegheny Roads will unite with it at Olean. A
mere glance at the map will demonstrate the
importance and value of-these connections, the
immense range of country which they open to
Pittsburgh, the excellent connection with the
Uhio river which it offers to New York, Boston,
Albany, Rochester and Buffalo, as also the char
acter of the rich and fruitful region which will
in great part make Pittshfitigh its entrepot.
tin the east, the various; roads, either contem
plated or in progress, will, when finished, place
Pittsburgh in the closest and straightest possible
connection with IVashington, Baltimore, Phila
delphia, New York and Boston ; and first in im
portance is—
N. The Pennsylvania Centeal, a most admira
bly constructed roacl, connects Pittsburgh with
Philadelphia in the straightest possible lino al
lowable by Pennsylvapia geography, and with
Baltimore by a course rot so direct. This road,
scarcely yet finished, with only one track, and
controlled by two parties, is yet transacting an
immense business. lis revenues for the year 1853,
while yet unprovided with adequate rolling stock,
with comparatively few connections, and with
numerous old-fashioned inclined planes to be
overcome, were over $::,000,000. Its results to
Pittsburgh are already beyond the most sanguine
anticipations of its friends, and its promise for
the future is most brilliant. A few days since,
1,700 through passengers were received in PiUs
burgh by tiro trains, while 1,500 has not he4n
sn unusal number. During the month of March
there was transported from Pittsburgh to Phila
delphia by this road 11,:;00 tons, to Baltimore,
1,801. It has not only succeeded in causing a
reversion of freights and travel into their direct
and natural channels, but it has also drawn them
from courses in which they have long flowed:and
which seemed to be their natural ones. Thus,
in the month of March, this road carried east
vast quantities of freight from St. Louis, which
has heretofore reached the eastern markets
through New Orleans, via Ocean. Thousands of
barrels of flour marked l'eru Mills," have also
gone by this route. By n comparison of the
March' exhibits of some of the most important
and flourishing roads in our country, some idea
may ho formed of the immense business which
this will shortly he able to accomplish:—

When it is remembered that this is a new road,
with not a single branch. and. that the receipts
from way passengers and freight on the Columbia
Road are not included in the above estimate, the
result must be as surprising as it is gratifying to
its friends. Bet -, we five years have elapsed, it is
highly probable that twu other excellent parallel
routes will unite Pittsburgh with Itarrisburr,
and three more Harrisburg with Philadelphia.
