And you lead on the band ;
And is that force enlisted
To tight the union wars, °

_ _ _
B. Morehead built thirty-nine miles of
the road, between Sunbury and Williams
port, twice crossing the Susquehanna by
long bridges,for the sum of 61,981,260 21,
and completed their contract with the
close of 1855: In that year the line from
Erie to Warren was let. In 1858 the
corporation purchased the State canals,
and in December of the ensuing year the
road was -opened from Erie to Warren,
fifty-five miles. In 1861 the read was
re-named the Philadelphia and Erie, in
stead of the Sunbury and Erie, and per
manently leased to the Pennsylvania Cen
tral CoMpany for thirty per cent, of the
revenue; atter the completion of the road.
The last rail was laid in August of this
year, and the great project, after so many
vicissitudes and perplexities, is an accom
plished fact to adorn the annals
,of the
great civil war. That it has been com
pleted at all, considering the natural dif
ficulties to be overcome, increased by the
troubles of '4l and '46, is one evidence of
the steady growth in power and wealth of
the State, and a durable tribute to the
power of those who have had its manage
ment, Now that it is completed, and
added to the long list of iron 'bands with
which.the good old commonwealth is be
ing girded, we may all indulge in a feel
ing of justifiable State pride, and look
forward to brightdi days in every depart
ment of .business.
The contest of Atlantic cities is for the
commerce of the great though undevel
oped west. For more than fifty years it
has been teen that the sceptre would fall
to whatever port controlled it. With a
foresight and energy which does infinite
credit to her citizens, New York has
paratively populous and wealthy. The
drain upon our State to build up another
would hare been reversed, and Pennsyl
vania might DOW be the equal of New
York Siete. The w , -Id
dors Is now done, and
although New York has 15 to 20 yeats
the start, it is ours now to make amends
for past neglect. Our trade and, travel
by way of Elmira can now mostly seek a
a shorter route, saving both time and mon
ey.
,The . lumber, boa), iron, and oil re
sources of the region will he developed,
and in return Central Pennsylvania pro-1
duce will find a market, and our surplus
population ~ . a place for business nearer]
home. Oar Lewisburg schools will find
new students, and our manufacrories near-.
er fields for all honorable efforts.
Success, then, to the Phila. & Eric
Railway ! Honorably and liberally con-1
ducted, it can hardly fail of being good l
stock and a great public blessing.
