equipass. but at great Inconvenience and ex-
pense. BY Canals all this can be done. and the
soldier can cook and live easily on his way
Disincumbered Of his baggage, he can easily
keep pace with the Canal boat, and save the
grea, cos, Of being himself transported. Rail-
roads cannot transport artillery, for the guns
would have to be dismounted and taken % pie
ces, and The caissons would have 10 be unload
ed and taken 10 pieces. The ar,iIlery-horses
would be worn out in keeping pace with Rail-
road carriage; sc. When we iehecl on the
number Of carriages which would be necessary
TO move FIVE thousand men, with their baggage
and provisions, il appears to be an ahsurdity
or moral ,mpossibility TO attempt j, on a Rail-
road. The advantages Of Canal Tor ibis pur-
pose are too obvious TO be enumerated.
w. do no, deny the praclieabifiy Of Rail.
Roads, q. will be seen from the whole tenor
of our remarks. We only say thai, for the
present sta,e ant wants Of our county, a Ca
nal from this place to the Ohio, or even to
Cumberland, is in every particular preferable
to Rail road.
Rail. Road nsportalisn has some advantage
in speed, bu, that, We perceive, by recent dis
closures, IS more ideal than substantial, the
proprie,ors Of the Msueh Chunk Rail Road
have had 10 lessen the speed Of their as 10
SIX or seven miles an hour, to avoid the inju-
rious frict ton OF more rapid motion; whilst the
experiment Of the passage boats on the Canal
between the Ches apeake and the Delaware has
demonstrated the praciicabiliiy OF navigation.
on a wide Canal like ours, NJ the same speed
a. is found practicable on The Mauch Chunk
Railway.
We could say more on this subject but,
finally, the expense Of the Liverpool aud Man,
chester Railroad, with all he advantages Of
! cheap labor and plenteous ma'sIiel and skill,
has been a hundred thousand dollar. per mile.
What the Baltimore road will cost, cannot be
told until il ge,s among the Mountains -
Cost what i, may, we shall lie glad TO see II
completed on condition, always, hat i. does
| no, interfere with our parallel line Of Canal.
Our worthy friends a, Baltimore think that
a ride on this road would convert US; and
| they invite US 10 take il. On or before the mex,
Anniversary Of lndep endence, our Canal will
be completed TO the mouth Of Seneca. IL our
| editorial brethren will cnr,e over tina, day,
and Join an excursion which we purpose to
make upon il, they shall be heartily welcome,
and we will return the compliment whenever
their road shall nave been completed to Eli
