opinion of a rail road through the Atlantic
Stares TO New Orleans-and also request
inc information relative the geography,
topography, and geology, OF the region
thron5b which the road should pass, with
an estimate of the probable cost OF con-
strucuon. and the general and local advan-
tages which would result to the States ITS

To answering these inquiries, Mr.. Gin
ton occuoies more than twenty pages OF the
nam5blet. The whole distance from New

1862 miles, estimate the cost OF the road
having a stone foundation, at so 900 Der
mile: and the distance from New York 20
Washington being 266 miles, MS construc-
