and Ohio Rail road has been engaged
for about month past in examining the
various passes over the Alleghanies be-
tween Cumberland and the Western
waters, with view TO the best route for
the location of the Rail road. The
experiments which have been so fire..
quen,ly made on the inclined planes Of
the Railroad between Baltimore and
Frederick establishing the very i'm.
portant fact that the locomotive engines
Of the company can readily overcome
an elevation of one hundred feet to the
mile, suggested the probability that
the road could be carried over the
mountains without the Intervention Of
an inclined plane requiring stationary
power. The surveys Of the Engineer,
we are truly gra,ified to state, have set
tied the question definitely 10 its favor.
The route can be so located that not a
single stationary engine will be requir.
ed in passing the AIleghanies. The
gain OF time and other advantages
which Rail road of this character will
possess, are 100 obvious to require e.
