t!THE RIoHT WAY.--It is aid that the wheat
sowe in some towns in this State the present year,
actually amounts than was raised last year.
And we are not inclined 10 doubt the correctness
of the assertion, when we and hear such parti-
cuars as are given below
The Eastern Republican states that within its
knowledge many individuals have got i'm from
thirty 10 seventy FIVE bushels each Advertiser says,
ssWe understand one man in Waterviile, has sown
this season, over one hundred bushels ofwhcat 81
another somewhere up the river, one hundred and
fifty bushels'' This appearsto be rather large
amount: but we have been informed by several in
whose statements we have the most implicit faith,
that many farmers on the Sandy river, have in
nearly one hundred bushels each, great portion
of il ON burn. ground are also informed that
The price Of wheat on Sandy river, has been lower
the pas, season, by retail, than the New York
prices at wholesale.
lfthe crop should be but fair and the prospect is
encouraging, thea of wheat raised this
son, will be very great, and the same may be said
of all other grain, &c, for tho huge paws Of the
farmer have no, been idle. We joyfuly anticipate
that the State treasury will haze shell out pref
ty considerable lot Of bounty money TO pay for this
summers work. Farmers, this is better than tot
ing logs OH speculation-t is the right way. "God
will help those who try to help themsalyes.'-

:, ;ls. and then only with slight bearing. The
friction or wear will be but little, the same time
rendering i, safe 20 .un upon with almost unlimi-
ted speed The iron on the top rail may be varied,
ION different roads, according to the. wish OF the
owners, it costing more or less, according 10 the
weigh, of the iron; but if light and thin must be
the width of the railing, three inches. The rail
as before observed, must only be of hard wood,
but of even temperature, free of knots or sap
The iron ON the rails must be at the ends, be las
tened with large wood screws in the middle, coun-
Ter sunk nails will do. This is to prevent the
heavy action and pressure of the wheels from tear
ing up the ends from the wood. If the iron be
strong i, may be of different shapes, and fastened
TO the wood in any convenient manner, allowing
double Hanged wheels to run thereon. Less care
lis necessary in selecting the wood, if your iron be
strong. If strong cast iron should be used Tor the
railing, wood may be dispensed with, and the rails
may be bolted directly on the top Of the posts.
The ,urnouts are made principally in the form
of gates which open other pieces of track. which
other pieces should little out; and placed
at proper distance fiom the main Track, these
should be of sufficient length 10 retain large
train of cars, while the opposite train is passing
by similar gate the first train resumes its position
on the main track. These gates or turnouts are
hung with strong hinges. and open and shut oy a
moving lever up or down, at the same lime push
ing the gate in or out by hand. The front OF Inc
gate has friction roller, underneath, bearing on
piece of circular rail- directly under and parallel
with the gate, is placed strong timber, the length
OF the gate, say Is TO 20 feet, supported BY solid
bed work. This bed work must be observed on
the main track, as well the turnouts, so that the
gates being made of strong timber, with the ends
resting Oh this bed work, will sustain the same
weight asthe other parts of,he road.
| For tuning round locomotive Or car at the END
of the road, or any where else,a piece of track is
made long enough for eltner 10 turn upon which IS
turned on centre or post firmly set The wings
OF said pieces Of track are supported by friction
wheels underneath, running OH circular railing,
thus turning part all round, as may be necessary
Any power may be used for this road II you
v.ish to 90 ahead, put on steam locomotive, and
With perfect safety the speed may be carried to
| forty miles all hour. If hose-a sort OF tow path
is necessary, and with rope attached, as with
the canal boats, go on. This path need not be
level, but along the ground as you find ii: let your
rope be long enough, is all that is necessary
This road passing through forest would of course
much less than to have the timber brought to It,
but III no will cost than half OF the pre-
sent Rail Roads. Besides 1t can be built i'll less
than half the time, with the same number of hands
and of course nearly pay for itself, before the
other could start.

Dear Sir--I have examined your plan for a
SINGLE TRACK RAILWAY, and cheerfuly
give you my opinion of its merits. Where cheap
OF construction or great speed IS an object, it
possesses advantages over any other. would es-
innate the cost of construction at less than one nall
the expense of building double track embarked
Road; and from the peculiar arrangement of the
Track and Cars, it is barely within the bounds Of
possibility that any fatal accident could occur.
From my acquaintance with the Southern states,
consider it peculiarly adapted 10 the construction
of lateral roads in that section of the county
Steam Power can be applied and used upon your
Road without any difficulty whatever.
