Charleston and Hamburg Railroad 1t appears from
a report of a Committee oil Stockholders Of the Louis
vile, Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad published in
the last Charleston Courier that The total Of the
Hamburg road is S3,nl2 923 This amount gives for
l3G miles en- average cost Of 22 1873 and fraction per

The cos, of the rosd from Brauchvie to Columbia i,
estimated by The engineer al 81 60U 000 making total
| for both roads Of 81 Gle 923
The estimate OF tie Engineer Of the cost Of the Cen
trat Railroad Tor The whole distance from Savannah To
Macon, is $1,000 OOO-lengsl 1913 miles This gives an
| average Of Sll 9I7 and fraction per mile
The Central Road is now than half completed
and has not thus far exceeded the estimates Of the En-
Gn'er and we therefore infer that his estimate correct
for the remainder.
The Central Railroad will therefore cost, il is pre-
sumed 0 23G per mile less than The Railroads Of South
