The Ohio Seventy Four.--A letter from
an officer 10 the Boston Transcript, gives
a vivid description of the great qualities of
this noble vessel, the last monument Of
the IameutedEckford's genius. The writer
says;
ut would he presumption in me or any
other man to say what she will do. but do
no, hesitate TO say, she surpassesin every
rcspcct-saiIing, working, &c., every
ship in which have been since | was
first spriuked with salt water. | have had,
You will certainly admit, some experience,
and some opportunity ofjudsing correctly,
but | never supposed such ship could be
built-a ship possessing in SO great IA de-
gree all the qualifications of a perfec, ves-
sci of war. She is as animated as pilot
boat, and, remembering her immense bulk
and weight, almost as easily managed. Her
performance is truly astonishing. We
are now passing the Rock, (,wenty
days out. and the passage has been some
what clustering. We have had good
opportunity to Try her. To give you some
idea of her sailing; with topsails double
reefed and top gaIlants over them, close
hauled to The wind, she has repeatedly
sailed twelve and a half knots. This is
the truth and not exaggeralion. When
we left New. York our draft was "a feet s
inches forward, 26 feet aft. Sill of mid
ship por, from water feet inches. Her
battery brough, her down IA inches"

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS IN INDIANA

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS IN INDIANA
The estimated cost Of internal improve
ments, authorized by The laws OF Indi.
ana, is S21 100000.
During the past winter, the Legislature
ofthat State have passed law to classi.
fy their public works, SO that the more
important works may be completed first
A bill has also been introduced, and will
doubtless become law, granting the right
Of way to connect by rail roads the public
works Of Illinois with those of that State.
One measure recently adopted by that
State, is justly considered of vast impor-
tance as connected with one of tho routes
of Illinois. 1t is an act providing for a
railroad from New Albany in that state, 10
unite with the Mount Carmel and Alton
route in this State. New Albany being
nearly opposite Louisville. on the Ohio, 1.-The
completion of this route will form direct
communication between Louisville and
Alton, or St. Louis on the Mississippi, by
road Of only 260 miles, wv bile the distance
bv river is 700 miles. When the Charles
ton and Louisville road, which is now
in active progress, is completed, there
will thus be opened a continuous line of
railroad from Alton 10 the Atlantic, at
Charleston.
That this route will be one of immense
advantage and profit, can scarcely admit
of doubt. 1t was estimated by "A committee
of Congress, that upwards of $4,000 emf
grants pass west from Louisville, during
the i've months that navigation OF the riv-
er is interrupted. In four months upwards
OF 10000 emigrants have crossed single
ferry at New Albany for the West; aud
200 have arrived at St. Louis,by this route,
in single day. During The past year
upwards oflO0O passengers arrived in that
city from Louisville, by one line of stages.
These facts serve to show what a thor
oughfare this has already become, aud we
may reasonably infer, when tho railroad
is completed, the travel aud transportation
will be immense.
Application has been made to Congress
for grant OF land in aid Of that part Of
the route which lies within the State of
Indiana, aud committee have reported
favorably upon the same. Irsuch grant
be made to Indiana, Illinois may reaSona-
bly, expect like grant in proportion, which
will greatly lessen the expense of the
State.-Prairie Beactn.
