The intelligent editor Of The Nashville wbig.
who Is now on a tour L. the East, presents the ful.
loving ~blrdseyo view Of his route from Nashville
~ Baltimore:
The nute from Nashville and Maysville, which /
travelled n few days ngo, is for the most part on a
McAdamIzed road No one can fully realize the
comforts Of such a ROAD until he finds the stage
coach laborng over a rough section of Ihe old
inshIoned road. Several opportunities uf This SORT
are afforded between B1rJsiown and Lexington;
and they also uc~ur between Mlysville. KY. and
Zanesville,OhI where the Ohio Turn, likes lnIerserts
the National or Cumberland Road. This last work
Is one OF the most agreeable highways in n e conn
try, and hut for the intervention Of The mountains IA
Pennsylvania, The comforts Of land travel would
almost equal Those Of well appointed steamboat
Even This obstacle has in a measure been removed

Rail Road. Upwards of one hundred miles Of this
work have been completed, and The line opened for
travel into the very heart ~ The Alleghnnics. since
