London Morning Chronicle.
Since reading the above, our attention has been
directed to the Railroad route through the Valley
OF the Mohawk, destined to be one Of the greatest
thoroughiares on our globe. Though the grade OF
this road is excellent throughout tho entire line,
Still the speed in comparison with some otherroad
must be admitted to be slow-and yet considering
that the fat rail with the exception Of inconsdera
BILE portions at this end OF the route is the only rail
IN use-the speed is perhaps on the average as
great as is consistent with the endurance OF the
road, and the safety olthe passengers and although
the route in its present condition may answer the
demands OF the public this cannot long be the
The great increase OF travel and business that must
resa, from the perpetualy increasing settlement OF
the great West VIII soon demand stronger fixtures
and greater speed. OF this, the Companies con
cerned are evidently becoming sensible Already
the Utica Company have contracted FOR the heavy
rail Tor their entire section OF the road. The syria
cuse section either nave done about TO do the
same thing The Troy road has already the heavy
rail-, and the Mohawk and Hudson requires the new
rail for only very small portion OF the distance TO
place it in the same excellent condition. The re
naming companies on the route will soon find II 10
be to their interest TO place their several sections
on q similar footing.
When this shall be accomplished, no reason viii
exist why the speed on this route should not be as
great as any existing route and should this be
the case Buffalo viii be brought within eight ten
hours OF the tide waters OF the Atlantic, and the
time required Tor communicating between Europe
and the great inland waters OF the West proper
tionably diminished
So great has been the difficulty IN getting the
produce OF the interior TO market IN season during
the past year and so great The Inconvenience and
expense arising from delay, that Il IS confidently
expected that the next Legislature viii grant 70
the Railroad companies the liberty TO carr freight
through the entire year and this the more conf
IDENTIFY, such permission would not only accom-
,odae the citizens, but greatly increase The reve-
nues OF The State as much business VIII then De
done through the medium OF the railroad win our
Commercial Emporium which now finds is way 70
ether markets and through o;her channels. Il
New-York wishes TO maintain its relative stand
ing among the States II mus, The rine has gone
b. when !; VIII do to trust 10 natural advantages
We mus, compete with the rest OF the word IN
al hose facilities for conveying merchandise
and passengers which the discovery OF steam has
furnished
Nowhere has Nature afforded al opportunity Of
constructing SO long reach OF Rad in 50 perfect
manner, AZ so small an expense We have it
therefore IN orr power TO place ourselves on the
vantage ground il comparison with The common
carriers Q: other States and other countries aud
We DO II, the valley OF the Mohawk VII be among
the greatest thoro1yhtarss OF our country, and
New-iosk rs great Commercial Emporium But
there IS no time 70 BE lost rivals are rising uP, and
i MAJ be difficult, by any provision TO recover the
travel and he uads when Il has passed away
