The amounts are set down to the year in
which the railroad was opened for use. This
does not show in what years the work was
done. Thus, in the year 1874, there is no
new road set down. but in that year q great
deal Of railroad work was done. The year
le47 is notyet complete. The grand result
shows, that in seventeen years, five thousand
miles Of railroad have been constructed in
the United States, ut on expense of one hun
dred and twenty millions Of dollars! This
is unprecedented in the history of civil con-
struc.ions. 1t demonstrates, beyond any
other fact, the gigantic growth, the unceas-
ing industry, and CUMULATIVE power of cap
ital in this new and vigorous nation. The
present annual investment in railroad con-
structions is about fifteen millions ofdolars!
In illustration of the growing power and
use of ra lroa4s, we just find this striking
fact in the list of imports into Boston for the
week ending 23d October, that there were
received Of

VALUABLE STATISTICS.

The subjoine1 statement which we clip
from the St. Louis Republican, setting forth
the value and rapid increase Of railroads in
the United States, is entitled to the careful
perusal of every reader. This is subject
which cannot be too often or forci bly, pre-
sented to the people Of the west. Every CT
tizen of the country, ALPHABETICALLY the
west, has deep interest in the progress of
railroads; for to this communication, more
than any other. must they eventually find
themselves indebted for good and perma-
nent market for their vast fields of surplus
produce. Then, we say, read and reflect,
that railroads are no: only profitable to those
who engage in them as an enterprise, bat
to the country through which they pass; for
every dollar chat the stock holders realize.
the Turning and mercantile community must
realize hundred.
From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser,
paper to which we are very often indebted
for valuable statistics, we take this sumna-
ry concerning railroads in The United Siutes.
The construction and increase of railroads
in the United States, during the last fifteen
years, exceeds by far anything heretofore
known in the world, as to public works or
monuments. "Doggctt's Railroad Guide"
for September, lS47, has table of railroads
now in operation, and, by comparing those
tables, we arrive at the following summary
of the amount Of railroad construction in
each year, and the amount of capital inves-

for the last session was desperate lobelia

him, and would not perhaps to this day, had
they not had free access to the picture gal
