MissisSinni aud Atlantic Railroads

We have repeatedly adverted to tie various pro-
Jecied routes Of Railroad and steam communication
between the Atlantic coast and the Mississippi val
ley, some Of them extending To the Mississippi river
Itself. One Of these Is by way Of the Western aud
New York Railroads. Lake Erie, the central Michi-
gan Railroad, leading from Detroit to st. Joseph or
Chicago, and Railroad thence TO Gaena or some
other point on the Mississippi. Another consists IN
part Of divergence from the above line, Buffalo.
by Railroad extending along the south shore OF
Lake Erie Toledo and thence through the northern
parts of Ohio and Indiana to Chic5go. third route
proposed consists Of further divergence from the
last mentioned line point the south shore
Of Lake Erie, and extending through the State ct
Ohio. and thence through Indiana from Richnund
to Terre Haute, AID thence through Illinois to ST.
Louis.
For the purpose of bringing this later project be-
fEe the public and before the legislatures Ut the sew
eral States Interested convention was held nj indl-
annapolis in May last, Of which the Hon. William
Bebb, Governor of the State of Ohio. President.
There were lightweight members present, from the
several States and their proceedings indicated an
earnest determination TO carry the project into
ton. Among the members present a delegate from
the State of Illinois and one of the Vice Presidents
was Mr.. w. 5. Wait, formerly of this city In
Hunts Magazine flr the present month, we find the
following report Of the address Of Mr.. Wait before
this in which the objects Of the enterprise
are developed to which we invite the attention OF
the reader. Further movements wall probably be
made the legislatures of Illinois aud Indiana, for
the promotion of this object, of which we snail not
fail take due notice, with a view inviting the
operation Of such of readers may be disposed
TO aid in the project.
These western lines Of Railroad although they
will admit of being extended to New York and tie
Eastern Staes by way Of Lake Erie and Buffalo,
will also be connected with other Atlantic routes par
ticularly the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which
now bids fair to be shortly extended to Wheeling,
and with the Great Pennsylv ania Railroad. which
will lead from Philadelphia 60 Pittsburgh. In proper
portion the several routes leading from the Allan
tic the confines Of the Mississippi valley shall be
advanced towards the state of perfection winch they
are destined to reach at remote period, the extern
sion of these lines the Mississippi will become
important and will command the increasing attention
of the public.
