l.a COSs of Railroads The Charleston Patriot
gives the following statistics in reference to the
cost of railroads in this country. At the present
time il will be of interest to our readers We
read is below Sal ZOO per mile. In fact, every
years experience enables Railroads to be con
structed at cheaper rate than before: rg.g 90
In The State of New York there are % rail
rouds whose HggIegate length is 705 miles, and
the average cost of construction for each mile has
S26 0OO OF these roads, the most expensive vas
the Mohawk and Hudson Road, which cos e65
900 per mile The least expensive was the Bnf
falo and Black Rock Road, whose cost was oniy
81 200 per mile.
There are IN Pennsylvania 7Ol miles Of rail
road, whose average cost per mile amounted to
S4l,7OO s.-aassii sas.. -ss-e
La Delaware, rs miles of road cost $500, 600
which is an average Of $37 500 per mile.
In Maryland, the average cost per mile Of 304
miles of railroad was Sal 900. 40 -.,sr.
In Virginia there are 34s miles of road, which
cost Oh an average SI5, 400 per miles. fAa7s as
The average cost per mile, of 246 miles o
road in North Carolina, was S13750 ai s.a.7a
In South Carolina we have 202 miles of road
which cost us S2e, 600 per mile.
In Georgia, $4,000 per mile were paid foI

II and they may possibly lead to good results
II is certainly very desirable that we should have
some acquaintance with the resources of the State
and the extent of her products which our present
means OF information very partially furnishes,
Few persons, perhaps, uneonnected with The
commercial transactions now carried on in this
State in the single article Of Tntpentine, can form
an idea Of the quantity annually made IN our lin
Its, the amount of labor employed in its manuac
lure the large capital invested, the large number
supported by it and the various 10 which i;
appropriated. Nor are we prepared 10 enlighten
them fully upon the subject, because Of the neces
sarily Limited Information which even dealers IN
the article possess in reference to it. In our con
Iversation with intelligent gentlemen engaged ia
the business, we have been enabled to gather VI
some particulars however, which may be interest
ing. --e.
We find the impression to be, that about 800,
900 barrels Of Tutpentine are now annually made
In This State. Not more than zoo, 600 barrels, il
that were shipped to New York and other ports
of the whole being distilled in this State. The
estimated value 10 the makers is about Sl,700,0 ,0OO
annually, and may be $4,000, 900, About 4 oil
5000 laborers are engaged in making it, and per
haps three times as many more human beings are
supported mainly from the proceeds Of its frs
sale. The distillalion ol Turpentine inthis State
is now carried on very extensively, which will
render the shipment of it in its crude state, very
small in future. 1t is supposed that there are now
in operation about $50 stills which at the average
cost of $500 with fixtures, shows that there is
an expenditure of 1926, 900 to begin with in the
dstilling of Spirits of Turpentine, This number
Of stills to have steady work would require 900,-
600 barrels, annually-more than is now made
which to US is an indication that the distilling
business is overdone. Should the makers of the
article continue to multiply stills and thus monopo-
ize the distiIIing as well as the making it will be
necessary forthose now engaged in ii to invest
their capital in other pursuits. The cost of dstill-
ing is very great, and when we reckon the cost of
transportation, the profits of distilers of ship
ners, commission merchants, and The venders of
the article abroad, it will be seen that the capital
Ond labor employed is not only immense, but the
numbers who are supported by the manufacture
aud sale of the article is astonishing. Perhaps
there is article produced in this country by
the same number Of iaborers, which contributes so
much 10 the commerce and prosperity of the coun-
try as the article OF Turpentine. NeaOberminn.

find that they attribute the defeat of Robert Dale
Owen, in Indiana, not to his political principles
bat on account of certain notions which he enter
hins on moral and religious subjects. He has
published book in which he puts forth opinions
and principles is said totally at vdriance with
sound morality and the Christian religion. His
opponent attacked him on this weak point in the
campaign, and the result is, that he is beaten We
