Is no wonder that capitalists are becoming
crazy for railroad investments. This
mania has spread through Great Britain
for the past few years at such rate, that
the fast anchored isle has been tracked all
over with these roads. il was recently
stated in Parliament. that $1,000 miles OF
railway had been sanctioned, requiring a
sum equal 70 ; 800, 600, 900 for their com
pletion; and, up to September, lS4S, about
half this amount, or S719,740, 900, bad ac-
tually been expended on railways then in
operation.
We have now in the United States about
$500 miles of railway completed at a
cost Of $3.50, 1000, 900, and, before the
close OF this year, at least 5000 miles
more will be IN contemplation, and capi-
tai will be found rapidly centering toward
them. Among these are two stupendous
Iines--One from Cincinnati TO St Louis,
to cost So, 900, 900; and another from lake
Michigan or the Mississippi to the Pacific
ocean, to cost over SOC, 900 900, for dis
lance of more than 1000 miles. Besides
these. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, ILL

but little trouble: All subscriber has to do is TO
send the money to us by letter, at our risks and in
his next paper after the money comes to hand, he
will find his receipt, which will show the time from

shown their readiness -at all times to comply with
our terms. We are glad to say that we have many
