The terms Of the contracts require the work to
be commenced on The LIST of January, 1850, and
completed by the 25th day of December, 1851
The work is divided into sections Of about one mile
each making the total distance about twelve miles
and three,6fths. 1T is estimated that tho grading
and masonry, according TO the contract prices will
cost about $50, 000 some SIS 900 less than the esti
mate of the Engineer. 1t has not been determined
as yet which route will be selec,ed-,he Northern
by McCLURE's, or the Southern by DIR. DoLp's
The decision of this question will probably turn up
on the li5erality displayed in the cesson of lands
We understand that the maximum grade of the road
between Stanton and Waynesboro', going Eas,
(Which is with the trade) will be srt fire feet per
mile, and the maximum Westward siniy- eight feet
per mile. The curves ara all of large radii, vary
ing from 1900 20 1850 feet.
The gentlemen into whose hands the work has
been coniided, are highly spoken OF as competent
and experienced men, and there will naturally
spring up little rivalry between them, tending to
expedition, and workmanlike execution. We may
expect 10 have road well graded and ready for the
