COMMUNICATION.
ron rHs AMrnrcAN.


I see BY the reports Of the proceedings OF
The Senate of Pennsylvania, that certain Of
our Senators are endeavoring to effect the
repeal of the act incorporating company to
,n.ke a rail road from the town Of Erie, on
Lake Erie, westward into the state Of Ohio,
under the alledged reason, that il will benefit
the trade Of Philadelphia. am disposed to
rive those Senators credit for sincerity Of in.
tensiom but can go no further. think
they have entirely mistaken the interest of
the state at large, and Of the city Of Philadel-
phia, in particular. Let US see how the mati
Ter stands. By the valleys Of the Schuykill
and West Branch Of the Susquehanna, the
distance to the Town Of Erie, on Lake Erie
fs about 400 miles, more or less. A Rail Road
tthe Reading and Pottsville,) extending about
100 miles of the distance is already made,
and in profitable operation. From Pottsvilie
to Sunbury is about 40 miles, 90 of which are
made, and in operation. From Sunbury, at
the confluence Of the North and West Branch
es of the Susquehanna, to Wiliamsport, in
Lycoming county, on the West Branch Of the
Susquehanna is AZ miles. Here the Sunbury
& Erie rail road would meet the Williamsport
and Elmira rail road; running norihwardly in
10 the State of New York From thence il
would continue on its own route up the West
Branch and the Sinnemahonng TO pass the
Summit level of the Allegany-and onward
to the town of Erie, before mentioned. A
short distance above Lock HaveE, about 70
miles west Of Snnbury, commences the tim
ber lands-which are pretty well timbered
almost to Lake Erie. These Lands abound
with streams for water-powers-with Iron
ore and with bituminous coal, for 140 miles
of the route. The whole line can be made
without an inclined plane See Miller's Re-
port on Sunbury & Erie Rail Road ] and also
without damages for land, that fruitful source
of expense elsewhere. When the whole road
shall have been made, the Pennsylvania and
Ohio Rail Road, is but continuance of the
same into the State of Ohio, in order TO lead
the trade Of that State into the City of Phila-
delphia. Hoc then can that road injure its
trade! The people living in the country
through which this road will run, have at all
times cheerfully paid their taxes to the State,
for the purpose of making Improvements
elsewhere, without reaping any benefit them
selves-while there is no part Of the State:
whose yet undeveloped resources will more
richly repay the expense of such an improve
ment. Whatever trade can be brought from
the West OH TO the valley of the Schuylkill,
Philadelphia is sure of,-which is not the
case with any trade which is brought lower
down the Susquehanna than Sunbury, which
must always be shared with Baltimore. Can
it be possible that our legislature will sacri.
fee the interest Of the whole Northwest part
of Pennsylvania, by thus repeating any part
of we'll considered system of internal i'm
provement. Yours, &c. w. MIC.

A new era in Veterinary Science is about com.
mcncing this is needed, for ii is most lamcnta-
bic fact, that the science of Veterinary Surgery
scarcely has existence in this country, while in
Europe there is greater improvement in the
knowledge and practice Of the art than has ever
taken place inhuman medicine.
The undersigned has spent much time in the
study Of this branch Of science in "London and
Edinboro," and has witnessed the practice Of sew
eral eminent men in the treatment Of diseases Of
Horses and Cattle. He also availed himself Of the
Of the researches Of Licbig, and other celebrated
men, who have contributed so much towards ju-
dicious and enlightened treatment Of the Horse.
The object is to treat the disease Of Cattle on the
same fundamental principles that guide the practi
toner in human medicine, and to make use Of
those thcrapeutical agents only, that when given
in small quantities, are capable of exciting
and increasing the natural functions, with
out diminishing or destroying their power. The
undersigned will devote himself to the manufac-
ture Of the following articles, yet every Medicine
used in regular practice may be obtained at short
notice. Pamphlets, describing the different d.
