Plank Roads.


 We would call atteption to article under this head, upon our fourth page, extracted from "Ga- fesee, R0ods." 1t Is subject that is just begin ming to awaken interest and observation We have repeatedly eBdeayored to impress upon readers the iucaeulabe benefits io be derived from the est ,b- Iishment of good passabls roads, in every portion Of our State. In this wooden country of ours, Piaak Roads precisely thething needed They better, by far, for ali tine purposes "f trauspor ta,ion of cmigrants and produce than railroads.
 From statistics of experiments and calculations now before us, which We have not room 10 insert, it Is shown conciusivsly that horse on u plank road can do the same work as four upon the com mon road, even when in theif best condition. IL has already beeu discovered that labor is wealth. and that whatever tends 10 increase the product of la bor muitiplies ptcportiona,ely the wealth of the community in which it is employed. Hitherto steam has bean employed as the principal labor-sa- wing commodity.
 "This is emphatically the age of steam. We are mskiug it, in every branch of industry and art, perform the labor of both man and beast It is as yesterday only that steam has been employed a motive power, and ye; it furnishes force estima- ted than l0000 900 of horses, 50. .oU0000 of men. Aud when we consider that 5 out of every persons women children, or infirrn persons, we may safety say iha; steam, a prime mover of machinery, is now spinning more cotton and wool, weaving more cloth. moulding and polishing Sl6se metal. than eau be done by all the laborers of the earth, with such hand-impemcnts only. used at the beginning of the present century,
 Steam, however in its application to manufac- tures and railroads, is more peculiarly fitted to benefit acommercal community; ours is purely an agricultural population, and to them the eonstruc- lion of plank roads. appropriately styled the Far mer's Rsiiraads, would be sourc. of immediate and continually increasing profit This profit wilt be derived from the saving of time, Iabor aud na- terisi, employed in inc transportation of their productions to a market. The increase of the fa- ciliiies for transportation have natural and aevi iabie tendency 10 increase the demand and prOduc- ton, and to enhance the va!ae of real estates, so that tho whole community wiil share the advsn- tages reaped by. tho farmers. Ia addition to the local freghs, the endless tide of emigration to the far west progressing through our State, would warrant the construction of these improvements upon all Of our principal roads, and euable thc stockholders to make very profitable investment. In Few York. where seyefsi of the plank roads are in use the profits of the first aud secoad years have (wiih srght tos) enabled the owners to div de from IS to 90 per cent per upon the capital after dedueling a sinking fuad for repairs. &c. No DOT construction of plank roads than Arkansas. and we commend the subject To tue serious consideration of our shtefprising citizens.
