Railways in the United States.

The extent Of railways in progress is
difficult 10 ascertain. The Railway Jour-
nal estimates il at 5000 miles, and new
ones are daily projected and undertaken.
and, unless the absorption ofcapital should
be more than the country can bear, it will
be no easy matter TO estimate the extent
to which these works will be carried in
the III xt ten wears. We should not be
surprised 10 see il more than double what
II Is al present.
There must, however, come a time
when this great network of intercommu-
nIcaton will be, in great measure, COM
plete, at least as far as the States lying
eastward of the Mississippi are concerned.
But who can contemplate such result
without feeling thrill of amazement in
every nerve at the mighty consequences
that are TO flow from the completion of
such Il vast scheme Of internal communi-
cations; for who can estimate the effect
upon the business of the country, when
the enormous frain upon is capital for the
construction and outfit of these roads shall
be turned into other channels, and when
the roads themselves, instead of absorbing,
become good dividend paying stock |!
Time and space will then be almost prac-
tically annihilated--the Mississippi be-
come neighbor of The Hudson, and the
gulfs of Mexico and St. Lawrence be
nearer 10 each other than the great Lakes
and Ohio were five years ago! What
magnificent prospect is this TO contemplate!
How the heart swells with pride at the
thought of living under government that
fosters and chershes such stupendous en-
terprises, and among people who have
the foresight and energy to carry TO
successful issue such mighty schemes
Who is there, then, that dares raise his
hand TO destroy such a government, or at
tempt to throw obstacles in the way OF
the free, social, and business intercourse
Of such people 7 Should there be any,
however, at this time, ten years hence
will see them swept away before the
brooms of the iron horse, who, with
nerves of brass and sinews Of steel, and
breath of flame, will then be coursing over
every valley and hill and fertile plain from
the rock-bound coast of New England to
the fower-wreathed pralries of the once
far West, from the cool crystal waters of
the ST. Lawrence TO the rice fields and
palmetto groves of the South, and scat
lering in his train the lights ofreligion, Of
education, of refinement. and all the bless
ings that flow from higher civilization,
