1t ia true that in sense, this is a question with
which, ms an engineer officer, have Fight 10 med

accomplished, would not be so prosumptuous rs to
say that II will not; but that it can be commenced
now, and be brought to successful period within ten
twenty years do not believe. Why just look mt
the time it has taken the whole United States TO do
what il has done towards making one continuous
chain of railroad from Maine to New Orleans-not so
great distance as that under consideration. Con-
template the many centres or points along the route
where the work has been simultaneously going In
cCnnexon with this have regard to the rich and
finely tmbered country through which the several
