HOW LONG /,


How long will it be before we may step into the
cars on the banks of the Hudson, and travel by
continuous railroad to Galena on the Mississippi?
The Erie Railroad will be open to Dunkirk with
in the coming year, which will land us on the
shore of Lake Erie. From Dunkirk to Toledo.
at the head OF Lake Erie, companies are either
organized or in process of organization for the
whole route, about $50 miles, and we are inform
ed there Is good ground to expect the compile
ton in two years from this time. From Toledo
TO Chicago, distance of $50 miles, two COM
panies are in operation, one the Michigan South
ern, the other the Northern Indiana. The for
mer company have now rs miles of road in OPP
Grafton, and in short time will extend to lis
miles. From this point to Chicago the line is
said to be of remarkably favorable character
According to report of Mr.. Engineer Jeryis,
which we have seen in manuscript,th balance of
this line about lao miles to Chicago will not cost
for land, grading and bridging ready for the rails,
over So 900 per mile, and this he considers an
ample estimate. He estimates the total capital
for road Gall iron rai) with liberal outfit of sta
tons, cars and engines for the $50 miles of main
line, and some 40 miles of branch road, at S4,-
100000 and that the whole line may be put in
complete operation by the close of next season.
Mr.. Jervis says this 'smay be regarded as taxing
the credulity of men who have only known such
works in tine Eastern portions of the country
The nature of the country is such, that very little
of the usual contingencies that attends the est
mates of similar works is involved in this line and
though it appears low, am fully satisfied that it
is not only sufficient but will be found an ample
estimate of the cost" This is certainly an ex-
traordinary line, and the early promise of its OPEN
ing is highly gratifying But we must take a
boat on Lake Erie, from Duakirk to Toledo, one
year after this road is opened before the Lake
Shore road is completed. From Chicago road
has progressed 40 miles towards Galena, and will
probably reach Galena in about two years. We
may, therefore, answer our question by saying,
that in about two years from this time, we may
travel West from New York, by continuous Rail-
road, 200 miles, to Galena. Chicago is destin-
ed to be great city, and roads will diverge north
to Milwaukee, and south-westerly to the Missis
sipp, concentrating a vast passenger business,
which will move east by the Michigan Southern,
and Northern Indiana line; and with the large
local business in freight and passengers, must
make this portion of the great Western line, from
New York very profitable investment of cap
tai. Every opening to the vast and rapidly grow
ing West should be encouraged by New York,
so far at least as we may obtain good voucher
for it as good investment of capital which this
appears to have.-Neao York Tribune.
AN EMBARRASSING Pos1ToN--For Ladp.-
The N. Y. Herald relates the following laurha-
BILE incident.
For the last few days, number of aborers
have been engaged in cleaning out a sewer in
Centre street, and for that purpose large square
holes have been opened in the centre of the street
between the railroad tracks. On Friday morn
ing, lady descending from one ofthe cars, step

the line Of the sewer hole, and down she went,
pop; but on finding herself going, she spread
her limbs as well as she was able, her arms cling
ing on the side, but as no firm substance was
near, to enable her to hold on, she passed down.
wards-fortunately, however, not into the mud
and water below, as the neck of an Irishman re-
ceived the lady la fourchette, very comfortably,
he being in STOPPING position, filling bucket
The disordered appearance Of the lady's dress
together with the sudden embrace on his shout
ders, struck poor Pat by surprise. The lady
screamed for assistance, aand was extricated
from her peculiar position without injury except
to some portions of her dress. The scene crea-
ted considerable mirth among the laborers, par
ticularly after ascertaining that the lady had re-
ceived no injury.
One OF THE PRINTERS, oho deSerredto sue
ceed-A True Man.--We were not little ANU
sed day or two since, while conyersing with
our friend Parham, the Chattanooga Georgia.
Gazette, in listening to some inkings of his eXpe-
rience in the way Of newspaper publishing. He
commenced the publication of his paper about
fourteen years ago in Chattanooga, then almost
a wilderness. The editorials were written and
most of the types set for the first NUMBER while
floating down the river with his printing Office on
a f1atboat Landing where Chattanooga now
stands, and finding houses rather scarce CON-
modify, he located bis Office under one of the for
rest trees, and printed his paper there, making
barrel head serve the purpose of his editorial
table. After while, he changed the location
of his office to blacksmith's shop, where he
continued for some time to issue his paper He
had chosen the right spot, however, as subse-
quent events have proved; for, where fourteen
years ago this pioneer issued his paper in the o.
pen air under tree, is now large and flourish
ing town, with the steam car daily whistling
through its streets, and steamboats, visiting its
wharf, laden with the rich products Of the vast
area of country bordering on the Tennessee and
its tributaries. Parham, we are glad to know,
has reaped some of the merited fruits of his per-
severance and industry, and is now, as the say
ing goes, "verv well to do in the world" His
Gazette appears regularly on table, and is
