ST. CLAIRsvILLE, (OHIo) Der. 81, 1861.
noticed in your paper of the 23d instant an ex-
tract from the annual report Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, in which it was stated
that, with an adequate supply of funds and labor,
the whole line of the road may be finished to
Wheeling by the lst of January, 1852 This is
gratifying information to the people Of the West II
may be interesting to many of your readers TO
know the prospects of continuing this road through
Ohio.
The Central Railroad Company in this State
was chartered with a view to meet at Wheeling
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and open direct
communication through the of the State towards the
eligible point the Mississippi river. This road
already finished from Columbus to GAINESVILLE leaving cham
Of about sevenyfve miles between the latter town and
Wheeling yet to be made. The counties Of Muskingum
Guernsey, and Belmont through which runs have recently
subscribed, by vote Of the people, three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. The city of Wheeling has also subscribed
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars accomplish the
same work. These sums, together with private subscriptions
will ensure the and completion of the road
Wheeling Two corps Of engineers surveying the
different lines to ascertain the nearest and most practical
locate the road When the Baltimore road and the Ohio
Central road shall be Finished there will then be opened con-
tnuous line from Baltimore and Washington through Wheel
ing and Columbus, Cincinnati An object SO important
hope will be speedily accomplished The Central Ohio rail-
road also connected with Cleveland by other lines already
fni-h he'd.
Wheeling occupies favored position for trade, commerce,
and travel, both with the East and West Situated the
Oao river, in latitude forty, directly west Of Philadelphia,
and connected with that city by the Hemp6ed railroad to
Greensbug the Pennsylvania line, she viii open in
ercourse with it in business and travel under favorable cir
cumstances with Baltimore The great wire suspension
bridge erected at this place will furnish facilities for crossing
the Ohio river which exist at other point This splendid
bridge, notwithstanding the opposition raised against it. still
stands proud monument Of the wisdom of the age the sr
mt Of the people, and the genius Of the architect and trust
that neither envy jealousy any will succeed
in destroying it.

two thousand miles; and, to traverse an expanse
of such deserts as those Of Central Africa, one
thousand miles is far more difficult than three thou
sand OF an ocean. But TO return to our general
review.
From the region of Liberia to the Cape Of Good
Hope, the western coast Of Africa, in general dis
tance OF two thousand six hundred miles, has only
made ten degrees of longitude eastward, and with not
single deep bay or the reception of river of any
noticeable magnitude or length or volume. In this
distance the continent is crossed by the EQUATOR
over an unbroken expanse thirty degrees of latitude
wide, OF desert. Southwardly from the equator
the geographical character Of Africa is fully main
tanned. Scattered and very limited tracts, which
in themselves deserts, skirt the coasts, whilst
all within are, and have been in all known pas,
time, swept over by the winds of desoa,ion. Such
is the character Of section Of the land surface of
the earth spreading over two millions two hundred
thousand square miles.
Taken as a whole, Africa, as far as we can re-
trace its colonization by man, was among the first
seats of civilization. Egypt, the only river of
the first class it contains, was from the dawn Of
time to this day only heightened oasis, extended
southwark, and followed by Ethiopia, (Abyssnia,)
and as yet by tracts unknown southwardly.
But, to close this rather long article, and taking
Africa as il really is, it is vast sand surface but
for means OF human residence, a congeries oi
islands over vast sea of sand. One or more ol
those islands offer home to the race whose pa
rents were the primitive inhabitants. The very
mention of such return opens views OF the past and
future too vast to admit even glance at the pre-
sent. II is the great idea of this age.
