cinnatt and Kanxas River.
The Cincinnati Gazette, from which tho follow
ing article is taken, having set down a wrong
figure in the first publication oft, by which the
whole calculation rendered erroneous, We re-
publish it entire in corrected FORM
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Wehavc recently noticed the fact that Virginia
had granted the right Of way from the three forks
Of Tygart's river ION the Baltimore and Ohio rail
Ohio river. We have also mentioned the grant OF
the right of way by the Illinois Legislature from
Vincennes, ON the Wabash, to Ilinoistown, oppo-
site ST. Louis. Since these grants, the Missouri
Legislature have granted charter for railway
from ST. Louis to the mouth Of Kanzas river, which
lies on or near the west line Of the State Of Mis-
souri,. and have granted to the company the State
credit for million and half Of dollars. Congress
will likewise grant TO it portion Of the public
lands through which il passes. That portion OF the
Pacific railway (and the Cincinnati straight line
road) which lies in the State Of Missouri may be
considered certainly to be made. Nor is there
now any doubt Of the construction OF the Belpre
road, or of the Ohio and Mississippi road. The
only doubt 10 to that portion Of this really grand
work which lies cast of Parkersburg, in Virginia,
and we cannot for q moment doubt the construc-
ton Of that when such vast interests and
consequences involved in it.
The Straight line railroad from Baltimore to the
Kansas river, through Cincinnati, Gall pro-
vided for by Legislative grants,) is the greatest,
most important, and respectively the cheapest rail-
road line in the world. Let the reader look at the
following elements of this grand work:
