Remarks.
We do not see this matter in the same
light with our correspondent. 1t is easy
to run perfectly straight Railroads on The
map but they do not work so well in prac
tice, simply because he earth's surface as
not often as lerel as that Of map. Be-
tween Albany and Buffalo in direct line
we know it to be far otherwise; and If
Railroad as good as could be built and
stocked for $l5,OOO,OOO existed on that
line to-day, we do not believe It's trains
could be run through so quick as the trains
via Syracuse and Rochester now are.
But why a straight line between Alba
ny and Bgfalo7 Both cities are far North
of the natural course of the chief current ot
travel and transportation between the East
and the West. We believe that this stream
must long flow through the valley OF the
Mohawk or that of the Delaware, because
of the necessary inequalities of any other
route; but if we were to undertake great
Straight Railroad, it should run from New
York to San Francisco, possibly inclining
so as to touch Pittsburgh, Columbus and
St. Louis on the one hand or Cleveland and
Chicago on the other. Either of these
lines, if practicable, would pay; but we
don't believe new Straight Railroad from
Albany to Buffalo would begin to.
