Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Mississippi,
and some other States adopted extensive systems
orimproyements, consisting Of railroads and canals,
which they pursued until their credit failed an
event which happened, in most cases, before any Of
the works had been completed and brought into
profitable use. But the general practice was to
charter companies, each Of which was charged with
The execution of some particular work, and to aid
them by loans of State stocks. Although this
practice has fallen into much disfavor in some of
the States, that the citizens have Incorporated in
their constitutions, ARTICLES prohibiting advances by
their legislatures for such purposes, il is yet
tinued by others. Virginia, Tennessee and other
States are now prosecuting expensive works, con-
sidered essential to their prosperity, by means Of
advances from their respective treasures.
In the year 1850, Congress passed nm act, after
very protractcd discussion granting to the State
of Illinois about 2, 100 900 of public ands
aid in the construction of the Central railroad to
which alnsion has been before made. This mag
nifcent donation is reckoned by the company, to
which illinois has confded the building of the road
to be worth $4,000, 600. This was the first in
stance in which the aid of the National Government
had been extended to railroad project.
But, since the above grant, innumerablc app!ica-
tons have been made from all the new States for
cessons of land for railroad purposes. Whether
such further aid shall be extended, is now much
agitatcd question in American politics. Bills are
pending in Congress- proposing to cede, for these
purposes, about 2O,000,000 of acres

Total cost of railroads in the U. 81. s37l 40 600

The amount invested in the lines under construc-
ton II is impossible To estimate with even an ap
Proclamation TO correctness. Their cost, when com
pletcd, will be considerably less than that Of an
equal length of road now IN operation; for tho rca-
son that the greater number Of new or unfinished
lines arc IN the West or South, where, has been
shown, the cost Of construction rs far below what
1t is in tho Northern and Eastern States.
Few American railroads, which have required
IN their construction great outlay Of cnpita, yield
an income to the stockholders exceeding seven per
cent per annun. But the means for collecting cx-
nct statistics upon this point nre imperfect and un-
satisfactory. The causes of deficiency Of infor-
nation IN this respect obvious. In the first
place, ono-half the whole extent of railroad in the
country has come into operation within four wears

concerned IN the management of new enterprises
OF this character 10 ascertain with any desirable DE-
gree OF certainty their capabilities Of producing
revenue. considerable portion of the road re-
turned as in use, belongs to lines yet unfinished !
and upon those portions the receipts and dishnrsc-
monts afford very unreliable indications Of profits
or losses upon the roads IN n completed state.
Again, these Improvements, absorbing such vast
amounts Of capital, are carried on in nearly every
State Of the Union, under different regulations for
recording, preserving, and publishing information
upon the progress and financial condition of the re-
spcctyc works; or, II would seem in regard To

Nearly parallel to the Atlantic coast of the United
States from Maine To Alabama, runs the range
mountains known the Allegheny or Appalachian
chain. The eastern bases of these mountains are
not distant from the seaboard moro than a hundred
miles, and they form very formidable obstacle TO
the construction of railroads between the great cast
cities, and the interior. In nearly all the great
enterprises which have been undertaken with the
view TO effect such connexion, great additional cx-
pcnse has been incurred 10 overcome or TO pcnc-
rate this mountain barrier. In the plan first adopted
for The general system of State improvements IN
Pennsylvania, 1t proposed TO effect the crossing
Of the Aleghancs by means Of inclined planes,
with powerful stationary engines at their submits.
The planes were built and have been used for sew
cral years. until experience proved that their opera
ton was too slow and too expensive TO maintain
successful competition with other methods Of con-
veyance, and other improvements, designed TO SUI
persede them, have since been finished. The rail-
road from Baltimore 10 the Ohio river is carried over
passage in these mountains where the elevation is
upwards Of three thousand feet, and part of that
height is overcome by tunnels, varying in length
from one-sixtccnth to four-hfths of n mile. The
road from New York to Albany, along tho banks
Of the Hudson, has three tunnels. The greatest
work Of this kind yet proposed in the United
States is the tunnel through the Hoosack noun
tnin, in Massachusetts, which, if executed will be
four miles IN length, and fifteen hundred feet below
the summit The cost is estimated at s., 900, 900.
On the road from New York to Lake Erie, tunnels
have been avoided by very expensive works, which
overcome ascents Of 400 feet.
No authentic statement has ever been given Of
the capital invested in the railroads of the United
States, but we have the means of forming an cstl-
mate upon which much reliance may be placed.
The subjoincd table exhibits the amount Of cap
lial, can he ascertancd from published
reports and other sources Of information, expended
on the railroads in actual operation on the lst Jan
uarv 1870.
