TaE FIRsF RAMROAD.-The growth of the rail-
way in this country bears very close correSpon-
dence with the ages of man. Twenty-six years
agO-we are reminded of the date by the twenty
sixth annual report of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
roat-the first great road as conceived. The pro-
greSs CT CESSATION was slow and not unaccompanied
by the Irregularities and thrOes of financial embar
FaSsment and the deep and absorbing anxities of q
FIRST birth. But, at lenght, the eldest bonn of the
leading railway of the United States werebrought
forth, and the line from Baltimore, us far as Eli
colts Mills opened to travel and admiration OF the
eountr. Great was the rejoicing thereat. The
big gun from Federal Hill gave the signal the bells
of Baltimore rang merry chime, and the whole
people applauded 10 The echo. So gan
TWenty-siX years ago! Since when, this nursing
of American railroad enterprise has grown step by
step, age by age, TO its present proporton-frst,
from infancy TO folding childhood; then, TO bright
and hopeful boyhood; next, 10 confde. and daring
youth; and now, to tie full stature and full hope
Of giant manhood-with arms as numerous and
ten-fold more useful than old Briareus himself
could boast. The link of thirteen has grown into
n vast net work OF thitteen thousand miles; and
the meridian Of life not yet passed! The remin-
licences of this wonderful progress would be vati
ed and most interesting; but we shall not attempt
them. The calm survey, which our people now
take of the strides of the system, could be mucl
easier described than the feelings of immense in
terest with which the small link i'll question wa!
first transversed twenty odd years ago. The com
pleton Of chain from st, Louis to San Francisco
would now create less Sensationt .
