FRIDAY JULY %, 1853.

The KENTUCKY RoAD.-We copy q sensible
article from the Somerset Gazette, from which
it will be seen that our Kentucky friends are
moving forward in the great work eff Railway
connection with East Tennessee, in a "a
tional and proper manner. They are correct
in their notions, and manifest the proper spirit
when they say that'if the route which they pre-
sent is not the nearest and best, all things con-
-sidered, they prefer to invest their means upon
the route offering greater practieabiity, and
promising greater profits. We are fully con-
WINGED that the capital necessary to build this
road can never be raised if the shortest and
most practicable route is not adopted. There
are so many Railroad schemes already on foot
throughout the Union, that it is becoming i'm
possible to dispose of stock in any other than
the most important ines-and these have to be
SO located as to render it impossible to super
-cede them by more direct opposition lines.
This is the only ground upon which we claim
the location Of the Road through Winters Gap
to Loudon, and we are more and more confirm
ed in the belief every day, that when the Road
is built it will cross Winters Gap and interscct
the East Tennessee and Georgia Road at or
near Loudon. And we feel just as certain that
when the Rabun Gap Road is built, twill come
down the Little Tennessee River to or near this
place, and will intersect the Kentucky Road,
the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad and
the Tennessee River at the same point. Indeed
the difference in the routes ria. Knoxville, and
Uid. this place is so great, that we are surprised
that any other should be thought Of.
The distance is less from London either via.
Rabun Gap, Or Augusta to Charleston, than it
is from Knoxville; Louisville and Cincinnati are
also nearer this town than they are TO Knoxville.
A Road can be built from this place to Charles
ton for less money per mile than one could be
from Knoxville; and the same is eminenty true
of the route from Loudon to Louisville and
Cincinnati.

Our Railroad-Now that we have an or
ganized company, it is the intention OF the .Di-
reetors to take immediate action to secure the
services of competent corps of Engineers to
make an accurate survey Of route for the
road The survey will be commenced so soon
as the arrangement can be made, 1t can then
be seen, whether the route by Somerset is prac-
ticable, and the one, that has the advanta-
ges we have believed heretofore that it had
We are anxious to have a Railroad to pass
through our place, and are willing to eXpend
our means to any reasonable extent towards the
enterprise but we can give the assurance, that
we do not want to make a useless waste of our
money, if the route be impracticable, merely
to have road through our place or near it
or object is to invest our means IN a road that
will be profitable and practicable.
We believe that when fair and just survey
of this route is made, that it will be shown to
be the cheapest and nearest Of any other pre-
posed, and if this opinion should turn out to be
correct, then we entertain no fears that it VIII
be the one adopted. Wewould be unwilling to
invest our money in any expensive or impracti-
cable route-we feel as much interest in ma
king profitable and safe investment, as any
other people, and we are anxious to know fully
and clsary all about the expense and practical
biity of the route, and the Engineer will be IL
structed to make faithful and impartial survey,
and to fearlessly and truthfuIly state in his Re-
port, all the facts, for upon the correctness of
his report, depends whether our investments
will be profitable or not, and we desire that it
should present difficulties as well as the advan-
tages.
We wish the facts fairly and fully stated, as
we cannot make the road by our own unaided
means, it is important that such survey shall
be had, as will inspire the confidence of capt.
talsts and all others.
The present Board intend to be careful IN
the selection of an Engineer, and will employ
no one. who does not come well recommended
fol his honesty and capacity, for the perform
ance of his duties, and in whose experience and
scientific attainments, the utmost confidence can
be reposed.
The survey, it is expected, will be begun by
the lst of August, and we hope that the citi-
zens along the line of the survey, and of the
counties through which it Will pass, VIII con-
tribute to the expense of the same. and afford
the Engineers every facility in their work.

SRI perused your Grafton, with much de-
Liberation and a little consternation,at the great
infatuation Of your weak imagination, to show
such veneration, on so slight foundation. But,
after examination and serious contemplation,
suppose your animation was the fruits Of recrea-
ton, or had sprung from ostentation to display
your education, by an odd enumeration, or rath-
er multiplication, Of words of the same terrni-
nation, though Of great variation,in each respec-
tive Specification.
Now, without disputation your laborious APP
pIication, 20 so tedious an occupation, deserves
commentator; and, thinking an imitation
sufficient qualification, | am, without hesitation,

To DIR. JAMES NEAsE Philadelphia.

l.o Or. JAMES MEASE HhllaQefpnla.
Dear Sir: 1t is not for me to estimate the i'm
portance of the circumstances concerning
which your letter Of the 9Th makes inquiry
They prove, even in their minuteness, the sac
red attachments of our fellow citizens to the
event of which the paper of July 1, l776, was
bat the declaration, the genuine effusiOn OF the
soul of our country at that time. Small Thugs
may, perhaps. like the relics of saints, help to
nourish our devotion to this holy bond of our
Union, and keep it longer alive and warm in
our affections. This effect may give Importance
to circumstances, however small. Atthe time
of writing that instrument, | lodged in the
house of a Mr.. GRAFT, new brick house three
stories high, of which l rented the second floor,
consisting Of a parlor and bed room ready turn-
ished. In that parlor | wrote habitually, and
in it wrote this paper particularly. So far
state from written proofs in my possession. The
proprietor, Graaf, was a young man, son OF q
German and then newly married. l think he
was brick layer, and that his house was on
the south side of Market street, probably be-
tween eth and 8th streets, and if not the only
house on that part of the streets, l am sure
there were few others near it. l have idea that
that it was a corner house. but no other recol-
lections throwing light on the question, or worth
communication. am i'll, therefore only add as
surance Of my great respect and esteem.
