rI1E. AGE OF RAILROADS.

TIL. census gives on this subject the following
statistical details, as showing the condition OF the
railroad system Of the United States on the S1st
of December, 1851:
Cast AZ comnleted roads in United States, $372,-
o OOO. nrobabIe cost of those In progressl $780,
600 600: total, $685., TT, 600. Animnense sum, II
il and vet great when the results are
considered.
the sobioned statement has been prepared, showing
,be number of miles of railroads. with their cost,
ordinq to the generally received authorities in
all the countries OF Europe IN which those improve
ments have been to any considerable extent intro
duced: 49,
Miles, Aggregate gate ON g s7 n d6i
German States including
lP5ss and Austria ss5s5SSSS ssS SSS
Belgium, 9s $50 46,2SS,OOO 49'0o0
Russia 200 100000 75OO0
Italy, ITO lo'OOO'OOO 00'OOO
1912 $1,s59, O66OOO
The preceding table was made before the opening
of the railway from St. Petersburgh TO Moscow,
which, being 400 miles in length, would add largely
to these statistics, SO far as refers 10 Russa. In
France also during the past season, 5OO miles OF
railway in addition the number stated IN the table,
were onened making the whole extent Of railway in
that country in July as:, about $500 miles; and il
is expected that, during the course of the ensuing
wear 800 miles additional will be completed.
by tneS6 STATISTICS IL Is Hld06 " appear LldL the
average of European railroads was $3.50 300 per
mile. The average cost of American railroads COM
pIeed previous to the commencement of the present
year was $34,SO7 per mile. The excess Of exPen-
diture therefore,, in the construction OF European
roads over those in the United States, is $95,99S
per mile, or about $50 per cent; but 1t may be re-
marked that the estimated average cost of construc.
tion in the United States Of all the roads completed
and in progress, does not exceed $4,000 per mile
so that the actual excess is 100000 per mile.
The foregoing statements develop the striking fact
that the United States possess extent of rail road
nearly equal that of the rest of the world combin
ed and, at present rate of progression, we are
likely, in a few years, far to exceed it.
But still later. On the LIST of January, 1853, the
aggregates with regard to railroads in the United
States as suhjoined
Miles in operation, 1926
Miles in progress, l2,65l
On the LIST of January, 1852, the results were as
follows:
Miles in operation, 1o643
Miles in progress, lOS9o
These facts display an extraordinary increase.
The following table shows the number of miles of
railroad in operation and in the of construc-
ton in each State of the Union the first of Janu-

territory which now cons.iluies The Stale of
Tennessee was ceded 10 Congress, the in.
habilants Of The eastern part Of that territory
established government for themselves,
and called it the Stale Of Franklin. They
ado oied very good constitution, divided in
10 the usual branches Of legislative, execu-
tive, and Judicial power. They laid and
collected taxes, and performed other usual
acts Of legislative action. They had, for
the present, il is true, no maritime posses
sions, YET they followed The common forms
in constituting high Offices: and their gov
ernor was not only cdpIain.general and
