and the Alexandria and ursn &c road shall have bee

when the great feeder OF this canal THE Virains ard

These lines will command the trade of country yn,t
ine xtent, rich in minerals and of unsurpassed tsr
ry which in its transit will enrich the cities through
which it will pass, and find its way through the Cages
Of the Chesapeake. Someidea may be-tS rmed OF the
extent of the trade these improvements will bring
through Virgins, II we consider that the great trade
brought to 1t by roads and canals from the western
partof Ohio the states of Indiana, Illinois and Mis-.
souri, will tiua the cheapest and shortest route the
Atlantic seaboard to De by que of these lines Tho
COsEngton snd Ohio railroad will unite the mouth
ofthe Big Sandy, with the Lexington and Big Sandy
road which traverses the very garden spot OF Ken
lucky. whose fertility has grown into proyetb. A
road has already been constructed from Lexington to
louisville and another is soon to be eOustrucledts
from point opposite TO Louisville, through Indians
which viii cross the Cincinnati and ST Louis road a.
Indianapolis thus forming railroad connection with
I ST Louis and Little Rock, and through or tho
'osher with the great Pacific road. The DanvilIs
and theSeaboard and Roanoke roads will intercept
the taade of the southern states. which, passing
thrOngh Richmond and Norfolk Cities will reach
common depot on the seabosrd. When all these
streams shall pour their trade into the Chesapeake it
will not only support line OF steamers betwesn this
and some one of the European ports, but with the
principal narts OF the world
T4e time when we should embark 10 this enter
