TnE SSUsaUEHASNA RAILRoAp.-It has been
heretofore tied that operations have been com,
menced on this important road, an that the work
will be prosecuted with energy and vigtr. The
only drawback is the scarcity of hapds,.ofi whom
some two thousand are now wanted by the con-
TRACTORS. The Williamsport and Elmira rad, we,
learn, has also been put under contact and a,
large force is at work upon it. Ttis confidently
expected that both these roads 4will be finished in
eighteen mouths from This tipe,F and this the great
chain of railroad from city 10 the Lakes will be
completed, and by shorter ioute than from Phil
,adelphia and New York. The distance from Bal, +
tinore to Buffalo will be 1893 miles, SO that pas
selgers without difficulty break fast in this city in
the morning and, sup in Buffalo the same night. \
We may therefore reasonably expect for this route
ali The great and increasing travel between The I
South and Northwest which has heretofore gone by
way of New York Besides this large amoInt
of mineral and Agricultural produce will ifnd its
way to Baltimore over this road. We understand
that subscriptions are NOW about 10, be taken up
for the,stock, which we hope will meet wilhthe
encouragement that the importance Of the work 10
