Excess of exports imports. $50, 165, 146
This Is merely offset for the Of imports at
this port New York is the great importing port Of the
Unop while New Orleans is the greatest exporting port
About third Of the aggregate exports Of the country
shipped from New Orleans aud about quarters
Of the aggregate mportators entered at this port
few days since we alluded briefly the progress to-
wards completion of the Cincinnati Western Railroad,
which connects Cincinnati with New Castle Indiana BY
direct lire Of seventy three miles in length. Since that
time have received report issued BY the company
in which find grea deal Of important information
respecting the route and its The immediate
object of this company to connect New Castle Ind
ana with Cincinnati by the shortest line but at New
Castle 1t will connect with the road to Logansport, and
thence to Chicago by nearly straight line. At the
point it will also with line running from
New Castle through Northern Indiana to Grand Haven
on Lake Michigan. The Cincinnati Western is there
fore the trunk end Of two great lines Of railway extend
ing from both shores Of Late Michigan to Cincinnati tbs
metropolis Of the central West add thence by its south
connection to the South Atlantis. It will in fact
be the central link between the Northwest and the
Southeast. Independent OF these considerations, how
ever this railway passes through portion Of that pro-
ductive and fertile couutry watered by the Miami and
Whitewater rivers with their triouaris already popaous
with thriving and Industrious people, and having the
city Of Cincinnati terminus asd tee most growing
part Of Indiana the other As local work, then, 1t
has the same advantages the railways already
sIucted to Cincinnati; and standing 70 high IN the
public confidence If thtr position in the immediate
valley Of the Miami be supposed in that particular SUI
peror this has also advantage Of interesting dis
ric Of the country which those cannot reach Ia aseer
ainrg he:probable results and profits Of this work We
must first ascertain Of business furnished by
its local drainage next through route between
Cir cnnat and Chicago snd other points Lake Mchi
gam and lastly connecting the Northwest with the
Southern Atlantic Foe this purpose the statistics OF
the country with its natural and commercial elements,
furnish the only reliable data by which intelligent
mind arrive at safe conclusion. BY tracing the
direct line between Cincinnati and New Castle (Ia,)
adopted by the CncnD att Western Railroad Company,
them taking half the distance the north and east
10 the Eaton and New Castle lne and the south to
the Lawrenceburg and Mississippi Railroad, We find
average belt OF seventeen miles in diameter This gives
omethipg over twelve hundred square miles Of local
drainage through very rich country. The railroad sx-
perencs both OF Ohio and the Atlantic States, enables
deduce from the actual satisfies OF given section
very nearly the actual amount Of way passengers and
ocal traffic which will be derived from that section.
This local traffic is the great Of railway receipts
More than Of the most valuable railways In tbs
United ttes such the Eastern Ia Massachusetts, have
no other source of The Hudson River aud Harlem
Railroads do twelve miles apart aud tn 1t only
about one third the whole distance yet the business OF
both is immense, and that OF the Harlem almost entirely
local. The cost Of these roads three times per mile
what that Of the Cincinnati Western will be, which ID
than equivalent fer the greater density Of the
population The business Of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
ard Dayton Railroad has been heretofore almost entirely
local. In the month Of March last when the general
busees Of the road had largely increased the number
Of through passengers very small compared with the
whole numbern fact furnishing very nsonsiderabIe
item in lis rece.ptsye the way passengers OF that line
have excsedtd four Thousand per lneal mile. These
facts prove that Ia rich country belt Of about fifteen
miles in diameter will sustain o rsroad-taough for
large dividends extended eal connections
must be sought. The Cincinnati Western Railroad win
have both the traffic Of rich local section, and also Of
extensive contnuanees reaching TO both shores Of Lake
/ Michigan.
The extracts which made from the report OF the
Dolly Hide Copper Mining Company, OF Maryland have
no doubt drawn attention 10 the richness and extent
the mine but for the psrpose Of showing that this on
