Some one has been figuring up the comparative adj
sntapes of the Northern routes and the New jersey
Ger trail route to the West with the following result
First we shall begin at Erie, as that is the place
where the several lines concentrate for at least SIX
months of tbs year. and take the New, OK Cehtral
with the others, in regular coure. Toe actual dis

Elmira road and gives to the trade ot ElmJa, over
the New.Jersey Central a route OF easier grade, and
a uniform gauge distance OF $40 miles, with one
transLpmeBt ST EZ BETH port. Thus we have the
details the three principal routes to TIE Western
trade. But rs our view is confined only to the dis
lance ard gauge must lock q. grades 10 determl e
the advantages. On the three routes the ascending
ard descending grades are about as follows:
Buffalo and bany 200 tes
Newton end feet
IL we assume the usual estimate that rise and fJ
Of 60 feet is equal to mite of distance on level
and inhoo into the calculation the equivalent of
increased distance for each transbpment have the
comparative total distance, actoal and equated, as
follows:
Buffalo and Albany to New York ..........."sy7 miles
New.York and Erie to New miles,
SuDbDry and Eiie to Philadelphia .....'......511 miles
Line via Phisdephis to Newly miles
Thus We see by the actual aud equated distances
that the route from Erie through Philadelphia is 237
miles shorter than by Buffalo and Albany, and 20s
shorter than by the NewYork and Erie; and if we
estimate the freight al cents y tun mile, We have
the following rates:
By Buffalo aud Albany sl3 IS n tun
By ssnsur Si and az giie va rhi:acpi.
"Tbese items, although extraordinary In their pres-
ert shape, are nevertheless more than confirmed IN
the actual operations on the Reading railroad. On
that work srgle engine can co the work OF u en-
enes on any road where The grades descend rate
of 90 feet 10 the mile, and II We look mo the cost OF
engines, &C., we will discover that the Pennsylvania
routes have advantages, and that the route over the
New-Jersey Central is Lot only the shortest but most
direct route for the travel of the West
