Of necessity We shall want various transporting ROADS

scendiDg grades, If possible, are imperanveiy de-
manded.
At present. Port Richmond the great transhippng
depot of the Anthracite Coal trade, whence the
Northern and Eastern ports are supplied but one
glance at the situation of New-York HaTbor on the
coast in it, relation the coal fields will prove con-
clu.yely how feasible and how possible it is to make
il the great tanshippng port for the bulk OF the coal
which goes North and South. Already we have Sc
cured 10 ourselves direct line Of railroad into the Le-
high and Wy oming regions, and Of the Lackawanna.
But we require vet another line into the hearts Of the
vast red white and grayash coal beds of the Schuyl-
kill, Mahonng and Shamokn regions. While the
Phadelphans are asleep to their interests, and lndo-
lent from the vast wealth and prosperity that this trade
has directly and indirectly produced them the coal
producers at the mines suffering under the heavy
taxation with which their great monopoIzing trans
porting companies burden them, and have sought and
are likely 10 obtain with our assistance, direct and
unbroken connection with New-York, where they can
deliver their coal, by the proposed route, equally as
cheap az they are now delivering it at Philadelphia.
The proposed route connects with the New-Jersey
Central Railroad at Easton, running from Auburn or
Port Clinton on the Reading Railroad VIA Allentown
and the Lehgh Valley Road. The distance from
Auburn 10 Allentown is - miles (which Is all that s
required to BE- laid TO Esston IS miles; and 10 New
Yorh Harbor llS miles-or l23 from Pottsville-wlth
no grades against the coal trade exceeding - feet to
the mile and from practical observations, based upon
ample railway experience, it is safely calculated that
Schuylkil Coal can be put aaoat in New-fork Harbor
ct cost for transit of e y tun
Not only coal trade Of one million tuns awaits this
Road the moment it is finished but all the travel
from New York to the coal regions, Pittsburgh and
the West. A glance at one OF the new railroad maps
will show that this Ink will place our city IN direct
communication with Harrisburg, via the Dauphn and
Susauehanna Railroad, Of which it is continuation,
and with Pittsburgh, via the Pennsylvania Central
Road. Thence, we need not say that Cincinnati,
Chicago and all the great cities of the North, West
and South are the most easily reached Indeed, this
route will place New-York almost near to them by
rail as Philadelphia or Baltimore.
. The MARYLAND and Cumberland bitumnous coal
fields an also be reached this route by the Gum
berlaud and Lebanon Valley Railroad, connecting
with the Chambersburg and Allegheny Road which
enters the btuminous regions at Cumberland. Also,
the vast bitumnous regions of Western Pennsy lyanis
living on the route of the Sunbary and Erie Road will
be open to the New-York market. Preparations are
now being made 10 connect Pottsvie, by a short cut
of ONLY ten niles with the Mahoning Coal Basin and
thence the wav is open to the Sunbury and Erie.
The importance of this short link, known as the
Auburn and Allentown Railroad, cannot be too highly
regarded by the people Of thh city, for this thirty
eight miles of road when finished viii give New-iork
the key the coal regions and not only immense coal
trade bu. an incidental and return trade which will be
the result. that will be gilmore importance even than the
coal itself Many millions Of dollars worth Of goods
would annually find their way TO the coal regions from
this city, which goes from other cities and as the
result We shall be douby benefited; for maritime
city can be great without comparatively great inland
trade
