imertcaa Raiiroa2 Journal, the following fattering
and encouraging notice of onr great Road and its
prospects
! q This great work is completed to the Tennessee
Line. Its whole length is 2O4 miles. 1t occupies one
of the most important routes i'll the lnitcd States

about one-half of this road the rails are laid, with
the work progressing on the balance at a rapid rate.

continuous liuc of railroad will be formed extending

" its whole length the Allegheny range of Mountains,
which are filled with the more valuable kind OF min
erals, together with salt and coal. 1t also opens II
