Running Railroads at a High Rate o
Speed.

II a portion Of the public desire to
ride at high rate Of speed, they
should be willing to pay literally for
the opportunity. 1t is the experience
of every railroad man, that the cost
of working road at a high speed
increases in acceler ing ratio. A
train running forty lniles per hour
costs at least four times % much as
a train running twenty miles per
hour. The wear and tear of the rails
and machinery at high speed is tro.
mendous. One express passenger
train will do more damage to the
road and equipage than ten heavy
freight trains at the low speed usu.

The AtIsniio telegraph.

PLAcENTIA BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND.
The present Company have already
expended upwards Of oGs million dol.
lars off this island, including the short
submarine cable to Cape Breton, run
ing the whole southern front OF the
island, from ST. Johns in the eastern, to
Point aux Basque in the western end
Of the island. From here a submarine Q
line Of "a miles canies II TO Cape Bre
ton, then overland to the Gut OF Can
80, which il passes with submarine ca;
BILE OF two milcs--it connects with the
established line OF New Brunswick and
Maine. Three years were employ ed
in the completion Of the island portion,
commencing in "a and finishing in
October, SO, working with six hundred
men during five months Of every year.
The labor was immense, cutting road
as they went through four hundred
miles Of perfect wilderness. ID. M.
Field was their first engineer, since
succeeded by Messrs. Ellis and Gis.
dcurne.
The experience OF three years has
proved that it is almost impossible to
keep up this immense extent Of line
through an almost perfect wilderness
during the storms ami Of a Ncwfound
land winter. The connection is broken
after every storm, so that the Company
has now resolved, in the event OF the
success OF tho ocean telegraph, to lay
another submarine line, either 10 the
main land Of Nova Scotia, or even to
the States themselves.
To test the practicability OF this is now
one OF the duties Of the steamer Arctic.
Within three weeks the advent OF
the Niagara may be expected, and this
event will draw together quito a fleet
in the waters Of Trinity bay. Cover.
nor Bannerman is to join the Niagara
in II. NJ. 5. Basilisk, anb one or two
French steamers are expected.
Quite a concourse Of scientific eelle.
brities will be drawn together by the
event; Morse and Bright. the grea. En-.
gineer; John w. Breet, known in con.
nection with the submarine lines oi
England and the Mediterranean, Bache

True they publish an exposition o

Of giving it in the language OF the

to state in substance what the Com

as much space with this perversion
of facts, as it would have taken for
the genuine report. The article IN

as a caricature Of the report. And
the local press of the party take the
