Railroad Progress.

At this moment, we have about $500 fin.
isheI miles of railroad in Ohio l he cost
has been about $J0.UUO,UO0. They employ
constantly about thirty thousand men, six
hundred locomotives, five thousand cars, and
consumes two hundred and fifty thousand
cords of wood e.ch year, This is q vast ma
chinery-a greater one than has been EN-
pioyed, in community 81 the same magni
tule, IN any previous condition OF society
What does all this machinery accomplish
Have the benefits equaiied this vast Outlay oil
money. men and talents? There are lew
things of which so, j ty is more thoroughly
cons inced, than OF the great and superior
advantages of the railroad over any other
mode OF iocomosion. Nothing but this con.
viction could have caused the immense ex-
pendi,ure OF capital and labor on them in so
short Il time but great as the advantages
of the railroad are. they have accrued in a
way which was not,at iirst ut all calculated
on. tits singular how completely the actual
results have i'll many things disappointed tie
o.isinal projectors, and yet have accompiish-
ed more tnan their estimates. Some Of the
great differences b tween the original tl.co-
rles and the actua! results are these
|. There was an entire characterization as
w 's0 PV"S' VI iuSOiIotiNcs. NeItS years
ago 1t Was contended that Il locomotive could
not ascend more than fifty feet to 4 mile. or
if it did, that the friction would lie so great
as,to make it Improbable. Ii this theory
were true the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
would have no existence, for there IRE Grades
of 10 feet on that road These Grades are
easily passed, and it has been satisfactorily
proved that a locomotive will ascend a Grade
OF 300 feet to a mile. with moderat e train
of cars. This fact has made it practicable to
make roads where none was anticipa.ed. and
to carry the heaviest kind of freiahts
.. Twenty-Five wears since, it Mas annouu-
ced by engineers and believed by the public
that railroads could carry only passengers,
or very light freight They could not carry
heavy freight. That must be left to canals.
Tine has, however. proved that this asser-
ton was not only a mere theoretical dogma,
bntIthat it was the very opposite of the fact
From the superior power Of steam, railroads
Are well calculated to carry heavy irelShts.
There are several remarkable examples OF
this. but, perhaps, none SO signal as that OF
the Reading Railroad, winch Is empioyea
solely in carrying coal alongside the ociiuyi-
