win be seen by The above thai the principal eastern
connection Of this road 10 bs with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway, which Is the most direct though not the
ewisss Of communication between the Atlantic
csast and The Ohio river. Tho Baltimore and Ohio Railway

Maryland crosssg the Aeshanes just u tho Virginia

Bsuwood SIS miles from Bsore, thence by the Central
Ohio Railway Columbus l37 miles sod thence 10 Oncn
psu 100 miles. From Cincinnati TO St. Louis passengers
arc oSgsd 30 north 10 Indianapolis, and thence strike
south 10 vincenns st. Louis usng two three
roads, running The risk Of losipg the connections and
making large dou. The northwest branch Of the Bal
more and Ohio and the Cincinnati and Marietta road will
Considerably shorten the distance non Baltimore 70 Gin
cnnat by making almost straight line across Ohio.
The Ohio and Mississippi road being c,mpleed
From Cincinnati h vincennes travellers will save about
ono hundred miles 10 distance, and say I'VE hours tme
Tho only place OF any great consequence tho line or

-ctaes that appear like Aladdn's palace In single night
spsngng up along the line Of Tho road Altogether the
OHIO and Mssissippl road makes valuable addition
the twenty thousand miles Of railway already built In the
United States.
Although We have particularised the Baltimore
end Ohio Railway - the principal connection
East with the Ohio and Mississippi, yet Phi
iadephl will have quite - direct communication
by means Of The Central Pennsylvans road 70 Ptsburs
wheoos there direct communication with Cincinnati by
two routes Travellers from New York TO s. Louis usually
prefer the northern routethe Erie 10 Dunkirk, STATE Line
end Lake Shore 70 Cleveland thence 70 Columbus and
Cincinnati by the Little Miami route, Is, according 10 the
writer's experience the quickest and tho peasanses. The
distance Ia greater but the time Is better was last

Ohio 70 eastern markets, and complete the great chain
OF railway which unites the great central States
with their less important western sisters Tho city Of
