The survey of this route was complete

completed, and. the engineer ready to re-
port. We have, refrained all along from
commenting upon this survey, until we
can have the exact facts before us, and es-
Inmates made by an impartial engineer.-
Suffice it to say, that the route has been
found equally as favorable as was antici-
pated. The length is 20 1-2 miles; the
average grade about 80 feet, and the most
difficult so feet to the mile; and the
greatest curvature four degrees. Along
the whole route, the stakes are within
sight of an air line between the two points.
On last week a meeting was held at
the town of Farley, in Platte county, Mis-
souri,, 2 1-2 miles distant from this place,
for the purpose Of securing the continual
ton of this road through their place to a
connection with the Hannibal and st. Jo-
seph road. a committee was chosen TO
raise funds TO have thorough survey
In a few days It is expected that the en-
gineers will take the field on this route
So, while others are quarreling aud gas

accomplished to-day than ali other rival
routes combined.-Dezaware Free Ssqte.

we have used those dated an 1850 and
