Another RAILROAD I!

That there will be Railroad built on
the West side Of the Susquehanna River,
We have not the least doubt. 1t will com
mence at the west eud of the Sunbury &
Erie Railroad bridge, which crosses the
West Branch fourteen miles above Lewis.
burg. 1t will be located on the west bank
of the river to Lewisburg: thence to the
east end of Dry Valley, there, taking a
westerly direction about four miles, will
run to Penns Creek, which it will cross
and continue on the west side to Selns-
grove, and on this side of the river down
to the Junction and Harrisburg, where it
will iutersect with the Lebanon Valley
Road, which is connected with the Read
ing road.
The distance of the contemplated road,
is about seventy five miles and its cost,
rolling stock incluied, is estimated at two
million dollars. But, in our opinion, this
is too high. The entire route presents
almost dead level, and we believe the
cost for grading would not reach eight
thousand dollars per mile, amounting in
the aggregate, to but little over one mil
lion one hundred thousand dollars The
bridge, however, across the Susquehanna,
might be estimated at one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars which would bring
the cost of the road to some thirteen hun
dred thousand dollars.
Should this enterprise be consummated
and there is no reason for doubt
Philadelphia will have direct line OF
Railroad TO Lake Erie.
The Northern Central road belongs TO a
baltimore company, which will naturally
resort to every possible expedent to bene-
fit their city through the medium of THEN
road. And it is fixed fact that the sur.
bury and Erie road can not be extended
through the mountainous region lying be.
tween Sunbury and Pottsville, and which
has been abandoned. Therefore, to secure
the Lake trade, Philadelphia has but one
alternative, and that is to turn its atten-
tion to this road and see that it is built
Sixty miles of it would be located through
magnificent and productive region Of
country which is not yet tapped by any
other road. Its travel, and the tonnage Of
agricultural as well as of minera! products
along this route, would be unequalled, by
any road of equal distance in the State
We hope the citizens Of Lewisburg and
SelinsgrOve will the proper effort to pro-
cure Charter, and have a Survey and
Draft made to lay before Lebanon Valley
and Erie companies and the citizens of
Philadelphia. The tonnage and travel of
these roads would be greatly increased,
while Philadelphia wolld be benefited to
an extent not TO be reached in any other
enterprise involving the same amount Of
capital.
We will have more to say on this sub
ject SeiiHSyroUe Dentokrat.
