SHORTEST ROUTES.

Mr. EDITOR: [ desire to draw your attention
and through you the attention Of the public, to the
various newspaper articles that obtaining more
less nOtoriety through the efforts Of interested
persons, the various established or proposed
Railroad Routes between the two principal COM
mcrcial cities in the United Statcs-Ncw York
and New Orleans. In the Washington Union
of the 2Sth May, under the head OF crew postal
arrangements may be found iiattCring, and, to
the travelling public, exceedingly interesting
article setting forth the (hcretofore unusltaD dis
patch which certain Hailroad Companies had effect
ed for the transportation Of the 1. 5. Mail and
passengers between n. York and \. Orleans, in
the extraordinary short time Of + days and Il
hours, and hereafter to be reduced to days and
II hours. Likewise that arrangements had been
perfected with the Department i'll connection with
the above for sem-mOntlly mail Via Tchuau-
tepec to San Francisco, which is to shorten the
present time 10 days between New York and Cali
fornia. This article is followed up by Il system
attic and detailed statement in the various news
papers along said routes urging upon the Govern
ment at Washington the recognition of this route
the shortest and most practicable one between
the north and south.
Now, sir, [ am astoniShcd that a lethargy, al
most amounting to inbccty, has taken possession
of the public prints Of our State l have as yet
heard o. only one newspaper in the State (Wil-
mingtOn Journal) which has given uttcrance to
one single expression OF opposition to the assump-
tions made in the comparisons Of distances, adyan-
ta9es, &c, Of other routcs. / do not propose
to go into detail as to the merits or dement's Of
the various proposed routes which have or should
attract public attention; but merely intend, if
possibly can do So to draw out public opinion as
to what IS really and truly the ncorcSt ard most
direct of all the routes which have ur can be pro-
posed between the North and the South. And
that this article may not be prolonged, shall pro-
coed to the comparison of relative distances on the
routes most prominent in this connection taken as
it is believed from reliable data with the hope that
