the central portions Of the American continent.
were possessed Of indoniitablc energy and
magnificent conceptions. Deriving their ideas
from tic grandeur Of the lakes und The 1irer*,
and the prairics which they were the first to ea-
p!orc, they established Gordon Of military
potts between Quebec and New Orleans, nnl
for years cherished the snb!ims scheme Of
sraspiug the entire continent. The commence.
tuent of the ycar 1850 will witness Quebec mid
New Orleans connected by bnuds more powerful
and enduring than were ever dreamed Of BY
thusc old exploring heroes. In tho comparison.
,nititury pests art but rs cobwcbs, and for all
TING to come commerce will bind, ns By hooks
Of steel, Quebec and New Orleans TO Clicugo,
The great central city Of lie continent. The
magnificent conception Of the old Jesuits will
soou be more than realized.
From Chicago as standpoint let It's lock
eastward ut tie
GRAND TnCSK RAILWAY.
4 few weeks since it wss expected that tlls
road would hare been completed on Monday,
Nov. 7th. 1t is completed to Sarnia, but rs the
Victoria Bridge, al Montreal, could not be lii.
isl4cd till carly in december, It was thought
best 10 ballast the road between Detroit aud
Sarnia, and the opening t; III. entire line is
now set down for the .oth Of the present month
NJ man would dare to estimate the advantages
which the opening Of this road will confer upon
the West. The first thing to be noticed is the
establishment Of WEE1Ir NAIL between Chi
cago and Liverpool, aud London. 4 contract
with our Government has already been ontaiE-
ID, und the first mail between Chicago and Lon"
dou is to be made up on "Wednesday evening,
Nor. ed, nnd will leave this city on Thursday
morning, Nor. cath, at s o'clock, connecting
with tue ROYAL Mail Stcamtr which is to leave
Portland on Saturday morning the ecth. The
European ,nai1 will leave this city thereafter
every Thursday morning, connecting with SAT-
usday mornings steamer from Portland fas-
senSers leaving with tue 1na'l on IhuFsday
morning will be sure Of the connection ut Fort
land, as the steamer Will bc delayed I'LL The
nail train arr'res. There Wall be but one
change Of cars afser the Victoria bridge is tir-
isaca between this city and Portland.
In the above paragraph re hare spoken onlj
| Of Portland. IN the summer the cars Wall run
| To Quebec, md the ocean steamers will sail
from that city. The distance from Chicago to
Portland Is 1929 miles; time only thirty y-cight
hours.
| The Grand Trunk Railway will not be com.
plcted Us freight line till its cars run direct to
tl.is city, This can be accomplished much east
er, and with less expense, than might at first
bc expected. Let the Grand Trunk guarantee
L reasonable interest on the stock of the Michi
rau Central, OF upon the north line Of the M:chi
,an Southern, sell The rolling STOCK ana relay
onc rail 50 as to mike the gauge five feet and ;
half, and the thing is done. Then VIC sho"lt
hare 10 change, Of cars between Chicago ant
The Atlantic. Grain could be shipped IN bull
all winter, and uuloadcd in resse]s ut PORTLAND
Tor I.srcrroot. As It is, we shall have but on
transfer, and for this reason NC predict 4 ras
| cl,lu.e iu tue business of the city within th
next three years. Chicago importers can bu,
/ their goods direct from Liverpool, and it Tfll
,,,v ieo,,;rc from twelve to fifteen lays I
,,,e, ,bern hcre unon their own counters.
