Railroads

The Railroad Record. published Mt Cincinnati
furnishe, some interesting facts which. though la-
wing immediate and exclusive reference to the rail
roads Of the Northwestern States. most striking
" illustrate the vauc and Importance Of rail.
roads generally,
II appears, that in tho six States Of Ohio Indi-
ana, Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin and Iown there
were, in 1872 2,61s miles Of railroad since
that year there have been GGlj mi!os more
plctcd--bcug IN average of |, 100 miles for each
of tho six years since 1852.
The average cost per mile has been S35, 900 md
the average annual expen l,tnrcs- sufficient 10 EN-
ployat the average of wages, one hundred ,hoGs-
and able.b d ed men.
This expenditure has hal double effect on the
improvement Of the country--irst in the employ
mcnt OF 50 many men secondly, by furnishing
facilities Cor carrying off the produce Of the
try. This lat effect. says the very able = li'or Of
the Record F.. D. Mansfield, no one can sulli lent
ly estimate, It has reduced Ivy one half tho cost
of transportation, and gives positive value in
market to every huslrl Of grain or tho rcmo,c,t
farm. The cirrt Of this is seen in the increased
value OF improved farms in the producing States
in Ohio. for example, the value Of tho property
in which has increased from 500 ISL Gl in 1862,
TO $500 ooo,No III lS5s being IN aggregate III
crease of S3j3 900 900 in six years. and an aver
age annual Increase Of SIS 100000.
While the annual increase in the value of prep
crty in Ohio has been $4,000 900 tho annual cx:
pcnditurcs on railroads in tho same State have
amounted to sl0.ooo 900 per annum; 40 that tho
improved vnla" of the State property has been six
times greater than the whole amount expended on
railroads.
Tho increased value of property in the North
western States, in the last six wears. has been
about one thousand millions of dollars while
the expenditures railroad, in those States
within that time, have lcrn owe. two hundred mil
lions.
Whatever cirt, on that increase Of property
has been pro lurcl by railroads. it is certain that
the Northwestern States could afford to give the
entire cost Of all heir roads, aud Yet have left near
eight hundred millions of increased value ,i prop
erty.
Such result has not been produced by any spe-
cies ofsuca machinery since the world hesnn
Beyond all question. similar results must foil IVY
the completion Of the railroads now being con-
structed in the South. aud in the increased value
ofpr"perty they will repay many fold tho amount
expended in their construction.

The impression prevails 10 me extent that Mr..
Martin. an independent candidate for Congress in
the above named District, has proclivitcs to-
wards the Opposition. We understand that our
party friends propose to vote for him upon this
ground. That all such may DO undeceiyel, we
copy from the Tazewcll Advocate tho following
report of Mr.. Martins speech delivered few dnys
ago in Jacksonville.
He claimed to have been consistent Democrat
from his Grade TO the present, nieredly repudnted
an, past present utilization withthc Wing party
IL dls' Ia med not only present sympathy with the
kno~ N9ttipg party, hut inrtly denied ever having
acted with the order entertaining any liberation for
It's hcresics He also claimed to have been the FIRST
man who took is,ue with the order 10 the county Of
Lee
After that. we suppose no member Of the Oppns
ton, with degree Of selfrespect. will cast his
vote for Mr.. Martin. This totally Unnecessary and
unjust fling at the Opposition. because he hap

The Prospect in the Northwest

The Wheeling Tunes brings us cheering infer
nation from the Pam handle. We copy as FOL
lows:
We assure our Eastern brethren that they need
not give themselves much sohcitude about this
portion Of the Northwest. II there is one section
that will remain true to the faith, and put
forth ayigorouS effort Tor the redemption OF the
Commonwealth from the ruinous thraldom Of Lo.
cofocoism. that section is the Panhandle. Wheel
ing and Ohio county will do their duty. though
they have not been 81 prompt in starting the ball
rs in many other places The want out here is
not Documents but speakers. Most of the uspi-
ring men in the Northwest have deserted the
principles of the Wing party and sold out to the
Democracy, in order To obtain oifce. The conse-
quencc is that while the people of this section
have remained true to pure principles. there are
comparatively few capable desirable rs leaders
1t Is tor this reason that have urged the State
Central Committee to induce Bolts. Rives, Stuart,
summers, and host of others to take the stump,
and To carry the war into Africa. We repeat the
| request 1t is the best disposition that can now
DE made Of any means at the disposal of our
| friends in the East. Let all our able orators be
summoned AZ once To the field, and our word for
it the light that will thus lie scattered will be far
creator. and he attended with infinitely bette,
results than by any other course that can be adop
ted. Let the Central Committee see to it,

TERRIBLE LOCOMOTIVE ExrLosIoN-Two Men
knLEp.-On Wednesday morning last, about 1
O'clock the engine attached tn cual train on the
Reading railroad, exploded in the Oath ward Of
Phndclnhia. The train was standing waiting
for the MD of another engine TO push it around Il
curve The Philadelphia Bulletin says:
From ssme cause the boiler of the engine OK.
plodcd while standing at the spot We have des-
cribei and frightful Consequences ensued. The
locomotive was broken away from the rest Of the
train by the force of the explosion, ard it was
dashed on to the bridge, distance of sixty or
seventy feet The engine was literally blown to
pieces the boiler heing shattered and even the
running gears wrecked. 1t was a coal-burncr en-
Eine of great power.
Two men were instantly killed by the accident
The engineer Josiah Missimer, was upon the Gu
CINE at the time, and it is supposed that he was
blown into the river. trace has yet been
found Of his body. John Foley. the first brakes
man. was blown distance Of fifty yards from the
spot where the explosion took place. His body
was found upon the tow path within four feet o..
the river He had fallen headforemost among
some rocks, and his brains da shed out. Missimer,
the engineer, was n married man. Mr.. Foley, the
other victim, wns unmarried.
The toll house at tho west end of the bridge was
shattered by the expl On and the building was
set On fire. The toll-galherer and his family were
asleep in their beds at the time. The toll gather
| er was thrown from his bed by the shock and
dashed against the wall. portion Of the iron
work Of the boiler was blown into o window of
the tol-housdc and falling upon the foot Of boy
| lying in bed. it burned him. A daughter of the
| t"ll-gaherer stunned that she could not be
aroused for some time None Of this family re-
ceiycd amy very serious injury.
The fireman made narrow escape. He had
just left his post and had gone into the dollhouse
| to pr cure drink when the mishap took place.

Fourteenth and Twentieth Wards of the city were
shaken by the explosion, and the report was heard
distinctly for great distance. The safety-yal,e
# The engine was blown entirely across the
Sch1ylkili' and it was found after daylight in the
yard ct house Mt the Falls. 1t seems that Mt the
time the explosion took place. the train was wait
ing for an additional engine to push the cars
nr'und n curve. The shock of the explosion
shook buildings at Franktord and Germantown, as
we'll as in upper parts of the city.
