RAILROADS OF AHERIcA-An annual state
rent Of the various lines in operation on the
1st of January, is published in the Railroad
Journal. srhe aggregate is 81 1881 miles,
which Is sufficient, after betting the globe, to
leave two lines extending from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. The cost of these works are COM
puted at 81 177 ,993 8l8, or S37, 800 per mile ON
On average. From the division as laid down by
the Journal we find in the New England States
ais miles in operation; in the middle ATTAIN
tic States, including Delaware and Maryland,
e,e42 miles; in the South Atlantic States 5, ,39S
miiee; in the Gulf States 2,O6S miles; in the

Interior States 10, ,333 miles, and in California
20 miles. The slave States have a total of
1851 miles, and the free States of 2O, ,4s7,
nearly double the former number. Last year
the aggregate earnings Of American railroads
were probably Sl40, 900 900, or IL per cent. on
