/. R. surface


We see that while the ratio of surface varies a
great deal even in populous States, that Of popu-
mile of railroad to ten thousand people is q ratio
for constructing railroads, which is determined by
experience with SO much accuracy that it may be
terion, and knowing very nearly tile population of
tho new States in 1870, wo can determine what
number of miles of railroad there may be in 1870,
with due regard to tho safety Of capital and the
demands of the people.
The following is a table of what railroads may
be made with safety during tho next five Nnnrs.

The table of increased population has been con-
struct>d with regard to the fact that the losses Of
war will show downward ratio of increase. Never
thclcss We believe that the actual increase in 1870
will not be less than we have stated it above. If
so, G000 miles OF railroad for 1870 will not he too
much in reference both to the demands Of the
people and the profits of the capital. The number
of miles constructed i'll these States does not
exceed 2500 Hence there is abundant room to
construct $500 miles OF railroad within the next
five years in those States il the location and adap
taton of the roads be made with prudence aud sl-
gacty. or course they will not bo proportioncd
exactly i'll the manner Indicated in tho above table;
for in some cases tlcro will he continuous line
through several States. The surface Of the above
States is about 400, 600 square miles, and popula-
will require 10 600 miles Of railroad.
not finished by O. great ways, and there is 40
prospect will be in half century to come But tho
centre and activity of railroad construction is
transferred to the Mississippi, andit will go
til II extends beyond tho Rocky Mountains; but
that timo is yet distant. In tho meantime there
is abundant room for the employment of capital,
labor, and engineering talent. The cessation of
the demand for Government loans will cause
great amount of money means to overflow into
other pursuits. Railroads and manufacturers will
employ good deal Of surplus capital, and all the
enterprises Of the country will spring into new ac-
tivity.
In regarl to the ratio of one mile of railroad to
10000 poop. it is curious that reference to the
whole amount of population and miles of railroad in
the United Satesf tho ratio for the whole country
is almost exactly the same-30 900, 900 of peoplo
gave &c. 900 miles of railroad.

Infantry, wounded; Lieut.. Col. Andrews,
10th Ind, wounded; Major Hamilton, 10th
Penn, wounded, and Capt. Stewart, 10th
Penn, killed.
The engagement between the 9th corps
and the enemy was not so severe as at other
points OF the line, where the I'd and 9th
corps fought. Here also the object of at
tack was to feel the enemy and ascertain II
the works were occupied In force. Some OF
the troops finally reached the rebel pickets
and took about 547 prisoners, driving the
remainder back to the main works. The
enemy's batteries were very active here,
and did good deal of mischief. Firing
was kept up till dark, without any attempt
on their part to regain the lost ground.
The casualties In the 9th corps were 80
officers and Ala men. Among the killed
are Capt. A.. G. Douglass, 139th; M. Martin,
l22d Ohio; Adjutant l.. l.. Crawford, 10th
Pa; Lieut. Col. j. G. Parr, 149th Pa; Major
j. f. Rich, 93d Pa; Lieut.. Col. ID. G. Kill
leary, 93d Pa; Col. G. Millican, 43d N. Y;
Capt. j. G. Rample, 130th Pa, wounded.
The number of prisoners in our hands as the
result of the days operations, is 2.271 en-
listed men, and SO officers, besides about $50
wounded in our hospitals.
An order Is being issued to the army con-
graduating the officers and men on the
splendid victory achieved over the enemies
of the country, and thanking them for their
behavior on the occasion. To-day q good
deal of picket firing has been kept up along
the lines, but without any casualties,
as far as known. About twenty five deser-
tiers came in this morning. They bring,
however, no news.

Sherman Thinks the Rebellion 81
Gone Up-RumOrs from Mobile
Sherman OccuDies amithGieId

New YORK, March 2S.-The Heralds
Newbern correspondent of the 23d SAYS
General Sherman is said to have informed
prominent officers on leaving Fayetteville,
that If he reached GoldsbOro without much
trouble, the game was then up with the reb-
els, as with concentration with SchofieId's
and Terry's forces, nothing could withstand
their momentum.
The Herald's Dauphin Islands, Ala, cor
respondent of the 18th says: The authori-
ties refuse to exchange newspapers. One
of our monitors made q reconnaissance
of the rebel works on the 18th, and was al
lowed to move about without being fired
upon. The authorities of the city seem to
be determined to make strong resistance.
Rumors were rife in New Orleans that
the rebel troops were preparing to evacu-
ate Mobile, and join Lees army somewhere
in East Tennessee.
The Tribune's Goldsboro, N. c., CORES
pondent of the 2lst says: Johnson's entire
force confronts Sherman at Smithtield, the
latter being on the south side of the river,
and the former on the north side. Later
dispatches, dated the 22d, confirm this
statement.
In the engagement on Sunday, the 10Th,
the rebels attacked Sherman's center heavi-
ly, but were driven off the field, leaving
their dead and wounded in our hands. Our
own loss was not heavy. Sherman pushed
forward rapidly, obliging the rebels to fall
back with some haste towards Smithfield.
Another fight obliged them to rush through
Smithfield and make for Raleigh. Sherman
followed with all speed, and entered Smith
field r l
