IRON BkNDS.u

Impatience is besetting sin with some
people. In our haste to gain our own private
ends, we too often overlook the greater inter-
ests of others. In this war for example our
generals have often been bitterly censured for
apparent neglect to minor details, whea they
were at same time with might and main pur-
suing come greater Or more important object.
Thus it is with every good military leader
with every statesman-with every busi;i ess
man. The good chess-p|aycr too will lose =
pawn to gain castle. And this brings me
now to say word fer our well abused Bait.
& Chic Railroad For not having long ago com-
pleted double track from the coal mines to
Baltimore. l take it that tho Directors Of
this road have acted wisely in endeavori3g
f:st to secure Themselves where they were in
moot danger, otherwise the road might have
legaEera,od into u mere local coAl-earrer in
stead Of wha: it now is, and will contil 10 TO
be, great national blessing. We are get
ting rich fast enouch--gett:pg our coal t,
market rapidly enough. LeJ us not be too
impatient We shall have double track and
thousands more Of hopper ears in due time.

some roads during the last four years
hne seen rail roads, plank roads, cor
lerav roads, McAdamjzed roads and
mgd roads. Bat, bless my eyes, if I ever
saw a worse road than that from Mineral
? int to Linden. If it was the road to
IrernJs. few would travel it; and if the
other way, few wout! even be able to to-
low It's intricacies, or drag themselves
ont Of Its mud holes.
May ask, why this most important
avenue to the commerce of this city is
kept in SO frightfuI a condition? Is there
no road ovcrseer, or no money. or no pub
Ic spirit left? At least the bushes and
trees which shade it from the sunshine
might lie cut ,ut with little or no expense
Give the timber along the sides Of the
road to poor people for fuel, and they will
soon clear it out and let in the light Of
day upon the weary TRAVELLER.
