1t viii be seen from the following paragraph
which We take from the Wilmington Dell
Republican, that by the first Of October next
we shall have new and direct route from this
city to Philadelphia. The point on the Anna
messex River, where the road terminates, is
eighty miles by water from Norfolk
"a large force of workman are engaged in
constructing the Delaware Railroad, which is
to extend through the county of Worcester in
Maryland, and Accomac and Northampton in
Virginia, until it reaches Annamessex, point
opposite Norfolk, on this side Of the Chesa-
peake Bay. The ties are OF pine, which is
rather new feature in ralroading, but in thai
sandy country where pine abounds, it is by far
the most economical tie that can be used. In
sandy soil pine trees will last for SIX years but
in spongy, clayey soil they would rot out Iii
rectly. The road is to be finished through by
the first Of next October.
