Inc aeeenq Great Project Of the Age
Sezt 10 the completion If the Pacific rail
wayiin national importance, comes that of /
the various links which are 10 form tile
monster trunk railway from the lakes of the
North g the Gnlf Of Mexico Let the reader
take a map examine the same carefully, and
1t VIII be easily seen that at no very distant
day perfect stream Of travel Must pass and
repass over the grand chain that IS to con.
meet New Orleans via Padueah, Ky, with /
allof the. principal cities Of the Union. The
Convention held at Padueah last August,
and which was as harmonious as vigorous.
has been followed BY unceasing diligence
and determination, o.. the part Of able and
competent representatives. who are anx-
iouss to eonsumate the ersat work at as
early day as possible. TIE surveying
party engaged in locating the AIRLINE from
Jackson, Tenn, to Mayfeld, Ky, completed
their labors last Saturday A full report Of
their labor win be published in due course
Of time. From distinguished gentleman
whomwe met On last Wednesday, we learn
that the distance from Jackson to MayfeId,
by one survey, is eighty miles, while by
another the distance is 81 the. latter route
q being even lower aud with less curvature
than the track of the AIobiie.an Ohio road.
The projected road viii cross the Memphis
and Ohio road at Milan, Is miles east of
Humboldt, thus shortening the distance to
Louisville ten miles; the new road also
passes by Dresden and one OF two other
trading points Of considerable Importance
AS we have heretofore stated, monster
bridge is to be built at Paducah, from which
point roads viii diverge to Vineennes, In
dianapois, Springfield, and possibly, to
Chicago direct When the contemplated
improvements have al been made the ST.
000,0e0 now invested in the Central road
viii loom up to double the amount; in pro-
portion, the N. o., J., & G. n. RI. Co. will
be benefited. With such prospect before
them, it would be prtDsa .facia evidence Of a
lack of foresight if the representatives of
the roads mentioned did not bend their en-
ergies to the task and urge on the work so
nuspiciously begun The moneyed men of
Paducah too should redouble their labors IN
behalf Of the Air Line road for Of all
others, they are the most interested The
completion of the road will make Paducah a
city ten times its present size in less than
ten years.
Chicago, ST. Louis, Vincennes, Indianap-
oils, Cincinnati and Louisville are alive to
the project and viii not fail to see the point
Push on the work and let the various links
be completed as early as possible. The first
car loaded at Chicago and sent through to
New Orleans win usher in a tide of pros
perity to the roads in this section that can
never subside os long as we are one people,
and viii be the harbinger Of untold thou
sands to the business men of New Orleans.
Our neighbor, jackson, should even now
be all aglow with the hope of stirring
time7," for the completion OF the Air Line
road will most assurediy prove of great ben
eft to her, and all the various roads that con
sentrate there. We wonder that our able
contemporary, the West Tennessee Wing
don't catch up the war hoop and send il
pealing into every homestead in Madison
county. What the Charleston road is &c
Memphis the proposed Air Line viii be tc
jackson We want to see the road com
pletsd because it will benefit our friends i
it does not beneGt US. It viii be q grand
success, and the people of jackson viii
most assuredly live to see it. jackson is SC
situated and naturally gifted that she can, by
putting forth her strength, soon become the
greatest inland city between the lakes ant
the gulf Therefore. ne say to her people
do not delay push onward, give the proposed
road hearty, liberal grasp with the rgh
hand Of Improvement, and in due season
the rewards Of judicious labor will cluster
thick around you. We wish that Bolivar
