prise independent Of any outside h6lp. As
great manufacturing city, ghe needs |
Southern outlet for the products of her
manufacturers to enable her TO compete |
successfully with the cities of the East for
the trade Of the States OF the South in i'm |
plements and machinery. Her business
men have become fully aware of
the importance of this direct means OF
communication, and have determined
TO have it at any cost. Since the
slaves have been freed and the indus
try and enterprise of the South has
been turned to manufacturing, the de-
mand tor i'm proved agricultural implements
and every description OF machine ry has
increased, and will continue to increase, TO
all enormous extent. Nearly the whole
business capital Of that city is engaged in
the production Of these articles, and by
building this road she becomes at once the
chief source Of supply for the five States
through which it will pass, and will be
placed on a footing to compete with her
rivals for the trade Of the entire South.-
Besides this demand for all outlet for her
articles of manufacture when ready for
market Pittsburg is rapidly exhausting the
supply of raw material in her vicinity, and
will soon be IN need Of increased facilities
for drawing them from new fields. The
exhaustless quantity and great variety of
minerals, aud the abundance of excellent
| timber of West Virginia and the southwes-
tern portion of Virginia, point these sec
lions out as the fields from which our fu-|
ture supply of raw material is 10 he drawn.
! We may therefore safely predict that, des-
pite the apparent insurmountable obsta-
cles presented in lofty mountains, thiBrOad
will be built. There are no difficulties
that money and the engineering skill OF
the ninteeuth century cannot overcome"
