In North Carolina a railroad along Tar
river is to be constructed on the Welsh
narrow guage plan of W u a half fest.
MEMPHIS needs railways, and manufac-
tories follow, and crowded population and
valuable farms, as necessarily and nRtu-
rally as night follows day.
THE corporators OF the Memphis and
Raleigh Welsh Railway Company have
opened books for subscription to the cap
ital stock at No. 7 Madison street. Presi-
dent Babcock advises us that there Is no
doubt that a sum adequate for ali ends
contemplated will be speedily raised.
CHICAGO, with its ten great trunk lines
of railroad, and two hundred locomotive
engines arriving and departing every
day with its twelve miles of Wharves,
twenty miles of Nicolson pavement, is
now laying the foundation of a hotel
that is to cost g., 900, 900. Omaha, that
fifteen years ago had not a name, is now
a city OF 5000 inhabitants. Cheyenne, in
sight of the eternal snow-eapped peaks of
the Rocky Mountains, in i've years, has
attained a population of 5000; and thus
we might scan along the lines Of 100000
miles of railroad in this country and de
monstrate their Irresistible power, and
present facts of transcendant force too
potent to need further argument than
their mere mention.
BETWEEN six and eight hundred hands
are now and hive been for months past
engaged on the Georgia portion bf the
Atlanta and Richmond air-line road, and
a much larger force is being organized for
the work in North and South Carolina.
Immediately on its completion the i'm
mense travel between New York and New
Orleans viii fall into this channel, as it
will be the shortest and most expeditions
route between Richmond, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and
Charlotte, Atlanta, Mobile, Montgomery,
etc. The President, in his address to the
stockholders of the consolidated compa-
ny, says that he expected during the year
1872 to run a train without change from
the waters of Chesapeake Bay TO Atlanta,
Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans.
The greatest enthusiasm is manifested in
all the counties of Georgia and South
Carolina, through which the Airline is
expected to pass, and all are subscribing
literally to the work. The line is to run
from Charlotte, north of YOrkville, via
S~partanburg and G~reenyilie, S &C, Gaines
vile, Ga, etc, to Atlanta, two hundred
and twenty-five miles. The road is now
in operation from Atlanta eastward in
Georgia twenty miles, and thirty-three
miles more in hat State are under con-
structiOn, which it is expected wild be
completed by January, 1871.
