THE CINCINNATI ROAD.
Pushing the Work Along the located Line

The Cincinnati papers give full details
about the Southern road which are very
encouraging. The EnTfrer. Of the 10th
says:
To-day large corps of engineers leave
the city to put down the stakes for work
on that portion of the Southern railroad
extending between South Danville and the
state line, near Chitwood's. The Trustees
have given out contracts for fifty sections,
that's, the contracts have been signed with
sureties attached, and the obligations of
both contracting parties have been fixed.
Contractors are already building shanties
on the line of their contracts, and laborers
are assembling. Some of them will COM
mence at the middle of this week, and by
Monday work will be lively along the
whole fifty sections awarded. The road is
divided into divisions of about forty miles
each, lettered A, b, G, ID and +, from Gin
cinnati south. ID and + are the divisions
which are south of South Danville, and on
which work has been begun. Each divis-
ion has, when actual work proceeds, an en-
gineer, who is responsible for its manage
Iuent, and who must keep horse and
travel over the division at least once q
month.
The work at Kings Mountain tunnel
was begun about Dec. %, 1873. Last week
there were two hundred and eleven men
working on it, A village has grown up
around the place, composed of shanties for
the accommodation of the men engaged in
the work. This force is disposed princi-
pally at the north end of the tunnel.
Work in the shaft several hundred feet
from the north end goes on day and night,
sixteen men forming q relief Thirty-six
of the one hundred and five feet of the
shaft have been eXcavated already. The
material is solid rock, whose strata in
creases in thickness successfully the lower
they lie. The layers of stone are not sep.
arated by intervening clay or slate, but
rest directly the one upon the other
From indications of the nature of the
material discovered in the shaft, it is
thought that the tunnel will require no
masonry at all.
The bridge over the Kentucky river will
be the highest bridge on the continent
being 215 feet above low water in the river
Tunnels and trestles abound in the heavy
part of the road, which is comprised in the
portion let between South Danvlle and the
Tennessee State line South of Kings
Mountain tunnel is a trestle two thousand
feet long and seventy-five feet high, over
the west fork of Groen river Then al
Somerset, Just north of the Cumberland
river, are two tunnels, one 1020 and the
other ] ,1sS feet long. Further along, and
90 miles south of Lexington, is tunnel
go feet long, and in the next two miles
south are two trestles in Sloan Valley, one
$40 feet long and los feet high, the other
80 feet long and 1873 feet nigh In the
