Rail-Roads Cost of &c. From the Fort Wayne Lid. Sentinel. i To the Editors. Gentlemen In rnv former

communications, I have spoken of the advantages which the people of Indiana would en joy from the uninterrupted facilities which a railroad, connecting Lake Eric with the Ohio river at Evansvillc, would afford them to pass their produce to a southern and a northern market. 1 will now endeavor to give the cost of constructing such a road for a single track, promising, however, that it will be impracticable in the absence of that dita which a minute survey furnishes, to give any other than an aimroximate estimate of the r.osf The knowledge which has been acquired in the c.,m..,j. ,i .i ' i:-.: r iL.iji.-iifiiiiiiitaii iiiiiiiniii. iiM i ill i i n mm i i if tn 11 motive power thereon, since ihcir introduction as modes of inter-communication in the United States, tully prove the superiority ot steam over a ninal : power: and in point of economy, it is upon the j Baltimore and Ohio railroad as 10 to 33 in favour j of.llie formcr- W!ien stoarn is intended to be apexcept at the inclined plane, where there is one j mile of double road, and at turnouts (hiving one to every seven miles,) and depositories about three miles more. The largest bridge is over the Edisto river of 400 feet in length and upon the whole route, there are about 'om cavation and embankment pleted, costing less than $1 eluding stationary engines comotive engines and fourteen freight and passen ger cars, depositories, workshops, land purchased with a view to future use of timber, surveying, sumi uiit:nui;ucc,uiiyiiit:t'riiiir. iiisirumoiiis. looisanu machinery, water stations, &,c., and every item of expense, necessary to place the road in complete order with all the requisite machinery upon it preparatory to the profitable use of the same, ,$'5,700 per mile. It may be said to be built entirely upon the wooden sleeper plan, with this addition, that as a great part of the route connecting Charleston with Hamburgh passes over swampy ground, it was found cheaper to pile, in order to secure a solid foundation for their supcrstructuie, than to embank; they have, therefore, in passing over such ground, driven a pile under the end of every sleeper, into which the head of the pile is let by tenant. The same plan (with the exception of piling) ha3 been adopted for the Tuscmnbia railroad, for the Ithaca and Owega road, the Portsmouth and Roanoak railroad, and upon tho Philadelphia and Columbia road, where they had used several modes of constructionsuch asircn rails and stone blocks, and stone rails, they have itbandoned all, for tho wooden rails with sleepers. And this substitution of troo(2 for stone and the iron rail, and that too where stone is plenty and timber scarce, es tablishes most conclusively its preference over the more expensive modes of construction. Besides, wood is found to be of sufficient ability, and yet so clastic ssgrcatly to diminish the amount of wear and tear of engines and cars. The iron bars, or plates, used in the construction of the Charleston road are 2$ inches wide, by inch thick, and cost in Charlcslon $15 per ton, about IS tons are required to the mile. But the cost of iron per mile will depend upon the dimensions of the bar used, and knowing the size and the expense of freight from New Orleans, we at once have the Cost. If iron cost $15 at Charleston and -;51 at Tuscumbia, it would probably cost $55 per ton at Evansville. Iron, therefore, of the dimensions of that used upon the Charlcslon road, would be $900 per mile. If bars of the size used upon the Portsmouth and Roanoak road, 2 inches by inch thick, 10 tons will be required, costing $'SS0 per mile. But if bars 2 inches wide and 3-8 thick, such as are used upon the Charleston and Augusta, and Delaware and Hudson railroads, be adopted, then 12 tons only will be required per mile, which at .$55 per ton amounts to $000; to which if we add $140 for spikes and connecting plates, we shall have all the iron whic'i is required in the construction of one mile of road, for a single track: and it would be worth more to the state, after ten vcars.thanit cost, in consequence cf the low rate 4 ' of duty, at which railroad iron is admitted into our ports. But we have another woik which has been constructed quite as cheap as the Charleston road. About 23 miles of the TuscumUa,Courlland, and Decatur railroad, which is graduated for horse power, have been completed (with the exception of gravelling a horse path) for $3,095 per mile, the iron being of the same dimensions of that used upon the Charleston road, and this distance embraces two bridges, one 429 feet, tho other 112 feet between the abutments. Having instanced those two works in different states, located and constructed under the superinuie? i yOKinmc !"!n'' T . 1 win nun ; i w .

In fact, there can be no barrier interposed to their extension. Whereas, if a breach occurs in a canal bank, all commerce ceases upon that level, until it can be repaired and refilled with wa ter. Canals are closed with ice from two to four months in the year canals divide farms, and form impassable ditches to the passage of wagons, from one part thereof to the other canals are confined to the margin of streams, and require so great a quantity of water for their supply, that extensive reservoirs are created for the accumulation of disease. But a more insuperable objection to the commencement of any other canal in Indiana, is the impossibility of connecting the Ohio river with the Upper Wabash valley with a navigable one. His second question has already been answered. And as his object in asking is to acquire information, I nn - swerto hia third: That railroads, for a double graduated with as wido a! base as canals, of course the expense would be less at the same depth: but as very little excavation is required in preparing the bed for the sleepers of a railroad; and as undulating railways are found preferable for locomotive engines, there would bo no necessity in "a champaign country like Indianv5 for an v. Besides a double track is not nccesaarv, nor would one be required perhaps for ten or fifteen years, for the reason, that a single track between Fort Wavnel and Evansvillc, with one turnout to evcrv five or ten miles, would accommodate greater amount of commerce than triple the quan tity that passed over the Ohio canal during the last year. As I Ir.vc never seen a hard, smooth surcc formed of angular stones' 1 cannot draw a parallel ?, (or pei haps course) would do less injury and receive a less resistance than from the best hewn granite of New Hampshire, in consequence in part, of the greater friability of the stone.
