profitable in the fhre tgn one. . Already, tho extra profit to the cotton growers of the south, because of domestic manufactures, is more to them than the ivhole cost of the cotton goods which they consume, as we think that we are able pretty clearly to shew, and will attempt to shew hereaf. tcr ; and thodgh dessolation and ruin will be the fate of many woollen manufactories and manufacturers, because of the bill which passed the house of representatives and was arrested in the senate, the great wool growing and manufacturing interest will finally be placed in the same condition that the cotton business is. This will mightily tend to increase the transportation of commodities of every description from one part of the United States to another; and by this rail way, an equalized value of them, at Baltimore and Pittsburg, Wheeling, Sec. will be nearly produced. It is supposed that the toll on a ton of merchandize, between those places, will be only two dollars and fifty cents, which is about equal to twenty-five cents for a barrel of flour then tvill western Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the greatest part of Ohio, with Kentucky Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, have, as it were, a market close to them, though located on the shut es of the Chesapeake ! Iron is already brought to the sea board from Pittsburg the supplies of the navy are partially furnished from that city and its neighborhood, which also sends more than 10,000 boxes of window gtass to the eastern ports :a large part of

it goes to uoston I Yv hat, then, will be

the business transacted, when the cost of

carriage shall be reduced by making this rail way ? Thus will scientific power conquer space, and even the Alleghaiiies sink, as it were, beneath the pressure of unconquered steam, nay, the laws of graitation give way before the march of mind ! Locomotive engines will be chiefly used, but there may be some stationaty ones to overcome the principal ascents. -There does not seem to be any possible reason, why that power which propels vessels through water, may not propel them on land or for 250 miles as certainly as 5 or 10 miles The length of a rail way cannot at all effect the principle of that great improvement. Some may feel disposed to smile at the prediction, but v;e have no doubt the time will scon rome, when a person may pass from the city of Baltimore to some point on the O Jtiio river, with the same sort of certainty, ease and convenience, that he may make a voyage from Baltimore to Norfolk in a steam boat that little travelling palaces "will be prepared, in which persons may eat, drink, sit, stand or walk, and sleep, just art they do in steam boats. Whv not ? We cannot app ehend any possible reason why they should not. When the nrriter of this was a little boy, he heard O. Evans say, 11 that the man was then living who would see the Ohio and Mississippi covered with steam boats, and that the r:hild was then born who would travel from Philadelphia to Boston, in one day.' The first is the second may be The Liverpool Courier, of the 1 7th Jan. says The first experiment of sta;$e Coaches travelling upon rail ways, has been made with great success between Darlington and Stockton. The t ail way From Wilton to Stockton, a distance of 25 miles, W39 formed for the conveyance of coals ; and so great is the advantage of this kind of road in lowering the expense of carriage, that coals which formerly at 1 8s. per ton, in Stockton, are now sold there for 8s. 6d. The tail way passes through Darlington, which is at a distance of twelve miles fiom Stockton, and two coaches now travel the road daily, convey ing a very great number of passengers at the rate of a penny per mile each.The vehicles arc the bodies of six oUl mail coaches, placed upon new and lower wheels, fitted for rail ways They ate dtawn by a single horse, which often dravts from 20 to 30 passenjrei s. at the rate of H) miles an hour, with quite as much ease as a horse moes in a pig, the traces being generally loose, and ids principal effort being to maintain his speed.
