In our case, asin all similar, thatdesirable result depends upon these -conside¬rations, viz : Is there profitable; business lorthe road ?

To lite Slochholuers of ill z Charleston, Louis¬ville and Cincinnati Rail Road,

oy THE CONSTRICTION OF RAIL ROADS.After looking at many rail roads, our own

mode of construction, imp ro x 1 >v r 1

riencc, seems the best adaptedtjl&p^means.-our country and our mataaHyg.

Great errors have miUrd everywhere; and how coul^fc^wyPerwl'se, in newand untried operatioi^^^o^xtensive a kind ?These have been not only such as I have alrea¬

dy stated, but in the size of the wooden railsthe size of the iron; tiie mode of layingdown the sleepers ; or have proceeded fromthe vanity or carelessness of those intrustedwith the suporintendance ot the various works.On one rail way the absolute necessity of has¬

tening the completion of the road, and thus

.keeping alive the hopes of the stockholders.<perhaps also with a view to aid from the leg¬islature of the State, /tfie ckrec-tors were in¬

duced to use green timber of all kinds cut

out of the woods. The Whole of " this partfell into immediate decay, incurring an enor-

>mous incr^se of expenditure of the most

thriftless kind.-nameJjr, daily and peace-meal^repairs. *" Vr'v

In Maryland the first "pix miles' of the Bal-

Ktiaiore^nd Ohio rail road, were executedojt tnPwost solid and .-lasting: principle thatcould be -devised ; that is with granite as first

; described. The viaduct? were finished withaiv elegance that did great honor to the tas;e

of the directors : but the expense of all tins.was at the rate of seventy two- thousand,

i eieht hundred dollars per mile! The failureof their funds' compelled this company to

I retrench, and on otlter^parts of the road theexpense was rcduced gradually, until it camedown- to about nine thousand d6!lars per mile,at.which rate about sixty miles were com¬

pleted." ;[^"Taking it for granted that timber rails withiron. bars, are best suited to our country, it isfortunate that what we shall be compelled to

cfo, we can do better than our neighbours forbur timber is I believe equal to ifnot better than

i.ifry in the world. We have the best kind of jijpine in the lower and middle country, and from

ivtfiis 'side of cur own mountains, down the. whole of the French Broadband probably

¦'ititfeh farther, we have locust e::6ugh to finishthe entire road. LocusL ichich n"yer rots!

W^have in the low country again Live Oak£ for-,.leepers, and Cypress, which ought to be

; used for every thing. But the most serious

Attention ought to be paid to the quality ofwhat we do cs\ Souml all-heart wood per^

[foctiy siraight in the grain, ought alone to be

pffiffig&Qnd no .other. Twisted timber, not

~t.|^^eayi .speedily, but does, not hold the

spikes. -The .size of the rails is of great im-

rpdrtance.-6 inches by 6 is used on one veryf&t&Tsivie road; iki. a bad size; having to«»much sui&ce/anil too ljtile depth.5 by 7 or

Teven 8 dubb^&off aHop -to 3i, is perhaps thebest form and size;. »

:These apparently trivial things are of more

.. importance ffiahls "generally imaginid. Manyi-mites of rail road "travelled over I n .<= t .summer,were repairing at great rxpense for want ofattention : first, to the quality of th? timber:secondly, the manner ot laying it down ; third¬

ly, to the simple circumstance of the impro¬per form of the heads of the spikes. Iu some

cases the iron bars had dropped of and were

lying along side of the wooden rails, occa¬

sioned by one pr till of the causes alluded to.

in the .very spikes with which the iron bars,arefastened down, this radical error may bediscovered on many roads. The sockets forthe spike heads being all of one size and form,the heads of the spikes ought to have beenmade by machinery to fit exactly ; wherethev do not fit, they are soon worn out'; theirr»n hars are spt in motion tinder the cars-
