GREAT RAILROAD SPEED!
Three hundred miles per hour. —A pa
per was lately read by Judge Meigs, be
fore the American Institute Farmer’s
Club, at New York, upon the subject of
rapid railroad travelling, in which he
said.
“ I have, with others, admired the
progress made in velocity on railroads
up to even one hundred miles an hour on
staight rails, which has been done in
England. But I entertain views of rail
road velocity far beyond any yet ventur
ed to be expressed. The Emperor of
Russia has taken the first great step to
wards what I deem the ultimatum of rail
road travel.
“ Instead of cutting a narrow alley
through the country, or going around
everything in the way of a straight line
—he has cut a broad way five hundred
miles, from St. Petersburg to Moscow—
he has made it all the way two hundred
feet wide, so that the engineer sees eve
rything that comes on the road!
Such is part of the future ; the rail
road from point to point a mathematical
line; the rails ten times stronger than
any now used the locomotives on wheels
of fur greater diameter, say twelve or fif
teen feet; the guage of a relative
breadth; the signals and times perfectly
settled; the road, walled on both sides,
during the transit of trains having the
gates of the walU all closed. Then, in
stead of one hundred miles an hour!
we shall more safely travel three kun
dredmiles an hour! I will not pretend
to say more—one hundied seems fast
enough: so did twenty, a few years
ago ; and now, on very straight rails or
some straight runs, we do travel sixty
miles an hour in this State, and in Eng
land one hundred miles have been ac
complished.
■“ Mathematical precision and time
will solve this problem—a passage from
New York to San Francisco in ten
hours /”
The road above will be built in Eu
rope. The United States of North
America have design to build a Rail
road from ihe Atlantic ocean to the Pa
cific, across America. This road will
be built by the American people, cer
tain.
From the first English settlement in
America, at Jamestown in Virginia, to
the present time, the emigrants to this
country from the Old World were people
of the most enterprising, brave and dar
ing character to be found anywhere.—
Only such came to America, those other
wise remained at home.
Before a quarter of a century will
pass, that the people of this country
will build a Railroad from the Atlantic
* ocean to the Pacific ocean, across
America, I think can be little doubted.
In a short time, there will be completed
Raijroads from the Atlantic ocean to
Memphis, Tenn, on the Mississippi
river, a distance of near seven hundred
miles. From that place cross the State
of Arkansas, East of Arkansas river
and cross that river below Fort Gibson
and above the mouth of Canadian river
This, in Arkansas, will be near three
hundred miles—thence to Santa Fe !
near six hundred miles—thence to St
Joaquin river, near eight hundred miles
—ihen as the people may think best
across from one ocean to the other, will
be near twenty-five hundred mile^ —
This, I think, will be the mo?t practi
cable route found, as it is near the mid
dle ground between the North and
South. From Arkansas river to the
Pacific ocean across, the United States
should build this road—east of that will
be built by the States interested. Why
this should be the route: It is far enough
South, perhaps,not to be embarrassed by
the freezes of winter that do occur in a
more Northern clime; and why this road
should be made; it will unite the Ameri
can people. Their interest will be uni
ted, and man is mostly governed by
what he believes to be his interest.
Every State in the Union should be
» permitted, if they choose, to connect
with this road. It will pass through a
country wanting in Timber, embank
ments can be made, and thousands of
iron ore is at hand; which will supply
the place of timber. If this Railroad
were built, three days, 1 think, would
be necesuty to pass from the Atlantic
ocean to the Pacific, across North Amer

and any man’s sympathy ought lo have
been for me rather than for others act
ing wrong, tho’ ever so many. But
even in charging this “ community as
drivellers” did I not make the excep
tion in favor of the just I said “ nearly
one half on one, and nearly one half on
the other.” And after all, is not this
truth. The exceptions are chosen men
of honest integrity. And the balance of
every people under the sun, especially
of those around about me, is not over-
scrupulous of probity!
But what do we hear the Lord, Him
self, and Holy prophets and apostles
say ? And can I speak better truth
than they ? The Bible has it that the
heart of man is “ evil continually” and
“ most desperately wickedand that
“ there is none good, no not oneand
few find the way to God.
This is certainly language more uni
versal and strong than any I can use.

inconsiderate countrymen of conduct

and having generally no principle T
If I took them for what I found my

sponsibility.
After this, I shall take leave of self-
vindications, with this point: that if
the people were of ray mind and heart,
few of the now nearly overwhelming
troubles and symptoms of misery that
harrass this Confederacy and seem to
breed inteiminable disputations, would
remain in the land. To see a great
people, full of hope and spirits, boast

Iethagic about removing known evils.
and so reckless of the counsels of their
most sagaciour men—and dissenting

gloomy and appalling forebodings and
the intensest regret. J. J. F.

advised to make trial of Sta.bl,er’s Ano
