know the great desideratum in the selection

for cheapness, is the avoidance of the build
ing of bridges—the country through which
it would have to pass, after leaving Sparta,
in the direction of Union Point, does no
present a route of so much feasibility as the
other end, but nevertheless, it is^tlie opin
ion of not myself alone, but of others more
capable of judging than myself, that such a
line could be built for probably less than an
average cost per mile, of Railroads in this

Mr. Yonge, besides giving an account of
the present condition of the road, furnishes
carefully prepaired estimates of the proba
ble income of the Road for a series of years,
and of the necessaiT expenditures, during
the same years, to complete its reconstruc
tion, and equipment. According to these
estimates, without any aid from the State,
the Road will be perfected, and return to
the Treasury $180,000 in 1856, $190,000
in 1857, $479,000 in 1858, and $500,000
in 1859, with a constantly increasing bus
iness and with only one drawback—-the de
terioration of iron—to constantly, increasing
profits.
Thus according to the estimates of the
8aperiDteudant, it will be several years, still,
before the State cau expect any revenue
from its Road, but the delay can be borne
in anticipation of the large profits which it
*ni eveutually pay. I he estimates of the
pteeent efficient Superintendent may be,
however, completely upset, by the election
by the Legislature, or the appointment by
its Exesfative, of inootnpotent officers, to
