As this is the season for forming companies to build plank roads, make contracts, procure lumber, &c. we reproduce in our paper to-day for the information of all concerned, the letter ot Senator Geddes, which appeared in the Western State Journal in August last. Mr. Geddes is known as the Father of Plank Roads in this State, and there is probably no man in the State who understands the subject better. Oswego begins to experience the benefits of plank roads, and to appreciate their importance to all classes ond branches of business. A number of roads have been completed in this county, all of which are paying handsome div idends and contributed largely to the general business of tire city and couutry. The Oswe go and Rome plank road, sixty miles long, is now intersected by various branches; by two from the village of Pulaski, and the third, in that direction, is now building from Port On taria, to connect with the Rome road at New Haven. The road, running south from Pu laski to Union Square, connects with the Cen tral Square road, and makes a continuous plank road through to the city of Syracuse. Another road has been built from the village ot Fulton to Hannibal. A road was commenc ed last season to run from Oswego to Hanni bal and Sterling, of which five miles from this city was completed, and a toll-gate put up, which is doing a good business. The residue of the road is under contract, and the lumber coming on lo the ground, to be completed in the ensuing season. A company lias been formed to build a road from Oswego to Syra cuse, and the stock is nearly or quite all taken, and the lumber is being procured. Another company lias just formed, to construct a road from this city to the town of Hastings. Plank roads are no longer an experiment here. The certainty ol ample returns to the investment of capital, and the great advanta ges secured to the trading and agricultural interests, have been demonstrated and estab lished. —■ Prank Roads. —Plank Roads are becom ing very common in those parts of the coun try where lumber is cheap, and where the soil is unsuited to the construction of good roads. The first plank road made in the United States was the one running from the city of Syracuse to Central Square, upon which the company commenced taking tolls on the 18th day of July r , 1846, so that the road has now been in use two years. This road was constructed under very favorable circumstances. The right of way cost the company’ nothing, and, the bed of an old and much travelled road being used, there was very little grubbing or grading required. The soil was a mixture of clay and sand, and was very easily worked. Lumber, delivered on the line, and distributed so as to be convenient to place in the track, cost only’ about $5 20 a thousand feet board measure. The first cost of the road was but little, and the immense amount of travel over it made the receipts into the treasury’ very large. So favourable were all these circum stances that the company have never exacted more than about three-quarters of the amount of tolls they were entitled to by’ law. The success of this road had the effect to produce a fever, and plank roads have become the or der of the day,—Onondago, Oneida, and Os wego counties are being covered with a net work of plank roads. From Oswego to Utica by’ way of Rome, and from Oswego to Syra cuse by r way of Central Square, are the long est lines. From Utica three or four roads ra mrne. r*rum Syracuse, two ma *,*,.-*l., one south, and one east. There may now hp one hundred in the course of construction in the State. Some of these may’ prove losing concerns to the stockholders; and the (, hot haste” with which people have embarked in this new thing may. in many cases, lead to a reaction in which the pendulum will swing as much too far the other way. Plank roads are much superior for the trav eller to any'other road ever constructed in this country; and where lumber is to be had at low prices, and there is a great amount of travel, it is certain that handsome dividends will be made by’ the company; but there must be these two favouring circumstances to justify their construction ; for, if the lumber costs too much, then it will wear out or rot out before it is paid for ; if the lumber costs but little, and there is but little travel, it will rot out before that lit tle pays lor it. —Where the lumber costs but little, then the sooner it is worn out the sooner the money is paid by’ the travel into the treas ury, with which to rebuild and pay interest. The question of how much money can be earned by a road of hemlock plank (which is the kind of timber thus far used in this State) before it will wear out. under the rates of tolls established by the general plank road law. i the first one to answer, in order to determine how much may’ be paid for plank, in those ca ses where the company are sure of sufficient travel out the road. Inquiries have been made in Canada to determine how much pine which is the lumber there used, will earn in a plank road ; but the plan of reming their gates to the highest bidder, by’ the year, makes it im possible to determine what amount of money’ is paid for toll. Upon the Syracuse and Cen tral Square road, great care has been taken to keep account of the receipts of every day at each of the gates, and as there is rio commut ing of tolls, and no persons, excepting the direc tors, are allowed to pass the gates free, and as very few persons are exempted by the law from the payment o*‘ tolls, the actual travel can be very nearly determined from the reeeipts. The rates of toll that are taken do not vary much from those established in the general law ; and by taking the receipts of the first two gates, which take the tolls for eight miles, and determining the amount that the planks are worn, we arrive at a fact that is important: The tolls taken during two years at gate No. 1 amounted to - - $7,957 14 The tolls taken at gate No. 2, dur ing the same time, amounted to 4.930 01 Total 12,887 15 The salaries of gatekeepers and repairs during (he two years amounted to ----- - $1,530 CO Leaving to go to rebuilding and dividends ------- 11.357 15 From a very’ careful examination recently made of the part of the road upon which these gates take tolls, it appears that the plank where there is but a single track are worn about one inch. Some parts of the road are worn more, owing to the planks having been floated by water under them ; hut where the road was properly constructed, so that the planks have not moved, the wear is just about an inch. By the time there is another inch worn it will be necessary to relay the road, as the knots will then so project above the surface as to make the road too rough for comfort; so that $22,714 30 may’ be expected as the nett proceeds of eight miles of plank from tolls. From our present knowledge of the subject, we should say, that before a hemlock plank is worn out. it will earn from $2 500 to $3 000 a mile, over and above repairs and costs of col lecting tolls. Experience in many different roads will only determine the precise amount. Sand or sawdust, or tan bark, put upon the plank, would do much to prevent wear, and where such substance can be lmd at a reason able cost, they should be used. Where the road is to run over a sandy country the facili ties for using sand for a covering will form an important fact in determining the durability of the road, No plank road made ofhemlock has been in use long enough to decide how long the plank can be preserved from rot. Seven y'ears iR perhaps us long as it would be prudent to cal culate on their lasting. Some varieties of hemiock are much superior in all respects to other varieties, hut it is not likely that the av erage duration of the planks will exceed seven years. Pine in Canada has lasted about eight years. In determining upon the probabilities of any proposed road paying well, it will be best to count the teams for a short period of time, dur ing such part of the y'ear as gives about an average of the travel, and then by’ calculat ing the tolls that these teams will* pay. and such increase of travel as may reasonably be expected to grow out of the construction of the road, it will be easy to determine with suffi cient accuracy, whether there will be travel enough to wear out the road within the time that it may be supposed it can be preserved from rot. Thus far, hemlock only has been used for planking roads in this country. Some loca tions furnish other kinds of timber that proba bly’ might be used with great advantage. Hemlock is very knotty', and the knots are ve ry hard, thus soon making a rough road. Oak, maple or beach would any of them be better.— In some of the Western States, white oak is so common, that in many cases it would be the cheapest timber that coulfl be uM:d. and its lasting qualities are such that a road ma le ol it would be profitable, where the reverse would be the case with hemlock. The Syracuse and Central Square plank road was the experimental road, and was con structed without any previous experience or practical knowledge of the subject and. as might have been expected.somc mistakes were made, and much has been learie 1 .living the two years it has been in use as its defects have become apparent. It has been before said that two inches is as much as hemlock plank can be worn before the knots will make the road too rough to tra vel on. On inch is sufficient to hold the knots from splitti ig out so that three inches is thick enoug! iir hemlock plank ; and if they are any thick ritis at a useless expense. Stringers four inches square were used on the Syracuse road. Experience has shown that more strength should be given lo the stringers, and that they should be laid five feet apart from outside to outside, so that the wheels may pass as near as may be directly’ over them. If the planks are but three inches thick the stringers should be a foot wide and three inches thick, to give strength to the road in tire direction of its length. The stringers being twelve in ches wide, there wiil be but three feet of space between them, and weighi us llie liOTSeS as well as the wagon will pass over them. If the stringers are laid near the ends of the plank, the plank will spring in the middle, and by’ the ends being held up ti e * wil become bent down, thus making a depression in the middle of the track. If the stringers meet at the ends with out any lap or any thing to splice the joint, they settle, and gradually become bent down at the place of their meeting. To avoid this, the stringers should be made of two peiccs. each piece six inches wide and three inches thick, and laid side by side, so that where the ends of one set of sticks meet each other they will be in the middle of the stick by the side of them, thus breaking joints. This could not be done without having the stringers sawed in two peices. In Canada it has been fonnd that the string ers, being excluded from the air. do not decay as fast as the plank, and that two coverings of plank can be used upon one set of stringers. Thus it is economy to strengthen the roui by strong stringers rather than by’ thick plank. “ITHe great difficulty with plank roads is to keep Llie water lYoin Homing ttie plunk. IMe rain falling upon the top o. the road, unless the water is allowed to run off freely’ will pass the cracks between tli.e plank; and then, as the earth is banked up to the top of the plank at both ends, the water cannot escape unless the soil is so loose as to allow it to settle down through it. The effect of the passing of the loads over the road is to press the timber upon the earth, and very soon it becomes packed very hard; and if any water is allowed to get under the plank, great injury arises from it. for it is but rare that it will drain away before the teams that pass over the road will cause it to fly up between the plank, and bring with it fine particles of earth, and deposit them on the top of the road, aiul thus excavate a cavity under the plank ; then the loads will spring the plank down, unless the stringers are strong enough and near enough together to hold eve ry thing up. Whenever the planks are allow ed to become loose and move under the loads, they go to peiccs with great rapidity. This is shown most fully upon the Syracuse plank road. In such places as the water has settled under the plank and floating them, tiiey are nearly destroyed, while in those n.irts of the road that the water has been kept from uader the plank, they are comparatively but little worn. In a single track road the plank should be eight feet long, and should be laid on one side of the centre of the road, and they should be on that side of the road that is used most Wy the loaded teams. The ends of the | lank that are iu the centre of the road should be time inches higher than the ends of the plank next the ditch, so that the water may run freely off from the ce lire of the road towards the ditch. The earth should come up to the top of the plank it the ends, so that teams may pass on anti off freely and the ends of the plank should be allowed to project, once in two or three feet by the general due, two or three inches, that the wheels may the more easily rise on the top of the plank in case a rut should be made at the ends. i’he earth should tall off at tile rate of three inches to the foot from the ends of the plank towards the ditch, which should be at least one foot lower than the top of the plank. On the other side of the centre of the road there must be a good eartli track, ten or twelve feet in width, for turning out upon. Tliis track should descend from the ends of the plank in the centre of the road at the rate of nine inches in twelve feet, so Hint the water that falls upon the earth road shall not run over the plank. Plank roads are more easily'd iaed when they run over an undulating cm: ary’ than when they run over a level, and are less objectionable on plank roads than tiiey are on any other road. The plank makes a better surface than any’ other thing that iias been tried, and the power required to draw a load up a hill is less on plank than it is on gravel or broken stone. A single track will generally be sufficient for the business. The {Syracuse road has but a single track, except where the soil is so san dy’ that the wheels would sink deep into it, and for a short distance in the town, and it is com puted that over IGI.OOO teams have passed over the eight miles next to the city within two years. For three days in succession the passages of teams at the first gate have equall ed one in two minutes tor the whole twenty four hours, and this was done upon a single track. The cases are few where one plank track will not be sufficient to accommodate the travel, if the earth road along the siile is carefully kept in order. The first roads that were constructed in Canada were made wide, but latterly no plank more than eight feet long are laid there, except in villiges and cities. The quantity ol lumber required for a sin gle track of three-inch plank, eight feet long, and stringers three inches by twelve, will be for one mile 126.720 feet of plank, board meas ure. and 31 680 feet ol stringers—in all 158 400 feet. The cost of laying a single track, will vary’ from fifty cents to one dollar a rod. as the soil is easy or hard lo work. This will cover the necessary cost of grading up to the ends of the plank, and making the track to turn out VOL. XXVII Ko. 3. upon, and the necessary ditches where an old roadway is used. When the bed is to be form ed, the costs ol its formation must be added, li hills are to be cut down and valleys filled up. and forests to be cut and grubbed out of the way. the cost of doing so must be calculat ed upon as additional to the sum named for laying the road. GEORGE GEDDES. Fairmount, Augcst, 1848. Cure for Founder. “The seedß of sunflowers.” says a corres pondent of the Zanesville Gazette. “ are one ot the best remedies known for the cure of founder in horses. Immediately on discov r ing that your horse is foundered, mix about a pint of the whole seed in his feed, and k will etfect a perfect cure.” The seed should he given as soon as it is discovered that the horse is foundered. The Mother of Washington. The Hon. David Paul Brown, in an O t tion delivered on the 22nd of February I si. made the following beautiful allusion to the mother of Washington: But is there not still another, in naturrl as sociation with the preserver of his count v, to whom, on this day. our grateful acknowl edgments are due—a name not less elevated or impressive in its moral influence than ilir.t of Washington himself. Can no one in t brilliant and overflowing assembly even with the promptings of this direct inquiry suggest i that, while all the heroes, past or pr, >ei>t. •pale their ineffectual fires” when brought into comparison with the immediate sulnect ot this celebration, there was still owe with out whose moral and intellectual cultu .* a. and instruction and virtuous training, even Wash ington himself would have passed unnotict in the common catalogue of men ? That ov to the unlading honor of the sex. was a w man—and that woman was Mary V\ asi.in ! ton. the mother of our hero. You have all heard of Cornelia, thed mg ter of Scipio Africanus anJ he, jewel | you have also heard how she stimulate .1 ht , two sons, Caius and Tiberius to glory bye | claiming in their presence “I am weary ! being called the daughter of Scipio and cl’.iet lv desire to be known as the mother of rh : Gracchi.” It immortal honors have ln en <b -1 creed to the name of Cornelia, is it i ot won derful that the name of one far greater than i Cornelia, the mother of one whom tin* uni j verse unites to applaud should have be • hitherto forgotten or disregarded upon the commemoration of this day! The recollec tion of her lotty maternal virtues —ol her Spar tan firmness—is at least a becoming tribute to the lairer and to the better portion of this au dience. It is to you that the country turns, 1 in the hour of its exigency, ior its patriots, its 1 statesmen, and its preservers—to you. let it ; ever be remembered, to whom it is confided— ““To nurse the gems Os god-like virtue in the infant mind.” Female Culture. The great entertainments of all ages are reading, conversation and thought. If our existence after middle life is not enriched by these. it becomes meagre and dull indeed — and these will prove sources of pleasure just in proportion to the previous intellectnal cul ture. How is that mind to have subject mat ter of pleasurable thought during its solitary hours, which has no knowledge of the treas ures of literature and science, which has made no extensive acquaintance with the distant and the past ? And wlmt is conversation be \ tween those who know nothing ? But on the other hand, what delight is that mind able to > receive and impart, winch is able to dis cuss any topic mat comes up. with • u ■ racy, copiousness, eloquence and beauty ! The woman who possesses this power can never fail . o render herself agreeable and use ful in any circle into which she may be thrown, and when she is so she cannot fail to be hap py. A full mind, a large heart, and an elo quent tongue, are among the most precious of human things. The young forsake their sports and gather round, the old draw nigh to hear, and all involuntarily bow down to the supremacy of mind. These endowments add brilliancy to youth and beauty, and wl. n ;.ll other charms are departed, they make old age sacred, venerable, beloved. Death, Heavens! what a moment must be that when the lust flutter expires on our lij* ! What a change ! —Tell me ye. who are ii ep est read in nature and in God, to what n< v world are we borne ? Whither has that ] ark, that unseen, that incomprehensible i U ili gencefled ? Look upon the cold hvi I gi.a-t ----ly corpse thatlie6 before you ! That was but a shell, a gross earthly cove ring, which held the immortal essence that has now k f.’ leli no rage, perhaps, through illimitable - j ac ; to receive new capacity.* to delight; new j ow ; ers of conception, new glories of beatitude ! Ten thousand fancies rush upon the uiiiul as it completes the awful moment between li.e i and death! It is a moment big with imagin ations. liop.es and fears; it is the contun ini -1 tio.i that clears up- all mystery —soivt.- all doubts—which removes contradiction ;id de stroys errors. Great God ! What a flood o’, rapture may at once burst upon the dej arte soul. The unclouded brightness of the ctlt.- ; tial region—the solemn secrets of nature mi then be divulged ; the immediate uni \ eftfc past, the present forms of impenshah la* 1 ty. may then suddenly discing ta - bulating upon the delighted seme a .! huh. ing them in immeasurable bliss. Fidelity. Never forsake a friend. When enema s ga ther around ; when sickness falls on the heart when the world is dark and cheerless ; is the time to try true friendship. The heart tl s.t has been touched with true gold will redouble its efforts, when the friend is sad and in trouble. Adversity tries real friendship. They who turn from the scene of distress, betray their hypocrisy and prove that interest only moves them. If you have a friend who loves you — who has studied your interests and happi ness—be sure to sustaiu him in adversity.— Let him feel that his former kindness is ap preciated—and that his love was not thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare, but it ex ists m the heart. Who lias not seen and felt its power ? They only deny its worth and power, who have never loved a friend or la bored to make a friend happy. The good and the kind —the affectionate and the virtuous, see and feel the heavenly principle. They would sacrifice wealth and honor to promote the happiness of others, and in return they re ceive the reward of their love by sympathise ing hearts and countless favors, when they have been brought low by disease or adver sity. The Pure In Heart. The springs of everlasting life are within. There are clear streams gushing up from the depths of the soul, and flowing out to enliven the sphere of outward existence. But like the waters of Siloah, they /* go softiy.” You must listen to catch the silvery tones ol the little rill as it glides from its mountain home ; vou may not witness its silent march through the green vale, but its course will be seen in the fresh verdure and the opening flowers; its presence will be known by the forms of life and beauty which gatiter around it.* It is ever thus with the pure. You may not hear the “ still small voice,” or heed the silent as piration ; bnt there is a moral influence and a holy power which you will feel. The wilder ness is made to smile, flowers of new life ami beauty spring up and flourish, while an invis ible presence breathes immortal lragrauce through the spiritual atmosphere.
