In our case, asin all similar, that desirable result depends upon these -conside rations, viz : Is there profitable; business lor the road ? Can it be cheaply an^substantially constructed] Can funds be rajsed:?^ jlnd though last, not ieast, can it be chcapjy, oie-; thodically, and energetically m.anagc^i-^f V' Two of these questions have ?answered .ne by the luminous repoilfjbf^^p^ ral Hayne, to whose zeal, correctV^ifeia^iie and sound discretion the citizens of thie State are largely indebted ; the other by" out "sub r*" O ?< 7 J ^ scription list, so honorable to South Carolina^ As regards the or hers, I will lay before you faithfully, the result of information," given willingly, by some of the most, experienced men to the North. 7:;':^ The most expensive mode of (jdnstrncung.. rail roads that lias yet been tried in 'America, and which has met with the^ .^^ided d.isap^; probation of those who carriell^'.Tmto e.flrectr has aeen by slips, or scantling^^f g^nitef lafd . lengthways, on a solid T^ndation, on wbi'ch scantlings, iron bars_ were*"laid, well secured by spikes or bol^for tiig cars to run upon.

Us i Another method is by laying blocks of -gran ite or other stone, across the track-lines^as sleepers, and placing oh/them cast tron'picces ! for the car wheels to run upon. This, plants I liable to all the objections of the former, wijij i this in addition, that the cast iron sudden^j breaks, endangering whole lines of cafs,'-und' I frequently slopping the entire business of the i road. % * - . ? .> V Another and greatly improved plan has I B^cn t > substitute rai4s of solid wrought ironi I an^cf great weight, unsupported by woodmen I raid upon sleepers of timt^r. ,' Some j iron rail||Ute-ly imported by ihe Susqujh'annah , and BaltioWe road, weigh 58" pounds -to the ?yard.in 'len^L - ,7 ?

I \ A STOC-KIIOLDER. 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 adapted tjl&p^means. -our country and our mataaHyg. Great errors have miUrd every where; and how coul^fc^wyPerwl'se, in new and 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 rails : the size of the iron; tiie mode of laying down the sleepers ; or have proceeded from the vanity or carelessness of those intrusted with 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 part fell 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 executed ojt tnPwost solid and .-lasting: principle that could be -devised ; that is with granite as first ; described. The viaduct? were finished with aiv elegance that did great honor to the tas;e i of the directors : but the expense of all tins ! ?was at the rate of seventy two- thousand, i eieht hundred dollars per mile! The failure of their funds' compelled this company to I retrench, and on otlter^parts of the road the expense was rcduced gradually, until it came down- to about nine thousand d6!lars per mile, at. which rate about sixty miles were com pleted." ; [^"Taking it for granted that timber rails with iron. bars, are best suited to our country, it is fortunate that what we shall be compelled to cfo, we can do better than our neighbours for bur timber is I believe equal to if not better than i.ifry in the world. We have the best kind of j ijpine in the lower and middle country, and from 1 ivtfiis 'side of cur own mountains, down the ? whole of the French Broadband probably ?'ititfeh farther, we have locust e::6ugh to finish the 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 of what we do cs\ Sou ml all-heart wood per^ [foctiy sir aight 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 very f&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 the best form and size;. ? :These apparently trivial things are of more .? importance ffiahls "generally imaginid. Many i-mites of rail road "travelled over I n .<= t .summer, were repairing at great rxpense for want of attention : 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. I u 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 be discovered on many roads. The sockets for the spike heads being all of one size and form, the heads of the spikes ought to have been made by machinery to fit exactly ; where thev do not fit, they are soon worn out'; the irr?n hars are spt in motion tinder the cars -- 'asal' A STQCft HOLPEtL. v.
