IL would be satisfactory circumstance TO the wri-
OF this article, il he could foresee the eventual
completion oi the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
in a reasonable time. and its permanency il scan
be completed on It's present location. But as he
doubts whether that can be effected for many years
come he wishes to call the attention OF his fellow
tilizens to the propriety Of considering, whether it
will not be practicable by proper exersion to obtain
double or treble Rail Way from Eikton to the wa
ters OF Ghrissna-wilhin shorter period than il
will BIZ possible to finish the present Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal.


1t IS the opinion Of the writer, that there is
scarcely section of country in the United States,
where Rail Way could be located, with greater
advantage both to the public and TO the sockhold
ers than on the route mplated-whsre, by such
a Read Of only about ~ miles in length. commu
nicalon be opened between the two tdrgest Bays
in this counlry-t that are now shut up and requires
rouage by sea of several hundred miles, to reach
the points where this the shortes, communication
can readily be made at a small comparative EXPENSE
it is presumed-probably not exceeding 100000
dollars at most. 1t is true, that a Rail Way might
have been laid the location oil the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal but the country it must hare
been passed through could not have yielded as much
business to The Road. by very much as the one now
contemplated, and that for many substantial reasons
that could be assigned. MENTOR.
