turnpike roads that bgt, are made Of char
coal. The process is very simple, and the cost
inconsiderablc, when compared with either the
cost of a McAdamzed road or a railroad. The

4 charcoal road from Pamela, in Pamela county. to
Delta, on the Mississippi river. in the county OF
Coahoma. The experiment nf charcoal rolds has
been tried with success in Illinois and Ohio, aud
such a road is in progress OF erection between the
flr-famed Salt River and tine city of Louisville

Is cut tweutyfour feet long, and piled mp length
wise in the centre Of the Toa about five feet high
being nine feet wide at the bottom and two at the
top. and then covered with straw and carti in the
manner Of cuai-pits. The earth required TO cover
the pile, taken from either side, leaves two good
szed ditcles, and the timber, although not 50 h. is
easily eh ,rred, aud when charred, the earth is re-
moved TO the side Of the bitches. the coal rakrd
down TO width Of fifteen feet, leaving it two feet
thick at the centre and one at the Sides and the
