ArnCA AND HGRNELLsv1LLE RAILROAD Our
readers are already aware that there has been a
good deal said about terminating the New V ork
and Erie Railroad at Buffalo instead OF Dunkrk,
by the construction OF link from Atilca TO Hor-
ncllsyie, Slcuben County, distance ii 81 miles.
bill has been introduced INTO the Legislature, IN
cooperating company to construct this connecting
link, with capital OF S750,0O0


a recent survey has been made and the ro'tr
is declared TO be feasible. The whole distance. 1t
is said can be passed over with no greater inclina-
ion at any point, than 10 feet 10 the inlle. II Is
proposed 10 cross the Genesee Rlver at Portage
although in doing SO, in order 10 AVOID hiShianos
and obtain a grade o less than 30 feet per mile,
curve with radius oil II or lJUo ecl must De SUD-
mitted TO.


The Buffalo Commercial says" This is the only
feature in the Portage route winch appears al all
objectionable, aud it may rot even amount to an
direction here as il throws the line IN sight OF the
most romantic scenery in Western New-I ork At
one glance The traveller as he passes slowly over tins
par, of the road, can see the Gencsee Valley Canal
cut ont OF rock, more than 100 feet high, the west
end OF the Tunnel, Hornby Lodge, the upper and
middle Falls, together with perpendicular rocks
which rise in malestlc grandeur oil each sice the
river 10 a hight OF :27 feet. Should this route be
adopted, aud the road built, the scenery would ~
duce those who travel tor pleasure 10 make Portage
one al their visiting places. Alter leaving the Gene
see alley the OF the line Is again very direct
TO point about five miles from Attica The grade
lines also or this part of the route very tavora
be From this poin, the line passes round the high
lands east of Attica on curve with very large
radius and grade Of 81 feet per mile. to the STA
ton in the village, where ilr Tonawandda and At
,ica and Buffalo railroads connect. The distance
from Atica 10 Hornellsvle by the Portage route
will no, vary much.irom ,, miles.


We should not be surprised 1t this project should
ultimately be consummated Buffalo is that natl-
IA! terminus of lake navigation. and it seems alto
gether proper, if an equally coed roae may be ob-
tanned, that the projected Railroad should begin
where steamboat navigation ceases This route
would be constructed 10 HorneiIsville promptly, il
the charter were granted, and The Erie Railroad
was constructed TO that point The capital could
be raised in Genesee, Wyoming and Erie Counties
