Tho North Missouri Railroad, croscI near Lan caster, is under construction from Maaon City to the Iowa liso. It there connects with the Iowa Central and St. Louij & Cedar Rapids Roads, both in process of construction. The Iowa Central con nects at Cedar Falls, I.wa, with tho Cedar Falls A Minneso'a Railroad being pushed forward to tho M r.nesota line, there connecting with the Min nesota Central. Thcao several links will f rm a great northern roata, from St. Paul to SW Louis, and will be a very valuab.e contributor to this Dal. Tho country through which tbey pass, '13 already ell settled, and a great producing coun try. The St. Joseph & Council BluSi Railroad, is also in progress. It will furnish trallio by giving transportation facilities and means of travel to the counties along tho Missouri, river. Others are' projected ; among many, the extension of the Kan pas City & Cameron rad to Ft. Des Moines. " The further extension of this road irom Brown- ille, Nebraska, to Ft. Kearney, thereby forming a Tacific connection, will be of inestimable valuo, and will euablo thisroidto obtain a fair share of the j resent business of thegojd mines of tha Terri tories, and on the completion of the Union Pacific, a share in tho great carrying trade from Asia and China, Owing to tho uncertainty attending Indiin mat ters in Nebraska, that portion of the survey will have to stand ever uutil spring. A much cheaper route per mile, with lighter grades, cai ba obtained across Nebraska, than through tho northera tier of counties in Missouri. f Business Froipccts of the Iioal. Although, before deciding upon tha construc tion of a railway, the Crst consideration would seem to boa careful computation of the amount of bigness already d ne npjn tho Una of road in tho transportation of freight and passing-rs, with a view of determining whether this would justify the imposed expenditure. Estimates of this character aff jrd a very uncertain index as to the actual buei hpsi that would result undor ihe new circutn tsnces. Judging from tbe effects produced on tbe business of the country upon the opening of anew rail-way in similar districts, we find new branches of trade starting up, and the older ones stimulated by the greater economy of transportation. Tha facilities for traveling, induce an increase of population, not only in tbo smaller towns ol the interior, but mora especially in tho agricultural portion of the coun try j and the vacant lands of the prairies become tlx-ifty farm, causing a corresponding increase in the agricultural products. Upon tho opening of this road, as one instance, the great bulk of merehandiso for tho towns of tho inter or, now transported from Ottumwa, on the north, and St. Joseph on tho south, by wagon, a distance of over one hundred miles, must necessa rily follow this roil to. Fine lumber, for building and manufacturing purposes, now almost impossiblo to obtain in the interior, will also form agreat item of transportation; avast emigration, even tending weptwor 1, not only into the Stato of Missouri, but still further, to Nebraska, Ivinsas, and the Territo ries, will be sources of revenue. Upon a careful consilcration of the tab la of sta tistics cf the population, agricultural products and taxable 'valuation of the property of tho counties' along the route, as w ell as those adjoining, both on the north and south, one can not bat conclude that tha revenue to be derived from the various sources will justify such an expenditure as maybenocos sary .to construct and equip this roal. Its trafn can not be influence! by other .rontes, there baing no nearer railroad on either side than forty five miles, at the closest poitt, and the early completion of this road will prevent the building of any railroad between the Burliugton and Missouri Rircr o 1 the north, and the Hannibal & St. Joseph on tbe south. Ia conclusion, 1 would etate that the limited sum placed at my disposal, caused by the non-tulfilling of their engagements in soma of the counties, and he departure of my prinoipal assistant, Mr. Geo. Brown, at a time when he could not bo replaced, has prevented such a thorough survey and recon noissance being made as the nature of the country requires. I would also state that 1 do cot consider this as the best route that can ba fonnd ; but con sider the estimites need not be exceeded to build the road. Tha grades can, I am certain, be mate rially reduced, and much of the heavy work avoided. Tbe altgneraent will compare favorably with other ronds. Tho county-seats have all been made points but direction has net been sacrificed for any minor towns along the route. In concluding mv report, I desire to express my thanks to tbo different members of the corps, for their promptitude and teal in tho discharge of duty under many trying circumstances, but moro es pecially to my assistants, Messrs. Brown and Grant; also to many gentlemen who sa kindly tssisted me as pioneers, and without whose valuable services I cculd not eo quickly have carried the survey through.
