were below the obstruction, and a' once formed
a bold plan for their capture or destruction. A
bis boats rounded the point in sight of the r !.:! steamer
lt was notioed that ILo latter were not in coo liliou to u
gage an enemy, their tires beta.' haro.y burning, ai d
tbeir boilers evidently tot coni&iumg a full h -a<l o:

diet could g?t on s^QCiei. ste-m to ;.-.sh t.pon them they
bet on lire by their owu rebel crews and a.lowed ;
drift down toward# tho rata licet. As their near approach
would endanger the latter, Colonel L.iet changed lin.
course toward the mouth of the river, considering the
object of his expeditmn fairly accomplished. <'lily "ic
gunboat was thus left rem-iuit g at the en-ire rebel navy
on the Masissippi. Our lleel before V.csebnrg rested iu

THE EilLKOiM OF TCE l?ID (TiTM.
AddltlMtl Chapter from the Cuuna Re
port.
The following U the ohapter on tbe progress of rail
roads m the United Staler for tbe decade of 1850-40, pre
pared by J O G. Kennedy, Esq., Superintendent of the
Census.?
Tbe decade which terminated In I860 ?u particularly
distinguished by the progress of railroad* In the United
Stelae. At ita commencement the total exte:.t In opera
tion wan 8,588-79 milts, Meting $?96,200,128, at ita close,
3d 592.77 miles, oosting $1,134,<53,009, the increase In
unicage having been ?2,004,08 miles, end la cost of con
struction $838,191 *81.
While the increase in mileage war nearly 300 per cent,
and the amount invested still gr?.t'.er, the consequences
thai have i esalled from those works have been augment
e J in vastly greater . alio. Up to the commencement of
tho decade oui railroad* sustained only an unlmportsn.
relation to the internal commerce of the country. Nearly
ali the Unas then in ope.-Htiou were 1 ca or isolivif
woiks, and neither iu extent nor design had begun to be
formed into that vast and oumiected <>Btem wh.cb, llko
a web, now c>vem every portion of our wi le domain,
enabling each work to ci ntribule to tho traffic and value
et a!!, and supplying means of loeon tun an I a market,
aimed at tus jwu door, for nea iy evoiy Ci.izta of tie
United States
Previous to :he commencement or the last decade only
one line oi ranroad uad been completed between tide
water and the great interior basins of the country, th
pro ui ts of which now por.orm so important a part iu our
iniei ual and loreign iomine.ee Even this line, formed
by tile sfver.il links that now compose the New York
Central road, was restricted in the carriage of weight,
ovcapt on the payment of oaunl toils in addition to other
charges for transportation, which restriction amounted,
to a virtual prohibit. >u. The co-muero* resulting from
our railroads oon-equeutly has been, with comparatively
slight exceptions, a creation of the last dec ide.
The line next >pe led, and c .unectiug the Western sys
tem of lakea auu rivers with tidewater, whs thai extend
ing from Boston io ugdeiihburg, com-josed of distinct
links, the last of which was omup.etod during 1850 The
third was tbe New 1 o;k and Erie, which was opened ->u
iba ??d o! April, 1851. the lourth, in geographical order,
was the i'ennsylr uriu, which wa3 completed in 1852,
although its nioui.tap. division was not opeued till 1851 ?
Previous to this time its summit won overcome by a se
ries of inclined p.a..o-<, with stationary engines, con
directed by lue ftia.e. The llfth great line, the l.alliuiore
und Ohio, was opened, in 1851, still further south. Tbe
Tennessee river, a tributary of the Mississippi, was
reached, iu 1850, by the Western aud Atlantic ltailruad
of Georgia, an-, th Mississippi itself by the Mem; his and
Oi..rle.-ton Raiirmd, in lHoU. In the extreme North the
Atlantis and St. Laereuce, now known as the Grand
Ti unk, was completed early in 1853. In 1858 the Virgi
nia system was extended io a connection with the Mom
phis and < h&rieslou and with the Nashville and Ciiaiu
nooga railroads.
The eight great woiks named, connecting the Interior
with the seaboard, are tho trunks or base lines upon
which is oreclod the vast system that now overspreads
tho whole country. Thoy serve as outlets to the Inte
rim for its products, which would have little or no com
mercial value without Improved highways, the cost of
t anspnrtatlon over winch does not equal oue-teiith that
over ordinary roads. The works named, as.isied by the
Eric Canal, i ow aff?rd ample means for the expeditious
and cheap transportation of produce seeking Eastern mar
kets, and could, without being overtaxed, transport the
entire surplus pro !ucis of the interior.
Previous to 1850 by far the greater portion of railroads
constructed were in the irtaies bordering the Atlantic,
and, us before remarked, were for tho urnst part isoiatoil
dues, whoso limited traffic- were ail>geti,er local. Up to
the date n.nned, the internal commerce of the country
was conducted almost entirely through water liqes, natu
ral aud artificial, and over or ,?ry highways. The
perlrd of the .settlement of Califotuia marks really the
ccmmenccmeiit of lire now era in the- physical progress
of the United states. The vast quantities of gol-l it pro
duced imparted new life and activity to every portion of
the I in-n, particularly tho Western Mates, the people of
which, at the commencement of 1850, were thoroughly
arou ed as to the value and importance of railroads.
Each prescutc-J groat facilities for the construction of
su>.h works, which promised to be aim-st equally pro
ductive. Enterprises were undertaken and speedily exe
cuted whieh have literally converted them into a net
work of lines, aud secured* their advantages to almost
evorv fuuuor and preutiycr.
The pruercu." or tlieje wk.^ In the ag;;regate, year by
year, will be seen i y the tabular Htnlot.. -nti at the close
of tlio report. The only important line opened iu the
West previous to lduO, was the-one from i-auku.-ky to
I juclnnati, l'Ttfli'il by the Mad Ilivrr and Little -lUtmi
pads but these pioneer works wore i u le, uns'tbsiau
fal str?icturtw compared with 'he nuisheu werks of the
present (lav, and wqje employed a!:n<st wholly in the
transit->ruition of pat.-.-tigoiS. Within the decade, tu
tuacc o; this one line, rahroatls hue beer, constructed
imliatmg fmm J-uk* Erie ami Michigan, striking the Mis
st.vjippi at tea and the Ohio at eight ..liferent points, and
serve as trunk Inns betw. en the two gn at nydrographtc
avstems o. too West. These trunk tines are cut every
tew miles by ero..- tiuea, which, iu the st ilt, east cf the

The great mass oi the people?n >>. tbo vvoaithy

were more deeply interested in this question now

plai; matter. Kentucky would give her men and maintain
hor p isitiou in tho Union, which secures to the people of all

cons.itutiou of the United States and of tiiis Stato. But
public meetings would nut accomplish this. Kach man,
ia his own soul, must resolve to do his part in what his
country may require to bo done. Kach man must pre

let him assist those who are. The time calls for action?
individual action; that each man in me community
should go to work and uso his power aud iulluouce to see

gagamenU.
,-ome interesting-details raached me this morning from
a icitable gentleman now with the expedition. His letter
is dated Camp 1'hlllips, eight uulou below South (spring
nvor. Ol' course you ku w where that is.
Col. Ritchie, with a part of his Indian regiment, In aM
live hundred men', ha l a light with u greatly superior
socesh lore# under Rains, no loss than one thousand four
hundred men. Tue rebels wore beaten and put to flight.
At the same time the Colonel oapturod a portion of their
baggage train and a large amount of cattle and horsoa.
Those are now tn rcir'e to this pest, and partes curleus la
the study of natural history will very soon barr an op
portunity to inspect them free of cost. There arc some
tine specimen* among the lot.
At the present t. me Col Ritchie lias with hlra three hun
dred Indians of Ills own regiment i^tho Second), and one
company of the sixth Kaotus Cavalry, under command at
Lieut. Thlliipe. They have over two hundred prisoners
captured iu battle. Among th< m Li a former citizen of
I eavenworth, c'ol. Clark* u. taken prL-oner at fhn battle
o: (.rand Banna. The Colonel (Cl-iYkson) has a body guard
of iwcnty live loyal Ibdiaus, whoso especial duty it is to
attend to his personal bou.th and g. e that he does not
stray beyond the lines and thereby get lost.
Col. Ritchie's Indian regiment is now full. The outre
complement of men have been mustered into the r .ales.
The appii stioas continue as strong as ever; over Ova
Hundred Indians hare personally asked to be received
into his coiiimaml siuce the regiment has been made up.
My correspondent says ol this body of troops, 'M'.vcry
body who has reon tb"m is agreeably aurprLed." Aud
tlieir Colonel speaks iu glowing terms in regaid to them.
They make gootl soldiers, easiiy coutroiloU, and they con
