Little and petty railroads that were not known afew years sin@e are consolidated into long through routes for the purpose of reaching the gteater demands of internal commerce upon them, and that they may more successfully compete with rival lines for the growing traffic in upon them. ‘The Southern States, seeing that there is} no more hope for the restoration of wornout end impracticable theories, which the times have out run, are’about to turn their to the opening’ offered to them in every direction. That. they present splendid openings for the investment of capital is best shown by the gentleman from whose speech we have already quoted. He has, lately pur- a very large estate in.
