OSKALOOSA, KANSAS. SATURDAY, AUG 3I, 1861. 'oOTrtikucrnfa bjuLioads. lias demonstrated that in building railroads, the first object to be attained lo.kavt the track as near an air line as possible; and for these -reasons: I. They are lesa expensive to construct Vai ve me tew of 'track -a and machinery.

time. if proposed to make a road from averiworth city to Topeka, we shall vimyJ. iticao facts U) bear upon It. TWO routee are proposed one an air-line, 'the other by way of Lawrence and the 'i Raw river. The air-line will be about kQfifteen wiles the shorter of the two -i routes.

This fifteen miles is all savsd a distance ef sixty miles, the remain-0etfer of'the two' routes beinr; equal in distance ou each line. It will cost, 812.00.) per mile to eon-'- ttruct'the road on the most economical scale. Thaaverage coat of road much 'exceeds these figures. Sixty milea will Of this amount. then cost 8720,000.

A ii two-third, or will be required' to purchase the rails, spikes, cross-lies, pay freight, lay and ballast the track. Sow, if we admit that the of the two routes will be equal aUlat5 miles air-line, will equal sixty by tlie river which is allowing too adiaBacjh-against the hort route, we shall have a dear savin of fifteen miles of at 88,000 per mile, which "ets 8120,000. This much is saved cash to begin with. grading were equal mile for mile, the saving would be still greater, as follows: 60 miles 45 miles 8540,000 difference 8180.000. We believe this the correct difference but tomake the matter sure, we will accept 8120.000, as the basis to calculate w'shiBg to be within the bounds -sxifa all our estimates.

cost one thousand dollars per jniile anuually to keep the road in run- rder. The average in the United "States Is full 81.500 per mile. In this XiTPrticalar, then, we have a yearly sav- 815,000. This in thirty-six 6 years-amounts to 8540.000, the whole frd? le short 'line wad at 812.000 per mile. In 25 years the saving will be in ten years 8150,000.

It will thus be seen that this item Lrn alone will save the cost of the road in -thirty-six yean, without computing the interest on the mouey. But if we take The. half of this sum, 8270,000, and eoaut the interest at eight per cent, per irqawtiaaorwe shall have the sum of 8777, aa and a total amount of v' At the end of 25 years, "we have the net amount of 8562,500, .822,600 more tban the cost of the road (.45 miles at 812,000 per mile.) i3 At 'compound interest the saying would greater. Thus in 25 years the company saves I the ceet of the road dear, and will be worth that san and the principal and interest on 8120,000, the amount saved cash at tlie oalset.for the same period wore tban they would by the other route. The-iutaratton 8120,000 for JSears at eight per cent, per annum I'00' AA and have 358.000.

Add to this tie 8562,590 we liave 8920.500. To this '-WMMit be added tlie interest on 8358,000 i lalftlie' time for compound interest, i.wliiijli4iu a half yeara wiH double the sum, giviug as $360,020 to Hw atheT.Cwmiaga grand total of -i 273.620. Th kterMtoa Erai itm win temljr awall this to cLria oaik at the end of 2 vc. a the fraitt of makug a straight at a croaked road bin. tqiM to this mast be still added the of 'wear and tear of -machinery which will We aa item of bo inconsider abk amouat.

figures look form idabla, batjtlieyare wilbis the bounds, one will find who gives th atlenlion. By tliese 4iraas the cosapuy wul be 8 1,530, 000 richer tlM-y if ill frwrn basis Let as Jtra saosaeat look at the matter from sS oixty mites tjjjej. at, eight, per ceBt. for 9 it jy1 lue imP9 -tnieresi. wm ue f8J 440,000, and tlte amouat 52,100, nJOUQ.

Forty-five miles of road cost interest 25 years amount, doubled for compound interest $3,240,000. Cost of running 25 years, $1,125,000, doubled for compound interest, total, difference in favor of short line $1,930,000. Thus it will be seen that at the end of 25 years, the company will be better off by making an air-line than a curved one. Add to this the wear and tear, and we may put the amount dowu is round numbers at too millions of dollars or enough to build the road (45 miles) more than three times.

These three phases will show the saving in every In principal alone the cost of the road is saved in 36 years. A million and a half is saved in 25 years on the inside basis of savings alone. On a square basis of contrast juf expense, ibe saving in S3-years is two millions of dollars. Half this amount wooW be handsome fortune for the It may be claimed that the toad would do enough more business by taking the circuit to balance the amount saved in distance. This is a mistake.

Business seeks the road. It is therefore, fully for the road to go out of the way for the business that will come to it ay, hunt after it on a straight line. It -experience has proved any thing, it is the. lolly ot having through, or trunk lines of railroad to go out of the way to gain a local point. All that the company saves is, consequently clcau GAIJJ.

But there is yet another point. Greater speed can be attained with safety on straight than on curved lines, which is no small item. But if we take merely the distance, we shall find a great econ omy of time. If two passenger trains run dnily each way, we have four trains passing the road. If the 60 miles are ran in three will be ran in two hours and a quarter.

Three hours will be saved every day by the four traius, or, excluding Sundays, over serenty-eight days of twelve hours to the day 'will be saved to each hand ou the train for study or personal ase. Then suppose that each train carried fifty passengers.or two hundred during the day, and each lost three-quarter of an hour this will make 150 hours lost lime daily.or during the year, San- days excepted, 46,750 hours, or 3,896 days of 12 hours in length, which is over twelve years of time No small item. We shall refer to this subject again. That "Secesh" Letter. the benefit of his constitents, as well as those who may say he did aol represent them in the late State Legislate we to-day publish a letter written by the Bon.

Andrew Jackson Francis, who claims the honor of having voted for Mathias and Siringfellow for United States Senators. We have been informed that the Hon. Andrew Jack-sou's friend and fraterntl brother, Leb-bent fitidall, is at present in the rebel ranks in Missouri, endeavoring to reinstate C. Fox Jackson as Gov ernor of that State. While the Hon.

Andrew Jackson Francis claims at borne to be a Union man, when writing to his fraternal friend, Lebbeus Pindall, he puts himself down as a "Southern man ami a secessionist." Hot tliea tins is in perfect keeping with the well known character ot the Rev. Andrew Francis, M. for he pretends to be a preacher, a doctor, a lawyer, a printer, a Master Mson and a member of the State Legislature. And within our knowledge of the Hon. Andrew Jackson Francis he has been pro-slavery maa.

and in 1856. testifi ed before the Congressional luvesliga ing Committee against the free State party; tiaae Umb he represented biamli aa a fraa-ttata aun; then a Democrat, and on the tth of April last he was a "aoalhern man aud a secessionist." He dated his letter in the "Lsgisla live Hall, Topeka, Kansas," on the 9th day of April, 1861, and was notgoiBg to rc-tnrn to Osawkee till "to-morrow," which would have been the 10th; but some way or other, the post mark on the envolopejhows that the letter was mailed at Osawkee on the 9th of April, tbeaaaie.day the Hon. Andrew Jaek-oa wrote: ii.in ilia seat in the Legislative Hall ia Topeka. This is bat' sKght discrepancy, however, which, doubt, the Hon. Andrew Jackson can very eisily explain, We know but little about LA.

Town-send, bat bald him- responsible for the assertions he. ha seen fit to make about the Hon; Mr. Fraud; but we have the original letter written by Ho; Andrew Jackson Francis, to his fraternal friend, Lebbeae Piudali, we hare the-assurance front-the Post Master at Osawkee Uwt the registry in'hia offiee coincido-v with, the postmark on the envelope. Any resjioiisible. person wishing to examine the original letter can do so by calling at our office aiid making his desire known.

It is perhaps proper.for the informal tion of those who are not acquainted With the fact, we should state that Andrew, Jackson Francis has. never been a member of the Stale -Territorial Legislature, and the probability is that he ouly wrote so to curry favor with "tfie ii The Mass Meeting. The Mass Meeting last Thursday was mucu oetier atienueu man our township meetings usually are. Democrat and Republicans, pro-slavery and free-state men the -people, without distinction of party, came up together, and their action was harmonious and unanimous. A report of the proceedings of the" meeting, with the resolu tions adopted, appear in another column of this paper.

Let traitors read, and govern themselves accordingly. The mass of the people of towusbip are unconditional Union men, and from such, rebels need expect no particular favors. All persons who wish to be understood as being in favor of sustaining the government in its efforts to suppress rebellion, should come forward and enroll their names on or before, the lOilt day of September. This gives every mun sufficient time to show to the people what posi-'ion he occupies, and it is to be hoped no oue will full to demonstrate, that lie is. unconditionally for the niniiiienance of the government.

Tnc Atiaxtic Moktiilt for September has been received. This number contains an elaborate paper entitled "TheShakspeare which will bo found exceedingly interesting.
