The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Pennsylvania Central Railroad, Erie Railway of New York, the Boston and Albany, and New York Central Railroads, and the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, and their connections, form the first great links in this Continental Line of Travel, extending from the Atlantic to chicago, st. Louis and omaha, and from thence, crossing the Rocky Mountains, to the Pacific Ocean. The recent completion of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, extending Westward to denver, Colorado, forms another great Through Route of Travel.
From the principal Seaports on both Oceans, Lines of Steamers run to Europe on the East, and Asia on the West, thus encircling the World as with a band of iron - carrying civilization and commerce to every part of the inhabitable globe. These modes of communication, in connection with Ocean Lines of Telegraph, form the most important era in the World's history, and will, no doubt, tend to civilize and benefit the Whole human family.
