' ' - . which, they pnes'u a subject grortby of ffior general and thorough investigation than it has ever yet. rereived. The great increase of trade already derived from ur roilroae, andits'gYent adeaatages in mawy different ways Irl enhancing the valuAofrcnl estate und nl capital invested in merchandise mid transportation, cnttaing an immense addition of travel through this route, and its benefi cial effect on the generul prosperity are so manifest and apparent to till aa to require no recapitulation. We wera promised lonif since, some statistics, and would still be glad to receive them from any one disposed to take iho trouble they would surprise an well as iqteret. It would probably be a matter of some difficulty lo arrive at anything more than a general estimate, bnt even this, if reached with dqe care, would be of value. The subject ha engaged in Tenneiwcf , in connection with the Naahvtlle Chattanooga railroad, and the increased vtluo which its construction, even in its incomplete state, has given to property in the section through which it passes. A writer in the NasiiviJle Union, who seems conversant will, tfie facia, presents the following as the result of his in- qoines : " I have taken some pain to make up something like nn average ofthc present rier above the value two ymrt ago, and find it rarice In the country front one dollar per acre, in the mountain, to fta high aa fifty near- tttto Nashvrlle ; ane) tnat the lots adjoin ing the city have risen fully three hniidred dollars nn acre, and many of them more than that, und the lands out Irons three to ninety utile frotn Nashville have generally risen aud actual sales made at advances varying from five to fifteen dollars an acre. And the val ley lauds byood ibis point in the mountains have risen from three lo ten dollars per acre, ncur the .oad Hue. I have then determined that a fail and very low average rise on the lands ten miles each 'aide ol the railroad woud be five dollars an acre already, which is a gain to the laud holders ol Tennessee, and on the line of road, ol $64,000 per mile of road, eaual td over three times the rod ol the rond, which will not be ns much as $3. 000.000. fully equipped and under way. The nac in town property has been hi as great a proportion, at least $1,300,000, which added to the $,628)000, would make $11, 028.000. "The mountain land, the least valuable in the State, lying within ten or fifteen miles of the rnilrohd line, that would not, twenty years ago, eommand one cent per acre, is now ready sale at a dollar and upwards. These are facta worthy of consider :ion, particularly where there ia scarcely a land or eky property holder, who stock ia not al ready more than realiied to biro in the rise efais properly." A writer in the Baltimore American, m peaking of the. subject, presents the follow ing statement of the increase of populetrtl in some oi'thaf towna of MaesaehoseitH) since ranVoads were extended to them,- dorfng1 the five years be'ween 1S19 nnd.iSlS j, Roxbury 67 per cent, towell 8$ pr f enf. x Brookline50 per - 4 WWeeeter 39 pf. - Cnm bridge 33 pr.

The value of the property lost, gives but a poor idea of the amount of suffering caused. by the conflagration.

Their condition appeals strong ly' to the sympathies of onr citizens, ami we nre gratified to observe that a public meet ing is called for this evening at Madant ;ald well'st in the Third Muneipajity, to tnke mensares for their relief.
