ortion of the immense number and magnitude of railroads in this country has been made between 1860 and 1860, and almost altogether between 1850 and 1857. To show this clearly and strikingly, we will present the length of railroads in each State. In each of the years 1850 and 1860, as near as we can ascertain them.
