G. W. HAWES' INDIANA STATE
INDIANA CENTRAL RAILWAX.
The Indiana Central Railway proper, is 72} miles long, extending from Indianapo- lis to the State line, dividing Irdiana and Ohio near New Paris, in the latter State, and connecting at the State line with the Dayton and Western Railroad, extending to Dayton, Ohio, making the distance between Indianapolis and Dayton 108 miles. The line is nearly a straight one, having less than four miles of curvature in Indiana, and runs nearly east and west, and nearly throughout its whole length within fifty rods of the old National Road, and through the very best improved portion of the State, in the counties of Marion, Hancock, Henry and Wayne; and at once place the line runs for a distance of about six miles on the line dividing the counties of Rush, on one side, and Hancock and Henry on the other.
At Richmond the line connects with the Cincinnati, Hamilton, Eaton and Richmond Railroad, affording an outlet to Cincinnati through an old settled, highly improved, and among the most fertile valleys in Ohio.
The lines through to Dayton and Cincinnati are very substantially constructed, well ballasted, smooth and comfortable to travel over, and the succession of broad, fertile fields, neat farm-houses, and other rural improvements, prosperous towns and cities. with large manufacturing establishments, render this route the most attractive of any in the State. The through business in passengers and freight is large and increas- ing; and the local business, owing to the fertility of the soil, high state of improve- ments, and dense rural, village and city population, is the best in the State.

UNION RAILWAY CO., INDIANAPOLIS.
The Union Railway Company was organized in 1850, and the depot was finished for the reception of the trains in the fall of 1853. The plan originated with John Brough and O. H. Smith, Esqs., and was carried into operation by the Madison, the Bellefontaine, and the Terre Haute Railroad Companies. It consists of a common trunk for all the Railroads centering in Indianapolis, with a passenger depot erected upon it, in which the passengers from all the Roads enter and leave the cars, and where ex- changes of cars are made without cost, for the passengers and baggage.

MICHIGAN CENTRAL RAILROAD.
The Michigan Central Railroad, extending from Detroit to Chicago, forms one of the great connecting links of communication between the east and the west. It con- nects at Detroit with the Great Western (Canada) Railway; and this, with New York Central and the New York and Erie Railroad at Niagara Falls, makes it-one of our great thoroughfares to the Atlantic seaboard. The wire suspension bridge at Niagara Falls is one of the greatest triumphs of engineering; indeed, it is in reality one of the wonders of the world. At Hamilton, Canada, the Great Western connects with the Grand Trunk Railway, giving a direct railway communication with Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, and Portland, in the State of Maine. The Michigan Central also connects with the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad; at Michigan City with the New Albany and Salem Railroad; at Calumet with the Illinois Central Railroad; and at Chicago with all roads running to Milwaukee, Madison, Galena, Dubuque, Rock Island, Davenport, Iowa City. Quincy, St. Louis, Cairo, and all places west, northwest, and southwest. It has a branch, commencing at Lake, (45 miles southeast of Chi- cago, ) and running to Joliet, where it connects with the Alton and St. Louis Railroad.
