Raj. ROAD.

| At recent meeting Of the directors of the
Lawrenceburg and Indianapolis Rail Road Com
PAW. are informed that resolutions were d
dop,ed pledgng the Company not to call for pay
ment on Stock 10 greater amount than 50 pei
share in any six months. And that the WORK
should be commenced in each county at the same
time. and the stock subscribed therein. devoted
in the first place to constructing the road thro
such county, far might be found practicable
and expedient
This decision was made. we understand. ,,nde
the impression that very large number of sub
scribers on the line, are DESTROYS of becoming
contractors. and will in very short time pay up
their whole stock. ifthe work is going on in their
neiehborhood. simultaneously with the calls
made upon them for payments; and the directors
are confident that, in this way, the whole work
will be done much sooner than any other.
The information before the board showed, that
over $50 shares had been taken in Shelby county,
300 in Decatur county, and between and 300
in this COMMUNICATING in all about 1000 shares;
three fourths of which have been subscribed for
in the three past weeks We are assured that
the subscription in Shelby and Decatur will not
stop short of 500.
1.-THE counties of Dearborn and Marion will do
their duty, we may consider the work as ensured l.;
and as no counties are so deeply Interested, or
more able we cannot entertalna doubt OF success.
The directors will meet at this place on the 4th
Monday of this month, when a report will be re-
ceived from a committee, which in the intermc-
date time will visit the Lexington Road and col
lect information. This meeting will be highly
important one and if the subscriptions in this
county should come in handsomely, by that time,
decisive measures may be taken by the board, and
much be yet done the present season.

clude his speech, as he expected to do, IN eonse'
ouence of so much time being taken up with read
ING MIR. Taney's replies to the calls for lnforma'

and which Mr.. Forsyth courteOusiy insisted up

ciaI pleading. s'The Senate" said Mr. Ciay'
