line which caused so much trouble few months back,
and turned many passenger in other directions.
They also run line direct to Springfield, ILL., The
coaches are all entirely new, and furnished with the
best of teams and careful drivers The running time
from this city to St. Louis is so hours, being the
quickest and cheapest route to that place. We state

CINCINNATI AND ST. LOUIS RAILRoAD.-We are
glad to see that our Cincinnati friends appear TO be

great line of railroad that city with ST.

Burdsal, Meader and Mcssick committee to collect
information the subject. The character and quail

they apply themselves thoroughly the subject, we
may look for very interesting report. We hope if
they have not done So that the, will pass through our
State and for themselves. well collect facts,
which will be much more satisfactory than can be
obtained otherwise. What is Marion county doing in
this matter! Are we all so busy as not to have one

to our interests! Vgo will, or perhaps by this time
has, subscribed SlOO,OO0. Hendricks rolls up her
smooth.belled $4,000. From wealthy Putnam and
little Clay we have not heard; while east of this,
from what can learn, the work progresses rapidly
in the way Of subscriptions. That railroad, when
completed, will be of advantage to the State,
than all the canals in it, in opinion, least. Let
us all move with will, and it will be made.
