ting at the court house in Carrolton on
Saturday the 9Th day Of June nert,

les, merchants, traders and business men, generally
Of Carroll HARRISON and jefferson countless are call

RAILROAD MEETING.

We earnestly solicit the attention OF our read
er, snd of the public generally, TO the call, pub
lisbed in ,o.day's paper, for meeting, to be hol
den in this place on Saturday, the 5ih day oI
Juns next, 10 adopt measures preparatory to con-
.,rue,inq a railroad from CarroIIIon to the most
convenient and practicable point on the Sandy
and Beaver Canal. A connecting link between
this place and The Canal would prove Of incalcu'
liable value, not only to the people Of our town,
but TO the extensive farming region south, east,
and north Of us, the citzens Of which now look
10 the Canal as the chief outlet for their produce
The length of The road will be only ten OF twelve
miles, and the region of country through which
il is designed 10 pass isso well adapted to the Pur'
pose, ,ha, the cost of its construction will be but
rihe compared with the vast benefits that will
result from the completion Of such a work. II
will place market somuch nearer the door ofIhe
farmer residing east of this place, who now, for
the want of such a market, is compelled TO haul
his grain to the Canal. This consideration, Of it.
self, is Of sufficient importance to induce the far
ming portion of the community to embark in the
enterprise with activity and zeal. But when we
take into consideration the beneficial results OF
the increase and rivalry in business, that will fol-
low as the natural offspring of such an Improve
ment, we cannotsee any excuse that can be urged
against the speedy completion Of the work. A
charter has already been obtained, and all that
now remains to be done, is the raising of funds,
and the undertaking and accomplishment of the
work. Can this be dOnel If its paramount i'm.
portance to the people of this place, and to the
entire surrounding, and much of the remote coun.
iry, is taken into due consideration, This will not
long remain doubtful question.

The PITTsBrRG4 SLAVE CAsE.-Judge Lowrie
discharged the owner ofIhe slave, notice OF
whose arrest we copied some days ago from the
Pittsburgh Gazette, on the ground that there had
been no unreasonable rotous seizure, and that
the disturbance originated with the slave. The
cons,ilujionaIily Of the STATE law was not decided
Oh.
The Pittsburgh Journal in noticing the matter
says-"aiier the experience Of the last iew days,
we think it may be fairly concluded that if a slave
once escapes TO Pennsylvania, his recovery Is
out Of The question"
