OUR RAly. ROAD.

J. w. Erwin, with corps Of assistants, has
just completed thorough examination and sur
vey of two routes from this place to the State
line, in the direction Of Eaton. Mr.. Erwin will
furnish the estimates in few days, when it il
he ped that all doubters will be convinced Of the
prac;icabilty of the route and the full ability Of
those interested not only to make the road TO
the State line, but to Eaton. 1t is thought d
route has been found whereby the road be
made for less than $4,000 per mile; while the
estimate on the route surveyed by Mr. Forrer
was about $4,000 per mile for the grading and
inclination Of so feet to the mile, aud Mr.. For
rer's 46.
SO soon as Mr. Erwin's estimates are received
they will be published, when it is hoped our cit-
will take hold of the matter in earnest, and
with determination to prosecute it with zeal,
worthy its Importance The road from Cincin
natl to Hamilton is in progress Of construction
the road from Hamilton to Eaton Will be con-
tracted for in the Spring. and why may not
act simultaneously with those companies 1t
should--it must be done.
We have noticed in the Dayton Transcript,
that the Directors Of the Dayton and Western
Road have passed a resolution, by a vote Of s to
;, adopting the northe rn route for their road
They have done this, it appears to us, pre- nature
ly, as they will find, when they shall have made
a thorough examination of the adopted route,
that it is almost impracticabio, and that a much
cheaper and better route can be found south of
it. They have also acted without consultation
with the Directors Of the company west of the
State line. Our people are anxious for the con-
struction Of road to Dayton, but they wish the
cheapest and best route. While the " ish to e.
cure the location Of the great Central Road thro'
their city. they equally anxious to have a
road to the Queen City. This they will have,
and hope our Dayton friends will meet them at
some practicable point at near Eaton
Now is the time of consultation, concessions,
activity, and digging into the work Let all
d difficulties be settled during the winter. and
when spring shall open let the work commence
IN earnest.
The route from Eaton to the State line is TO
be surveyed in n short time. All who have
travelled over the country between those points,
know it to be almost level, and the expense of
constructing a road there will be but half what
it will cos. west Of the State line this place.

RICHMOND.

The improvements and business OF city,
were never more substantial and prosperous than
at present. All classes of society are indusir-
ousiy engaged. Mechanics and laborers have
plenty To do. Merchants find sales for their
goods at reasonable profits. But, notwithstand-
ing all this. confess that the business of the
city is far short Of wha, ii might and ought TO be,
and, of VIVA, the interests of this section OF the
country really require. Our population Is IN
creasing in greater ratio than the supply OF
buildings. We think fifty dwellings might be
rented within te days il they were TO he had.
Capitalists would do well to appropriate some OF
their funds to building purposes.
Several turnpike roads will be made TO Rich
mond during the next season One IS now being
constructed from here to Newport-the work IS
all under contract. The stock is also taken to
construct one from this place TO Williamsburg.
Operations this ROAD will commence early
next spring. Another road is in contemplation
from this place to Hillsborough. All Of these
works will no doubt be completed in short
time. The National Rood, when charter for
the section III this county is obtained, will in a
short time be put under contract also, there
will be 40 difficulty in getting the stock taken.
Thus shall have number of turnpike roads
ccnverging at this point from the several places
mentioned above, which will afford an oPportu-
nifty for the farmers to bring their produce to
market. Now, to make this the stopping point
for the farmers, and the great emporium OF bust
ness, it is necessary for US to have Rail Road to
Cincinnati Dayton. This matter is now un-
der conside ration, and we hope our citizens Will
see that it is carried forward.
