Mobile Rightly in llnc Field.

As we have often predicted, the Mo- bile & Ohio Rail Road will be completed. We have been more confirmed in this belief in noticing the extensive amount o! Stock Subscribed in Noble on the first day of opening the books for Subscription in that city. In speaking of this laudble enterprise the Herald otthe 3d inst says :
 "fhe amount of subscriptions yesterday Qhe first day) is about $l20,0OO. This is a capital beginning, and promises admi- ra5,y tor the success of the work.
 We have heard ofno books being open. ed in the interior. We are sure large amount might be obtained in this way. Indeed, we know several gentlemen who are eager to take stock, and who would doubtless, if an oportunty were offered. exert themselves to obtain subscriptions from their neighbors.
 As an evidence of the disposition abroad in regard to the enterprise, we learn that an iron master of New York is desirous of taking Ssl0,000 worth of stock, if he can pay for it in railroad iron at the low est market price.
 To-day. we trust, the citizens will come up bravelyt to the work--property-holders particularly. They are the most deeply interested in it's success, and they are justly expected to lead in it. Whether means have been taken to enlist non-res- ident property holders we are not inform ed but it seems to be so obviously their interest to aid in the enterprise, that we have no doubt large sums might be ob- ained from them.
 P.s. We learn that the Firemen's In. surance Company yesterday evening au- thonzed subscription of $l0,000."
 Thus has Mobile set in motion the great project of the vast wealth of a vast region of rich Country developing it's re- sources. We say well done Mobile, and that other sections of the State of Ala bama follow suit. We do hope that the spirit and determination evinced on the occasion of the opening ofthe subscription Books will be carried out, and that no relaxation of energy will ever be expert enced. In consequence of the State of the times, it would seem that prospects ot inter nal improvement projects would be any thing but fatering. This however, we hope, will not be any reason for the sure performance of the ultimate completion of the Mobile and Ohio Road Now that that city has set a precedent we are san- guine that capitalist in all sections of the Union will eagerly embrace the oportuni- ty of early investing in stocks. The b. cality of Mobile taken in connection with the section of country throughout which this road is contemplated to pass, we think are sufficient inducements them- selves for the grounds of sanguin be- lief that its completion will be soon, and n ready vi cid of a good per cent, to the fortunate individual stock holders.
