THE CENTRAL OHIO RAIL ROAD.

The GAINESVILLE papers. are awakening inter
est in the subject OF the rail road IN Mus
kipcum county, with,,the view OF trying the
vote Of the people OF GAINESVILLE and the coun-
" of Muskingum, on the subscription to the
stock they are authorized by the Legislature
TO subscribe. The whole amount is but 80
thousand dollars, but that is something, and
will all help: we have no doubt but that the
people will vote 10. subscnbe that much or
double, with great unanimity. They certain
" will if they reflect that unless this road is
made Eastern Ohio will be farther from a mar
ket than Springfield or Aenia, and the trade
and travel mustbe carried through the San
dusky works. Thai route TO New York will
soon be completed, and there is no tint TO
lose either by the friends Of the Ohio Central
Rail Road, or Baltimore Rail Road.
Wheeling and GAINESVILLE, and the counties
and towns between, ought 20 be active, ought
to be doing, ought TO think OF nothing else.
