FAILURE OF THE SUsoUEHANNA COUNTY BANK.
This concern in pennsylvania, which has two or
three times before swaged downward" has,
according to New York authority, again gone by
the board. The notes were refused in Wall street
on the 23d ult., and the Post says the so called
Bank has stopped payment. Only about eighteen
months ago the community lost considerable by
the conoeFn-its notes, which were then much in
circulation in Baltimore, selling for Is cents and so
cents on the dollar 1t is surprising that it was ever
allowed to crawl into the least favor again. 1t

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com

Ohio River by June 1852. The Central
Ohio Company have funds already provid-
ed to insure the construction Of 60 OF the
145 miles between the Western terminus
of The Baltimore Road and Columbus; and
they haye the proff.r Of assistance which
will probably enable them to build their
whole line, by the period fixed for the com
pleiion OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. An efficient corps Of Engineers IS
now engaged in locating the line. From

Ohio. stock is subscribed and the Road
will be located and built as fast as the very
favorable nature Of the ground will admit.
From Springfield to Dayton. the prepare
tory work is about complete and the Road
will be laid in less than twelve months.
From Dayton towards indianapolis, two
lines are under way,--one by Greenville,
which will admit Of an easy junction with
the BclIfountaine and indianapolis Line,
the other to Richmond, on the direct
route to indianapolis.
From Richmond to indianapolis, the
work coming under the Charter Of the
Terre iIauie and Richmond Company,
will be built as soon as the connexIon
between indianapolis and Tcrre llaute is
perfected; which. as there arc already
thirty-two miles Of it nearly prepared for
the superstructurc, will probably be finish
ell in about Il wear. Contracts for the re-
,DainLer are to be let next month.
Summing together the progress made
upon all these portions Of the great line,
(Which may one day be consolidated. }
there will be, in all probability, within
three. OF at most, within four years, con-
tinuous Railway connexion from Terre
IIautc, in Indiana to Portland in Maine
a Grand Trunk Line Of fourteen hundred
miles in extent. This. to say nothing Of
the many branches radiating in all direc
tons. will be, at the time Of its completion,
one Of the greatest Railway interests in
the world.
Whatever indifference ST. Louis may
have heretofore manifested towards this
great enterprise, Cor rather aggregation Of
