Wayne Turnpike Company.

Books for the subscription of stock in this road
have been opened in several Of the towns in this
county on the line of the national road Su.ii-
cient stock has been taken to enable the compa-
ny TO organize and commence operations; but
much more stock is wanted to complete the work
II IS matter Of surprise that the full amount
necessary has not been taken, as the charter is
most liberal one-granting to the company all
the work which has been done by the general
governrnent-ali the bridges, materials on the
ground, &c, to the exclusive use and profit of
the company. The road has been graded al
most entirely through the county, several expen-
sive bridges built. and it possibly cost one
fourth much TO complete the road as has al
ready been expended on it. The tariff of tolls
as laid down in the charter are about the same
charged on other Turnpikes; but there is No re-
striction as to the amount Of per cent which NAV
be made by the company. The road is the great
thoroughfare Of the State, and the travel upon il
will be greatly increased when the road shall
have been completed. The stock WILL and must
be very profitable y ieidiug not less than from
20 to % percent. Those who have capital could
not, in our opinion, make a more profitable in
vestnent.
The granting Of this charter, and the immense
amount Of property it conveys to those who may
take hold Of it is a munificent gift, and if the
stock were taken by the Commissioners of the
county on behalf of the people, it would be a
source OF great revenue; but public works
are better managed and made more profitable in
the hands of private Individuals it is to be hoped
the stock will be taken in few DAYS, and the
work commenced at the earliest practicable mo-

We invite the attention OF our citizens
TO the advertisement Of the Board of Di-
rectors Of the Richmond and Miami Rail
Road, published in another column, giving
notice of the opening of Books for the
subscription of stock in said road. The
report Of the Engineer, published in our
last paper, has convinced many Of our
citizens that it is entirely within the ability
of those interested to make the work.
When $4,000 shall have been subscribed
the work will be commenced and prose-
cuteG TO q Simultaneous completion with
the Eaton and Hamilton, and the Hamil-
ton and Cincinnati Rail Roads. Esti-
mates &c. are now being made by the
Engineer on Is miles Of the Eaton road,
and so much will be let to contractors
early in the spring. A large portion of
the Hamilton road is already graded, and
the remainder will be finished the coming
season. Fourteen miles Of the Dayton
and Western road will be put under con-
tract at an early day, and it is to be hoped
will be extended to Eaton by the time we
shall be able to complete ours TO that
point
The people of this place and vicinity
must make the road to Eaton if made at
all. We have heretofore depended upon
others to assist US, hence our disappoint-
mcn,s. All must be convinced that it is
vain to look elsewhere for capital. We
have the ability to make this road-then
let it be done. Let every one interested,
and who is not. put his hands to the work.
Let there be no dissensions-but by an
united effort, let US all work together and
success will be the result.
1t is said that Cincinnati has determined
to make the road from that city to St. Louis
by a more southern route. 1t is true her
citizens have manifested laudable zeal
for the Vincennes route. and have been
responded to by the citizens Of St. Louis.
But it should be remembered that neither
company have obtained the right Of way
through Illinois. and in all probability will
not for some years to come. and in the
mean time with the proper energy We may
complete the road through the entire
breadth Of this State. and every mile OF it
which may be completed will command
an immense freight and travel-running
as it will through rich and productive
country. On the other hand the southern
route will not be commenced until the
right of way is obtained, as road through
this State on that route would pass through
a comparatively poor country-having but
little advantage Of freigh, and travel. On
the central route. the stock would be pro-
fitable If never completed to St. Louis.
And it il q fact, we are informed. that q
large proportion Of the people of tina, city
prefer this route, as it will be in more
direct line 10 the eastern cities.
