Genilemsm: prominent matter among
us Queen Citysns this week.-Mrs. thing talked
about, written about, and speechifed about-is
the projected railway from Cincinnati to 81.
Louis. The bridging Of the distance between
the Mississippi and Ohio rivers at those two
points, by iron rails, has for a number Of years
been favorite scheme with many Of our eiti-
lens. The Daily Gszeite Of this city, indeed.
has at several periods advocated the measure
with great deal Of sarnestnsss. Pubic meet
ings have also been held, routes discussed, and
costs estimated. But still the project has all the
time been regarded as matter Of the future
rather than Of the present..
But now the thing is changing. The past sum
mer a sum Of money sufficient to defray the ex-
penses Of preliminary survey, was subscribed
in st. Louis, at Vincennes, and in Cincinnati;
and few weeks since, Professor o. VI. Mitch
ell. who made the original survey for the route
Of the Little Miami Railroad, was commission
ed TO form a corps Of assistants and survey a
route for the Mississippi and Ohio Railroad,
starting from Cincinnati, making Lawrence
burgh, and Vineennes, in Indiana. points in the
line, and coming out at So. Louis.
Mr.. NJ. undertook the task. and acc omplshed
il with great expedition, notwithstanding the
recent impsdiments of heavy rains, high waters,
sleets, SHOWS, &C. He returned from the CON-
plstion Of the survey few days ago, and on
Monday evening met a large number Of the
friends Of the enterprise in the hall Of the Mer-
chants Exchange, to give some account Of what
he had seen and DONE He represents the route
as being the most favorable for the construction
Of good railroad, Of any ever yet surveyed in
the United States. and says that the entire work,
$50 miles in length, can be built for sum not
much, if any, exceeding 100000. He is
well acquainted with the commercial statistics
Of Cincinnati and St. Louis; and from these, and
what he saw and heard as to the productive ca
Pseity Of the country lying along the entire
route. he is firm in the expression Of the opin-
ion, that when the road shall be completed il will
yield from Is to Is per cent. per annum upon
the investment.
Mr.. Mitchell's report and favorable views,

meeting Of Monday evening mas meeting was
provided for, which will take place in the large
