My Dear Sir IL received only the day before
yesterday, In consequence of its being addressed 10
Lindsays Store instead Of Gotham your letter Of 9Th
inst. am very much indebted to you for the sew
eral interesting documents you sent In regard TO
the Southwestern rail road, particularly those which
relate to the wonderful and multiplied mineral riches
of the noble region through which this improvement
is to be conducted, Ii is the true Ell Dorado of our
continent of far worth, in every Just practical
view than all the buried unbured gold Of Califor-
mia. To bring into activity and circulation The
boundless natural wealth of that region, would repay
more than tenfold, the cost Of The improvement.
But, In every point of view regard it, and have
done so, for more than twenty years, the great
Improvement Of Virginia, offering her the rich boon
Of the trade and navel Of The whole southwest almost
without rival. Were l member Of the Legisla-
ture 1t should have my vote and ardent support; ;
and as private citizen Of the State give II my
warmes wishest for its liberal patronage BY the pub
lie authorities and Its early and successful compile
ton. Believe me, my dear sir,
With great respect,
Your friend and obi serv't.

That the great railway projected between ST. Louis

that II number Of enerprsing citizens, connected
with the river interest, have il In contemplation 10

each port every day
In view OF the fact, that the commercial and social
intercourse between Cincinnati and ST. Louis is in
creasng every year, this enterprise Is one that
nlends Itself promptly TO public attention, and will
present strong claims TO general patronage. Tho

These several boats we believe, are not surpassed
in speed and accommodations, BY any boats Of their
class upon the Western waters They therefore hold
two things much insisted upon, by our go.ahead,
well-todo people, as any other two that can be
named. But with these good qualities they combine
them we mean safety, of which the best assurance
is given In the strength Of the boats and the expert
of the officers generally that attached to
them.
1t is expected that this line will go into operation
on the clear opening Of navigation. As the winter
