Charter from the Legislatures of Kentucky
and Tennessee, we are pleased 10 learn that
strong endeavors are now being made 10

region. Stock Books will be opened at Hen

it Is understood among the citizens, that if
$3.50 600 is subscribed 10 run the road through
Henderson county. this start will give the
Rodd such ali impetus as TO carry it through.
1t has been proposed that county bonds to The
amount of 100000, and city bonds to the
same amount, be issued. and the residue. or
else $iO0C00 be made up by private sub
scriptions. This would BE- a small amount for
the citizens OF so wealthy county as Hen
dersOn TO subscribe, Tor so great an object
There is much capital in that county, and
although ii is doubtless principally employed
otherwise. yet we think cilIzels will study
their own pecuniary interests by Iu>hiag on
this Road, which can oaIy be done by Il iib
ertl investment of capital. Hopkins county,
if the people be appealed to ia the proper
manner, and they Ihns be made t. feel the
importance Of the Road to them, will doubt
less perform her share. Her vast mineral
resources lis she is almost Il CONTINUOUS coal
mine, will be made available. The natural
wealth for which that county is almost re-
markabe, will be opened to the river, and
prove source OF private and public adj
vantage. Indeed, the country traversed by
this Railroad, running through Hopkinsville,

zens of Henderson county want any induce

study the nature of that section of country
with which this Railroad will bring them in
connection. Or let them 90 further, and
contemplate the ultimate stretch of the Rail
road, which will unite them TO the extreme
Southern cities, and gave them command OF
markets now unavailable. There are many
things they may well consider, before the real
Importance Of this Railroad can be appre-
ciated. If this Importance be appreciated, we
shall soon hear ofthe proper amount OF stock
being taken to run this great Improvement
through Henderson county.
