Important Position of INDIANAPOLIS

Every day developes and more the importance
of the position of our growing city, central and
ing point of nearly all the great arteries of Railroad
muncaon in the Union. The route alluded to- in the fol-
lowing extract, will doubt be completed and will
give position a route from Charleston, S. c.,
and the South generally to lake Michigan termina ting
most likely in State instead of Chicago. We
believe it is now unalterably fixed that Indianapolis
will be point great central line of communication
between the East and West. We thankful to the
Cincinnati Gazette for keeping position promi-
nenty before the public, although occasionally, for the
purpose Of stimulating other works than those passing
through our city The Gazette says:
Our readers are familiar with the great rival lines Of
railway connecting the Ohio and Mississippi valies
with the Atlantic, which being rapidly extended
from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Richmond; but are they aware that line extending
from the cities Of Charleston and Savannah will
reach the Ohio river Louisville and then north far
as Chicagol

from Savannah Chattanooga 432 miles, is built and in
operation From Chattanooga to Nashville, 100 miles,

laid; from Nashville Louisville $50 miles, the road is
not undertaken but Louisville has subscribed $500 900

antied by Louisville. From Columbus to Indianapolis,
42 miles in operation; and from Indianapolis to Lafay

So that from Lafayette to Charleston, distance OF
900 miles the entire distance is either built build

were all closed. Services performed in the morning
at most of the places of religious worship.
Thu Congregations of the First and Second Presbyte-
ran Churches met at the House Of worship Of the former
which filed OVERLOOKING, listen discourse,
appropriate to the OCCASION from the Rev. JOHN c.
FLETCHER, in which he conrasted the condition of the
people of America with those of Europe and other for
eign countries
Mr. Fletcher is native of our city, and has
ed from visit to the cities of Rome Naples London and
the district of country which they located After
giving short description of these countries he proceed
ed to show that the great fault of the Reformers in their
secession from the Romsh Church, the effort that
was successfully made to unite Church and State which

of which have been disastrous to pure Christianity
He took the position that the religious liberty enjoyed by
the people Of the United States the greatest benefit
