"The President Of the Belprc and Cincinnati

Of the directors, have eiieetesl an arrangement
in this city for the sale of 100000 of the bonds
Of Ross county issGed in aid of the above work
The county III Ross Is one of the richest in Ohio,
and its bonds equally good as the securities
OF the state"
We belive not more than S225,000 of
stock is yet to be taken by individuals, to
bring in the entire 3-5 Of the Capital stock
Of the Virginia and Tennessee Rail Road,
for which the State is bound to subscribe.
Can any man believe that there would be
the least difficulty, in selling the Bonds OF
Montgomery, Pulaski. Wythe, Smith,
Washington, Scott, Lee, Russell, Floyd,
Grayson and Carroll, in the New York
market for three or four hundred thou
sand dollars, when the capital thus procur-
ed was to be expended in the construction
Of section Of the shortest line Of Railway
between New York, and all the Valley of
the Mississippi, below the mouth Of the
Ohio riverl No one will question it who
knows any thing Of the present state of the
money market, in that great reservoir of
capital.
