CiNCtNNATt & ZANEsvlILE RAILROAD
-Meetiagia CircleUMle. The meeting ui
the Incorporators Of the Cincinnati, Will
minglon and GAINESVILLE Railroad. in Cir
clevile, on yesterday, Yves we lean large
Iy attended aud characterized with much
Enthusiasm. They resolved to accept
the provisions of the charter and appoint
ed persons To open books for SubScrip'
tion at several places along the route by
the second Monday Of March next. An
other meeting is called for the third Mon
day Of April next, at which time, if a sui-
fcient amount of stock is subscribed,
President and Directors for the company
will be chosen. This. we learn. is the
principal business which came before tho
meeting. All the counties along the route
were fully represented, with the excep-
tion of Hamilton.
We learn verbally that the bill to au.
lhorize the Commissioners Of Plckawsy
county to subscribe 5000 900 to the stock
ofthe Road, has passed the lower House
by vote of3l to 34,and has consequent
ly become law. The people will vote
in favor of it. The city of Zanesvile
and the citizens thereof, it is said, will
subscribe 500, 900, the county Of Mus.
kingum another $lG0. 900, and it is highly
probable that $4,000 can be depended
upon from other sources in that county,
making up our original estimate Of $3.50.
900 for Muskingum. She has already
subscribed largely to what is termed the
Central Ohio Railroad. The county OF
Perry gives assurances that she will do
all that can be reasonably expected of
her. Pickaway will raise in all sufficient
to build her part of the road, and Fay
elite and Clinton will do like wise. In a
word, the road can be constructed 10 the
borders Of Fairfield east and west,
Fairfield therefore is called upon to
Construct the road through her own bur-
ders. She can du it, but will it be done
She has capital and credit sufficient to
build twn such roads, will it in this case
be forthcoming aud applied ia the right
directiunl We shall not for moment
doubt that her people at once. when cal
led upon, will signify their willingness t"
fill up the gap which will be left ia their
own couuty. The supplemental bill
which permits the people to say whether
the Commissioners shall subscribe III
their behalf The sum Of $4,000 tu The
st ok of the road, has not passed the
Legislature, but we suppose that body
will hardly refuse a request of this char
acter. Should then the people vote this
amount, the remainder Of the stock re-
quired to construct our share of the road
will be takeuby individuals and thus this
great enterprize will not be stopped from
waut of means. Fairfield county is deep
Iy Interested in the completion Of the
road. Her natural resources cannot a lone
make her wealthy aud populous, unles'
these are developed by the energy ant
enterprize vfher citizens. We have thei
high aud noble duty to perform, no
only for ourselves, but for those who art
to come after US. To give To these a good
practical education, and then the mean
to carve out for themselves wealth all,
prosperity is much better than 10 leave
to them tnat which in nine cases out u
ten they will squander, as the history o
such cases fully proves. 1t is then th'
part of wisdom to labor in such m II
ner and expepd our surplus capital il
such way as wi prove to be real ad
vantage to a community.
