THE CINcINNAFI & ZANEsvILLE Rail-
RoAD.-The Charter Of the pr"posed Road
from Cincinnati to GAINESVILLE has met
with more opposition than anticipated.
Whils this serves strongly to indicate the
great Importance Of the Road and to in.
fuse still greater determinati"n and ener
gS mid lis Friends, it also serves as a
Strohg reason why all those who aIe
Interested in it's construction should unit
odly put their shoulders To the wheel and
labor with all The might that is IN them
d push the work alJiig. See the letter
Of our Columbus correspondence giving a
graphic account of Tuesdays prnceed.
iDgs.
A letter from iriebd III New SaleH,
will also be found in tn days paper, Civ,
Ing sdhie practical suggestions which
of course will command c.hsi,ieiiralinn,
and some cheering intelligence from that
part Of the county. The proposed road
has awakened much interest all along its
route and we becnme mnre filly con
vinced each day that il eau be aud will
be constructed.
The direction the road will IKE Of
course depends much upon the practica
bilily ofthe different routes proposed aud
the energy, enterprize aud libeiaIity Of
the citizens residing aldhg these routes
Our ideas Of the best route ate very fire..
qnently dissipated by an examination of
The engineers.
The proposition t" strike out all inter
mediate points iii tie Charter should have
been adopted. Had the bill originally
presented this feature. it would not have
met with SD much opposition and would
not have arrsyed against it some OF
those WIN are really interested in the
construction % the road.
The great end aud aim Of those wh'
may have the management Of the con
structinn of this road. should be to carry
out the des gu with which it was original
ly proposed Ito make the sh"rtest and
hest railroad route from Wheeling /,
Cincinnati. aud thus secure large share
ofuhe through freight aud travel. IL
sttain this very important end. the man
bgsifieut should be cnnided To practical
prudent; business men, and br irtl entlte
~ uniet,ered. In this case. they woul,
be left free tn act AZ policy aud prsctica
bility suggested, and would lie enabled
t0 carry out the original design much bet
ter aid mnre conf plelely. The conse
aueuce of this would not fail To manifes
itself in The ample recei pts of the r"a'
and the large profits received by tn
stock holders, IN addition TO the gredt ad
vantages which would necessarily be Sc
cured to business and property by il
construction.
BeEats tl6siug this article. we mey adj,
that we cannot see any reason why th
Legislature shonld not grant US this Char
ter. The road takes direction whic
will not ihterfefe much with the Stat
works and opensup facilities for bddiass
TO several counties which do not no,
possess them. This latter considerable
should have weight with men "h" pio
fesS be legisIaliug. for the good Of Ih
State aud the benefit Of the people.
