ST. JosEpu AND HANNinAL RAiLRoAD.-We
were pleased to hear in conversation with an in
intelligent, gentleman, who recently visited the
upper country, that the citizens OF ST. joseph
and Of the country all along the Western line
Of the contemplated Improvement are very SAN
guine that this railroad will be speedily com
Aced and 60 on to completion. AT the date
S,nis information, only $40 900 had to be added
10 private subscription to enable the company
to call for the conditional appropriation made
by the last General Assembly. and it was con.
flen,ly expected that Col. Stewart, Presiden.
Of the Board of Directors, who was then out ON
the line, soliciting subscriptions, would very
soon get the amount required.
This will be magnificent improvement when
completed, and we are gratifed to hear thst the
public spirit and the energies Of the people Of
Northern Missouri ore likely TO prove equal to
the magnitude of the work before them. Run
ming a. it will through The most fertile and pro-
ductivs agricultural section of The State now
almost wholly destitute of market facilities the
immense importance Of this road cannot be
over estimated. The zeal and energy Of the
officers of the Board, and the promplness and
alacrity with which tho people all along the
line have responded TO the calls made upon
them, have, we think, already placed the con-
summation Of this work beyond the reach Of
contingency. Hoping that the friends Of this
road, az well q, those Of the Pacific railroad,
will not permit another session Of Congress to
close without liberal grant of public lands in
aid of both improvements, we heartily congrat-
ulate the citizens Of Northern Missouri on the
prospects n,w before .hem.-Jet City Metro
