named Gooduson, who is powerful fell
low; and Hyer's card, it was understood,
had as much reference to him as to any
one else, if not more. Gooduson's friends
take this view of the matter, and so do
Hyer's. In fact, Gooduson himself, in a
card in the New York papers, says as
much, and that it is not fear, but self re-
spcct and his family which has made him
avoid it heretofore. This is precisely
the manner in which the contest between
Hyer and Sullivan was brought about.
and the same result may be witnessed in
this case.

RAIlnoAps.-In tho IabIo- Of Railroad!


RAIIRoADs.-In the table of Railroads
published yesterday and which will oP
pear upon the fourth page ofoar@ weekly
the intelligent reader will notice a very
important fact, the greater profit derived
from the longer Railroads. The reasons
of this are obvious.
The road from here to GAINESVILLE would
do the business of a section Of country
along a line of about forty miles. AS
you extend this line, you increase the bu'
%siness oflhe road in a greater proportion
than the cost of construction.
What will be- Of vast advantage To the
proposed road from Cincinnati To Zanes'
vile, is its fortunate position. 1t forms
the shortest link in the great line oftrans
portatinn and travel, east and west, and
must of necessity perform a large share
of this, thus making it certain that all in
vestments which are made in 1t. must be
profitable.
The readers attention is directed tc
the article accompanying the table This
is the last opportunity we will have o
laying facts be ore the people of this
county, and we earnestly urge upon then
the necessity of fair and candid c"nver
s~ations with their neighbors relative t.
this question. The people should vote
