we are Concerned, we are anxious To Ie-
new its publication, because 10 our city
readers il is more satisfactory than u
weekly paper; but at the same time those
receiving the benefits should be willing
TO remunerate us for the increased ex-
penses There were many individuals,
who read it regularly before, that arc a.
Bile To take it and pay for it. They did
not do 80 then, and we are in hopes that
they will be ready now 10 become our
customers as we'll as leaders.
RAILROAD MATTgRs,--Just at this time
and for a few days past, there has been
considerable excitement in this city, grow
ing outof the disbanding Of the eastern
corps of engineers under the direction Of
Mr.. Carpenter, and placing Mr.. Wood
ward with new corps upon this portion
of our route. Wo have heard .various
surmises and many facts connected with
this change, but at present are unwilling
as public journalist to engage in the
discussion. 1t is due to the public that
IN exposition be made. and we hope that
those most Immediately interested will
explain the matter.
Another cause for excitement grows
out of the probable location OF the road
through this city. In regard to this, all
We have to say is that no man or set Of
men should have the power to take the
road out of its proper direction for the
accommodation Of either section of the
city. A fair and proper estimate and
survey ought to settle this matter and
the road should be located whore the
facts and figures place the best and short
est route.
E This railroad is an enierprizo of loc
much Importance and will cost too much
muney, to be- made the sport Of individ
ual preferences, individual interests ol
individual feelings. The various com
ties along the route have subscribed to it,
capital stock nearly million of dollars
which amount has been increased by sub
scIintons Of individuals living in variou
sections Of the country, most of whom
can have no other interest than the loca
ton Of tho road upon the route whicI
the surveys and estimates designate q
the shortest and bost. Ii is alIogsthe
probable THAT over million aud hal
! of dollars will be subscribed to this roa,
before its completion, and this sum is q
too much magnitude to be managed b,
selfish or dishonest men for individual in
stead Of public interests.
We have. at this time, no accusation
to make and none to repel. Wo awai
for further infUrmstion upon the subjec
. The columns Of our paper have boo
used and used freely to promote thi
. great work; we have advocated count
. aud individual subscriptions in aid Of tn
J. enterprizc; and we shall be equally d
voted to proper management Of its a
fairs now that it is fairly under progress
-" The mass Of tho people are deeply inte
ested and will demand silicl accounta
}, bility of those who have been placed
d the head ofIhe enterprize. We don ct wis
u to be under stood as casting any imput
\ tions upon the officers Of the compan
'. We merely allude TO these rumots in o
der that the facts may be elected aud ii
~ blame attach to those who deserve
q The difficulties have assumed such
r. shape az to demand an investigation.
