CINCINNATI, WILMINGTON AND EVANSVILLE
RAIL RoAD. we clipped from the last Liet'
ing Herdldan article on this subject, which
we had intended to insert to-day, together
with some remarksof our own, calling the
attention Of our citizens to the efforts that
are now making to transfer the eastern ter
mnlis Of this Road from GAINESVILLE to New
ark; but, during our absence on Saturday
afternoon, the Herdlds article found its way
into the Courier sooner than we had intend
ed, and unaccompanied with the remarks
which we had intended to submit. 1t is
not toolate, perhaps, for us still to say, that
1t may be possible for the people of Muskin-
gum, and of Perry county, to rest too long
over this Railroad question: It is Of the
| highest Importance to both counties that the
location of the Road should be made as first
contemplated. 1t is important, also, to the
Rail Road Company, that it should be locai
ted on the shortest route-that which gwiA
furnish the speediest transit between Gin
cinnati and the Eastern cities. That route
is the one indicated in the charter, forming
u conneXion with the Central Ohio Road at
Zanesville. But this, like all other roads,
requires money to build it. 1t is also mat
ter of some consequence to that portion of
the road, now in process of construction, that
it should have an early eastern connexion.
II the means to finish the road to GAINESVILLE
shall not be provided, the Directors may
consider that the interests of the Company
will be best promoted by making connex-
ion at less desirable provided means
are rendered for that purpose. enc ''"''
The people of Newark are laborng to
raise the necessary mehns;and if, by mortga-
ging one-half their town, they can secure
the termination of the road there, they will
find it grand speculation. Ifby any means
this change should be made, it would be seri-
ously felt by property owners in GAINESVILLE,
Putnam, &c. 3 6I al.a r pai '#
They now have it in their own power to
prevent it. All that is necessary to be
done is to getvigorously to work and sub
scribe the requisite amount of means to se-
cure its construction from Lancaster to this
city. In Perry county, private subscriptions
to the amount of one hundred thousand dol
lars or more have already been made. In
: Muskingum, subscription on the part of the
: county to the amount of one hundred thou
$ sand more has been made. Now ifthe prop
er efforts should be put forth, all the addi-
uOndl dlHOuhI loqulleu Cdh uotialoSu W DC"
: cure the completion of the road to Zanes-
; vile. Will not those interested wake up
to sense of the vast Importance OF an
early attention to this matter! Will they
7 now permit the termination of this road to be
taken from them, and all its advantages con-
. erred upon others! Need we exhort them
to be up and doing at once, so as to secure
: these advantages to themselves!
b Ii it is desired and intended that Zanes-
I vile shall occupy her proper position as re-
u CARDS the other cities of Ohio, her citizens
It must expect to aid with a liberal hand, the
l. great and necessary improvements of the
q lay, which are SO necessary to contribute tC
: her growth. -a
n We are sure nothing more need be said
d "a word to the wise is sufficient. ."-Zdnes'
