To D. L. Miller, Jr., Presiien,-.Sir IL
take great pleasure in informing you that

loan its credit TO The Sunbury and Erie Rail
Road for three hudred thousand dollars,
have been unanimously adopted by the peo-
ple* and unanimously passed by the Council
j JUS, as sent.

The following letter was read, showing
the enormous business that may be expected
from the Lakes by this Road -
jus, now was told BY some Of the most
influential memehers of the New York and
Erie Board, that they would have no oblec-
ion TO the building the Smbury and Erie
Road, If it could be postponed ak years
This is selfish, for it has been fairly tested
that the New York and Erie Road is moi
competent 10 do the business required this
winter, and the Company are now making
arrangements to make one hundred miles of
double track this year Our Road from
Erie 70 New York State line, since it has
been opened, has passed over it daily, from
two 10 four hundred of through passengers,
and the business is daily on the increase
Now while writing, there are three hundred
down passengers going TO the cars, bound
for Dnnkirk Within four or five weeks this
will double Yon mus, bear in mind this is
the dules' part Of the year.
Since our road has commenced, we have
had at one time over three hundred ions of
down-fleight waiting shipment, and the n.
York aud EIie Road sending word TO hold
90, for they had more than they cold for
ward. There are al Dunkirk ten thousand
bbl. Of Flour landed at that place, jus, now.
bound for n. York, not shipped yet. Every
warehouse, barn, and shed, in the neigh
borhood of the road, is filed with freight,
waiting shipment. Our goods this winter
have been fIom 10 weeks from ~ York
here. We are now waiting for the opening
of the road to Buffalo Here we are in the
dnllesl part OF the year, with seventy miles
OF carriage TO the Ohio road, and now earn.
ing enough to make our road ten per cent,
stock. When it is carried west, travel will
be doubled, and freigh, ,enfod. Where is
the Sunbury and Erie road ? We want it
now.
VAS no election was held or required, we
presume this refers to the action of public
meetings, or to the wel-known unarimi,y
Of the popular senlimen, in favor of tins
great enterprise.
