Another Railroad Project.

We observe in several of our exchanges call
for a meeting which was to take place at Nelson
vile last Saturday, to take into consideration the
project of building railroad from POMEROY, on
the Ohio River, to COLUMBUS, by way of Ath-
ems, Chauncey, Jacksonville, Logan, Sugar Grove,
Lancaster, etc. Mr.. j. F. Somers, of Nelsouville,
is deeply interested in the project.
The Ohio State Journal says: "Our city (Co-
lumbus) is vitality interested in this project. We
must depend for prosperity upon our manufactures
and to have manufactures we must have abund-
ance of iron and coal. The finest region in Ohio
for both of these, is the Hooking valley, and to
that valley we must reach if we hope to keep the
position we now hold among the thriving, grow
ing cities of Ohio. We all have a GREAT interest
in this. WE MUST HAVE THIS ROAD. We have an
abundance of very excellent reasons WHY we
must have it, and we shall urge them from day t
day, till our citizens, especially our landholders
capitalists, and business men are reused to it
vital Importance"
Why we received no intelligence of this pro
posed meeting earlier, we are unable to say. W.
snail not quarrel about that, however. We be
lieve this road can be, and will be built. Th
benefit to this county must be seen and felt b.
all. True, twill benefit other points; but ever
one conversant with these public improvement
will at once see the advantages which Pomero
will derive from it, as the southern terminus o
this road.
Again, Notwithstanding the favorable account
from the IIllsborough and Parkersburg Railroad
many years may elapse before that road is iniShe
to Pomeroy. The difficulty between that com
pany and the Marietta company is not likely t
be compromised, The Railroad from Chillcoth
to Marietta is under contract, to be completed i
; two years. with track to Bclpre, opposite Pal
= kersburg. This will connect with the road frol
Parkersburg to Baltimore, and greatly deprecat
e the stock of the other road. While we are in ft
I yor of completing the road from Hillsborough
!, ParkerSburg we would not have our citizens los
sight of this new project.
