The WESTERN BUkLErIN.-In tks
last number of this paper Mr.. WET
zEL, who has been associated with
Mr.. Vance 10 lis publication, an
nounced his withdrawal from all
connection therewith. This must
be a matter of regret TO those desi~
rous Of sustaining a paper at West
Columbia, as Mr.. w. is a ready wri-
ter, and a gentleman of point, tact,
and stamina. But that recommen-
daiion Of the remaining publisher
seems TO have been a little out oil
place, as we understand that Vance
declines 10 continue its publication.
The history of the establishment
Of this paper is that the enierprising
citizens of West Columbia advanced
some $3.50 or $500 for the purchase
OF a press on the condition that
Vance should publish a paper in that
place for three years. With this
money Mr.. v. purchased a new
press and type, which he brought TO
Gallipolis, and is now used in print
ing the Courier, and sent TO West
Columbia the old and worn out press
and type formerly used in the Cour-
Ter Office. Having made this snug
little business arrangement, at the
expense OF the citizens of West Co.
lumbia, he now, at the expiration oI
a few months, finds it inconvenient
to comply further with the terms oI
the contract, and leaves the party ol
the other part 10 (what can they
dof--make the best OF it. How our
West Columbia neighbors will look
upon this conduct OF the person to
whom they advanced their money
in good faith, we are not authorized
TO state, but we do know that here,
where the individual is known, il
surprised no one.

CINCINNATI AND MARIETTA RAIL
RoAD.-Mr. Kennedy, the chief en-
gineer oi the Marietta road, has just
completed a reconnaissance Of the
country between Marietta In d
Wheeling. Capt. emphatically says
that the rou, is the very best, for
railway construction, that he ever
saw. All the way the grades are
easy and regular, and there are 20
curves whatever, which will act as
an obstruction to speed. Capt. X.
is confident that the distance from
Wheeling to Marietta may be easily
run over such a road as he is build
ing between Cincinnati and Marietta,
in ninety minutes. He AYERS that
the entire line is susceptible Of the
best Of construction, at the lowest
prices, as il lies mainly on the Ohio
river, so that Materials o. all sorts
can be cheaply and readily brought
TO the ground.
