RAIL ROAD MEETING.

According to previous notice large, respec-
table and enthusiastic meeting of the
citizens of Belmont Co. Ohio, convened at
Uniontown on the SOth July, at O'Clock P.
M, to take into consideration the advantage
and propriety of the immediate action in the
construction Of the Western Rail Road, COM
mencing at Bridgeport-thence up the valley
of Wheeling Creek. On motion Eli V. Clea-
yer was appointed to the Chair, and E. Bales
Sec'ty. Gov. Shannon, Hon. B. s. Cowen,
and Gen. DeHass being present, by whom
the meeting was addressed in an able and elo-
quent manner, on the important subject of
now being the accepted time for action, and
showing the Importance and great advantages
that would be derived from the immediate con-
struction of said road up Wheeling Creek,
that the track is practicable and of easy grade,
and can be made on an average of 800 900 per
mile and perhaps less, according to the best
estimate that can be had from those who are
competent judges, and have caref ully viewed
the contemplated route. And, also, if the
people along the line expect to get the road,
they must make the first move in the matter,
and subscribe literally and fully what they
are able, and the balance will be made up by
the citizens Of other places that are interest
ed in this great enterprise. The following
resolutions were then adopted:
Resolved, That we look upon the construc-
ton of Rail Road from Wheeling to Coshoc-
ton, by way of Wheeling Creek and Stillwat-
ter valleys as an enterprise in which we feel a
deep interest, nd one that will be highly USE
| ful and profitable. In view then of the i'm
portance of the enterprise, we the citizens of
Wheeling Township, believing that prompt
and energetic action is necessary to the sue
cess of the work, respectfully tender the fol-
lowing resolutions to the Townships of Pease,
Colerain, Richland, and Flushing:
lst. Resolued, That we each raise $40, 900
for the construction ofthe Western Rail Road
from Wheeling to, or near the town of Flush
ing, on the nearest, best, and most practicable
route, and from thence to the best termination
west.
! End. Resolved, That we recommend to those
several townships the propriety of taking the
matter Immediately into consideration each
for themselves, call meetings, discuss, & look
at the question and appoint committees &c.
for the purpose of raising stock, that the fina
result may be speedily and favorably known
3D. Resolved, That committee of five, on,
from each of the above named townships, b.
appointed as committee o: correspondence

NEW CITY,

At large and respectable meeting of the
citizens of Martinsville, on Saturday last 9
resolution was passed to have said town in
corporated, and Belmont City chosen as the
name by which they wished to be identified
in the future. The limits were defined as
follows: Commencing north at Martins
dwelling, running from thence to the Buring-
ton road, along said road to point east of
the great bend in the plank road, or to Cap
tain Crawford's mill, and from thence back
again to the river, site large enough, in all
conscience, we should Judge, for centurys
building. We hope not, however, but trust
that the incoming of railroads will profit our
neighbors to such an extent that houses may
start up like mushrooms, and that before ten
years they may be pressed for want of room.
Nevertheless, we think the step towards in
corporation wise one, and know of no spot
in this region more eligible for manufactu-
ring and commercial purposes except Wheel
ing itself.
The inhabitants express themselves as
under manifold obligations to Mr.. MARTIN
for his proverbal kindness and liberality, and
would have left the place named after him as
at present, did they not contem plate union,
at no distant day, with couple of small
towns in the immediate neighborhood. Should
this, as matters now stand, come to pass,
there need be no delay for want of proper
appellation for the trio, viz: Belmont City.
We hope soon to have the privilege of
chronicling the election Of Mayor and
Councilmen, for there is nothing so cheering
to us as to see the people 60 ahead en- masse
in the way of Improvement Wheeling Times
0JBelmont City is bound to be city in
fact as well as in name, and that in a very
short time. Tbs. right kind of people are
there-the real go-ahead folks, who believe
that to get wealth, they should make it-ant
accordingly they have gone to manufacturing
in earnest. AS to uniting with towns abov,
| and below-that is fixed fact and from Bel
mont City to Bellair, there must, in a very
few years, be solid mass of houses, swarm
ing with Industrious citizens, busily engaged
in the various branches of manufacturing
which our great railroad facilities will speed
lily develop. We doubt whether there are
better facilities for manufacturing in the U
States than are to be found in the range O
the towns and intermediate space above re
ferred to-and we are very sure that those o
Wheeling are not equal. Huzza for Belmoa
City-and all along shore.

C. HOOVER.

General Hoover is named as candidate for
the Legislature; 81 am unable to comprehend
this announcement" says the General, (See
last Gazette.)
Strange and incomprehensble indeed that
C. Hoover should be named as a candidate
for the State Legislature; past the compre-
hension of the General himself Very COM
prehensible it would be, were he fit for the
position, but he has not the vanity to think
that he is. The General sees that there is a
fitness in things.
To be able first, to DISCOVER. and then to
confess to SO much truth in reference to ones
self, is great thing. Known thyself; for all
time, that has been regarded as the highest

HuMBuG is very little word, and judging
from the frequency of its repetition we sup
pose it is easily said. Only six letters--two
syllables, almost any one can cry out alum
bug" 1t is powerful argument with Ger.
tain class of men, and right valiantly do they
WELD it. APPALLING it is, too, to any one de.
sirous of calculating any mystery either of
science or the arts, Cor it gathers. strength as
it goes and its deafening clamor browns the
voice of reason. We conclude then that
"Humbug" is the mother tongue of 'one-
horse minds. Is not such state of things,
to say the least, very provoking' Is it not
great pity that any one is thus choked down
without hearing! We often feel like cry
