Pittsburgh, Maysville and Gin
cinnati Railroad.


PresidentOf this road, called OF. US on Mon
day evening fer the purpose Of explaining
the route and the general advantage and
importance Of the construction of this road.
Although comparatively new in his quar-
ter, this road has been in contemplation for
a considerable time in south eastern Ohio,
and has now assumed a position to challenge
the attention Of the country. At first the
project was for a road from a point on the
S~teubenyille and Indiana Road via Gem
bridge to Athens in Athens county, and
went Under the name of the Excelsior"
road. Butthe change in the route OF the
Cincinnati and Marietta road, which left
Athens on the route, made it necessary to
to select another terminus. The title OF
Excelsior" was then abandoned, and a new
company was organized under The above
NAME, making Maysville ami Cincinnati
points.
At present there is in process Of construc-
ton a line of railroad f,om Mobile, through
Tennessee and Kentucky, to Maysville, OF
nearly a straight line. The Pittsburgh,
Maysville and Cincinnati road is a continual
ton of this road 10 Pittsburgh. There, of
course, it is 10 connect with the roads al
ready under way, forming a bee line from
Boston, New York and Philadelphia, wah
the south west
The portion of the road in Ohio leaves
Aberdeen in Adams county, thence via West
Union through Pike, Ross. Hooking, Perry,
Morgan, Guernsey. Harrison and jefferson
COMMISSIONING down past Smith6eId in
Jefferson county, and following the waters
OF Mcintyre creek, forming a connection
with the oteub.nville and Indiana Road at
its mouth, seven miles from Steubenville,-
This large tract OF country is at present al
most destitute of means Of transportat ion,
and this road will open up its inaccessible
and vast bed of coal and iron. and permit
the agricultural capabilities Of the soil to be
developed.
The best men in South Eastern Ohio are
engaged in the enterprise. They feel that
it is just the improvement they want, and
must have. Aud as they cannot get city,
t. wnship and county subscriptions, nor for
eign subscriptions, in any amount, for the
present, they feel that they must make it
themselves, by privae subscriptions; and
accordingly they set about it with a spirit
commensurate with magnitude Of the work.
Far and near, on both sides of the line,
committees are actively ard successfully en-
gagged in getting subscriptions. At Neon
neIlsville $32, 900 was raised at a single
meeting, and other places contribute in a
spirit of SINH ar liberality. A competent
engineer has been over the route, and re-
ports it practicable-maximum grades, ex-
cept in the vicinity of the Muskingum, 46
feet to the mile-and the estimated cost is
$4,000 per mile.
Mr.. Peacock informs US that the subrcrip-
tons are already sufficient to warrant the
placing OF ;he road under contract. A res
olution has been passed for placing the por-
ton between McConnel5villc and Cambridge
under contract by the 4th of July, if a Ger.
tain sum should be raised. 1Hat sum uiI
be raised, and the road will be placed under
contract accordingly. This shows that the
people are in earnest, and hencelorth we
may safely regard tie construction of tie
whole road as a hing 10 be before a great
while.
One thing about this road is Of peculiar
Importance. BY connecting at Cambridge
with the Central Ohio, and thence with the
Cincinnati, Wilmington and GAINESVILLE road,
the distance is shorter between Cincinnati
and the eastern cities than by any other
route. The distance thus saved, we are as
signed, is seventeen miles. This is a pregnant
fact, and one which of itself, would be suf-
icient to secure the construction of the link
between the mouth of Mcintyre AMI Cam
bridge.--Stea. Union.
