Mr.. Geo. w. German has recently been
appointed agent tor the : ournal in the -four
ishing town of Owensville, Posey county,
ind. he has commenced bis duties well by
sending US large club of subscribers for the
Weekly Journal. More than this, he tas
promised large addition. While we thank
him kindly for his attic ntion, we may be peg
mitted to say, that other friends might well
initiate his example in different places. A
little energy and industry would much extend
the circulation of the Journal in this region.
We can do nothing or but little without the
aid of our friends. With them, we can &C.
complish wonders. The Weekly Journal
even without the ard of improvements we in.
tend having made by next fail, is a valuable
paper to every farmer and business man. i
Is not iashy "dollar Weekly" containing
nothing but stale miscellany and news Ions
since forgotten, packed up in large sheet a,
wares for any gullible market, but everything
about it is fresh, and with the stamp of orr
ginalty on it's columns. II any patron dom

Journal. he had better withdraw.
Agents like Mr.. German could in a YER,
brief time double the list of the Journal, an,
enable us to double our efo' Is in every way
increase its value.

Justice to the world, as well as ourselves,
would seem to require tina the public should
be made acquainted with the superior advan-
tages to be found in connection with the
above points. Being intersected by NO great
public improvement thereto, the stranger, the
traveller never passed through Pike county,
and it renamed in comparative obscurity.-
But this state of things is now about to cease.
Tie keen observant eye Of enterprise has
long been fixed upon the resources of this
region, but the world has known nothing of
them.
! Petersburgh, the County Seat of Pike co..
is situated upon the line of the great canal
passing diagonally through Indiana, termi-
mating at Evansville. This important ave.
nue. OF trade is about to be opened for boats
throughout its entire length. This county
will also be intersected by the In annapolis
and Evansville "Straight Line" "Air Line''
Railroad. Considering the grand connection
formed by this line between the lakes and
Ohio riyer-between the North and South
and between the North and West AMI the
South West directly, this road at once as.
sumes the very first importance.-its compile.
ton, and its early completion too, becomes in.
dub ;ibly certain. Go where it may, this
road must pay throug' the length and brea.
dth Of Pike county, and thus becomes an i'm.
Provement of uncalrulable advantage to the
county. The location is not made, but va.
rle'y of circumstances Indicate a certainty
thai it will be fixed by Petersburgh. The
rapid improving character of their place, to.
gether with numerous advantag q a. a poin
Of business enterp ise, invite and secure thu
location. 1t is already a central point fol
ext, i've sections of Knox and Daviess coun
ties, and for a large portion OF Dubois.
The lands belonging to the above region
must not be overlooked. The wide bottom,
of White river arrests attention by their un.
surpassed fertility. Ascending from those
bottoms, we find beautifully undulatory lands
variously adapted to, but highly productive
both in grains and grasses. The coal-bank,
found in this region are also of incaiculabls
value.
But few sections, in 6ne, can be foun,

Evansvi1le and Illinois Railroad.

Evansville and Illinois Railroad.
A grave and important question, / Under.
stand is to be decided by the Board of Direct.
ors OF this road at meeting to be held shortly.
It is this-What is the true policy of the
Board to take in the event of the people of
Vigo county negiecting to make up, in stock,
an amount sufficient to justify the Board in
putting under contract that portion of Their DAD
lying between Vincennes and Terre Haute,
1t is understood that the people of Knox
and Sullivan counties have already made up
a liberal ubscription-quite as much as was
expected of them, and enough to grub, grade
and bridge The road from Vincennes to the
town of Sullivan, q dis ance of about 80
miles. The county of Vigo, however, has
failed to come up to the expectations of her
own citizens. The question then is, what is
to be done! Shall the road be permitted to
stop at Vincennes, or be extended to the
town of Su livan! In coming to a conclu-
sion upon this question, the board ought to
be governed by the probable amount of div-
ends it will pay if il stops at Vincennes, over
and above the amount if extended to Suli-
van. If the road stops at Vincennes, it will
there be put in connection with the Ohio and
Mississippi road, which will give an outlet
both east and west. 1t will certainly be q
dividend paying road. The receipts will not
be less than two hundred dollars per day at
first-equal to $62,6UO per annum-and it is
believed the receipts will very soon be in
creased beyond that sum. To run that dis
distance, will require about four locomotive
engines the first year. To run from Evans
vile to Sullivan, will require two additional
engines.
Will the probable amount of business
done OH the road between Vincennes and
Sullivan, taken with the Increased amount
of business that extension will throw on the
other portion Of the road, pay dividend
on the amount it will cost to construct ant
furnish it, and the cost of Keeping the same
in repair! That portion of the road, wher
completed. including rolling stock, will cos
about S372,000. Seven per cent interes
per annum on that sum will amount to 500,
O4O. The cost of repairs and running thu
road will amount to Sl8. 900 per year-mak
ing $4,000 per annum. To make up tina
sum, will require daily receipts amounting t
l4O dollars. Will that part Of the road make
it! 80
r. it will not, the question recu.s. would j
be doing Justice to the stockholders OF tina
portion of the road from Evansville to Vim
cenncs to less IN their dividend by taking il
a portion of road that will not pay an equa
dividend! A STOCKHOLDERS.
