hear, of course, much conversation on the SUBJ
iect of the above road, and far as could per-
cvive there is quite disposition there to settle this
v"xed question on terms which we suppose won d
be satisfactory TO both Welsburg and Wheeling;
- tsnamelH TO incorporate company 10 construct q

and Wrilsburs 10 Wheeling, without a bridge at
Steubenvilie; or TO extend the Pittsburgh and
S- Steubenvilie road on the same terms. We do not
zaknO,D how this project would be received by our
ci,iz. MS or those Of Brooke, but think such set
Element would be advantageous TO both parties,
and heal finally the grounIless heart-burnings
which have so long existed. Cannot this question
be settled at once7 Welsburg is as much inter-
ested 10 prevent the bridge at Steubenville we
1aaIe, land itdo,s seem that this matter be
finally and arnicably adjusted. Ii this matte, can
