The storm Of Sunday week proved re-

company lost two, and the West Columbia
company two, making SIXTY-oNE. The
amount OF coal lost will not be lees than
100000 bushels We have already seen
accounts of FIFTY LIVES LOST, and it
was feared many more would vet be report
ed. TIE greatest loss of life was opposite
Sugar Creek where two pairs Of coal boats,
belonging to Mr.. Watson, were lost, and
twenty -four men drowned.
In spite Of all these accidents, Cincinnati
is well supplied with coal, which is selling
N14 and IA cents by the boat-load, and
large numbers Of boats are passing the city
for points below; many bound for New Or
leans, where Coal is commanding very
high price.

TIE PEopLE's ouNrAIS.-The first num-
Der of this new paper made its appearance
last Thursday evening. G. W. Hoy is ed
itor, and John Rumble, Publisher. 1t i,
neatly printed, all their material being new,
The terms, for subscription and advertising,
do not vary materially from our own.
The politics of the paper are, professedly
Maine-Law and Democratic, though very
little is said of either Prohibition or Democ.
racy, except in the Salutatory. We car
readily excuse this, however, for few
weeks, until the editor can get fair start
The new editor is extremely witty. Fhack
cray cannot equal him in satire, if one ol
two articles in the first number are intended
as satires. If not, he certainly has forgot
ten the old proverb: "An ounce Of honey
catches more FLIES than barrel Of vinegar,
or that other equally ancient and honorable
maxim: "Wilful waste makes woful want.
We regret exceedingly that any thing cen
surable should have appeared in the columns
Of the first number. We may be little
too fastidious-perhaps we are-but it does
seem to us little out Of place for nea
temperance paper to recommend its read
ers to stop at a low-priced whisky-shop il
Cincinnati, merely because the rumsellel
pays for little advertisement. We are {
little ultra on this subject, we know; for w
have even refused to advertise such houses
when publishing paper not pledged tt
the advocacy of temperance principles
We trust this will not be considered unchar
table.

New YoRK Ian o. 1874

New YORK, Jan. 81, 1854.
EDITOR MEIGs COUNTY TELEGRApH,-The
old sdage, "It is an il. wind that blows no.
BODY any good, ,"i is verified by the Erie rail
road war.
Will you please look at the New York
Tribune of the Goth inst, last page, Sd COL
umn, under the heading of Commercial
Matters" Immediately after the Stock Sales
report, and you will find four lines of mat
ter most important, not only to Pomeroy,
and Meigs county generally, butto the whole
section of Ohio-from the Hooking to the
Queen City. They read thus: "a meeting
of Merchants was held to-day, at which it
was resolved to forward goods to the West
by way Of Baltimore and Wheeling-by
which route goods can be delivered as quickly
and cheaply as from Philadelphia" Again,
the New York Herald of Jan. 81, under its
financial and commercial head, "Money
Market, Jan. &C.," 9th page, 4th column,
speaking of our Western friends, says:
"They would doubtless have secured their
full supplies earlier, but for the outrageous
proceedings at Erie, Pa, which have an
nIled, temporarily it is to be hoped, the
usual facilities for the transportation of
goods west of that mob-ruined place. Our
local merchants having duly considered this
state Of affairs, have issued circular, in
which they promise daily line of steam
ers from New York to Baltimore, whence
goods can be dispatched by the Baltimore
! and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio river, al
prices below the published rates for car.
riage by any Of the routes from the Allan.
tic to the West"
Now it is confidently asserted that the
Parkersburg branch will be finished in si1
months. Allow that the bridge across the
Ohio should be at or near the mouth o
Shade. Pomeroy is, from its growing i'm
portance to be connected with that bridge
put the bridge where they will. This OIL
the east and north through Meigs county
The same Pomeroy must be connected will
Cincinnati BY a road Ito Hillsborough, per
haps) or south thereof. Cincinnati is thu
short of TOO miles from New York, via
Baltimore, Parkersburg, Pomeroy, Hillsbor
ough. Again, allow, which YOU must do
that trade once diverted from the long nor
thern route, will never return to it, unles
from greater facility and dispatch, whicl
those roads, already driven (when in oper
alton at their utmost speed, can never at
tain. These things bring Pomeroy mucl
nearer this immense market, where fou
sells to-day at $3.50, wholesale, and $9.5
retail.
Now, through your paper, cannot the en-
terprising and far-sighted men of your Vi
cinity be reused to an extra effort to secur
such railroads as the above, thereby placin
themselves on the best route from Cincinna
| to New York, and freeing all concerne
from the iron rule of Pennsylvania?
| throw off these hurried remarks in tn
hope that others will think, and, after matur
thought, act upon them. hope to lay m
hand on the Circular published by the Ne'
York merchants. ! will enclose it to , ou
