Baltimore, and as our enterprise is tending
in its influences and termini to that point,
and we have already binding contract
for a connection and through rates, with
the N. W. V. Rail Road Company, and
a common bridge across the Ohio River,
(which that Company has obligated her
self to build, together with the road from
Parkersburgh to the Ohio crossingon the
Virginia side, all at her expense.) Itfol-
lows that ii there be any reasonable pros
pect for the Independent completion Of the
road from Jackson to Walkers Bridge,
it should be prosecuted and never given
up, assuming from all the pledges here
tofore made by Baltimore thather enlight-
ened citizens will contribute liberal sub
scriptions of stock towards the extension
east of Jackson, and that the citizens
along the line and at Pomeroy will add
as they have proposed to do, largely to
their subscriptions, and that the finished
road to Jackson will be worth with its ap-
purtenances at least SO, 500,0 600; and in
