n@-The foregoing proceedings reached
US on Friday last-threc days after the
meeting at Millheim-of which this was
our first public notice Nor have we any
official account of the meeting held-but
private advices are that resolute spirit
Of "keep moving was evinced, and that
$4,000 for stock we're pledged. This is
a good proof of the estimation in which
the work is held by those upon its line.
Our opinion is frequently asked as to
the prospects of the Lewisburg, Center 4
Spruce Creek Road. We never seek te
excite delusive hopes. The present high
rates of interest for money-large price.
for labor and prOvisions-and the advanced
cost of iron, are serious and IN somt
cases insurmountable obstacles to the pro
gress Of many Roads now under process
of construction and under such circum
stances, but little if any advance can b
made with the most promising new works
> On the other hand however, We learn from
Senator Slifer since our last paper wa
issued, bill has passed the Senate giving
permission for the Road to be extended t.
Tyrone City if the Company should deem
it advisable. And our belief, gathere'
from various sources, is, that the judgmen
, Of capitalists abroad is settling upon thi
as one of the best links in the chain tha
shall drawW estern commerce to Newly ork
If it shall prove upon mature investigation
to be the most direct and practicable rout
for the desired road, We entertain not
doubt but that it will be constructed a
the earliest day possible.
IWe have since received the proceeding
