A8JU2N OF OUR II. LOUIS DELEGATION
We suppose it 10 generally known that
Gen. Van Antwerp and ]. K. Hornish
ESQ. went down to St. Louis . few days

kuk and Mt. Peasan, Railroad. We are
pleased to learn the degree Of success
which they met with. bu, the crowded
state Of our columns to-day prevents our
ssying more than few words concerning
the result.
The Ruddick heirs of the Montrose pro-
perry. who reside at St. Louis, subscribed
$4,000 to the capital stock Of the Com
pany. A hearing was obtained before the
Chamber Of Commerce, the members Of
which expressed much interest in the en-
terprise. The gentlemen representing the
road explained lie condition aad pros poets,
the intentions Of The Company. etc, and
stated their request OF the capitalists OF
St. Louis to be subscription sufficient in
amount to furnish the rolling stock OF tie
