steubenville & Indiana Railroad.

The Steubenville and Indiana, and the
Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroads, are
hardly to be regarded as separate works,
although distinct corporations. The former
and greater work, although traversing q
popular region, rich in local resources, is
really nothing without its extension to Pitts
burgh-the Pittsburgh and SteubenviIle
Railroad. The latter has scarcely com.
putaole value, separated from its connexion
with the Steubenville and Indiana Railroad.
Thus it follows that Pittsburgh and Alleghe-
ny couu'y, without dollar in the stock Of
the SteubenviIle and Indiana Railroad, are
very largely interested in the success of that
work, in virtue Of their heavy investments
10 the stock ofthe 2. and s. Railroad, which
is essentially part and parcel of the former.
Hence it is that we have watched with
keen interert the progress Of the Seuben.
Vile Railroad TO completion, and that we
look with anxious solicitude to the success
Of those efforts now making in Philadelphia,
to place the line in the best operating
condition. All that is sought ia Phiadel-
phia, is quarter Of million of dollars, and
we are glad to see the indications Of sue
cess(al result of the appeal in that qaaT-

Our own link in the line--the Pittsburgh
and Steubcnyille-will need lift along,
but no more than favorable turn in the
money and securities market. to enable the
Board 10 convert the securities in their pos
session. Bat the work goes on, and The
road from Pittsburgh to. Steubenville will
be completed, we dare promise, in all 1856.
Meanwhile, the Steubsnv1le and Indiana
Railroad is in actual operation ils whole
length from Steubenville to Newark. AS
the readers of this paper are aware, con-
nextion by steamers from Steubenville was
established with Pittsburgh some months
ago, and Las been successfully maintained.
This arrangement continues, but we are
gratifed toadd that the growing Importance
of its business tits travel as we'll as its
freight businrss--demands further proyis-
ion at Pittsburgh for the Steubenyille and
Indiana Railroad. a general agency, there
fore, comprehending passengers as wen as
freight, has been arranged in Pittsburgh.
and henceforth freights and passengers will
be receipted and ticketed through from
Pittsburgh to all points in the West.
