Thu Railroad.

We gratifed to state that the preliminary sur.
veys Of the route for the connection with the Kenosha
Railroad have been completed to the State line. We
are informed that the requisite amount of stock re
quired oy our State law $i ,0O6 to the mile) TO or
/ ganize the company has been already subscribed
and that the Company will be Immediately formed,
tie first astameat paid M the purchase OF right Of
wsy 30 follow Immediately after, and fact that
is secured the hands to DC pm; right TO the work
This is the programme settled upon, which is 10 he
carried out III the very shortest possible time We
venture to say that railroad enterprise ever start
cd has reached such state OF turwa rlness in so
short time since in first inception as this. Last
june was the first time a kenosha connection was
ever thought Of and nov It's preliminary are
made, and those engaged in il prepared to organize
the company aud complete the road in year. We
may here mention that the engineer informs that
his preliminary surrey demonstrates that the route
is unexpectedly feasible for the construction
Of railroad track Its grades, cuts, and heavy
work all if arr hing below the same work ON
many of the most favored roads in that respect yet
built III the West We learn from him that the poo
pie of Caledonia, beaverton, Chemung, and all along
the line of the road ere moving actively and energet
ically IL the matter, and that meeting was to be
held az the latter place last Saturday evening ut
which If was expected q stock subscription to the
amount of $4,000 already subscribed would be pre-
sentcd We hope soon to lay the action of this meet
I ing before readers.
We have qniye recently received letter from the
seccetilry OF tho Kenosha company in which he
writes that fhey are progressing with the very
best satisfaction. fisey !l;ve two fine locomotives
on tuc way WiiE:A ticy expect VIII arrive Certainly
by tile 18TH Their President viii be home by the
10Th, when immediate arrangements will ho made
FOR early inference in this city. Hc assures
that they viii cover every inch of their track with
rail az fast possible He concludes as follows
'sOur citizens much gratifed and encouraged
by the aspect of things The prospect of effecting
connection with r tckfoid has given an impulse
and direction to railroad feeling, and induced
iidcnee, which no other project or proposition could
have secured Let that prospect rpen into certain
(y, and so far as IRE arc concerned the work will he
pushed forward with degree of energy and rapidity
beyond what has over yet been exhibited in the his
tory and progress of Wisconsin railroad because
I'VE kRotc it TO be enter rze that will pay ble and
there can be no hesitation in throwing into it any
amount of means required to cousummate Or com
plee ii at the earliest practicable period.'
The above extract exhibits in gratifying light
tho influence which tho favorable view expressed
merely by people Of the Kenosha connection has
had upon their road 1t has brought to ia road
already fixed thingincrtased aid in the additional
confidence inspired towards it. And this very fac
increases orr own confidence in Ire certainty OF this
AUTOMATICALLY superior connection. Every step
we take increases their confidence, and renders to
them that increase OF material aid which always
results from increased confidence, and thus we rem
der more certain this railroad connection which
all much desire. Thus reciprocity of confidence
begets reciprocity OF action aud corresponding re-
suits. Our correspondent certainly speaks by card
when lie says that the road will pay big. Men well
vcrsed and possessing much experience in railroads
calculate with certainty that this road will pay
per cent equal to any OF the enormous profits
ed bv many of the western railroads of late years.
And this cannot be otherwise with the Immense
business which we shall do over the road and the
character OF the country through which it runs,
ly expected that double track will soon be
