or trade Of the West The President evident
IL looks to Big Sandy FOX Z terminus. When
nil lie get there? Virginia will attend to his
wants. It IS an old practice to attempt to cry
down that which Is most feared, and Mr. Swami
hes adopted this course Is 10 He.nPaeld. He
has pressed the y. W. Va. Railroad well, but
finding that be has found nothing at its western
terminus, he finds it cxPedicnt TO dscry the
Hempl-ld. and shifting his powers Of vaticina-
ton 20 his desires, he grayely asserts that this
road xiii aaver be completed. Wait awhile.
By September this Hemgfield viii be running TO
Washington, the CHARTERS viii meet it there,
and then We can lend ali our energies to Green's
barg with 2 through connection without it
even and we shall likely have this road eoH!-
qb,sI to Grccnsburg, before the assent of the
Mayor OF Baltimore is obtained to the S500,0Oo
appropriation. What does the 3. and o. Rail
road Company ind at ParkerSburg? Is there
any railroad connection West? Nay not this
extension prove the -Nigsrof the Baltimore Road,
having a source but no mouth. We hope our
ncighbors of Parlersburg may realize all they
have anticipated from this road. We Learn that
they have literally given all they were asked
for 70 this road. But for the prescat we do not
zee where its trade will come from and how Par
kersburg is 20 be remuncrated for her outlay.
Mr.. swann's vivid imagination may see deeper
iato this question than w do. But we suggest
TO him that on his next effort at sp~eech-Inaking,
lie conine himself 10 his own road and its pros
poets, and hope he may not find it necessary
to attempt to drag down other roads to build up
his. We wonder If he has got the Mayors as
sent to the subscription or loan yet. lie styles
himself 4 giant, aud he may b., but we hope
that his next completion of I road may be done

and quality than were witnessed in his wild ex
travagance in attempting the completion Of the
3. and o. Railroad prelnaturely, in order TO re-
olize an empty boast made by its thea President
The road las not yet recovered frOm the in
jury sustained by running it before it was rea-
dy. It is one Of the BEST roads in tine Union,
well Differed and well conducted rs a running
road, bat it Will be long ere it recover from the
aninadyersions made on it through the West,
for its inability to perform its promises in 1858
and '5f. 1t cost too much to complete it SO
hastily, and we trust its example may prove a
warning to other roads, not to run
ming until the road is made" Had this road
not been thus managed, we venture to say that
its through freight and passengers would for
two years back have been Infinitely greater.
In future it must succeed. The road is now
known through the West, and it only needs to
be known in order TO command the patronage
of the public. Its managers have learned,
though late, that it requires effort to bring n
road into notice, and that in the hurry of travel
the traveller must be sought out and sto5H the
route which he must take. The road now is do
ing well, aud the Central Ohio is pouring into
its lap the trade and travel of the West. The
latter road is learning also the lessons above al
luded to, and its receipts this month will exceed
$4,000, larger than ever before.
