8. M. & P. RA1LRoAD.-We have here
been perfected by which the finished por-
lion of this road becomes an important link
in a short through line between Cincinnati
and Cleveland. Many of our readers are
individually deeply interested in its compile
ton and ultimate success, and as citizens of
the county and taxpayers, all are more or
less interested. Knowing. therefore, that
we are doing an acceptable service by pub
fishing anything within our reach tending to
show what its prospects for the future are,
we give below extracts from a recent letter
written by the President of the road, WIN.
DUNBAR Esq. Taken in connection with
the fact that the contractors are actively
at work on the unfinished portion, it affords
strong grounds for hope that after The many
aisappointmenis aid delays that have marked
iisshistory thus far, the day is not far distant
which will witness its final completion and
successful working.
THIS important chain oe railway, forming
a through line between Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh. over the route above mentioned,
is secured as Il through line, for the period
oftwcnty years from the first day of Sep
TENDER, 1859, by a written agreement duly
executed and ratified by the several compa-
MES forming said line. By the provisions OF
this contract, The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
g. chicago. and the Cincinnati, Hamilton 81
Dayton Railroad Companies net only guar
antee three hundred thousand dollars ofthe
Bonds Of the Springfield, Mount Vernon &
Pittsburgh Railroad Company, at eighty
cents en- The dollar, but bind their respective
com panies to purchase these Bonds of their
holders at thai price, by appropriating
mpnrtTfy chrlft the Eree7 of tfTrir
respective Road, derived from the business
ever this line ofRoad to that specific object,
and further bind themselves respectively to
throw all the through business that they Can
control at Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, over
| tLis line Of Road. Upon the completion of
cur Road, therG2fcrA; we have Il guarantee of
business frou. Pittsburgh d~estintdA for Gin
cinnati and points South anu West, as we'll
as all The intermediate points over our Road
and a like guarantee of business from Gin
%cinnati and points beyond, destined for
Pittsburgh and Eastern cities,
In addition to this important arrangement
for through business, the local business a
long CTR line of Road will be equal. if not
superior to that Of any Road Of equal length
in Ohio. The six counties into and through
which it passes more than equal in population
and value pftaxablc property, an average oil
tsat of the State, and would yield an annual
income of $4,000 per pile; and when we
add to this the amount OF the Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati through business, secured to US
by the contract referred to, the gross INCOME
cannot tall short of $500 dollars per mile,
or $40, 900 dollars pcryear. The data up
on WHICH this calculation is based. is the

and Dayton, and Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Roads, derived from their b4si-
ness between pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
The only competing line we have for
Pittsburgh, Steubenville and Cincinnati bp-
%siness, is called the Pittsburgh, Steubcnyille
aad Cincinnati Road, which is formed by
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
10 Rochester, on the Big Re4Yer River, from
thence to Steubenville oyer the Cleveland
and Pittsburgh Bead, thence to Newark over
the Stegbenville and Indiana Road, the nee
to Columbus over the Central Ohio, and
thence to Cincinnati over the Columbus and
Xenia and Little Mama Roads. The ar
rangement for running this line from Roch-
ester to Pittsburgh. over the Pittsburgh,
For; Wayne and Chicago Road, is but tenn
porary, rs is also the running arrangements
over the Central Ohio, both of which are IL
able to interruption at any time. Besides
both these are strongly competing Roads
With the Steubenville and Indiana Road
end will throw no business upon it within
their power to control. AT Cincinnati, the
L ule Mama Road has no connection with
any other line OF Road. its Depot being a.
bout two miles from the Ohio and Missis-
supp DePths hIu HenCe passengers must De
cutgeyed that distance By Omnibus lines,
and freight by ~drayage. Nor gap e direct
connection ever be made without destroying
pne Of the pas, important business streets in
GiDciapati.
n comparison with the S~teAbenVilie r9qte
our line of R pad has the advantage not only
in alignment and grades, but in every other
plcpent Of success, and can be run in from
Two 10 three hours less time from CincinHaSi
to Pittsburgh than any other llne of Road
; in OHIO.
