Col. Horner-Brunswick Papers.

Col. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fdpSrS.
Our cotemporaries at Brunswick are
much excited. The Central City" is
cutie wrolh at us for demonstrating that
Glasgow Is the nearest and cheapest point
ir a connection-and for showing the pee
pie of Charlton that they are likely 10 have
heir subscription for he Keytesville route
diverted TO The bottom route, without thei
cnsent. Weleave it, for the present, Il
satisfy the Keytesville people Of the justice
q the proposed diversion of the county
subscription from the central route to which
il was voted, while we briefly notice an ar
tcle in the last Press" The article allu-
d.i to is headed "Hon. III. Horner," and
from that article we extract the following
paragraph:
Recent developments have shown him
Horner 10 be one of the best railroad
men in the State. Not only has he watched
the interests of his district faithfully,
but he has done for our project what we
consider an invaluable favor. His action
p eur favor brought down upon his head
The fearful execrations OF The Glasgow res
oluliOns, but in defiance of those denuncIa-
tory resolves, and right in the very teeth Of
TIE delegation from the convention tha,
adopted them, he has declared himself in fav-
or Of US and our road. He takes an eleva-
led and eminently patriotic stand, and de.
clsfes that, let our enemies ienounce and
eliminate him as they may, he is proud o.
Old Charlton, proud OF Brunswick, and vii
dsfsnd and protect their interests 10 The ex.
tent Of his ability. Who now will attempt
iony that he is not railroad man? What
clllzen. Of this county can look at his propo.
sllon in The Senate, giving to our road seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and not
feel proud that he occupies a seat in that
honorable body?
The ,"Press" has the subject terribly
mixed up, and either don't understand what
It's about, or don't understand Maj. Hor-
nss position: or what is more probable,
nsIher wants 10 understand him, nor the
citizens Of Glasgow. The movement of
Ma. HOrner, in the Senate, did not meet
Ae views of his constituents in Howard.
'na hence The meeting in Glasgow. (How-
