s Without suppAing that Cinciuussi o. Pitts
burg are to be eolipsed by Ceredo, ii is easy to
see that it possesses many important natural adj
vantages, and If these are properly improved by
capital and skill, there appears no good reason
why it should not become speedily large busi
ness centei It will not be left without support
in its infancy. but be sustained and cherished
by the association both Of capital and intelli-
geuce, the eby rendering success as much mat
ter of certainty as any earthly enterprise can
we'll be- The company by which the place was
founded have erected powerful steam engines,
whose power and the necessary room for its use
are rented to mech mics, thus giving facilities
for worknen without large capital of their
own: The location of several factories Of any
important character creates, of itself, town,
and if the proprictors of Cercdo succeed in their
plans-and the men who founded and protected
Lawrence, in Kanzas, are not much subject to
failurc-they will soon rear city here. Here,
moreover they are aided by the goodwill, the
capital and intelligence Of Virginia, and it is
difficult to see any important reason why Ceredo
may not become one Of the important towns oi
the Ohio Valley. B.
