RICHMOND AND FoRr WAYNE RAILROAD
There is projected railroad from Richmond to
Fort Wayne, already partly constructed. con-
Meeting at the latter point with the Grand Rapids
and Indiana Railroad, and at the former with
the Eaton and Hamilton Railroad. thus giving a
continuous and almost direct line of railroad
from the Straits Of Mackinaw to the city OF Gin
cinnati. On the link between Richmond and Fort
Wayne, a distance of eighty six miles, about
$3.50 900 worth OF earthwork had already been
done, aud il is estimated that about $3.50 900
more would prepare il for the iron. meeting
Of those interested in the completion OF the road
was held in Richmond on the lst inst and it
was the unanimous sentiment of those present
that it could and should be speedily completed
The RAILROAD QUESTION The Owen County
Journal thus discourses about railroad through
the White River Valley
I'VE have watched the negotiations in regard
to this road with intense interest bebause il will
materially affect the future prosperity OF White
River Valley. The geographical position of the
Valley points unerringly to the line between
Indianapolis aud Nincennes as the natural and
proper route for a railroad. The citizens of In.
disnapolis. and of Vincennes aud westward and
southwark of the latter city, know this and the
people OF the Valley have for years experienced
the Inconvenience aud loss of not having such a
road. road to Cincinnati. while il would be a
great convenience. would be OF comparatively
little importance. and positively detrimental TO
the interests OF tho State
" Cincinnati has long desired 20 be in closer
communication with this section. that she might
draw into her capacous mart the vast produc
tons OF this rich agricultural and mineral region
indianapolis has also seen the advantages to be
derived from direct communication with the
Valley south, but has been apparently satisfied
to see. without possessing them. few spas
modic efforts soon abandoned, tell the story OF
Indianapolis endeavors TO grasp ut treasures
almost within reach.
We do not like this idea of road from
Cincinnati 10 Martinsvlle, because il lessenss the
prospect OF road from Indianapolis Without
being in the least actusted by sectional feelings
we do want 20 assist In building up our Owl
| town, our own county, and our own State, and
State Capital and this road will do neither.
ITO enumerate the advantages to indianapolis
and TO the country through which IL passes, of q
railroad down tho valley Of White river would
be to repeat an oft told tale. familiar to all
those interested. IL the business men of In
danapolis want TO lie supinely on their backs and
allow the Cincnnatians TO drive their steam
| huckstet wagons by their doors, and collect the
produce aud trade that naturally should 20 e
enrich tho Capital City of our own State. We
don't know as We can help IL We can only war;
them of the serious consequences 90 result from
thua neglccting the advantages which Nature
has so obligingy thrust under their unappreca
tive noses -
