FLOYD COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION -
The Democratic County Convention. at George
town, on Saturday. was very largely attended by
the staunch Democracy OF Little Floyd. Every
township was fully represented, and the utmost
harmony and good feeling prevailed. Col. G. l.
Dunhsm presided over the proceedings OF the
Cow ention, aud opened the meeting with a
stirring. eloquent aud patriotic speech. The
Convention. 1t will be seen by the proceedings
nominated Col. W. w. Tuley for re election as
Clerk, and Josiah Gwin as Recorder. Hiram
Hopper, of Greenvills township, was nominated
for County Commissioner. and Geo. n. Smith
Of New Albany, for Surveyor.
These nominations will give entire satisfaction
to the Democracy of the county, and will be rat
ifsd at the polls by large majority of the peo-
pies votes.-N. A. Ledger.
NEW RAILROAD IN PRosPEer.-We see that
the people along the line Of the West Fork OF
White river are agitating the subject, and taking
measures TO build q road down the Valley oil
said river. from Indianapolis to Vincennes. This
is a very important route, running as it would
through Marion, Morgan, Owen. Greene, and
Knox counties-all rich in agricultural and min
srsl productions. Greene county and a con
siderable portion of Owen. Knox. Clay and Mar.
tin counties, have now no regular outlet to
trade. which has served very much to retard their
agricultural and commercial interests. This road
would give them An outlet both TO the Southern
and the Eastern markets. and would much en-
hanee the value OF lands in those several coun
ties. Ii would also be OF interest TO the people
of this section Of the State, as is would very
materially shorten the route from here TO Indian
apolis. as we'll as give Us more direct access to
the great scope Of country lying along the South
ern Wabash, and all of Southern Illinois.
