WESTON w. Va, Jan. 80.
Editors of the Register:
Is 1t must be apparent to every intelli.
gent person that but little aid can be
expected from foreign corporations or
capitalists to build the West Virginia
Central Railroad: and if we even hope
to see this great enterprise begun and
completed, we will have to rely on our
own means, and look to our own people.
All agree that it is work of transcend
ant and permanent Importance, and
would be of incalculable benefit to the
State and people at large The question
then TO be considered, is, how can the
road be made, and where is the money
to come from Could the State build
it ? and would the people be willing to
bear increased taXationl The State
has the ability, and the people are will.

OF the Legislature will grid on their

wanted-A Street RAILWAY.

The construction of Street Railway
IN this city has been discussed, at sever
al times heretofore, but beyond the OBJ
tanning of a charter for that purpose in
1863 and the subscription of about one
tenth OF the amount of stock necessary
fer the successful completion of the en-.
terprise, nothing has yet been done. 1t
seems to us that a project which is 50
entirely feasible and which promises not
only profitable investment for the
stockholders but also so important ad.
advantages to the city at large should
not be allowed to fall through. There is
at the present time in this city large
amount of capital almost idle and, in
some cases, actually seeking investment.
which cannot be better employed than
in the construction and operation of
the railway of which we speak The
same is true of capital in other places,
anu we are we'll assured that, if thea a..
quslte funds cannot be obtained here.
the stock may be readily sold in Pitts
burg, or Cincinnati, or soma Of tho
Eastern cities.
But, it is manifestly the Interest of tho
citizens of Wheeling to build the raj,
way themselves, without foreign aid
The subscriptions should be small, and
held by as great number of persons as
possible, i'll order that the railway be rs
popular and successful as it should
