Athens, to Parkersburgh. on the Ohio.
This the Columbus people, and those
along the line, dream. Of immense i'm

tensiye Coal and Iron deposits Of south
eastern Ohio, which are nov compare

connecting with the Baltimore & Ohio
Road, at Parkersburgh. This Road
will be built, and there necessarily

with that of which we propose to
speak, I'll. ,.,,..'
From Columbus northwest q road
is built and running through Milford
in Union county, some 35 miles. From
Milford, through Bellefontaine to Lima,
is perhaps 55 or GO miles, and this line
has no road and is of which we desire
to call attention, The Baltimore and
Ohio Roads connections have always
been none Of the best, and it VIII use
its influence and capital for the further
ance Of the Columbus and Parkers-
burgh line, ON account of the benefits
it will derive from the Columbus con-
nections. Following in the same gen.
eral line, at Bellefontaine connections
are formed with the Bellefontaine and
indianapolis Road and with the San
dusky, Dayton and Cincinnati Road.
Thirty.two miles farther north west it
strikes Lima and forms connections
with the Pittsbdfgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago and Dayton & Michigan Roads

The Chicago people have had their at
tention turned to the Athens and Hook

exhaustible supply of Coal there, . but
for the unlimited beds of Iron ore.-

ufacturiDg interests OF Chicago and the
towns along the whole length of the
Road cannot be estimated, when we
consider the advantages to be derived
from the Coal and Iron beds of Hook

sity Of the Baltimore and Ohio Road
for shorter western connections is tho
best reason why that corporation
would be willing to assist such an en-

say. On the evening above mention
ed, there was dance at the house of
Jack Loudon, where the bloody affray
occurred, and during the evening a
dispute arose between Robinson and
one of the party, which soon resulted
in free fight, in which knives we're
freely used. During the melee Rob.
inson received cash in the neck, sew
ering hisjugular vein,which caused his
death in very few minutes. None Of
the other parties were injured ,as far we
can learn. On Monday morning war
rants were issued for the arrest Of
Lewis Steenrod, jr, R. Myers, Winfield
Myers. Leslie Cox, Frank Cram, and
Henry Harold, all of whom, except the
two last named were arrested and
lodged in Jail in Logan, where they
are now awaiting an examination

be tho principals in this affair, sue

have not since been heard from. Rob-
inson was man Of upwards of fifty
years of age, and supported large

Taxation ana Kspre..nt.,,on.

It is encouraging to observe that in
the arguments for speedy admission of
the late belligercnts to political power,
great stress is placed on the principle
that taxation and representation are
inseperable: and inasmuch as the Gov
ernment collects taxes on the South,
therefore their Representatives should
be Immediately admitted. The doc
trine is good and it did excellent serv-
ice in the revolutionary war. There
are four millions of people in the South
who never have been represented, al.
though always taxed. In some of the
States they are in the majority. We
do not see how mon can ask admission
for themselves on this principle who
exclude their own taxed people from
representation, If they will carry out
the principle We have no doubt that
Congress will recognize its paramount
obligation Cincinnati Gazette. L
