~ In railroad matters, the watch
word is still, Onward. Messrs. JACK
SON and ONDERDoNK spent three days,
last week, in portions of Addison and
and Cheshire townships, and were sue
cessful in increasing the subscription
to the loan to the amount of SIT, 800.
These gentlemen are indefatigable in
their labors in behalf of this great en-
terprise; but it is impossible for them
to go over the whole ground, as their
private interests need a good share of
their time; it is hoped, therefore, that
the local township committees will con-
tinue their labors, and actively press
this important matter upon the consid-
Grafton of their ncighbors. From
Meigs county we have positive assur
ance that the needed amount there will
be raised. Let Gallia county come up
to the demands made upon her, and
the road is secured.
The late contract entered into by
and between the Commissioners of
West Virginia and Virginia, and the
Virginia Central Railroad Company,
ensures early work upon the extension
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
to the river, and its active prosecution
until completed. Let us, therefore, see
to it that our part of this great through
line, from the West to the sea-board, is
secured and built. We will never re-
gret our labors and expenditures it its
behalf, after it is completed, as it will
bring us such business activity and
commercial Importance as to repay us
fourfold.

GALLIA ACADEMY.

The winter term of this institution
commences on Monday, the 10th of
December instant.
GEO. L. Mills, A. NJ, is the Prin-
cipal, assisted by corps of teachers
equal to those of any other similar
in stitution in the West Mr.. MILLS
has been in charge for the last term,
and has by his success shown him
self in every way qualified for his
position, both as teacher and man
ager. The Trustees can, therefore,
assure those having children to be
taught, that no other school is, or can
be better provided with teachers.
All the English branches are
taught, as alse, Latin, and Greek,
and French, and German. The
French and German teacher is ma
tive of Switzerland, (where she was
educated and where she taught for
some years, and comes here highly
recommended. No other school pre-
seats better facilities for learning
French and German. Music is also
taught.
Special attention is given to boys
wishing to fit themselves for college,
as well as to those preparing them
selves for common school teachers.
No efforts are omitted in either of
these branches, nor indeed in any.
. The library and philosophical ap-
paratus give this institution advan-
tage for teaching and learning, over
any other in this portion of Ohio
The institution is also supplied with
maps, charts, plates and globes, for
illustrating the various branches of
learning.
The tuition charged is very low,
as no more is charged than will pay
the teachers; as the Academy is not
private speculation; the Trustees
are the managers of a fund, and nei-
ther they, nor any others, can have
any private interests to subserve in
the success of the school.
The Trustees can, therefore, assure
parents having children. to educate,
that they will fud no better and
cheaper school for them.

Pres. of Trustees.

LIZ Mr.. CUNNINGHAM, one of the
Commissioners from West Virginia,
was in town last Friday, on his re-
turn home from the meeting of the
Commissioners of Virginia and West
Virginia with the Central Railroad
Company, at Richmond, the week
previous. The contract for the ex-
tension of the road to the Ohio river
was signed by all the contracting
parties, and upon terms so favorable
to the Central road, that an early
commencement of the work, and its
sctive prosecution to completion, is
considered certain.
The Richmond Dispatch furnishes
the following as the substance of the
contract. 1t will be seen that the
contract varies somewhat from the
agreement of six months ago, in
that it reduces the minimum sub
scription from $4,000, 900 to SO, ,5Oo,-
900, and further, that subscriptions
may be received for the construction
of the work continuously from either
end of the llne This latter feature
will obviate the great objection OF
the Western counties to subscribing.
Resolped, That the Board of Direc-
tors be instructed to enter into new
contract with the Commissioners OF
Virginia and West Virginia for the
construction of the Covington and
Ohio railroad, with the following
stipulations:
l.. The work to be commenced
and completed in the time and man
ner provided in the charter.
2. The company to guarantee four
per cent. semi annual dividends upon
