~-Covington and Ohio Railroad.

We have, On the best authority, some in
formation that makes the prospect of the
completion Of the contract for the early
construction Of this great road very good.
Interested persons-persons interested in
dissuading the company Of gentlemen, who
made the partial agreement with the COM
missioners in New York last spring, from
undertaking the completion Of the road
had made representations of the present
condition of the work upon the line that
were very unfavorsble, and it is probable
that their representations extended to
other matters, such as the nature Of the
ronte, prospects of the improvement, sc.
These busy bodies had succeeded in
making an impression tending to the aba,l-
donment the undertaking but the COM
pany, to be fair to the State and to those
prominent gentlemen who had treat
ed with them, and who gave such diff
ferent picture of the whole matter, caused
an investigation to be made, which mas
resulted in effacing all the effects OF the
unfavorable reports and arguments alluded
to. The company are therefore no" more
strongly inclined to undertake the enter
prise than at any previous time, and nave
redoub,ed their exertions to secure the
means which they, feel must be assured
before the act Of final signing OF the con-
tract. -
We hope these encouraging indications
NAV mt meet with any reverse, and that
,ha capitalists in question may complete
the contract in short time.
,aqhe Covington and Ohio railroad is really
the most promising work now projected in
tia United States. 1t will yield an i'm
mense revenue, and become one of the
most important arteries of communication
between the Mississippi Valley and the
Atlantic. Passing as it does through one
the richest mineral regions in the world
and reaching into the fertile and teemine
West, it within time be overwhelmed with
freichts. 1t viii have most important ad.
vantages over moro northern lines in dis.
lance, and in winter 1or months VIII nave
even greater advantages, because of the
comparatively mild latitude along which il
is located. Such u line, with only t,centy'
nine and a half feet grade to the mile
across the Alleghanies coming eastward
with the heavy freights, cannot fail to com
mand as much tonnage as it will probabl!
be able TO transport. aa
The capitalists having the chance to &C
quite this great line with gratuity 0
three millions, of dollars expended upoI

They should close the contract promptly
