EAST FORK RAILROAD.

We are indebted to the Richmond Tele
gram for an accoult Of the meetings re
Gently held along the East Fork for ia,
purpose Of recurring donations to the Rail
road which is proposed to be built along
that Valley. The meetings we're general,
well attended, aud very decided spirit
manifested in. behalf of the enterprise. Il
was stated at these meetings that dona
ton OF cue hundred thousand dollars tc
the parties proposing to build the road
would insure its construction aud thor.
oush equipment for business the coming
season. This donation is not required t.
be paid until the road is finished and
ready for business. The telegram says
a more liberal proposition, it seems to
VS., could not be asked by the people along
the White Water Valley. 1t takes away
'sll danger of loss by failure TO complete
the road. II such proposition had been
made aud accepted, When the road from
Richmouj to- Fort Wayne was first pro-
jccied, IN 1854, We should have had that
road 10 successful operation during the
last dozen Years, instead of sleeping the
sleep that seems to know no waking, US
il has been aud is now doing.
II the farmers Of the Valley do not ac-
cept aud act upon the proposition now
offered them they will certainly have
cuase to regret their want OF foresight and
enterprise ever after. As we have heard
the matter set forth, il is understood that
the proposed donation Of one hundred
dollars. when fairly appoitioned aloag the
line, will be required about as follows;
from Brookyillc to the south line Of I'm
i'm County, twenty five thousand dollars;
from the South line oil Union 20 the South
line Of Wayne County, fifty ihousand
dollar; and from The latter point to Rich
mond. twenty i've thousand dollars,
There is not an inteligen, reader Of this
article. who is at all.aequainted with the
character of the people living sloug this
White Water Valley, but who knows that
this money can be madc UP, and that in n
very few days, by even q moderate effort.
There are plenty of men who will be ready
To pay a thousand dollars each when this
road is completed, but there arc only a
few individuals FROM whom 70 much
-hould be demanded. Let every man in.
ieresisd give one or two hundred dollars
and it rs enough. We should not ride
the free horses to death. Tho road will
benefit all. and Mi should bear share Of
its cost. SO far as the Wayne caunfy as.
-essment is concerned, We can speak with
the fullest confidence; it will be ready
when called tor. Let there BIO immediate
action commenced, sll along the line.
Let there be meetings called In each Of

1t will be remembered that in re. Dis

Legislature many Of the Congressional
Districts were so changed as to leave but
two or three of the old counties in the Dis

entirely new counties SO tar as his person

with the fact that the District as now com

Republicans whose claims deserve the
highest consideration in nominating

cause Us 10 lose his valuable services to
the Union in the next Congress. Such a
loss would be almost irreparable, and we
are truly happy to be able to announce
that we are not now likely to be called
