Railroad Meeting.

A meeting was called Friday eve
ming to meet Hon. w. P. CUTLER, Presi-
dent of the M. and G. R. R., and hear
his proposals in regard to the construc-
ton of our railroad. A large number
of our citizens assembled at Aleshire' S
Hall, and organized by the choice of
CHAs. CREUzET, as Chairman, and H.
M. ONDERDoNK, Secretary.
Mr.. CUTLER was then introduced to
the meeting, and after some remarks
on the nature and benefits of railroads,
made aproposition on the part of the
Marietta R. R., in regard to building
the proposed road from Hamden to the
Ohio river.
The plan, in few words, is that, if
Meigs and Gallia counties raise $780,
900 by subscription, the Marietta r.
R. agrees to build railroad from
Hamden to strike the Ohio river at the
mouth Of Campaign Creek, coming
down the valley of chat creek, and run
ming from its mouth down the Ohio, to
a point opposite Point Pleasant, and
thence to Gallipolis; also a branch up
the Ohio, from the mouth, of Campaign
to Pomeroy, making in all line of 50
miles. Those who subscribe, will re-
ceive for their money, invested, bonds
of the Marietta R. R., payable in 80
years, and bearing 7 per cent interest,
the interest for the first three years to
be paid by additional bounds, after
wards in cash. These bonds will be
secured by mortgage on the road to
be built.
This route down Campaign has been
selected, because it is the most practi-
cable of the three surveyed, and will
be the most apt to effect cooperation
between the conflicting interests of
Meigs and Gallia counties, without
which cooperation it is thought i'm
possible to raise the money to build the
road.
This, in brief, is the plan proposed
to our county. The 100000 to be
raised will probably be divided equally
between Gallia and Meigs, so that by
subscription of $35O,OOO our county
can insure the completion of the road,
# Meigs subscribes like sum. Mr..
CUTLER had made the same proposition
at Pomeroy, and a committee had been
appointed to take it under considera-
ion.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. CUTLER
addressed the citizens of Cheshire upon
he same subject, and, we are glad to
earn, awakened an interest in behalf of
he enterprise, which is hopeful for its
uccess.-

ject, and to solicit subscriptions.
and give all necessary information
upon the necessity Of the project to
the interests of this county.
The Committee also recommended
public meeting to be held at the
Fair Ground this day "wednesday,
at which time Sub Committees will
be appointed, and other efforts made
to expedite active work in behalf of
the great Railroad enterprise-the pro-
ceedings of which will be given next
week
Mr.. Cutler signifed to the Com
mittee his ability to break ground
Tor the Railroad in thirty Days, il the
money is subscribed.
The Committee, after q session Of
two hours, adjourned.

BURGLARY.-Some rascal broke in
to the residence of Mr.. FRANK Che
NEY on Third Street, last Friday
night, effecting an entrance by climb
ing on the kitchen roof, and breaking
through an upper window. The
thief ransacked the house, and had
some $500 worth of clothing, &c.,
piled up ready to carry off, before he
was discovered. Mrs. CHENEY was
finally awakened by a noise in her
room and gave the alarm, when the
fellow decamped, having secured
only $40 in money. No clue to the
thief has yet been obtained.

Railroad Meeting.

A large meeting of the citizens oil
Gallipolis was convened upon few
hours notice, at Aleshirc's Hall, on
Thursday evening, September 18th.
On motion of Geo W Livesay,
NJ. D., Charles Creuzet, Esq, was
called to the chair, and Henry NJ.
Onderdonk, Esq, appointed Secre-
tary.
The Chairman stated the object of
the meeting, and introduced VIM. P.
Cutler, Esq, Vice President of the
Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad,
who clearly, forcibly and prac-
tically laid before the meeting
the importance and utility of a
branch road from the mouth of Ka-
nawha to Hamden, with laterals ter
m;nating respectively at Pomeroy
and Gallipolis. He then made the
proposition that if the citizens of
Gallia and Meigs counties would sub
scribe 100000 for the construction
of this road, which would cost COM
plete, according to the estimate of
the engineer, some 100000, that
the Marietta and Cincinnati Compa
ny would furnish the balance of the
money, build the road, and run it
All subscribers to the capital stock,
he stated, should receive the bonds
of the Company, secured by mort
gage upon the branch road and upon
which the Company would pay an
interest of seven per centum, semi
annually, thus making it a practical
and legitimate business transaction.
After Mr. Cutler concluded his re-
marks, the following resolution was
moved, seconded and passed unani-
mously, viz:
Resolved, That a Committee of
twelve. be appointed by the chair to
consult amongst themselves and
with the people in reference to the
proposition of VIM. 2. Cutler, Esq
Vice President of the Marietta and
Cincinnati Railroad, to construct a
branch road upon the route and in
the mode he suggests, and to devise
and carry out plan to raise the
money required of Gallia county and
to report their action at the earliest
practicable period to meeting of
the citizens to be convened for that
purpose.
The chair appointed the following
Committee, viz:
E. Deletombe, G. W.Livesay,
r. Aleshire, R. Black,
Jno. Hutsinpiller, VIM. Shober,
