and were quite as willing to enter into
any project TO accomplish this end. A
consultation with some OF the most
enterprising and wealthy citizens of
that city has developed the fact, that
while at the present time it would be
lnezpedlent to agitate the construc-
ton of railroad on large scale, yet
hovse-rallroad be tween Boonville
and Evansville via the old canal, is
not only practicable but highly expe-
dent, and that the stock for such a
road would be speedily taken This
road could be easily and cheaply con-
structed. Running, as it would, for
the greater part of the way on the
tow-path of the canal, but little grad
ing would be required. 1t is the
opinion of those best calculated to
know, that the expense of making
this road would not exceed that of
constructing plank or maeadamized
one, while it would be infinitely more
beneficial.
On this road can be placed a suf-
| fcient number of cars to convey pas
engers and all the products to be
moved in Warrick County, and In re-
turn bring back freight for our mer-
chants. These cars can be propelled
either by mules or small steam en-
| CINE, such as is now being introduced
on many of the roads in Eastern
cities. We understand that these en-
gines are fast taking the place of mule
or horse power all over the country,
and that they are much more service
able, and cheaper In the end. They
will run eight to twelve miles an hour.
carrying the load of many horses, and
the expense of running them is merely
nominal.
Aside from the comfort experience
ed in riding in warm and comforta-
BILE car to and from Evansville, (the
distance is but eighteen short miles
running down the old canal,) and a
daily mail, all kinds Of freight such
as corn, wheat, butter, pork, baled
hay, tobacco, etc.. would find speedy
transportation and ready market in
that great commercial city. In return
our merchants would receive cheap
and safe freightage for al kinds of
merchandise.
We hope our citizens will arouse
themselves 20 their true interest, and
commence this road at once The
merchants and property holders of
Vanderburgh County will do their
, full share in forwarding the move
ment We hope to hear from the
Evansville press on the subject, and
we invite discussion, through our col
umns, Of all persons interested.

For many years it has been mani
fest to every intelligent citizen of
Warrack County, and especially to
those residing in the central aud up
per townships, that their future pros
perity depended in a great measure
upon some new outlet for their pro-
ducts, and some cheap and speedy
means Of conveying to market. A
railroad, starting from Evansville and
running into the interior of Warrick
aud Dubois Counties, intersecting
the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad, has
been earnestly talked about, but ow-
ing to the great scarcity OF money In
this part of the country. ii will, doubt
less, be many years before the project
will be got underway.
