The Nashville Railroad,

The, following correspondence APP
peared in the Henderson Reporter OF
last week. We sincerely hope that the
monied men. of Henderson, who are
abundantly able to do so, will respond
to the call made upon them by Gen.
BOYLE for the money to purchase
the iron. Evansville stands ready
and anxious to "render the aid she
promised" IF Henderson fails in
this critical juncture, we hope Gen.
BOYLE and the Railroad Compa ny
will procure the legislation asked by
our City Council, making Evansville
the northern terminus of the Road,
when this city will promptly furnish
all the aid that is asked Of both Hem
derson and Evansville:
The following are the letters:

people of our city will purchase some
one hundred of the city bonds-the
President of the road promising to
raise one half of the money to pay
for The iron necessary to. build to that
point. The question Is, will our, eiti-

pledge myself. to invest every dollar
for which the bonds are sold In iron
and have it placed upon this end Of

company to invest the money In that

lay down the iron as soon as it is de-

time to act. Respectfully,
GRANT GREEN.
We have not space in this issue for
the entire letter, and only give the
following extracts. The letter in full
will be made public in a few days:
HoPKINsvILLE KY,
Jan. 30. 1868.
Grant Green, Esq, Henderson, Ky:
My DEAR SIR: A few days after [
parted with you at Frankfort, had
an offer of 1900 tons of iron, at S25
per ton, delivered at Evansville, Ind.
Now, with this amount of rail we can
lay the track to Slaughtersville, In
Webster County, and easily extend it
to Prathersville, in Hopkins County.
With this much work done on the
North end, with what we have and
will accomplish at the South end, and
proceeding pdri pdSsu with both
ends, we will soon meet in the center.
Can we buy the 800 tons of rail? IF
you can raise at Henderson, on the
bonds of the city, one-half the
amount, [ will contrive to raise the
other half. Can you sell enough of
h0 I1f 10 10 - T.1
the result?
1 should feel Tgreatly gratifed if
you could remove the " hitch" or
trouble, or Dissatisfaction, or whatever
it is. at Henderson, and get the bonds
of Henderson in condition to sell, and
sell enough to pay for one half of the
l 800 tons of iron. Can you do this?
Ii the money is not realized on the
bonds, you must wait until we can
build from this end to you; for all
the means we have are to be applied
here to reach the Coal Mines and
jacksonville. Very soon all the
business Of Hopkins, Webster, &c, /
will be coming In this, direction.
Adams Express will ruA a line of
wagons, and Thomas & Co. will run
the finest four-horse coaches daily to
Madisonville, Cadiz, and Princeton.
The travel and business of the whole
country will sweep in this direction,
and pass over our road. Hender-
son and Evansville must suffer
more from this loss of trade
and travel, even if it is Temporal
ry. What is their loss will be the
gain of others, and the result In good |
to the public. But if you will sell
bonds and pay for half of the iron,
and Evansville will render the aid
she has promised, the travel and trade |
will be divided, and Henderson and
Evansville will retain control of the
country which has so long been tri-
butary to them. I hope for your suc-
cess, and shall be glad if you can
very early report favorably to me. [ |
can not expect the offer of the iron
to be held open long. I trust that
you will be able to give me a favorable
answer next week.
1t Is my purpose and my expecta-
ton to be in Henderson within 10 or
20 days
Grateful for your services to the
railroad, and hopeful of your success,
L am with great respect,
Your friend and ob't serv't,

Pres't E., FL & N. r. r.
