To the Taxpayers of Augusta:

| A vote will be taken on the 9th for a sub
| scrlption by the county of 100000, to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. 4 o'i e
Look sharp, or you will have burden
thrown upon you, that will greatly embarass,
1t not crush you.-
There are some noisy advocates of this
scheme; and it may be well for you to enquire,
who OF them reside out of the county, and
how much of this tax, will be paid by those
who reside in the county; and without assail-
ing their motives, or doubling their disinter-
estedness, say to them, that you will take care
OF your own interests, and that they may mind
their own business. ia.
In view of the lamentable condition of the
country, threatening your destruction, who of
you, are willing to part with large portion of
your hard earnings, and place it in the hands
OF others, without voice to control its desti-
nation. Until Government is resestablished,
and you again have security for your rights,
you would be wise to retain until little is left in
your own hands, and manage it in your own
way. 7h] g asfl- ~ q go osa.i q =
But what will be done if the subscription be
made? The county will execute her bonds for
100000, and if they are to avail at all in the
construction of the road, they must be put into
market, or passed to contractors for making the
road. 1t to contractors they cannot afford to
take them for more than the market price, and
if put into market, amidst the general distrust,
national, State, county and individual if they
would sell at all, it may well be doubted wheth-
er they would command twenty-f five cents in
the dollar. There is no money, In the country
to invest in that way, and foreign capital will
not venture in such stock.
/, What then have you! A debt of $500 900
fastened upon you, which must be paid sooner
or ater+-and what haye you for it2 Fifty or
