Rail Road from ChillicOthe to
Lancaster.

Lancaster.
The Chillicothe Advertiser is
folio wing up its suggestion as to
the propriety of building q rail
road from Chillicothe to Lancas.
ter by producing in the article
copied below, tho soundest rea-
sons for its opinion of the utility
of the project. We only wish it
was wholly true that the Lahcas-
ter and Newark railroad scheme
was in the condition stated by the
Advertiser; but it is 70 doubt true
that although its vitality is at
present seemingly dormant, cir
cumstanccs are very likclyto occur
that will awaken it into a life Of
such energy as will carry it to
completion with tremendous speed.
The article referred to is from
the Chillicothe Advertiser of the
4th inst, and is as follows:
To Columbus via Lancaster.
Our suggestions last week in
regard to making connection with
Columbus by way Of Lancaster,
instead of the valley, has excited
considerable comment, and found
much favor. The plan is con-
ceded to be practical and one which
can bc carried into immediate
execution. But aside from that it
is believed that'it will be a better
paying Investment than by way Of
the valley, because it will give us n
shorter route cast, and the best
connections in the State. The
Pennsylvania Central Road has
bought the Wilmington. road,
which has its terminus at Zanes-
vile. 1t is building a short line
from Dresden on the Pittsburgh
road, (Which has also passed un-
der its management } to GAINESVILLE,
with tho intention of running
through trains TO Cincinnati, over
the Wilmington road, being a
much shorter route than by Co.
lumbus and the Littlo Miami Road.
A road has also been laid out,
mostly graded, and will be pushed
forward rapidly, from Lancaster
to Newark. Therefore by going
to Lancaster we reach Columbus
and connect with the various i'm
pOrtant lines running into that city.
We will connect with the Central
Ohio at GAINESVILLE, over the Will.
mington road, making q consider
able saving in distance; We will
connect at Dresden with the Pitts
burgh road, giving us IL full hours
advantage in timc over the route
by Columbus: we will connect at
Newark with tho Central Ohio,
tho Pittsburgh, Sandusky and
Mansfield roads, by tho lattcr Of
which VIC will connect with theFort
Wayne and Chicago road at Mans.
field, for these points and the Far
West; at Shelby, with the G. G. &
G. Road for Cleveland; at Monroe
with tho Lake Shore road, and at
Sandusky, VIC have full advantage
of Lake Navigation, giving us
between Sandusky and Ports
mouth tho shortest and most di.
rect communication between the
Lakes and the River. Wo would
not only thus secure good conncc.
tions and shorten the distance east,
but have two direct avenues to
the Lakes through which We
could pour tho wealth Of our CO.
reals, and find cheap transportation
by water TO tho Eastern cities.
This projects now, but we be.
lievo it will grow into favor as
thought is expended upon it. Our
Waverly and Portsmouth friends
will please consider it and lot us
hear from them
