ImDOrtant Railroad Movement.

A special dispatch, of date of February
"a, from Newark, Ohio, to the Cincinnati
Gazette gives the proceeding of large and
spirited meeting in the former place of del
egates representing various counties inter-
ested in the construction Of a railroad from
the lake shore to the South Atlantic sea-
board. JEROME BUCKINGHAM, Esq, of
Licking county, was chosen president, and
committee on business, composed Of prom
inent citizens, was appointed This COM
mittee reported the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the advantages to the
State Of Ohio of connecting the Northern
lakes with the Southern Atlantic States by
railroads through the great mineral region
of the Hooking valley is becoming SO palpa-
bic to the people North and South that we
deem it Of the greatest moment that meas
ures should be taken without delay to insure
such desirable result
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
convention the most efficient method Of at
tanning this end would be for the three roads
from the North now aiming for the Hook
ing valley to all unite somewhere in that
valley, SO as to have a common interest in
connecting with the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad from Norfolk wherever it or any
lateral branch thereof may strike the Ohio
river Or approximate the same and also to
be ready to unite in connection by the most
practicable route with the contemplated
roads to Knoxville, Tennessee
The dispatch referred to says:
This connection would put us in direct
communication with the States of Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennessee and Kentucky. Speeches
were made by General Wright, Messrs.
Maginnis. Curtis, Follett, Underdonk,
Chapman, Shryook, Jackson and jenkins,
all insisting upon the importance Of this
movement, which looks to the extension Of
the routes from Toledo, Sandusky and Cleve-
land through the central parts of the State
to the roads now in construction or contem-
plation to Norfolk, Knoxville and other
places.
It was insisted by several gentlemen that
the coal fields in Perry county through
which these roads pass, are sixteen feet in
thickness, and of superior quality, while
the iron, embracing about four hundred
square..miles, furnishes ore equal to any in the
United States.
A committee was appointed to issue ar
address to the people Of Ohio, and to take
such other measures as may be deemed nee.
essary to advance the objects in view.
This is another of that series Of impor
tant movements destined to make Virginia
the grand thorougfare Of trade and trave
for the great West.
