The above are the other available re.
sources of the company, that X. Y. Y. is
10 sanguins over. said nothing about
that portion Of the road in Rails county.
l know that is oil right, end will, in very
short time, be completed to Louisiana,
aud thence extended down the Missis-
sippi river. / said there was some good
coal in the county. Mr.. X. Y. r., you,
as usual, dodge the question and drag in
the acts Of somebody else to create false
s, X. Woolfdk's integrity
aud D. T. Waddy's business capacity have
held the frst position in nearly every
article that has been written BY you and
your co Pa-%.ero of i..e. TI.r. ave-
other men Of integrity, and if they lack
capaci.y,I presume one can be bought
that will answer probably as we'll as his.
You critic,se my legal abilities, when
l was not aware that l possessed such
things. You say I am chtvaleoss and
patriotic, but advise me to keep cool.
You seem to be judge of legal abilities.
Perhaps you have been taking lessons
uudor q certain legal gentleman, who, If
all accounts be true, now dwolls in the
classic city of Troy, or perhaps you may
be that legal gentleman himself, since
you appear to be so adverse to war, aud
advise wrapping up IN the American
fag and retreat (uot to fort Hamilton)
but to the couch" With bombast and
ostentation you tell US you have inves.
tigated, and the means to grade, bridge
and tie the road through Pike county is
sufficient, when you are fuliy aware Gf
you have Investigated as you say you
havc) that the company has not got n
dollar 10 Pike county, except on the
chartered line by Louisiana aud Clarks-
vile. You speak somewhat in "oraca
lar" style, aud, from past experience, Of
course we cannot give your remarks much
credit for truth. Give Us some facts
"stern facts, facts that will cut and clash,
as your classical friend, Q. U. f., ex
pressed it few months ago. If the
company has ample means, and the Di,
rectors have no fears in consequence oi
their very critical position, why this
eternal running to Louisiana aud Clarks
Vile, and appointed meetings every few
days in St. Louis? and Why these pro
posals for compromise? The people o.
this county feel like their most superla-
lively efficient board is being dupsd ou
of a few hundred thousands, oil at tn
peoples expense.
There arc few facts that our Tro,
directory, in its blind zeal, seems to hav
entirely overlooked. A light engine, oil
tho river route, will draw 400 tons from
Keoknk to St. Louis in about St hours
the same engine on the grades aud curve
by Troy will draw l4O tons in about
hours. The Hannibal and St. Joe road
with all it's tributaries, to Kansas city
Atchison, Leavenworth and all point
in northern Kansas to Council Bluffs
Omaha and all Nebraska and the wester
territories; the c. B. and Q road, witt
all tributaries through northern Iliinoi
and Wisconsin; the Des MONIES Vale,
road, and the northern roads runnin
from St. Paul down through Miuncsot
and Iowa to Keokuk, will all concentrat
their immense freights upon some gran
trunk road to st. Louis. Time and CO
pacity are the great desideraia in rail
roading, and will compel tho building o
the road along tho Mississippi river.
You may oppress the people for
time, through your influence over tn
powers that be, but mark you, the tim
is not far distant when you will rue i,
The Quincy and St. Louia company viii
have the cars running to Louisian9 b.
Christmas. Circumstances will force th
immediate construction Of the road from
Frankfort to Louisiana, or direct fror
Hannibal to Louisiana. when blind mar
if be has the olfactories or instincts of
, hog, can see that tho building Of an inde
pendent line Of road down the MississpF
river and to St. Louis is an absolut
necessity. .. .'l.a MONROE.
