RAILROAD MEETING.
The Northern and Southern West
Virginia Railroad

From the Clarksburg Telegraph.
A meeting Of the Corporators of the
Northern and Southern West Virginia
Railroad Company was held in the
Court House, in Clsrksburg, on Thurs
dav last, 4th inst Judge G. D. Cam.
den was elected President Of the meet,
ing, and Geo. c. Sturgis, Esq, Of Monon'

S. Northcott, Of Harrison were appoint
ed Secretaries.
Judge Camden, upon taking the chair
stated that the object OF the meeting
was to effect an organization Of the
company by electing officers, but upon
com pairing notes it was ascertalned that
there was not a sufficient amount o.
stock subscribed to warrant the legality
OF such a measure. He then urged
the importance of taking such steps as
would insure the speedy organization Of
the company, and Of prosecuting the
enterprise. ...-
Mr.. Sturgiss followed Judge Camden
in few welltimed remarks, stating for
the encouragement of the friends Of the
enterprise, that the citizens OF Monon'
gala county were jealous friends OF it
and would take stock literally He was
followed by w. Martin, Esq, Of Pitts
bursh, one OF the Directors OF the Pitts.
burgh, Virginia and Charleston rail
road, who made some'very pertinent re.
marks. After he had concluded, a
motion was made that Mr.. Martin be
invited to take seat in the meeting
and assist in its deliberations, which
was unanimously adopted. After con
siderable discussion as to the best meth.
cd of prosecuting the work successfully,
which was participated in by Messrs.
Bvrne, Martin, Despard, Golf, Camden
and Others, the following resolution
offered by Judge Camden, (Col. Byrne
in the chair) was adopted: ~.

as he may deem advisable, at least
three Of the corporators 70 open books

tons to the capital stock Of this COM
pany, aud that said persons report from
time to time to said President the
amount of stock subscribed, and that
the said President call a meeting of the
stockholders in this place whenever a
sufficient amount OF stock shall have

A CORRESPONDENT of the Pittsburgh
Commercial, writing from Tullahoma'
Tennessee, states that there are IN that
region almost daily visitors from Wheel
ing and vicinity and that there is con:
siderable immigration there from West
Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Why any person in West Vir-
siuia should wish to emigrate to Ten
nessee is more than we can understand,
unless it be to satisfy that insatiate
restlessness which is characteristic
of the average American.

Explosion.

Quite an excitement was created on
Saturday by an explosion and the
alarm" Of fire. -: At; the foundry OF
Messrs. Weirick Il Weller the casting
for the day had just been finished and
the cupola being emptied into its re,
ceiver. which from the incessant rains
had become nearly filled with water:
The particles of heated iron, and coal
falling into the water, generated steam
enough to throw some OF the projectlles
far more than hundred yards and
made report that was heard through
out the town. Fortunately no injury
was sustained. though serious results
might have ensued. Spirit Of JEFFERSON.

airy equipment, and accept in payment
therefor the same kind of security that
Ohio county is expected to receive for
her share of the expense. He don
want certificates of stock in the road
notwithstanding it is to be under his
management and it is TO be presumed
that he knows how to make railroad
nav. If the Pennsylvania Central
would 60 in and share alike with Ohio
county in the profits OF the road, we
would have pretty substantial guarsn:
tee that the investment would
be paying one and that
handsome dividends would rapidly
accrue. But Mr.. SoorT must have bonds
secured by mortgage upon the properly
Of the road. He will expect to receive
interest annually or seml-annusily,
upon the sum represented by the bonds
and, il the profits of the business OF
the road are not sufficient to pay that
interest, it will have to be paid from
some other source; or else the mortgage
will be foreclosed, the road sold for
whatever it will bring. and our certifi,
Gates Of stock may become waste pa,
per. '.,....... ...... ...... F..
We do not say that all this wiH occur
but there il a manifest, possibility that
it may, in which case our subscription
would become a virtual donation to the
road. The indirect advantages result
ing from its construction would, OF
course, remain the same no matter
what became of our one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, and though our
stock might be worthless still the
road would be there. 1t would proba-
bly, be we'll, therefore, for the people OF
the county when voting upon the pro
position to dismiss from their minds all
expectation OF the stock proving valua-
bic in ITSELF and make the subscription
solely for the sake OF the commercial
advantages to be secured by bringing
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad into
close and direct competition with the
Baltimore and Ohio. If it does better
than that, well; if not, we need not be
disappointed. At all events, let us vote
with our eyes open and after careful
investigation Of both sides Of the case.
1t is proper to add that the mere fact
ofvoting the subscription will not neces-
sarily compel the Board Of Supervisors
to pay over the money upon the terms
proposed. 1t will be within the power
as it will be the duty Of the Board to
investigate the matter still more closely
and guard the county as perfectly as
may be against any loss. 1t is possible
that some guarantee may be obtained
for the protection of the interests ofthe
county, and some other conditions than
those now made public may be offered.
IT, in their opinion, the investment
would prove bad one, taking the whole
case into consideration, the Board may
refuse to make the subscription. The
vote to be taken on the Goth is merely
to authorize the Supervisors to sub
scribe if they think it advisable TO dose.
We trust the people of the county will
think about the matter, talk it over
among themselves, and vote as they are
willing to abide. .. ..

THE RAILROAD SUBSCRIPTION.

We published yesterday morning what
appeared to US to be the principal rea-
sons in favor of voting a subscription
of one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars to the capital stock Of the Pitts
burgh, Wheeling and Kentucky rail
road We would not be dealing fairly
with our readers, however, did we fail
to mention any of the arguments that
may be adduced to show why the sub
scription should not be made. The
proposition is one of considerable i'm
portance to the ax-payers Of the county,
and every man who desires to vote in
diligently upon the question must ex-
anime both sides and determine which
is preferable for the general good.
In the first place, what will it cost !?
The total valuation ofreal and personal
property available for taxation for coun-
ty purposes in Ohio county, may be
sta,sd, in round numbers, at Fifteen
Millions of Dollars. This is nearly &C
curate, at least sufficiently so for the
purpose of this calculation. OF this
sum, one hundred and fifty thousand,
the proposed subscription, is exactly one
per cent, or one dollar on the hundred
We are paying this year, Tor county
purposes alone, tax of ninety cents on
the hundred dollars and find it pretty
heavy burden. 1t is not likely that the
ordinary county levy next year will be
quite SO heavy as this, neither do we
presume that the total amount Of our
railroad subscription would have to be
paid in a single year. 1t will probably
be distributed over several years, the
county paying interest on the deferred
portions, but it will all have to be paid
eventually, one per cent. Of the total
value of taxable property in the county
being given as the price Of the benefits
purchased by the construction OF the
road.
But, are we quite sure that this is all
we have to pay? We Believe that the
estimate is made simply to the city line,
somewhere in the vicinity of the Top
Mill. If the depot is to be built at any
point convenient to the central or bust
ness portion Of the city, the right Of way
along the river shore will have to be
procured, or tunnel constructed under
Mount Wood in order to bring the road
down Wheeling Creek. We are not
able to furnish any estimate of what
additional outlay would be necessary
for these purposes. Probably the city
would be called upon to pay some
portion of the cost, and possibly
something might be raised by private
subscription. But it is no more than
fair to include these expenses in the to-
tai cost Of the road, and add them to
the subscription that is asked from the
county. ~ 's ..'---s-'
To be sure, in return foe. .onr one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars we
are to receive certificates of stock in the
railroad, and, in addition to the indirect
advantages derived from cheap freights,
the county will participate in whatever
profits may accrue from the business of
the road. But here occurs a difficulty
The road will 20 into operation heavily
in debt. MrlTHoNAs A. Scorr Of the
Pennsylvania Central, is not willing to
put down the ties, rails and sidings, and
build the depots and furnish the neees'
