AS THERE seems to be some misun-
Outstanding among the friends Of the
railroad and the bridge in relation to
the terms of the act of the Legislature
authorizing the subscription, we call
attention to the following extract from
the law:
3. The right of the stock subscribed
for in pursuance OF the preceding sec
tons, or any special act of the Legsla-
ture hereafter passed, shall be vested in
the said city OF Wheeling, and the
Council thereof shall have authority
from time to time to appoint a proxy to
represent the said stock in the meetings
and elections to be held by the Stock
holders of the company. The dividends
on such stock shall be collected as the
City Council may order, and paid into
the city treasury, but before the subscrip-
ton authorized By this act shall be made,
said railroad company shall Fve a guar
antse to tue Council Of said city that ii
piN construct its road into said city, and
make It's eastern terminus and haze its
depot grounds and buildings thereon ,cithin
the corporate limits Of said city east Of the
east channel of the Ohio river.

or dispose ofa single bond, and the most
satisfactory and surest method Of gain
ing that information is the execution Of
a contract for the building and equip
ping the road at a specific sum per
mile. Was there ever q railroad built
in any other wayf
And then again it is objected that
there was no preliminary survey made
and neither the corporator nor the con-
tractor knew what would be the ex
pense of building road upon the route
proposed. 1t is true that no civil
engineer went over the route with COM
pass and chain, but for all that both the
cerporators and the contractor had
ample information concerning the pro-
bable expense, to enable them to act in
diligently in estimating the cost. Cen
tlemen of much practical experience in
railroad building did pass over the
whole Of the proposed line and make
report to the parties interested, and the
sum of $4,000 per mile was agreed
upon as just and equitable price to be
paid for the completion and equipment
of the road. That it is just about the
right figure may be judged from the
fact that here in Wheeling there are
two classes of anti.improvement men,
one of which contends that the price is
too much and the other that it is not
enough. The InteMgencer seems to be
afraid that the contractors will be too
well paid, while some of our citizens
think that the road cannot be built fol
the price proposed. This difference of
estimates may at least give rise to
presumption that the sum fixed in the
contract is very nearly right. The first
thirty miles Of the road from this city
will doubtless cost more than $50, 900
per mile, but the remainder of the road
runs through level country where the
cost Of construction will be much less
than in the portion nearest the Ohio
river. The Central Pacific railroad
was let to contract before any survey
had been made, and the course pursued
by the Wheeling and Lake Erie COM
pany in this respect is by no meane
unusual. Railroad building has been
red aced to science; there are construc-
ton companies organized in the Eastern
cities for this purpose alone, which
after obtaining general knowledge of
the character of the country through
which a road is proposed, can tell with
great accuracy what 1t will cost and are
ready to make contracts accordingly.
As regards the terms Of the contract
that has been entered into and the
present condition Of the subscription
lists, and the prospects Of the road
we have no doubt that Mr.. WooD
will very cheeriully render all the
information that may be desired by
any one who is either anxious or willing
to learn. 1t is hardIy.to be expected
however that he will notice the in
quiries Of ANONYMOUS correspondents or
take much more pains to inform the
editor of the Intelligsncer upon these sub
jects than has been already done.
There are none so blind as those who
will not see"

the relaxation Of nervous energy which creates
an indis position to physical CT mental effort, SO
strong as almost to amount to positive INABILITY,
and which we term lassitude, proceeds from
variety OF c,uses. The principal OF these are CON-
stitutional debility, heat OF the atmosphere,
coupled with humidity, climatic changes, aId the
phy sical prostration consequent upon long Ill
ness. But whatever the cause, 1t must be per-
rectly clear that II the nervous system Is unduly
relaxed something Is required 10 brace II up.
That something is HOSTElTER'S BlT1ERS,
which is universally recognized as the most com

ample of the manner in which tney ma
neurre. AS early as last June and July II
was known that the cotton crop OF ls7l-7z
must fall far short Of the crop Of The preced'
ing year. Every Southern newspaper teemed
with letters and articles showing that the
-crop could not exceed three or three and a
quarter millions. The Northern spectators
rldlculed these statements as poorly
planned scheme for running up prices, ana
the spectators contrived to keep down quo
tations until they had secured at least nall
the crop at much below it's true value. AS
the receipts fell of, the staple sharply ad'
yanced, and the New Yorkers candidly con-
fessed that the world must expect e very
small supply Of American cotton. But to
counteract tie effect Of this admission they
are now flooding Europe and the South with
circulars announcing that the crop OF
lS72-'73 will be five million bales. In this
way they are again forcing down quotations.
and unless the planters throughout tne
South come forward and tell the exact truth,
showing the backward condition OF agricul'
tural operations, and the practical impossi-
bility Of making this year crop OF either
five millions or four, the New Workers and
Liverpool men will shove cotton to fourteen
or fifteen cents, and make other fortunes at
our expense.
We have understood the game Of the COT
ton consumers from the beginning, and we
have seen only one way Of defeating them'
which is to encourage in every way tne puo-
l5cation and dissemination of trustworthy
information about the crops. For the last
three seasons we have sent circulars, at the
critical periods, to intelligent farmers and
planters in the different counties begging
them to advise US what was the area IN COT
ton and in breadstuffs as compared with pre-
ceding years, and what were the condition
and prospects OF the crops. We asked Tor
the information upon the broad ground that
itwas necessary to the successful and Intel
lieent action OF the Southern agriculturist,
and could only be obtained by concert Of
purpose. Perhaps one planter in twenty re-
Piled to our circulars. We published their
letters, and we contend that they gave our
planters more specific and general informa-
ton about the crops than has been given by
any other paper in the State. We have also
asked the county newspapers to print every
month short statement Of the agricultural
work and outlook in their respective Sec
tions, from which reports we might make
up similar statement for all South Caro-
lima. So far as we know, not single paper
acted upon this recommendation.
We make these explanations with the pur-
pose OF assuring Mr.. b. A. James and MS
friends that we shall do our best to secure
full and accurate information in regard to
the agricultural operations OF the State
And il two or three gentlemen, in each
county, would write to The NEWS, as he has
done, every month or so, there would be no
difficulty in giving the people all the partlcu'
lals about the crops that they either need or
desire.
