IGLEWRIs CORRESPONDENCE
CoLuMBus, O, April Is, 1872.

CoLuMBUs, o April 10, 1872.
EDS. SPIRIT: BY recent certificate
of Incorporation fled in the office OF
the Secretary of State, it is proposed to
build a railroad through the counties of
Muskingum, Guernsey, Noble and
Washington from GAINESVILLE by way of
Cumberland, and Carlisle, TO Marietta.
The Object of this road is to develop
the country through which it passes
and for that purpose alone it will be a
paying road. 1t will develop and open
Western outlet to the coal fields along
the east fork Cf Duck Creek.
Permit me to suggest that this road
is matter of great Importance to the
people of Monroe county, and by the
organization of company to build a
road from Carlisle through Monroe
County to ClaringtOn an eastern outlet
can he had for the produce sIong this
whole line and a Western trade opened
for our coal. The coal fields along
Sunfish Creek from Koehlers mill to
Clarngton are equal in quality and
quantity to that found on the east fork
of Dack creek. 1t is the same vein and
is of equal thickness and has equal IA
clities for mining. In addition to this,
there is five feet vein Of cement rock
easily worked at any point between
Henry Windland's mill and Cameron
and by sinking shaft at any point from
Koehlers mill to Darlington six feet
vein of coal can he reached within
one hundred and thirty feet and at
some points this vein can be reached
by hating sixty feet.
Tie road along the Ohio river must
he constructed within short time and
with these facilities for tie shipment OF
our trade, and the development of our
mineral resources, it seems to me that
some STEPS should be taken to provide
for this line of railroad.

that the ;uries which have been drawn

hundred and thirty eight prisoners, who
have been Illegally held at an expense
of from forty to fifty thousand dollars
which there is 10 law to provide the
payment OF, and to affect in the same
way all civil cases in which exceptions
we're taken to the legality Of the juries.
1t is said that twenty or thirty Of these
civil cases have been appealed to the
Supreme Court. The effect Of the Voor-
bees Bill is to make legal in the future
what the Court decides to day TO have
been illegal, and as the general senti
