SHIOAuO TO CHANLESTOS-lHES SENTI-
MENT OF THE Press The Delphi (In-
disna) Times speaks as follows of the
Chicago add South Atlantic Railroad:
"The company desire to commence ope-
rations about ahe 1st OF April, and Il,
they ask no money from the people
until the work is completed, the follow
ing remarks seem to the point. This is
fair, and VIC ought to put sufficient con-
! ddence in the officers OF the road to, at
least, raise our quota SO us to be ready
when the work IL progressing to pay as
| fast as it is lawful to do so. The work
OF raising local aid will be commenced
in Lake, Jasper. White, Clinton, Boone,
ln our County (CarrolD we yet lack q
shnre made up. This we eau raise by
teres:ed will bs prompt in doing their
duty. This, we feel safe in saying, viii
be- tho line Of policy Of our citizens.
We want ths road, aud ought to have 1t
if u greater sacrifice is necessary in The
way of subsidies aud taxes than hus
! herntnfor" been asked Of us will secure
it."
On the a 40 subject. tho Mt. Vernon
along the proposed liuo Of tho Chicago
and Soaih Atlantic Railroad imagine
that the sky viii fall aud let them catch
railroad lark, they will learn, ono OF
these days, that the proposed Iine ha,
been changed. and that tEeir neighbors
have. by the exercise Of IL little energy,
caught the lark while they vera waiting
for the sky to fall. The Chicago aud
Sonth Atuutic Railroad would be of far
moro value to the inhubitunts Of this
County thnn my other that could be
built. The country West OF US has en-
tered the New Orleans market III u for
midnble competitor III tue huy trade. In
y few yenrs, we will find ourselves
crowded to the wall. II this raiIrond
should be built, IL new market, that our
RI Vals could not reach as chenply as we,
would be opened, aud our hny trade
would be placed on u sure basis. Every
one acquainted with the huy trude
knows that much of the hay sent down
the river is afterwards sent from New
Orleans East. Tne construction of this
road would give US this trade to our
selves. But it is necessary that we should
do something, if we would gain these
great advantages.
The Asheville IN. o. Weekly Pioneer
says: "The corporhtors of the Green
vile aud French Drond Railroad should
not full, under any consideration. to
come togetherat this place on Thursday,
tho 18th of next month, aud organize
the company. It is uIl important that
they should organizs tho compuny ut
once. In these corperutors is repOsed
IN important trust, aud if they fail to
discharge their duty promptly, those
who ere directly interested in this great
work will certainly hold them RESPONSE
bio for such neglect. The people of
South Carolina are moving in this direc-
| ton. The Legislature Of the Stute has
made such amendments TO the South
