The same day Senator SHERMAN made q
speech 10 the businessmen OF Cincinnati,
and in that speech referred TO the new pro-
ice, in the following terms:
.tThcre is another railroad in which
have always felt the deepest interest because
have often teen compelled to traverse the
section of country through which 1t Is TO
Ifa,s IN the slow.m0ying steamboat or some
still slower mode Of conveyance. That road
is the one projected 10 run through the val
ley Of the Onio. ] hope the time is not far
distant VIII, the people Of Cincinnati will
accomplish The building Of a railroad on the
north bank Of The Ohio river"
These are good signs, but signs only.
They indicate what may be, not what will
certairly be.
We learn from good authority that com.
pany was to DC organized yesterday, and
that u contract had already been prepared
providing for the completion by January
next Of d railroad from Columbus to Ports
mouth. At Piketon. between Portsmouth
and Columbus, it will connect with q pro.
iected railroad, also about to he built, from
that place to Marlborough, and on to Cincin-
matt. Thus if the Chesapeake and Onio can
ouly reach Portsmouth with its connections
it vii! be in communication with Columbus,
Chlicothc, CirceTille, Ncnia, Chicago, St.
Louis, and everywhere else, we may say.
The trouble is to get TO Portsmouth.
