County Correspondence.
Written for The Spirit of Democracy,
Railroad


Ed. SPIRIT: In viewing all that ha
been said in regard to the proposed
railroad through Monroe County, l have
come to the conclusion that it will cos'
less, make better road, and be far NOR,
profitable to the Company, if the Com
pany will consider the cost Of making
the road along Snuf-h Geek
What is the object of a railroad?
Ito nuke money.
2-To make the road where it viii
cost the least am ,unt of money.
3-To make the road waere the larg.
est amount Of pro luce can be gathere,i
as freight.
40 make the road as short as pos
sible, go as to save time and expense.
l think if the Company will consul
their ioteres,, ana the interest Of the
county, the proposed railroad should bs
built along the valley OF Sunfsh Creeh
to Cameron, thence an easy gyale uy
Atkinson's OF Pines Rim scross t.
Arm strong's Mis-.
Freight can be hanle1 from each side
OF Sunish Creek to the mouth OF Plny
and Cameron; il made across the coun
try to Bea!lsville the roal will lose the
freight from Cameron, New Castle, anG
along the south OF Suntish Creek.
There is abundance OF coal, timber
and stone on the Sunfish route.

@T The Baltimore Tobacco Commis-
sion Houses are- sending out rather
gloomy accounts OF the prospect for high
prices. They name Eve dollars a hun
dred as the highest safe price for average
crops Of Ohio tobacco, and discourage
The payment Of fancy prices for the finer
crope.
The Commission Houses have, of
course, superior opportunities for fore
casting the markets, but thereis reason to
believe that at this time in the year they
are inclined to work rather morein the in
terest OF the merchant than Of the grow
or. A little allowance should therefore
he made In receiving their estimates
Still we do not doubt that growers
must consent to sell considerably below
last years prices. 1t would hardly be
exaggerating to say that last years crop,
or what remains OF it, could now be
bought in Baltimore for about what was
paid for tito the growers in Ohio, Bn.
we believe that good crops will this year
realize more than the figure fixed By The
commission men-hve dollars per hun
dred.

EBfu the Jenner divorce suit just
ended in Detroit an expectant public
was nearly gra,i6ed by an authoritative
legal decision as to the length of the
honeymoon. The defendants counsel,
while cross examining Mrs. Jenner, ask

himself meekly and affectionately
through the honeymoon. To which in
quiry the counsel for Mrs. Jenner asked
how long period that was. The de.
PENDANTS counsel being unable to ans.

Court, and the audience waited anxious

The following from the correspond
ence Of the Pittsburgh Commercial, is
part of letter describing the county Of
Green, Pa, and the narrow-g gauge road
now in process Of construction from
Wayncsburs to WashingtoDs
The isolation of Green County, to-
gether with its population, wealth, pro-
ducts, &c, so nearly corresponds with
ours, that the letter. is almost as interest
ing to us as II written for this county:
This scclusion has wrought its natural
effect Being shut out from cheap ex-
changes has been found to be a serious
tax upon both production and consump-
tion, as well as the occasion of great
waste of time and the preventing of the
utilization OF manufacturing agencies,
out of which so much wealth is to be de
rived An uprising has accordingly ta-
ken place, and a. ~narrow.gange railroad
to Washington is already nearly graded.
The serious agitation of the subject OF
such an improvement only began last fall
Preliminary surveys were made, and ex-
perimental lines run last winters and
spring After laborious and thorough
examinations of several routes, fayora.
BILE one was discovered, which promised
facilities for construction of surprising
cheapness. Public meetings were held
