Princeton and the New Railroad.

The Princeton (Ky.) Banner, in
its last weeks issue, urged the PEG.
pie of that city to action in regard
to the /. A. &. T. r. r. and gave
some very cogent reasons why the
enterprise should secure liberal sup.
port from Princeton capitalists.
The Banner considered the Gordon
proposition good one, but was
very much in error as to the real
nature of the proposition. We will
point out the error to our Kentucky
contemporary in order that it may
better show up the advantages OF
the proffered investment. The Cor
dOn's wish to raise between Prince
ton and a point fifty miles south OF
GAINESVILLE, 100000, in subscrip-
tons, not to the stocks, but to the
bonds of the new railroad. In addi-
ton to this they offer to give $500
in stock to every taker of 81 900 in
bonds. About $1l7, 900 of the re-
quired amount has already been
taken in the city of GAINESVILLE and
more will be subscribed in this city
and Montgomery county. Only a
small amount will be left for Prince
ton and the capitalists of that city
will find it greatly to their interest
to invest. The bonds are to bear
six per cent. interest and will be
secured by mortgage on the road
and loo, 900 acres of mineral lands.
Snch an offer for investment is
not likely to go begging, and the
small amount left for Kentucky to
subscribe will be taken somewhere,
if not in Princeton. The import
ance of having this road to cross the
Chesapeake & Ohio at Princeton
should not be lost sight of by the
people OF that city. We say to have
it cross there, because it may almost
be regarded as a fixed fact that the
proposed railroad will at no distant
day be built through from Evans
vile to Mobile and, as we have re-
peatedly urged, will be one of the
most important thoroughfares in
the South, if not in the Union.
Princeton would profit greatly from
being made the junction of two i'm
portant roads, and having increased
travelling and transportation facili-
ties North and South, but it would
be a deadly blow at its prosperity
to have that junction located at
some point on the Chesapeake &
Ohio to the east or west of that city.
The matter will be fairly present
ed to them by the committee APP
pointed here and the people of
Princeton will be greatly in their
own light if the small amount re-
manning is not readily subscribed.

THE people along the line of the
proposed new railroad south of this
point seem to be alive to its import
ance. A meeting was held at Dick
son Station last week at which
much interest was manifested. A
committee was appointed to secure
the right of way and an invitation
extended to Judge Wood to address
the people of that section in regard
to the proposed road at his earliest
convenience.

ton theinjured party may recover
ten times the amount or damage

dict is rendered in favor of the State,
they shall fix penalty of not less

imposed on the defendant. Actions
to recover damages must be COM
menced within six months after the

the LIST of next July. The cOnmiss-
toner's shall agree on a tariff ofrates,
which shall be posted at all depots,
and no deviation is allowed there
