Silver Anniversary of the X. OFF.
Special Correspondence Of he Sunday Register.
STEUBENVILLE, February "A rumor
was circulated soIne days ago by interested
parties to tie effect that Maj Or Anderson
and Col. Cook had despsiIed of Obtaining
the $50, GEO subscription necessary to have
the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad ex-
tended up the river from Portland TO this
city, and bad stopped soliciting. The
story was given some color because the two
gentleman were absent from the city for a
few days on business, but they are once
more on the ground, and instead of being
discouraged, are very sanguine that they
will succeed, and cay that if the move
ment is not a success it will not bs for lack
of effort on their part, as it is their pur-
pose 10 devote all the tina necessary to
the work. Every day that goes by makes
it more apparent that the bulldog Of the
road will be big thing for Steubenyille
and all persons having the interests Of
the city at heart should put their shoulder
to the wheel. The single fact that those
persons interested in the railroad already
here ere opposing the movement is evil
dence that they realizs it will result in a
lesIening of their revenues by reducing the
price of freight II doesn't require very
far-seeing eye TO note that the Ohio
Valley offers the greatest inducements for
q new railroad Of any section in the
country.
