Tai! Railroad. The project of building a line of railway from Greensbnrg :y the way of Columbus, Nashville, iiloomington and Bloomiield, to intersect one of the great thoroughfares to St. Louis, is one whose inaptitude and importance can scarcely be realized. Such a route would certainly be the most direct from Cincinnati, and the last to tin; very heart of the Great "West, (St. .Louis.) forming a successful competing line with the Ohio and Mississippi and the Indianapolis and Terre Haute roads, with decided advantages over either, being the shortest, and passing through 6orae of the largest inland towns and cities, while not affected so much by the cheaper rates of steamboats on the rivers. In addition to this, the road through this State would, ir. great part, penetrate a large section of country, now without railroad facilities,and teeming with inexhaustible mines of ore, coal, stone and timber, while at the same time raising as much corn, wheat' and other grains for market, as an y other belt of equal extent in this, or any other State. Deeatnr, Bartho oniew, and Monroe, with their abundant

crops, Brown, Greene, Owen Clay and Sullivan, with their Stone, Timber, Coal and Iron, would produce a local trade that alone would render the road a profitable one to its managers. Indeed, no further guarantee would be required than the fact that it would be strictly ari East and West line. The experience of all railroads has been, that almost any line of railway extending from East to West pioves a profitable investment, though North and South, and frequently d agonal

lines end in failures or

pay the nrst investments. t5y a glance at the Geography :f the country it will be perceived ' hat to carry the line to Vincennes or even to Terre Haute, we have a perfect cut off from the more northern route by the way of Indiai apolis, or the "Southern one via the O. & M. Road, being at Bloonington abont sixty miles from either by which there will be no competition between then as to local pat 'onage. We have Sf.id this much as tc the general advantages anil prospects of the project, only that th(

glance might convev some idea of

the importance of the scheme, not only to us as citizens of this particular section of country, but us citizens of a great State, interested iD its fullest development. But it is its local necessity anc importance that most strongly demands our attention and command our efforts, and on this point we ear add little that has not heretofore been said in our columns. It wil open up to railway facilities a rich gtrtion of Decatur, Bartholomew rown, Monroe, and all othe? coun ties through which it may pass

enhance the value of their land.:

and the price of their products. I ;

will also cut down the ei cessiv ! freight and passenger rates of th ! railways upon which the counties are now dependent, and whiei, from the absence of competition, charg; just what they please, not what the should. Theso two facts alone will be of invaluable beaelit to th ; country to its fai aiers,its merchant' , its manufactories, and its mechanic!. Just now, we have not the loom t eiucidate, nor is it even necessary . Common sense, aided by a Untie oh -

servation teaches us all the truth cf

these facts. Columbus Bulletin,

Wc can't have too many Railroads. They open up and develope the country. They give us new markets. Tlicv make the markets accessible.

They give u.- conijietition between

lines, therefore increase cue value oi all rnal property. Tiey tranaforui dull villages into bustling cities. Tiiey lill your stores with customers' ; your" empty houses with tenants ; your vacant lota with liou.ses, and "swecniod" pocket books with greenbacks.
