From TudirtD»poU» 3?Dtil«l Among the many railroads ot which this city is the terminus, there is none to which we can pointwith greater pride tbao the Terre Heute apd Indian&polia, and there is none which, in every particular approaches so near to being first class. In solidity and snbstanliolness of construction,^ track cannot bosurpassed, and,for smoothness, it is more like a "glass road' than any thing we have ever ridden upon. The cars are of tho latest design, and of the most comfortable pattern the officials are courteous ani aUantiva the depots are comfortable and well arranged the trains are always on time, and although running at a rapid rate of speed, are perfectly safe. Wo great accident has ever occured on the road, and we believe that in the seventeen years it has been in operation, btft three passengers nave been killed. Few roads :have a record half so good.

ITS PROJECTION.

When this roed was first talked about, it was tboi^tMihet en^^ises-flf Tmish magnitude could only be completed with the assistance of the State or general government. The Madison road, which wasin process of construction, bad been projected by*|ba State, and an immense amount of money had been spent upon it In other State* the same course had been adopted, and the people being still affected with the old internal improvement mania, there were few, if any, railroads which were not indebted to, or controlled by States. Public opinion was changing, however, f$r with the mulHtude of roads contemplated, i' was impossible to give aid to all, apd besides, it was becoming evident that the true interests of the people did not lie in having roads owned by the government. Fore-sighted men then began to see that if tbe railroad system increased, it must be done by means of private capital, and the projectors of the Terre Hatite IndUftapollA Jraad de. termlned to proceed in their own strength.

The Legislature, on the 26th of' January, 1849, granted a charter to Chauncey Rose and others, to build a railroad from Terre Haute through Indianapolis to .Richmond. The oame of th$ road was the Tetre fiaule'and Kichmond, and the charter required that it be commenced in five and completed in fifteen years.— At that time Cincinnati wrft the great city of the "West, the market for the whole of Indiana, and it was considered of great importance to reach her. This road was designed to be a portion of aline from St. Louis to Cincinnati, and Ohio readily granted a charter for a road from Richmond to Cincinnati, but the Illinois Legislature, afraid of monopolies, refused at this time to hear of any such project.— Subsequently the Terre Hatite and Alton road wis chartered and built. In the early part of May, 1847, a meeting of delegates from counties in the three States was helA in this city, lor the purpose of organizing a company to build a line from St. Louis to Cincinnati, which should pass through this city. At tbis meeting, a committee was appointed who issued an address, in which they declared that private capital must bo depended upon in the construction of such a road, and recommended the building of the Terre Haute road, already organized. The address, however, effected little, at least in this part of the country, where the project was received, if not with disfavor, at least with coldness. Tbe greatest interest was felt by the leading citizens of Terre Haute, who speedily organized a company, with Chauncey Rose, as President, and commenced operations. At the same time, a company

was

organized here

to build a plank road to Terre Ji&ute, which it wardeclBTffd ms to be the "people's road," not a monopoly as'all railroads would become. We were desperately afraid of monopolies in those days.

PB0GRKSS or THE ROAD.

Immediately after the organization of the road, Mr. Bose commenced operations by procuring the services of Gen. Thomas A. Morris, who, in December, completed a first survey. In the month following he commenced another, and when estimates were prepared the "Southern line" was chosen as the route. Tbe other, or "Northern,' is the one over which tbe Indianapolis and St. Louis road is now building. On the 29 th of December, 1848, work was commenced on the west end, ttie contract for the grubbing and grading lor thirty-two mile?, with thepier and abutments for the bridge over Eel river then being let. At the same time the next year, the remaining twenty miles. It was estimated that the cest of preparing the road for the iron would be $4?8#. 451 52, and the total cost, with equips mens, $1,118,751 66.

As in the most of such enterprises, 1b# road w«s not built withouta great deal of difficulty. There was a good deal of op#a opposition and a great deal of indifAt* ence from these who ought to have I friendly, and in the fear that it woul

to th^»«»T,

S£

a monopoly, some very useless thpg* were done." Governor Wright, on th»*th of January, 1851, vetoed au amendment ...

to dispose of us own bonds, but thf bill was passed over hi* head

was divided here "*nd two incup^dgnt companies organized, the one holaw^e western half retailing the orignal^u. During the same year, Mr. Bose ated the bonds of tbe company in Ne York, smir irfth the money procured Iron in England, which was brought up from New Orlastns. The road was completed and opened for through business February 16, 1852, and the cost of construction then was $1*311,672 46, of which the right of way only cost $6,500

with was doe mainly to the efforts of the President, Chauncey Bose Bsq.,who devoted his time,money and energies to the work. He foresaw the importance the road would soon assume and worked for its success incessantly. It was through his influence chiefly that the company's bonds were favorably disposed of and the money procured to complete the road, and to the sound and very economical manner in which the road was built, and the affairs of the company managed by him, does it owe much of its success. On the 1st ot January, 1853, when the road had been in operat on for nearly a year,he resigned the Presidency, much against the wishes of the stockholders. Samuel Crawford, of Terre Haute, was elected President, and retained the office until 1856, when, at his death,

Peck, Esq, of this city,

was elected. Mr. Peck occupied the position until 1867, when the present able officer "W. B. McKeen, Esq., was elected. cojnABisos er

Ic sizteen-years the business of the road has multiplied ten times, and is now increasing with great rapidity The coal trade, which is assuming great proportions, is destined to become much greater, and it is not too great a boast to say that the revenue from that will, in a few Tears, approximate the present income" of tbe road. The line passes through one of tbe finest agricultural countries in the State, and a great deal of grain, stocl:, etc., is shipped on it.

Five through freight traipg ars xuo over the road daily each way, and one coal train to Greencastle, There are four passenger trains, and tEeir ordinary running time is two hours and fifty-five minutes the express train make* the trip tH two hours and thirty five minutes.

With the building of a new Ilia to St. Louis, however, come' tbe con,tructioa of au opposition line from tbis dJty, running neatly parallel with the pre»9nt line. "What the result of tbis opposition will be, remains to bo seen. The traffic is very great, but whether it will bo sufficient "for two roads, cannot yet ba told. One thing is ceruin, however, no company was ever in a better condition to meet competition than the Terre Haute and Indianapolis. With a completely appointed road, in magnificent condition, without a dollar of debt, bat on the contrary a large surplus, a»d with the business growing in the way it is, the company could not be better prepared to meet a rival.

Chablsstoh, July 24.-l£ach excitement prevails among the two wings of the Republican party here. Mackay, the late Collector, leads the native wing, which includes the mass of the colored voters, while Senator Sawyer, Congressman Bowen and Geo. W. Clark,the newly appointed Collector place ofMackav leads the northern element. The removal of BHackay has intensified bitterness between the two factions, and on Thursday "last, Clark called on Mackay and presenting his commission demanded instant possession of the Collector's office. Mackay refused te vacate till he had taken inventories of public property and received a receipt from Clark, but promised to make transfer on lbs 31st inst.— Clark insisted on immediate surrender, which being refused, he entered Mackay's office and attempted to act as Collector, whereupon he was forcibly ejected by Ma?kay: subordinates.

Yesterday afternoon Mackay and other cujtfina,house officers were arrested at the Instance of tUark, en charge of assault aityi obstructing an officer of the revenue!and wfcra bouod over to answer beforeStte TJ 8. Commissioner ©n Monday. During tbe hearing of the case Clark, with a posse of 30 men, forced his way into the custom hoose and took possession, which he atill retains. The partisans^ Clark attempted ,tr serenade Messrs. Sawyer and Bowen last night, but colored Republicans in large num* bers prevented the serenade, charging on the processioa and capturing its flag, which they carried in triumph to Mabkay a£ his residence.

'Washington,

July 25.—Tbe Secretary

of the Treasury is in receipt of a letter from the collector of customs at New Orleans, -conveying a commuiHcatloo Qf^Wt B. McCreery'relativa to the importation of Coolies into this country, and asking for instruction from the Department. He replies that McCreery mistakes in stating that the act of February, 1862, prohibiting American citizens from engaging in the Coolie trade has been abrogated.
