Ws are reliably informed that the Chicago k Great Southern railroad company have determined to build their road up through the eastern part of Newton county, and tap fee Air Line some twelve or fifteen miles above Rensselaer. The same authority informs us that fee contract baa been let for the grading and for getting out ties, and feat fee road will be pushed to completion at once. The road will run shout eight miles west of Rensselaer, and villages will be built up skmg its line, which will draw at least $50,000 par annum, of the trade Rensselaer now receives. We believe if fee matter of voting aid to this road had been submitted to fee people of Marion township, it could easily have been carried, and Renaselaer might easily have ascured fee road, it is needless for us to recount fee advantages to our i>wn a railroad direct from the ooal-fields would be, as it ia also useless for us to say anything about the great damage Rensselaer will sustain by fee rood passing by a few miles west of her and tapping a region from which she now receives a large per oentage of her trade. Another such opportunity aa was offered our people a few weeks ago may never again be presented them, aad ws fear feat our bright prospects have flown, and feat Rensselaer will be relegated to fee position of an obscure country village. Latsb —There ia a later report feat Mr. Crawford has made another proposition to our people, and a meeting will be held at fee court house to-morrow night.
