The energy displayed by this company since its organization merits success, and we are pleased to see that it uniformly meets with the success it deserves. From the time of the organization at Rochester last November. every movement the company has made has been forward; and the indications are now that it will continue to be so even unto the end—the completion of the road. We were under the impression that the failure of Pulaski county to order an election would throw cold water upon the project for a time, but the officers tell us that it neither effects the ulnor the speedy, completion of the road. They assure us that they are prepared against contingencies of this kind and intend to push the enterprise hereafter as they have done heretofore. Below are two letters received by the company. The first shows the determination of the proposed contractors to push the work rapidly if the people furnish the local aid. —The second provesconclusively that the company is leaving no stone unturned to elicit interest in the enterprise; while it demonstrates that the road is an important one, and one that is demanded by necessity, else it would not have attracted the warm interest the Baltimore and Ohio road, manifested in it. YS’e are told the company h a na r ? SS| >rances of bids from other,'ues than the authors of these letters. T. Rail.
