The Indiana North & South Railway.

Elsew here we print a call for a meeting of the citizens qf Porter county, to hear and determine upon such course «d action as may be best for the county, In reference to the Indiana North and South Kailwav* '['his enterprise is already well under way, sufficiently so to insure that it will be built on some line.— This road leaves the Ohio river at New Ucrgh, niiming thence north to Attica, and from thence to Chic ago, or Michigan City, or both. This road would give the people of Porter county the direct advantage of the Michigan City harbor, the coal fields of "Central Indiana, and the New Orleans market by the way of the Ohio river. The difference between enterprise and the want of it, will control the location of this road. Porter county can have this road if her citizens determine to do so. We hope the people will come together, and act wisely in the premises. One week from to-day, at one o’clock P. M., [to-day] Hon. W. S. Pierce will be here and will tell just what the plans of the company are. This county, and the northern part of Laporte, have great interests to be promoted by the building of this road. Chesterton should be on hand to secure, if possible, this outlet for her timber in ail directions. Hebron, also, may fiikl it for her interest to he present on next Thursday, through iier most influential citizens. It the road should be built to Lowell, and from there one branch to Chicago, and one to Michigan City, it would strike Hebron favorably for its development. We do hot know what the purpose of the directors is farther than they want to stnke both Chicago and Michigan City.— Valparaiso VilcUt. This is the road Mr. Spencer called the attention of the people of this county to through our columns, last week.
