C. & S. A. Railroad.

Railroad matters are assuming an encouraging outlook, and energetic movements are on foot to push the grading forward rapidly until the commencement of winter. Against that time it is believed all the line will be in readiness for the iron from Dyer to the Tippecanoe, or Delphi with exception of two bridges. The piers of the Wabash river bridge are up, and we understand that the contractor will commence work on the Tippecanoe bridge as soon as the line is graded from the north to Monticello. The prospects for obtaining the iron are excellent, and we understand that Dr. Raymond, President of the road, went to Chicago yesterday to close the contract for the purchase of it, and as soon as this is done, the laying of the track-will be commenced and pnshed forward rapidly. It is intended that the laying of the track will be commenced simultaneously at two .or three different points, and that not more than sixty or eighty days will be required to lay it down from Dyer to Delphi, and from Dyer to Chicago. An active superintendent will soon be placed in charge of the whole line, who will give his personal supervision tat the work. The s%le of the requisite amount of bonds to'cpmplete the road to Delphi is now almost assured, and two weeks more of energetic work among all the friends of the road tfiil insure complete success. We are now deeply in the woik, have expended a large amount of money, and there is but one course to pursueiaud that is to press forward. An'd that will be done.— Monticello } Conet ituttonalut. *
