that this meeting should have been thus

CORRESPONDENCE.
OASDALE, Feb.
FIMTOAS GAZLITTE: Wa tlO not think
its your earrespondent ( - LB. from Clinton
Hearne to think—that it properly belongs
to the company owning the Pan Handle
road to build a • branch from Oikdale to
connect with the Cleveland road at or
near Liverpool on the Ohio river. If
capitalists are not blind to their interests
(and they seldom are,) we think thin
route will be a connecting link in a
grand trunk railway from the lakes to
the seaboard, using the C. & P. toad
from Cleveland to the Ohio river, 'and the
Connellaville •road from Pittsburgh to
- Baltimore. The route is not only finuri.
Ade but comparatively cheap. Crossing .
the Pan Candle at Oakdale and the
Chartiern at Woodville, it would open up
an entirely new field of coal, loan:seal
ble to any other line, except by the
building of lateral ramie. Independent
of a consolidation with the Connellsville,
the prcJected Southern, or any other
road, we regard this as the beat route
by which Cleveland can reach Pitts.
burgh. Even as an independent road
from that point on the Ohio river to
Pittsburgh we would rather take stock
inn than in the Erie Ship Canal. D.
