The Paw foists that the Steubenville route Is • rier4st and best rail road route to Cincinnati. It is possible it may be ten or fifteen miles shorter, by mowing the country direct, and bridging the ;Ohio, but It is far from being the beat, and we do :not believe it weld be travelled in to short e time nathe Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. The Pro sashes the distance from Pittabargh to Columbui, by way of ateubenville,l93 miles. BY way of the Ohio sad Pennsylvania Railroad, the distance will be about 210 miles. As the route bunt' been located, hinstiver, on some portions of the Rteubentrille line, lbo probabiliiies are chat there will betray little difference in the distance by the two routes. But' there to no probability that there will ever be another bridge erected across the Ohio rivet.

Our Western road will De built, and we have no objection to see another road connecting • us with Ohio, through Stenben. , vilte, erected alto, provided no obstruction is made to the navigation - or the river.

We can gay one ttdng, bow _;ailerovitit enzieldenee, that we have to doubt the j ; depot Will 'tic located at a point which will be noit advantageous to both cities, and that the propriety of the selection will be acquiesced in by the business community generally.
