Jt Railroads, Plank Ronds, or any Iother kind ef good roads* would, we hovel uo doubt, be very ncceptoble to many ofour citizens. A Railroad is whiit our people wont—what the country requires, but i iu the absccuco of any encouraging Rail-w road nows, would it not be to ®n» interest I for the present to assist in building a Plank l( road to Peru, or assist in repairing the old L Plnnk rond to Lognnsport! The Farmers, |Merahnnt.s, Mechanics, and in fact all aremore or less interested in having good IJ Roads, especially to those points above named. Our produce and merchandize are , either taken to or brought from one or the other of these points.Tho Road between this place and Lognnsport for the past few weeks has been almost impassable, and it may continue to be so for some time to come, unless we have a very favorable Spring. It 1ms frequently been the case, that at the very time our Merchants are getting their heaviest i5eort of jjoods, the roads-are so bad that it!o 9is difficult to.get them brought, unless at exorbitant rates.
