[ig main line will sooa be opened to travel throughout its entire length, while its branches are not excesded in !mportance by hardly any old road of the coustry. Look at the Franktin Branch road, from this place to the very beart of the wonderful and seemingly exhaurtless oi! region. That Ei Dorado. from which thoussuds havo gathered riches with ara pidity absolutely startling, owes its development in great part to the railroad, which has given ita safer outlet to market than the uncertain froshete upon the streams, and bas secured a constant influx of visitors from all parts of the globe, This portion of the road has been emphatically the poor man’s friend, tu cheapening the price of the oi! by lessening the expense of transport- ing it to market; and none the less will the mam line be found to perform the same beneficent work; for it passes through the heart of the great grain growing portions of the West, from which the Eastern cities and States derive their datly bread. Ishall, therefere, devote some little space to a narra. tive of the early bistory of thie great international work, satisfied that it will be of value and interest. KARLY WSTORY OF TUR ATLANTIC AND GREAT WRITERN. ‘The history of the inception and growth of what has become one of the great arteries of the wand, and is doetined to be surpassed by none in Importance and ex- tent of business, was one of difficulty and discouragement. But it is also the history of what indomitable persever ance aud undying faith will do whem applied to a worthy object. Let me brielly recapitulate a few of the facts connected with the inauguration of this great natural highway. It is a fact of groat interest that no leas a person than New York's great beuefactor, DeWitt Clio- ton, paw the necessity of having a ratiroad to follow pearly the same route as that now traversed by the Atlantic and Great Western as long ago as the year 1823, Having Iaid out and built the Capal, he published paropbiete, which are stil io existence, slowiag the ne- ceesity of buiiding @ road from the western termiaus of the caual, which should be the great carrying power, as he himeeif states, ‘“‘between the Atlantic and Great Weet.”’ He may, therefore, be said to have orginally proposed the pfkn, bis outreaching mind seeing the abeo- jute necessity which would exist for it in less than & gone- ration (vom (be opening of his atupendoas work. ‘The time when it was tbus proposed, however, wae too early or the accomplishment of the work, and it re mained for a later day (0 bring it before the public. Iu the fall of 1850 Marvin Kent, Esq., of Franklin, Obio, brought before the Legislature of that State the charter, Just as it same from the bands of Mr. Kentit was finally grauted. but provably not one in one bundred of the legislators who voted upon it had any conception of the importance of the documeat to which their presiding officers by their jeave placed their hands aud seals. The charter was first asked for the “Fravklin and Warren Railroad,’ and the specifloation in the charter permitted the corporatore to conatruct « road from Freakin, io is was the main feature of the bill, as written, aod appa- rently the cbly point. But it ts safe to assort that Acharter granting so unilmited priviloges, aod placing such vast discretionary powers in tbe | corporatore, was never passed before or siuce by any legisinture, ‘They were authorized to continue the line from Warren ‘to the east live of the State ot Obio,” and they “may continue the same from the piace of beginning (af Prauk Hin), in a westerly or southwesterly direction, to connect wiih any railroad within this State which the directors of ¥ai¢ company may doem advisable,” It will thus be seen that they had full power to procood from Franklio wherever they pleased. They might go all over the south. western portion of the State if they sew fit, an’ connect With any other road which they sbould pelect again, they were wuthorized to constract their road of such wih a: might be necessary, the act imposing no reg'rictione tu that respect. In short, Mr. Keot, in the frawing of this charter, displayed a shrewdness which wigi do credit to the “Philadelphia lawyer” of whom we have all po often beard, The act was passed in March, 1861 changed the titte being just before its passage to that of ‘Ine At- antic and Great Western Raiiroad Company.’ Until this change of name nothing was koown of the scope of the intentions of the originators, It wae suppoeed. by those who took cognizance at all of the “*yronklip and Warren Railroud,”” that it was a mere local track to enabie Mr. Kent to get coal from the bapks | of Mahoning county for bis glass works at Franklin; and 80 they troubled themselves no more about it ‘The charter being granted, subscription books were opened, aud Mr. Keut's design waa expisioed. It was build a road from rome point oa the New York and kee (which was not then entirely completed), nour Olean, Warren, thence to Fravklin and Galion, and thence’ to connect with the Obioand Mississipp!, which wae thea in process of construction.

The peopte along the propored line of the rond having subscribed liberally, work commenced vigorouriy in 1853, and the grading between Franklin and Warren might have been oampleted in asbors time if the sulacribers had paid uy, Put enemies of the road wore not wanti now that its devign became manifest, and ail sorts of dil culties were thrown in the way.

While there the aszotiations were completed, wad the contract was en- tered into, on the part of Mr. McHenry, to proceed at once with the work of construction, Such, in brief, is the history of the conception and growth’ of the Atiantic and Groat Western Railway. Of its later development—how Mr, Kenuard was entrusted by Mr McHenry with the entire supervision of she con- straction of the road; how he came here in atime of xreat scarcity of labor, when the government was drain- ing the gources of supply; how be brought an army of fifteen thousand laborers from Great Britain and the Capi das, and set them to work: bow he expended with lav. isd hand when it would further the advancement of the work, while he watched with eagle eye for every delin- quency or negttgeace; how he put his own shoulder to the wheel, and so infused his spirit into his subordinates ‘that the work progressed as if by magic; how he built the road atthe rate of a mile a day, through swamps and woods, through hills and over ravines, until, on the 20th day of Juno, the very day that he had provhesied | be would compiete the laying of his track, the last rail was spiked home in the streots of Dayton by Moers.

With this view he provided broad, luxurious cars, and then devoted his attention to the dining department.
