Mr. T. takes great interest in the projected short line railway connecting Louisville, Ky., with the northern lakes and the East. He has great confidence in its success; and his large experience in railway matters entitles his opinion to great weight; and though nearly eighy years of age, his assistance will be of more service to the road than that of any other half dozen men of our acquaintance. Our citizens have another opportunity of accomplishing an enterprise to which we have so frequently called their attention; but whatever they do must be done quickly.
