In another column wil] be found tho proceedings of a meeting held at Dundee, on the 5th inst.r to consider tho pvojected Eailroad from Toledo, via Dundee, Saline, and Ann Arbor, to Holly. Along tbe proposed liue betwecn this and Toledo there is great interest manifested, and people are ready to deal liberally with nny company that will undcrtake the work. Soine Towns propose not only to give the right oí way, but to grade the road, and take considerable stock besides. Tbe distanco from Toledo to Holly in an air line is 78 miles. Saline and Ann Arbor are a little West of an air line, but an air line from Toledo to Saline and thenee to Holly, directly through Ann Arbor, is but 82 miles long. The country from hero to Toledo is very level, and well timbcred, and a road could be constructed tbrough it at the minimum rates. From hore North it is not so favorable, but there are no obstruotions worth counting or materially increasing the cost. To Toledo and the Ohio roads this new road is important, as it opens up nearly a direct line to the luinber and salt regioDs of our State, saving 30 miles of the distauce dow run by way of Detroit and the Milwaukee Railway.- The saving in transportation both vvays would be still greater to our citizens. From hore to Holly by the way of Detroit - as we must now go and come is 85 miles. From hero to Iiolly direct is but 35 miles. To get to Toledo by the way of Detroit, requircs our people to travel 102 iniles. From here, by the proposed line it is but 47 miles. With these figures we loave the mattor tot this week with our citizens, only addiug that a road is to be built from Holly South, and that we may have it if we will. We h(.pe that our city will be represented at Toledo. E Gen. Cox, tbo radical candidato for Governor of Ohio, bas thrown a borabshell into the camp of the negroequality party by doclaring against negro suffrage. He don't balieve that the two races can live together as political and social equals, and favors the colonization of the negroes in soine portion of the Soutb. E3P Gen. Hill, Provost Marshal of this State, has been relieved by his own requcst, and has feft Detroit for Washington. He is Bucceeded by Capt. Rkiqut.
