We learn that a Rail Road meeting will be held at Monticello, Piatt county Illinois, on Saturday the 28th ints., for the purpose of consulting about the construction fo a road from Peoria via Monticello to Paris, for which a charter was granted by the last legislature. The citizens of Piatt county will no doubt turn out enmasse and by word and subscription of Stock do more than their share towards securing the Road. They have heretofore evinced their liberality in attempting to get a road through their county seat, and now that, the whole matter is left in a measure with them, we expect to hear of a rousing subscription list in Piatt county.
