Boston and Maine Rail Road. A Cor
respondent Of the Boston Atlas says, ''the
prospects in relation to this Rail Road are
very encouraging, and the work is pro-
crossing, with much energy and rapidity.
Nine miles Of tho route from the line Of
Massachusetts near Haverhill towards Exc
ter will be completely graded by May next.
The Andover aud Haverhill Company will
commence their bridge across the Merri-
mac river early in the Spring and connect
their road with that of the New Hampshire
Company, and in the course of next year
we may hope to see completed distance
offilty miles from Boston towards Maine
by Rail Road"
From sixty to eighty thousand dollars,
nearly half enough, has been subscribed in
Dover to continue the road from Exeter to
that place. The route has been surveyed
and the work will be commenced early in
the Spring.

that the United States have not two more

Brigader General Brady and Major Payne.
As soon as the alarm was given, they, their
officers and men, flew to the spot, and ex-
