THE DOWNWARD TRACK.

We stated, several weeks since, that The
Vermont "Voice of Freedom" had come
out in favor of Whiggery, but we little
thought then that lis new associations
would so soon corrupt it, that it would be
ready 10 admit into lis columns, without a
word of dissent, the most ferocious attacks
upon aboliliouionlsls. But so it is. A
CORES pendent in that paper ofthe 3lsl oil,
speaks of Milton Clarke, The fug itive from
Kentucky slavery,as "Ihe runaway slave,
Milton Clarke, who is led about the coun
try by his keeper as a sort of rare show"
and Clarke and one Of the publishers Of
the Green Mountain Freeman are spoken
of in connection, as "thcse'iiinerant show
men," This contempluous treatment OF
antislavery lecturers is worthy of James
Watson Webb, or Governor Nc Dufie.-

MIR GlLBERTS REPORT,

To the President and Directors Of the
CAamptain and Connecticut Rirer Rail
Road Company.
GENTLEMEN.-The completion of the
survey OF the Champlain aud Connecticut
River Railroad enables me to furnish such
information as will place before you the
most important facts by which the leasibl-
ity OF the route may be known.
The maximum grade and The minimum
radius of curvature, necessarily employed
in the location of the Road, have been de d.
termined by careful aud thorough exams
inalion OF the route. The result of the
survey has fully established the fact that
il will not be necessary to adopt maxi.
mum grade over 60 !eet per mile, crossing
the mountain, and that The extent of line
that will require grade OF 60 feet per
mile will not exceed % miles. There
will be but two curves on the line, less
than 1000 feet radius, one of 1900 feet,
and one Of 1000 a very favorable result,
when we consider the difficulties which
are usually found in locations through a
mountainous section Of country.
1t has been stated previously that 40
leet per mile, will be the maximum grade
between Burlington and Rutland, a dis
lance OF 65 miles, and that the character of
this portion Of the route is remarkably IA.
vorable for easy grades and cheap con,
sIructon. The line AS located along The
valley Of Otter Greek passes over q very

uniform and favorable surface, ssfor dis,
lance OF 35 miles, and the expense Of grad
ing will be moderate, as may be seen from
the fact that (wnh few exceplions) no ex-
cavaton will be encountered more than
ten feet in deplh. and not exceeding one
thousand feet long, and no embankment
will be required more than eight
feet in height. The nature of the
material will be favorable 10. the founda-
ton of the road bed-being composed of a
fine dry sand and gravel.
About 38 miles, or nearly one third of
the whole distance, viii require grades
varying from three to five feet per mile.
The annexed Table of grades may be
relied upon so far as relates TO the maxi
mum-!he grades from ! 0 10 80 feet per
mile, will not require very material alter
alton 10y any subsequent arrangemen)
from those presented.
This will place before you the maxi
mum grade, the number of miles al differ.
ent rates per mile, and in fact furnish The
most important Information that can be
Communicated at this time, by which the
general character of The route may be
seen. The grades that have been adopted
are such as are naturally indicated by the
general formation of The country traversed
by the survey, arc no unreasonable ex-
pense will be incurred oy adopting grade
of 60 feet per mile upon the most difficult
parts OF The rou:e. The arrangement that
has been made with the grades is consid-
cred favorable from this fac:, viz: The ex-
tent of the route upon which grades from
so to 60 feet per mile will be required, is |
confined TO continuous part Of The route,
OF which Is miles is west and Is miles
east Of the summit at Mount Holly. Up
on this section OF the road additional mo-
tive power may be employed, or Locomo-
tives adapted to heavy grades.
1t cannot be expected that | should far.
nish an estimate in detail so soon after the
of the field work. Yet it
may BIZ proper that | should express an
opinion of the nature and magnitude OF
the work to be accomplished. Estimates
have been made as the result of previ-
Gus survey and The cost Of grading, mason
ry, bridging, land damages, &C., amount,

Being guided somewhat by estimates
hat have been made, and also making the
most liberal allowance for Unforeseen diff,
icultes, and additional expenses, that may
be Incurred by meeting rock excavations,

1t will be observed that this table of dis
ances differs, in some respects, from that
which is spread upon the map Of the va
rious routes which has been placed in cir
cul4tion, Mr. GILBERr's survey Of the
Rutland Route, Just completed, adds slight
" 10 the length Of that line ; and in stating
the distances on The Central Route, we
have been guided by the report Of tine
Engineer, Mr. CARTER, who states the
distance from Burlington 10 the mouth of
White River, as lC2.84 miles. This is
by the Mortified Route, and The one
which, there is no reason to doubt, will be
adopted, The distances given above are,
therefore, unqueslionably correct.
1t will be seen, by The foregoing state"
ment, that the Rutland Route is shorter
than any other by which it is proposed to
connect Boston and Burlington ; and very
materially shorter than the Central Route,
via Keene and Fchbure, which, the pub.
lie are assured by official declarations of
The parties to The arrangement, has been
adopted. By the way Of Kcene aid Fitch.
burg, the Rutland Route is twenty, sic,
and by the way Of East Wilton aud Nash
Us, THIRTY-NINE miles, shorter than The
Central. Now by a comparison Of grades
and curves, it will be apparent that the
Rutland Road can be run with equal
speed, and as cheaply, per mile, as the
Centfal. 1t inevitably follows, therefore,
that the greatly increased distance Of the
The latter over the Rutland Road
must operate as SERIOUS AND
PERPETUAL TAX on the business of
the line, and aso on the vast amount of
business which is safely anticipated to
seek Boston, on the completion OF the Og"
densburgh and Montreal Roads.
The fourth, and perhaps, under existing
circumstances, the most impnrant, consid~
eralion, to be presented, has reference to
the jeasi5itjtY aod general character OF
the RIland Road; and for Information on
this head the Undersigned take pleasure
in referring the public TO the brief but
highly satisfactory report, which has been
submitted by Mr. GILBERT since the com.
pIetion of his survey and which is append.
ed 10 this circular. The pro6les Of the

pected.
am aware that nearly all experience
has shown, that the cost Of roads has been
found to exceed the original estimates a
fact which warns me against making any
statements without first making the most
liberal allowance for every reasonable
contingency that may arise during the
construction of the work.
The improvements which have been
made by the recent survey, show very
desirable result, not only in the arrange
ment of grades. bu! in the dminution Of
the amount of work required in grading.
The most impor,an; changes that have
been made, are upon the route between
Burlington and Rutland, not only obviat
ing the necessity of heavy grades, but We
ny materially reducing the estimate Of the
previous survey. East of the summit Of
Mount Holly. the line most Of the way oc>
tupies the same ground as the previous
survey, excepting the crossing OF JEWELS
brook and The location below Broc kways
Mills, on Williams River. The location
at each of these places has been greatly
improved; the line as located now, cross
es JEWELS brook from 1000 10 / 200 feet
above the point selected by the first survey.
AS we proceed up the brook The valley is
much contracted IN width, the bed of the
stream rising rapidly; the distance from
bank TO bank where the line crosses, is
$40 fee, the lnea encounterlng a moder-
ate excavation on each side of the valley.
The heighlh of the embankment at this
point will be II feet above low wa,er.-
Near Brockway's Mills, on Williams
River, the location that has been made
shows similar improvement the details
Of which will be particularly noted when
the returns are made. | have briefly re,
feTred to these facts to show what may
reasonably be expected in support of the
opinion given in relation to the cost of the
work.
The estimate which have given ia ag.
grtgate is only intended as an approxima.
ton, with con fdence that it will be found
sufficiently large to coyer every expense.
A full and detailed statement 9th sur
vey, together with Maps aud Pfo6les of
the route, will be submitted as early az
practicable.
