BURLINGTON, VT, Aug. IL observe that
the Troy Wing contradcts that Hon George P
Marsh has been severely afflicted in loss Of eve
sight, and that sundry papers have copied this
contradiction. | am sorry to say that it is entire
ly conjectural and unfounded Some weeks
since Mr.. Marsh was suddenly seized with a neu-
ralgic affection, which not only rendered him for
the time totally blind, but visited him with the
most agonizing pains their seat semed to be in
the eyes, though they extended to the head, sto.
mach and limbs. For a long time he was forced
to remain in a room made totally dark, and to ex-
clude by very thick bandages, every particle of
light from his eyes He has now so far recove r
ed that he can endure the light of partially dark
ened ROOM He hopes within month to regain
his sight; and at the opening of the coming SEES
sion Of Congress trust he will be able to resume
his seat. The Troy Wing notices his exertons in
behalf OF the Central Railroad project as evincing
the groundlessness of the report concerning his
blindness may add that his affection is thought
to have been in some degree caused by his pre-
paration of large and very beautifully drawn
map OF the State, for use in an argument the

Mr. Whitney, the Oregon railroad protector, writes
thus of " life in the rough" He dates his letter
at Prairie du Chen, and talks truly and sensi-
bly,:
For most of the way to this place we en-
campcd at night in the open air and slept in our
blankets and permit me to tell you that man
of city breeding, and raised in luxurious habits,
knows not the luxury OF good sound sleep, clear
head in the morning, and most villainous appetite
through the day, until he has wandered over the
vast prairies of the West, encamped every night,
killed, dressed and cooked his game, and then
made his bed on the rich vegetation of the pra-
RE. A man who has tried this may with some
face, pretend TO know what sound sleep is. 20

We have in these figures the palpabe effects
OF the completion of the Western Railroad upon
the fortunes OF Boston, while New York has Gre
NAMED in het she'll" The difference between
what New York city uas lost, and Boston has
gained, is $4,000, 000 and between what New
York should have gained, $50, 600, O00-enough
enough to build ten rail roads between here and
Albany. Yet with many noble enterprises half
finished in our vicinity, more life is apparent
among monied men, than if New York had
chartered right to all the business in the coun-
try. The wealth which Boston has acquired by
her past enterprise has given her the means and
the impulse to prosecute new CUES. Already she
is strengthening her communication with the
Lakes through the Ogdensburg road, by which
route she will have the cheapest and shortest
channel for goods to 90 West and prodcce to come
east Every Western Banker knows and feels
daily IN the character of the drafts discounted,
how rapidly business connections are forming in
Boston and breaking off from New York, The
capital of Boston is ample to afford the greatest
facilities to business, and when once the channel
is open she will have the whole of it, When
Western connections are once formed in Boston
how will they be got back They never can be
recovered. If once, through the inertness of our
citizens the trade is lost, it is lost forever

that he attempted 10 conceal the facts in relation TO the

that the meat appeared to be good any other meat
