OF the heaviest amount Of freight .--sh.t lcn.
ing 'he!snmmlt for so miles. ncrlherly tie
route is through an orcn, terlic. and highly
cultivated territory, aud with a surface very
favorable to the construction Of a railway
This route IN its entire length passe, thro'
or near "a villages some small, and many Of
Them large and houishng the inter.
mediate territory Isther ,hiokly settled -
Through this distance less esnow falls than
IN any other part Of New England inland
aud the past winter there has been less
snow and less seighlng than in Boston nna
It's vicinity. Ii is not unirequen, 10 have
sIeighlng from Mounlholy to Boston, and
the way up and down the Connectirui rlver.
while the ground on the west side OF the
mountain Is entirely free from snow. An
other consideration enters into tins question
oi ZONE importance. Which Of these routes
Is most likely to encounter a competing line,
which would probably divert from It ar, CON
siderable portion OF us bushes. ~ While |
irnfp &
other railway will ever come IN competition
with the Rutland route between the noun
talns and Lake Champlain, | have little doubt
that one viii be built lfomConcurd to lIavcr-
hill. If not 10 Lyman opposite 10 the mouth
Of the Pnssrpmsic river, and within few
years. The ground is fav ,rNbie and such a
railway would accommodate large part of
New llHmshite. many things concur 10 rem
der II highly probable that this road will be
built In such case tho whole business OF
Caledori', Orleans and ESSEX and consid.
e'nhle par, Of Orange counties woulG be dl-
vert ed from the Central route. And then If
a railway shall bs built upon the Rutland
route. which hardly admits OF a doubt, what
will become Of the Central road
Again,li II Is rs important Ia reach Montpcl-
iet as some OF us clIlzenS Seem to tNlnk, and
which | shall not stay rs conlruyeu, and
II the estimates are TO be relied on, it viii cost
but mule, II any, more to build n railway
rom Burlington To montpelier, than from
Cheshire Bridge tO the mouth Of White river,
a project more beneficial in my estimation
and IN the estimation Of diners. to the State
OF Vernon: than that OF the Central rod.
have heard this same opinion expressed hy
an Intelligent citizen bf montpelier within
the last two months.
The editor Of the Vernon, Waterman ir,
his paper % the 18th inst urges with apparent
sell competency his strong argument against
the Rutland rounte, that the business Of tho
Lake counties will continue TO use the Cheap-
er water communication, in summer 10 New
ork as they now do, 1.-THE Rurland route -
chosen And will the Gentlemen tell ne
how the case is 10 be altered, IT the Central
route is chosen VIA The business Of Lake
Champlain and Canada take the Central
road II II would not take The Rutland Dad !
II THIS is an objection, II ~ quite rs strong
against the Genital as against the Rutland
route. Bot dfownlrg men catch at siraws
Again IN the language Of the editor Of the
W Waterman, II Boston takes the Rutland
'nute. The inevitable result, we spprehend,
Wi be, that New York will tap their road at
Rutland, and ih1s compete in winter as well
IS in summer, for all northern business
Vow have ~ manner oi doubt, that as soon
Is the road is built fromDe lossFalls TO Bur-
lngion by Rutland, a branch road will DO
constructed from Rutland TO whitehall and
hat without the tapping tools of New York.
ind the road would carry sumo freight dss-
med Tor southern or western market, and
iso many passengers, as II would afford the
est route from Boston TO Saratoga Springs
iut for every ton OF freight tins road should
iycu from the main branch. II would return
least two. and in winter still mote. A.
he slate and marble would then take this
bad To Boston, instead Of gnlng from IS to
90 miles farther TO get TO New York And
ow will a railway parallel to The NOr,hern4
