CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Al the late meeting of lie Directors OF
this company, at Boston, the road was loca =,
ted for the entire distance from the mouth of
White River 10 Burlington. The contract
has been taken by two Individuals, who are
to have the work completed ready f1r the
cars, by the lst Of April AZ A New York
contractor takes thirty miles IF this end CT
the road, and MIR Belknap, the great New
England contractor the balance. BurIing
ton Free Press, Dec. 5lh.
Mr. EDIToR-It will be seen by the
above articles, that the false Statement in
reference 10 the present position Of the af~-
fairs OF the Central Road, is found only
in the Massachusetts, paper, Published
near the Ftehburg Depot in Charles!own.
Is not this little remarkable and oignii
can,2 The oply real concern thdt the
" Fitchblyg Interest," has in the Central
Road has regard 10 its comnerion with
that road ria Keene and so this most un,
serupu ouS fisiier, the Aurora, has got
the Central R jad located" on territory
where it has nc more TigM than it has in
the Rcd Sea. ard, by an easy stretch OF 4
most indffcren: conscience, has got it
contracted' to be built on the same ter
ritorY "from Windsor 10 the Like ~
This is for the Boston market. The Di-
rpc,ors OF the Central Boad, with grea,
gravity, "rtsoIved," last summer 10 Bos-
ton, that that portion OF lAeir road from
Charleston Bridge 10 the mouth Of White
River, should be pu! under way ,and COM
pleied, Gas soon as any other portion"
and so the Aurora has got Il under way,
and viii no doubt, have it completed, in
time 20 answer the purposes OF the ar
rangcment" Now the truth is, that the
Central Road has not been located" from
Windsor, and j, never will, nor con be !;
and it is not contracted" 10 "Messrs S.
+. Belknap & Co." to b. built from
Windsor 10 the lake" and, hat is more
it never qoW be. A certain charter grant
ed to the Connecticut River Railroad
Company on the 9Th Of Nov. l845, covers
the entire valley Of the Connecticut from
the mouth of White River 10 the South
line The State, and also Requires that that
road shall be built from us Southern ter
minus. This the Vermont organ of the
Central Company, (he Veterinary well
knows, and you don't fnd in that paper
any confirmation, or hint OF confirmation,
OF the absurd msstatement Of the Aurora.
The Burlington Free Press. TOO, speaks
ing OF the contract and the coating" Of
that road, week later than the aurora,
has not a syllable OF this contemplate
twaddle about Windsor.n Il says The
contract Of Messrs Belknap e. Co. en-
braces he route from the mouth Of White
River to Burlington" and very properly
denominates this the "entire distance" Of
the road; and Director Of the Central
Company, who is pretty likely TO know
all about it, resides at Burlington. This
same Director knows, also, that the Cen
trail Company have no more authority
(oor probably inclinatiOn,) TO contract
their road from the mouth Of White River
to Windsor, than they have 10 construct it
from Burlington to Rock Dunder. Then
why is it that this Boston organ of the
Central Road is permitted 10 make fool,
or a Gnave, of itself week after week, by
statements which have moi a shadow of
foundation Is it for the purpose of pre-.
serving for a little longer, the subscrip-
lions Of that large portion Of the Boston
subscribers 10 the stock of the Central
Road, which is composed Of the Fitch,
burg INTEREST,"
Now, MIR Eltor, The puolic has had
about enough of this shallow jugglery'-
1t is certainly getting TO be rather stale
and nauseating. The overshado~ing
claims Of the Central Company to "pec~-
liar rights and "peculsar' privilege had
become ridiculous before The recent session
of the Legislature. Since then, there has
not been the sembIance of a foundation for
INV one Dt Ihu,n. and ibpv arc all found
