| TWO vermont ASatns
The FRAUD CONFESSED. BY a pri
vate letter received yesterday from Bos
ton we learn that the Bargain betwee,
Governor Paine and the Fitchburgt
folks, which Mr. Walton lately assured
US would be strictly adhered to- wa
made in bad faith, and will not be fol
| filled. 1T is we'll known that the Drec
I tors and Stockholders Of the Fitchburgt
Railroad preferred the Central over thu
Rutland Route and gave it all the aic
they possibly could; believing, as they
did, that the Central, would unite with
the Cheshire road at Bellows Falls anc
thus put down all exertion and all hopes
for continuing the Road from Concord
n. H. to Lebanon, and thence through
Montpelier to Lake Champlan. They
opposed the Rutland road and preferred
the Central, for the sole and ouOwed pur,
pose of preventing tine continuation OF
the Concord road; and great portion Of
the subscriptions of the Central stock,
taken by the Fitchburgh people, was
taken with the understanding that the
Cheshire road through N. leaving
the Connecticut River at Bellows Falls.
And Walton short time since assured
the Fitchburgh men that the bargain,
(the union of the Central with the Fitch
burgh,) 'a0oaM be strictly adhered Ito
But Elk Gov. Paine and his fellow Di
rectors do not so understand the bond,
or if they do, are not intending to abide
by it. The fraud and duplicity of these
Directors has been by them confessed.
A few days since, Boston gentleman
who has subscribed Twenty thousand
dollars for the Central Road, wrote to
Governor Paine that he took that amount
Of stock with the express understanding
that the road was 10 unite with Concord.
The Gov. replied shat it was still his
own intention and the intention of tho
Directors to do so, but it was not best
TO frIghten their Fitchbvrg friends yet
about it,. This letter OF Governor Paine,
was LAID before the Fitchburgh Board
ofDirectors Immediately, and a copy Of
it is in the office Of the Champlain and
Connecticut River Railroad Co. Boston.
The base imposition and contemplate
trickery thus proved 'out of their own
mouth cannot be too cordially despised,
and we trust will meet with on appropri-
ate rebuke. Is it not time for friend
Walton and the Editor of the Bunker
Hill Aurora to quote again the old max

Dividing the sum total of feet in grade
by the distance, we find that the Rutland
route has an average grade. of 1855 to
every mile, and the Central l4.l0 teet.-
Assuming that re-survey of the Central
route will show equal improvements with
the Rutland its average grade will not
exceed 10 fee, TO the mile showing that
the average grade of the Rutland route is
far more than double that of The Central.
OF these grades, on each, probably half
is ascending; but for the purpose OF com,
parison only, this is immateria By This
comparative statement i, is obvious,not on.
~ that the difficulties OF Mount Holly are
very great, but also that the difference Of
the two roads in The cost of construction
and of running, and in the facilities for
doing business, is TOO wide to permit any
one TO think for IA moment of placing the
Rutland route in competition with the
Central. The friends of the Rutland
route err in overlooking or undertaking
the natural and unavoidable difficulties of
their mountain pass, and err in placing
themselves in the position Of rival or
with the Central. 1t was
difficult enough to get stock for one route
IN Boston; the auemptto carry another
road 10 the same point on Lake Cham,
DIaln,we thiok must inevitably fail. Their
chances for success with different line
would be altogether better; though we |
loubt whether any stock, except Ogdens-
ourgh, will be taken in Boston the pres
mt year.
