subject Of Railroads three weeks ago,
that the view We then took was the cor
rect one. The Road connecting BOs-
ton with Montreal should leave Connec.
tieUt River at the mouth Of black River
in Charlestowu, N II. follow up he val.
ley Of that uver, pass through tho M .
Holly gap and thus open a communica-
ton with Boston for all that western sec
ton Of country, and which Tor the want
OF just such communication now finds
market for all lis produce and all IT'S
mineral wealth in New York. by this
road, Boston retains all the trade II has
ever had in Vermont besides opening
now avenues for business, and extending
communication over largo surface of
country unsurT assed IN resources and
wealth by the same amount Of territory
we will venture to say in New England
The people on the line OF the southern
route, relying on Their natural resources
aud conscious Of the advantages which
their route sustains over all others, are
comparatively quiet on tho subject, com
pared with others who have much Of pre-
tension and bold assumption in the place
OF merit. But they are not for this rea-
son indifferent on the subject, and judg-
ing from the signs about us we think 1t
will soon receive an impetus which will
push it forward to its speedy completion.

The AMERICAN BAPTIST HoME Mis-.
SION SOCIETY. This Society is now vir.
tually disengaged from slaveholding
connection. In antici patton Of South
ern Organization, place OF amicable
separation has been agreed upon and the
pledge was publicly given that in the
mean time no stakeholder should be ap-
pointed missionary. Upon the pledge
The anti slavery brethren iorbore to press
more decided measures, and left it 10
the candor honesty and integrity Of the
Society aud its Board to carry out the
principle. On the other hand the south
crD brethren assured US that they would
separate from the Society, unless they
could be regarded on terms of strict Q
quality, moral and religious, as well as
social. 1t is therefore fully understood
that a separation takes place, and the
present arrangements are mercy to
separation, instead OF violent election
of one party or the other. No more
slave acquired funds are expected to en-
ter the Treasury, and after this year the
apparent connection, st is expected, will
have ceased, US it has already rsrtuaIly
done.
The parting speech Of brother Jeter Of
Virginia was truly affecting, and uttered
in such a manner that none could doutt
the sincerity Of his heart. 1t is painful
to sever the ties that have long bound us
to our southern brethren, but conscience
says, Amen. - West Transcript.
