RAILROAD NO. A.

We have nv disposition 10 war against the
Central route. Indeed we wish every sec
ton of the State 10 enjoy the facilities Of rail-
roads so necessary for general prosperity
We doubt not that eventually both the con-
templated roads will be constructed. And
yet we cannot be entirely passive under the
ungenerous attempts ofthe Waterman 10 Sc
cure march Of this section ofthe State by
belittleing the advantages of our route and
initiating those of his own. This sort of cam
paigning which the Watchman commenced
some weeks since, Is carried on in an aggra-
waited manner in the last number. 1t con
tains another OF the arithmetical decisions
which the Editor has so repeatedly perpetra-
ted to bring out superior estimate OF popu-
lation, wealth and business for the Central
route.
Indeed it seems as if a strange halucina-
ton had seized upon the brain orfriend Wal
ton upon this subject. His attempts TO drag
in 4 population of5S thousand in the State
ofNew Hampshire with corresponding "a
ito Of wealth, &c, TO en1ame his estimates
are quite as reasonable as his endeavors to
persuade the public that the mountainous
regions of North Eastern Verne ont ere
to be compared or productiyeness or
wealth of any description with the fertile
valleys Of Otter Creek & Lake Champlain.
Who would have thought it possible that n
sane man could have asked the people of
Vermont to believe that there was on the ri
val routes actually difference of 1870 in
population, and 30millions in property, miner
ais and manufactures in favor of the Central
route. Ifindeed such discrepancy exists all
competition is al an end. Western Vermont
is cyphered into utter insignificance. But so
asserts the Editor ofthc Watchman as if in
his distorted vision some strange CONFUSION
of nature had suddenly changed these differ
ent sections of the State, and reversed the
order in which they had been created.
But 10 satisfy the public of the cxaggera-
tons Of the Editor OF the Waterman OF the
merits of the Central route, we will insert
present one of our own which we think we
shall be able to satisfy our readers is not
like our neighhor's mere draft upon the
fancy but a statement OF stubborn facts.
The Waterman passes the Central route
from Bellows falls up the Connecticut TO
White River aud thence 10 Montpelier, and

The Boston Mail says that the Rutland
Rail Road route TO Burlii. gton is the only
route that meets with the least favor with the
capitalists of Boston, and is the only one in
which they will take stock. We had sup
posed this was the case. The Mail adds
that ''the stock on that road will go up to ten
per cent the moment the books are closed"
We have do doubt large amount Of stock
will be taken in the country along the line
of the route when the books are opened on
the 10th of June next Indeed we shall not
wonder ifpeople a little of the line of the
road may deem it a good investment of
money and take stock.

The New Play AT THE PARK.-The Park was
excessively crowded again last night, and the new
comedy, "Fashion," was received, if possible, with
greater appreciation than on the first night OF
its representation. There was greater number OF
ladies' in the house than the previous night, and
the theatre altogether presented q very gay and
brilliant aspect.
We have great deal yet to say about this new
comedy in several points of view; fret, as work
of art, and the first of series of dramas that may
now be produced for the purpose of resuscitating
the American stage: secondly, in reference to the
actors and the manner in which they sustain their
parts-the scenery and other matters; and, thirdly
and lastly, the probable influences and effects OF
this new movement in theatricals-for 1t is new
movement not only in theatricas, but in society.
manners and literature in this city and this country
We anticipate that certain portions Of society will
consider themselves viely caricatured and rdculed
in this comedy, and they may be very savage, their
bad feeling leading to variety of amusing devel-
opmenis in certain quarters. We shall enter into
advise every body to go tonight, which is the fair
