Rutland Railroad.

Mr. EDIToR,-It is matter of surprise and
regret that the publishers of news papers on
the route of the Rutland Railroad, have not
given more time and space to the subject
which is of the greatest Importance to the
inhabitants of Western Vermont. 1t is pos
sibe that from their own familiar acquaint-
ance with the resources and capabilities, of
this part of the State the feasibility of its soil,
its mineral wealth. its immense water power,
they have taken it for granted that every
body else understood these facts as well as
themselves. But this is great mistake, and
the antagonist of your road, friend Holcomb
have made capital out Of this very mistake
Look at the efforts of the friends of the Cen
tr,l Road, and learn wisdom before it is too
late--only keep to the truth. They, by their
incessant putting and Boosting, have led a
portion of the people ofBoston actually to be-
lieve that the crooked was made straight and
the rough places smooth that the hills were
Mede low, and the valies exalted until the
narrow vallies of the Onion and White Riy-
crs had become almost perfect plain, and
the mountainous boundaries had vanished
At the same time these few difficulties on
your road have been greatly exaggerated and
knowingly misrepresented How long will
your section of the State remain quiet under
such efforts aimed directly at her best inter-
Of -, +ho 1nfo
even?
Week after week the newspapers of West
ern Vermont might be searched in vain for
any tangible evidence that her citizens were
moving, Except in the retrograde,) in rela-
ton to their Railroad, the most important to
her prosperity of anything yet projected
leaving men strong reasons to believe that
what its enc mics so constantly asserted Of its
absolute extinction, was fully true.
But why does the press remain silent? Pray,
speak out in trumpet toEDs. l am somewhat
acquainted with your route, both in relation
to its undoubted capacity to sustain first rate
Railroad, and the adaptation of the surface to
the cheap and easy construction of such a
road From-my knowledge of the country,
do not believe the same distance can any
where be found in Neo England (116 miles)
upon which Railroad can be constructed
for as small an outlay, or, when built is ca
pable Of furnishing so large an amount of
business. 1t is sometimes said that Vermont
cannot support two roads. This may be true,
but it is not necessary to spend time to de-
bate such a question in Western Vermont,
however true it may prove in the event Of
the Central road; for, the Rutland road, when
built, as it is destined speedily to be, can
defy all competition from every quarter. 1t
can be built at from teco thirds to one half the
sum that it will cost to build the Central road
1t can be run in less time,at less expense ;and
ifs local business will very greatly exceed the
local business ofthe Central. But why should

SIR.-Reports having been put in circua-
ton that the Steamer Francis Saltus had been
sold into the hands of the "Old Company" we
beg leave through your columns to inform
our friends and the travelling public that such
is not the fact-that the Steamer Francis Salt
US yet remains in the hands of her former
owners untrammclled by monopoly, and will
continue her trips on the same days as hereto
fore, and at such hours as will best accommodate
the PEOPLE,the cod Line having no con-
troll over her whatever.
The proprietors Of the FRANCIS SALTUs feel
grateful for the very liberal patronage be-
slowed on their Boat, and trust that no credit
will be given to the many idle reports circula-
ted by their opponents
Truly Yours.

During the recent severe storm in this Vi
entity, says the Louisville Courier, large
tree about two feet in diameter, on the farm
OF MIR. Brasher, was blown down, and large
pile of musket balls, about $50 pounds of
weight, was found among the roots of the tree.
A French boat,on its way from Fort Duques-
ne, In 1884 or '55, was captured by the In
dams near where this tree was blown down,
and it is supposed they threw this key of bull
lets on the bank Of the river and this tree
sprung up and hid the bullets until the recent
storm revealed them.

ESCAPE FROM STATE PR1soN. Yester-
day morning, about o'clock, Carries w, White
house, John Adams, alias John Allen, and
John johnson, made their escape from the
State Prison at Charlestown. About o.
clock an officer goes round & lets out the cooks
to prepare 70, breakfast AT this time the long

each door is liz reycr secured by a lock which
can not be opened On the inside. 1t is suppo-
sed that some one Of the cooks must have I'M
fastened the cells of the three men. They
proceeded to luthern window, the bars OF
which had been previously loosened, and let
themselves down by Il rope, and so escaped.
The prisoners had been at work near the win
dow, and must have had their preparations
made for some time. The Warden offers a
reward of $50 each for their apprehension

A MAN BLOWN To ATOMS. The st. Louis
New Era states that, as the steamer Omega
was descending the Missouri river and, about
to land at Cape Girardeau on the 4th inst. ,
a swivel which she had on board firing pre-
maturely went off, and blew deck hand be-
longing to the boat overheard. His body
was supposed to have been literIly shattered to
fragments, from the fact that one of his thumbs
was subsequently found on the deck off the boat
as nicely separated from the hand as if it had
been done with aknte. Nothing was seen OF
the body after the discharge.

First day of August.

This day-the day above all others to 100000 in
habtants of the British West India Islands, who
were enslaved, will be held in grateful remem
brance by them on Saturday next. This is the day
ON which the dreaded experiment Of immediate e.
Emancipation was tried in 1884 on a portion of the
the Apprenticeship preparation was commenced on
the other portion. Although justice required the
payment of the f2O000OO0 to the sares, yet thanks
to the British Government that this sum was appli-
ed i'll such way as to test the utility of Immediate
ly setting the bondman free. Those holding power
Others who, in legal sense, in state Of
transition from chatteS to Men, seeing the good re-
suits following the immediate change from chattels
to men without the intervening process of Appren-
ticeship were induced to cut short this claim over
the Apprentices, two years, thus clearly and fully
demonstrating the practicabty of immediate eman-
cipation. These things have before been presented,
but the magnitude of the principle involved, well
the safety to all parties concerned seems to
der reiteration Of the statement highly proper
There no emancipated slaves in this State to Gel
citrate the deliverance from bondage of their breh-
rem in the West India Islands, but every lover of
justice and humanity will feel thrill of Joy on re-
verting to the memorable event named, and, like
Lafayette in Revolutionary times, lend their aid in
behafofthe oppressed. May the ensaved in this land
coon be permitted to sing the song of their freedom
and the whole Nation rejoice in the result.

Western Vermont give herself any uneasi-
ness about the Central road? The friends
of the Rutland road have nothing to do to in
sure its speedy construction, but to go stead
lily ahead and leave the Central road to sur
mount its own diflic ulties, as best it can.
The location of some seventy miles of the
Rutland road is already ne arly completed, &
will shortly be ready to be put under con-
tract A more favorable line can not be
found in New England than from the village
of Burlington to the North line of Shrews-
bury, about 70 miles. The highest grade
does not exceed 40 feet to the mile; occur
ring at different points, and making in all a
bout miles, There are also some 6 miles
of 80 feet grade. Much of the remainder is
level. No curve will be required in this dis
lance of less than $500 feet radius and much
of the curvature will be not less than / 900
feet radius. A very large proportion of the
distance will be straight line. No cutting
upon the whole of the distance from Burling-
ton to Bellows Falls, will be required of a
greater depth than AZ feet, & but moderate
portion of all the cutting, will be rock. The
greatest depth of filling, will be encountered
at the celebrated valley of JEWELS brook
II feet in height and about 500 feet long
The masonry and bridging will be unusually
moderate in quantity-and it is understood
that no curve will be required at any point
of a less radius than 1000 feet.
When this road is built in the manner in
which it doubtless will be, it can be run with
passenger trains from 12 to 1-2 hours
from Burlington to Bellows Falls.
The location for Depot at Burlington, for
convenience and facility of transacting the
business of the company, both for passengers
and freight, can safely challenge comparison
with any other road in the country. Its con-
venience and facility for the transaction of
business passing to or coming from the Lake
cannot be equalled
Without this road some of the bestparts of
Western Vermont must sink into compare
tive insignihcance. With it, the whole will
increase in prosperity, wealth and influence,
with rapidity seldom equalled.
This road will, in the end, divert the
business of Western Vermont from New
York, (Which has hitherto been the market)
to Boston, and the manufacturing towns of
Massachusetts and New Hampshire. 1t will
especially afford the farmers the means Of
carrying the products of the dairy, cheaply
and speedily to their favorite markets, adding
the difference in the cost Of transportation,
at least to the value of those products.
The foregoing thoughts and statements
have been thrown out in the hope of leading
to full exhibition of the merits and superior
advantages of the Rutland road, over its COM
pctitor, and over every other road in New
England. }.

The writer of the foregoing knows where
of he affirms and, for myself and allnterest-
ed in the construction of the Champlain and
Connecticut River Railroad, 1 tender him
thanks for his timely and appropriate article.
One reason why have said so little of late,
on the merits of this route, was, did not
suppose Capitalists would be likely to add
much to the subscription for stock, until the
decision of the New Hampshire R. r. Com
mssioners, in regard to the western terminus
ton of the Cheshire road, was given. An
other reason was, l was necessarily so much
engaged in business of another kind that l
could not well centre my mind on looking up
and arranging statistics of such nature as
would secure the attention of those whose aid
we need. I had designed, however, that
when the decision spoken of, should be Off
cially published, l would endeavor to pre-
sent to our readers from time to time such
statistics and deductions as would tend to
awaken such an interest as would, with the
aid of of others, ensure the speedy construc-
ton of this road
In behalf of those interested / now ask the
writer of the foregoing article, to let us hear
from him again and again until success shall
have crowned the labors of himself and others
in this GREAT project
