The Northern Railroad.

We were informed last week by the Presi-
dent of the Northern or Lebanon Rail Road
Company, that there were now employed on
that Road 700 men, The work is going ahead
just right This week they intended to put in
operation stdam Engine oftrcmendous pow
err This they are TO use TO root through hills.
II IL sent up TO hill, and the shovel attached
to it il pushed into il and loaded, and Off il
goes to the place where the dirt is to be dcpos-
tied.
This road it is anticipated, will be completed
in the course of year or a little more-from
Concord to the mouth of White River;--and
should the New Hampshire Legislature grant
n charter for branch from Canaan to the Or
ford Bridge, the snme Corporation will build
the branch--as part of the Northern Road
we suppose The distance is II miles.
Should the aforesaid Legislature refuse such
n charter the means will be furnished TO car
ry the Connecticut and Passumpsic road from
the point where il is now survcycd-Orford
Brdge--down to the mouth of White River,
This however, will not be done, at present, un-
less n, Hampshire should, by refusing proper
charter to the Northern Road to build the
branch compel the Connecticut and Passump-
sic Corporation to do it. There will be soon how
ever, n rond running down the whole valley of
the Connecticut and extend to n. York City.

NEW HAMPSHIRE. The Hale party
held a Convention at Concord few days
since. 1t was attended, AS the Concord papers
saw. by about 400 "Hale Democrats" MIR
Hale made an address which is spoken of us
an eloquent and powerful production He is,
without much doubt, the greatest orator ofthe
locofoco party in the State. The convention
nominated the Hon. NntlI'l $. Berry, recently
of Bristol but now residing at Hebron,for Gov
crnor. He is an Independent locofoco, and
somthing such man as Mr. Hale in his opin-
ions upon the Texas and slavery question:
The Sd party have also nominated Mr. Berry
for the same office. The Wings support Gen
Anthony Colby, of New London, for Govern
or.
The regular South Carolina and Texas To-
cofoco party of N. Hampshire support the Hon.
Jared w. Williams of Lancaster, for Govern
or. The opinion prevails that the people 'oont
elect him, however
The people of New Hampshire are beginning
TO think that it is best to protect our own in
dustrv rather than 90 for Great Britain alto
pether with Mr. Polk and his party, and also
that that party have extended slavery about
far enough

The Connecticut and Passump-
sic r. r. Company

Intend, so soon they get ready, ~ we
understand it, to set about and complete, as
soon rs practicable, IA miles of their road
miles north of Oxford Bridge, provided the y.
Hampshire Legislature shall grant the branch
to thnt point TO The Northern Road--and
should they not do this, 40 miles north from
the mouth Of white River.
It is ntimuted that the n Hampshire Leg.
islaturc may refuse TO do this-though we be-
Iicvc they will do no such thing-and hence
the propricty ofthc survey from Oxford Bridg"
TO White River We believe there are funds
provided to build these 40 miles, and could
the work be- done so soon the northern road
shall he opened, an immediate revenue would
be- secured from the road and the stock be-
made good. 1t is their purpose to 60 on and
extend the road as rapidly as the funds can BE-
secured to do t--and be in readiness to meet
another road at ihe Line. In proposing to
build the road by sections, and not wait till
funds sufficient TO build the whole at once are
provided-two great points are designed to be
securcd-to obtain revenue as soon as pos
siblc upon the stock invested, thereby hoping
TO keep the stock good. Do this and guar
nntcc is secured that funds will not be want.
ing TO complete the unfinished part. In short
the plan is, to build as fast as the means can
be obtained-and Mr. Gilmore ofBoston assur-
ed the meeting at Wells River that the friends
of the enterprise out of the State would supply
three dollars of the capital to one furnished by
the country.
