Rouse's Point, Railroads, &c.

Having had occasion to pay n flying visit to
Rouse's Point which has been talked about more
)r less for the last two years by those who sought
20 render it the termination of the Northern or
)gdensburgh Railway, we tork especial notice
If the advantage of its location and the progress
OF the survey with view to constructing at that
point bridge across Lake Champaign
Rousc's Point is post village in the town of
Champlain, situate 23 miles North from Platts
burgh, containing perhaps thousand inliabit
ants. II wears the appearance of being place
of thriving business and is pleasant place of
residence. The United States Fort-which is
now in process of construction lies nearly a
mile North of the village and only few rods
distant from The Divisional line established by
the Treaty of Washington.
Near the village of Chanplain, which lies five
miles West of Lake Champain, fue hundred la.
borers were at work on the Ogdensburgh Rail-
road. 1t is supposed that in few months at
least thirty miles of the track will be laid and be
ready for freight and gravel cars to aid in the
construction of the remainder of the line which
is all under contract The terminus of the road
on the Lake shore is North of the Village and a
few rods south OF Rouse's Point proper. This
point is not far from Windmill Point, being dis
tant only 1871 feet by actual admeasurement. -
The distance across the Lake where the project
ed bridge is certainty to be built, is 1921 feet
that being wider by almost one Il ousand feet
than at the narrowest place opposite Rouse's
Point proper. The depth Of the water at this
place is twice as great as 1t is further below 1t
being fy-eight feet. Notwithstanding this, the
construction of bridge which will resist the &C.
ton of all the contending clemens is perfect,
easy. The site for the depot is very excellen
and lies South of the Government Land. 1t i,
conjectured that part of the Government Lane
will be required for the purpose of constructing
a connecting line o. railroads to the city Of Mon
trunl.
This connecting link of railway communica
ton between Boston and Montre i wl strike tn,
river st. Lawrence at point deemed the mos
favorable for the construction Of bridge acros
that river. The distance from Rouse's Point L
the river, under such an arrangement, will not b,
greater than it would be if the line were extend
ed from st. Johns to Rousc's Point
A charter has already been obtained from thu
Provincial Govern nent for railway from s,
Johns to Rouse's Point, and whether a dlrec
line is built or the connection with the st. Law
renee and Champlain railroad is made it IS quit
probable that Rouse's Point will be the foot q
steam navigation. If that be so. the old obstruC
tons to navigation below Houses Point will b
avoided and the objection that a bridge wi
hinder steam ,vigntlnn will be entirely obviatet
At Ruuse'f Point, then, will be the Joint of d

SHALL WE HAVE SLAVES IN CALIFORNIA p
This is the heading of long article which APP
pears in the California STAR of the 25ih of last
March IA file of which paper to the lst of April,
reached us yesterday. We can only allude TO
it now, by saying that it is bold, decided and I'M
compromising in its opposition to the iniroduc
ton of slavery into California. The writer says
that there is not slave in California, and the
power of the Home Government is inadequate
to their Introduction into that Territory. "Those
who attempt to transfer their slaves from the
east 10 the west of the Rocky Mountains, will
meet with the inevitable loss of their property
They might as well attempt TO remove them to
New England, or to Canudu." 1t is said, g that
the simple recognition of slavery here would be
looked upon as n greater misfortune to the Ter
rtory than though California had remained in
its former state" 1t declares that neither the
SOIL the climate, nor the productions of CalIfor-
MIA suited to slave labor, and that they could
not be held in bondage there. 1t says that Con-
gress has no right to bequeath such calamity
to the country, contrary to the wishes Of the
peope.-& LOUIS Rep, Sept 3
