ALBANY, N. Y, Sept 10, 1915.
Dear Bro: reached this city last night, by way
of Troy, and was few minutes too late for the New
York boat, having been detained in Troy something
like hour. Travellers should keep the direct route
to Albany. 1t is bad enough at that. So far the
rails concerned the road is great deal better
than it was year ago; the track too has been
amended but in many other respects there are evils
which only competition The travel over
this line, from Buffalo Albany, is by thousands
daily and there is for the plumbers, mis-
management, and Inconvenience that exist. 1t Is
not near so well managed own railroad. My
baggage left, through u bunder of those having
charge Of it, at Rochester. But by perseverance,
got it again at this city this morning. The telegraph
did me one good turn in this case, for which give it
credit.
| On the cars met with Horace Greeley and Thur
low Weed, two Of the most distinguished editors of
this State, as you know,--and sundry noted polii-
clans, as much talked about as most editors but Of
much less real consequence Greeley's personal APP
pearance is almost well known his fame. and
few would suppose him a remarkable man. unless
they should see him "with his hat off," He has a
head with brains in II, yet indicative Of something

The MADISON AND INDIANAPOLIS RAILROAD
In our late trip this road, had an opporuni
ty of examining personally the grea, improvements
in progress, and the large amount accomplished in
the past six months. The heavy t rail is being rap
idly but firmly laid down, and in manner not sur
passed by any road in the country. New powerful
eng mes, and cars which would put many at the east
to shame. have been added and before spoken of.
And the officers, from the President the humblest
brakeman, are gentlemen /; pleasing and accommodate
ing, and such we have seldom met with in tens Of
thousands Of miles Of railroad travelling. Constant
attention is paid TO every one, well as to their
other duties, by the officers, TO the passing to
the passengers at intervals, cooling glass of fresh
water. This 10 some may seem small matter; but
the traveller can appreciate such coureses and well
knows their worth. From present appearances, the
road will be laid with the heavy iron throughout be-
fore spring; and with the improvement. at the
"deep dggings SO called, it is bound to be as safe
and good road as any in the country. We would
speak Of It's benefits and profits, had we time and
space. But those interested will find in the official
reports Of the company, well as in the weekly re-
ports published in this paper. Suffice say, that
understand the stock 10 be thirty per cent. above
par, and not to be bad in quantities at that Success

The whig Pres, and Gen. Lane.

The noble and chivalrous LANE is now far on his
road to the distant field of his future labors, and
consequence the whole pack Of Taylor's HOUNDS
have been let loose upon him, and are now giving
vent TO the deadly malice which they dare not utter
while he was here to defend himself, He needs no
defence, however, for he is unquestonably the first
in the hearts of the people Of Indiana. even
now since he is no of US. How noble and dis
Interested are the last words which he addressed to
Indiana
"Her reputation shall never shrink from defend
ing. The reputation of her brave troops w"om |
know TO be valiant any the world can produce.
Is dear to me my own"
And vet, after all the pains which Gen. Lane has
taken the volunteers of the I'd regiment and of
Indiana in their true light before the world, the
wretches who control the wing presses Of Indiana
are coolly asserting that Gen. Lane and rot Cen
Taylor is to blame for her disgrace if she be dis
graced
The State Journal of the 9Th contained a scurril-
lous article in which it is said that "Gen Joseph
Lane has deliberately stated that which he knew to
be untrue" Now every man who knows Gen. Lane
knows that he is utterly incapable of doing any such
thing. This was TO be expected, however. for the
recklessness of the Journal is well known. The
Tippecanoe Journal, which neither supports Cass nor
Taylor and which is therefore impartial Judge,
says of the Journal:
"There is not a more unscrupuously dishonest pa
per in the Union, than the Indiana State Journal.
Formerly MIR. Defrees did seem. now and then, to
have regard for truth and honesty; now
he stops at nothing, matter how dishonest. mean,
or contemplate"
How much then be believed Of what appears
editorialy in that paper! just nothing at all.
If the Journal will publish Gen. Lanes address to
the public entire, will the whole controversy
upon that and the other evidence already before the
country. Will the editor Of the Journal have the
fairness to do this! We shall see.
