THE NEW ERA.

GEN. TAYLOR AND HIS VIEws.-A writer il
count of conversation held with Gen. Taylor
on a recent visit TO his home at Baton Rouge
We extract so much of his letter as appears tc
be of general interest; simply promising that
although it appears in an anonymous form, we
have no doubt of it's authenticity, and that Gen.
TAYLOR will act in accordance with the views
here attributed to him:
General Taylor told me that he was already
overwhelmed with applications for Office, SO much
devoted to business TO read the numerous letters
many of which are long and tedious, SO that
it is quite out of his power 10 give answers.
Besides" says the General, 81 am not yet
President, and when | am let these applications
be made through the proper departments, and if
il is wished TO remove an incumbent let 1t be
shown that he does not answer the JeffersoDian
standard for an office holder, and that tie app.
cant does; for as far as lies in my power, in
tend that all new appointments shall be of men
honest and capable. | do not intend 10 remove
any man from office, because he voted Against
me, for that is freeman's privilege; but such
dissertation of office and official patronage as
some Of them have been guilty OF, to secure the
election Of the master whom they served as
slaves, is degrading to the character of Ameri-
can freemen, and will be good cause for reno
val of friend or foe. The offices OF the govern
ment should be filled with men Of all parties /;
and as expect 10 find many of those now hold
ing to be honest good men, and as the new APP
pointmcns will CT course be Wings, that will
bring about this result Although DO not In
tend to allow an !ndscriminate removal, yet 1t
greves me to think that it will be necessary to
require great many 10 give place to better lncn.
AS to my Cabinet, intend that oil interests
and all sections OF the country shall be repre-
scented, but NOT, Ps some of the newspapers viii
have it, all parties. | am Wing, as have al
ways been tree to acknowledge; but ! do not
believe that those who voted for me wished Inc
to be a mere partisan President and shall there
fore try to be President of the American peo-
pie. AS TO the rev territory, IL is now free, and
slavery cannot exist there without law of Con.
gress authorizing it. aud that | do not believe
they will ever pass. was opposed to the &C
QUESTION of this territory as | also was to the
acquisition of Texas. was opposed TO the war,
and although by occupation warrior, | am
peace man."
Upon the subject of improving our great riv-
ers and lakes, the friends OF that measure may
rest satisfied that they have q friend in President
Taylor.
Gen Taylor was siXty-four years old last No
vember. He is row hale and hearty, and in the
full enjoyment OF his naturally strong intellect
ual faculties.
The Albany Journal states, on reliable auth
oTity, that the above is authentic. 1t certainly
is accordant with the Allison letter.

Coming this Way.

One section of the Railroad project fron Mon
trea TO the State line has been opened-32 miles
and is now in working condition.
The Montreal Transcript has the following
notice OF the first excursion Of the Steam Engine
into the Eastern section OF Canada - Caiedonian

clnthe, on Thursday morning. The intense
GOODNESS of the day, and the bad stale of the rv-

prevented many persons in this city from taking
advantage OF the invitation of the Directors; but
no such obstacles presented itself on the other
side OF The river, and at eleven o'clock, when The
cars left the terminus at Longueil, about two
hundred persons had avnlled themselves of the

considerable depth OF snow had fallen only a
day or two previously to the opening of the road

convenience.
AS was 10 be expected quite an excitement
was created at st. Hyacinthe by the expected
advent OF the steam engine and cars, but few OF
the inhabitants had seen anything OF the kind,
and the whole village turned out as for holiday.
The journey back occupied an hour and twenty
minutes, and Longuell was again reached about
a o'clock in the afternoon, all parties highly
pleased with the excursion"

RAILROAD MATTERS.

O. IN old Railroad Proiect. part of the
Ogdcnsburgh ~. W road is finished, as stated
in our paper fortnight since. On the 9Th of
Dec. 1879, the Waterman contained an article
from correspondent advocating Railroads as
preferable to canals, and suggesting "Ra-
road leading from Boston in Massachusetts to
Ogdensburgh in the State of New York. The
make the road to Lowell; then follow up the
Merrimac River to Plymouth N. H.; then cross
Connecticut river TO Bradford, VT; thence from
Bradford to Burlington, through the Valley
of Onion River" &c. 1t is worthy Of remark
that no,o railroads are constructed, or in the pro-
cess of construction, over the entire line sugges.
ted, except from Bradford TO Montpelier At
that time it was expected that the trains would
be drawn by horses, but DR.. jackson of Boston
predicted that steam would be made available.
The clever Doctor modestly calculated that a
double track would abe equal TO sloop navga-
ton" and the public were faithless at that By
The way, if the Ogdensburgh and Boston line
has an earlier supporter than the Watchmau.
and its correspondent, bring him on that we may
honor him.
GIVE are told that some of the Por,landers
are opposed to tie new Portland, Montpelier and
Montreal route. If they find it the shortest and
cheapest route, to both Montreal and Ogdens-
ourgh, they will change their tune-probably.
We are glad TO learn that the Panfed people
are moving for survey.
OFNln l945 we loaned to some engineer or
the Central Road report of canal survey
through Vermont. Please return it.

business. An extension of the road will in.
crease this business fat beyond the proportion to
the distance extended.

masterpiece, both of the painter and the engra-

this copy, like all others Of the American edition,
is printed flon the original plate. 1t is truly a
splendid picture, and this may be said also oil
several other specimens, which may be seen by
calling upon GEO. w. ScoTT, the agent We
think every gentleman of judgment and taste
will find these engravings to be very desirable
as specimens of art and valuable also for the
portraits of celebrated personagcs and the

Burlington & Rutland Railroad,

The question is daily asked at what time the
completion OF the Burlington aud Rutland Rail
road may be justly anticipated. The works are
now in such a condition of forwardnesS to
warrant an authoritative answer 10 this question.
Upon the northern Division Of the road, from
Burlington to Brandon, the rails can doubtless
be laid and ready for use IN the course OF the
month Of July next That portion of the road
between Brandon and Rutland, cannot be finish
ed SO promptly, but Will be ready for the track
early in September or ut furthest by October LIST.
On the southern division of the road, the line
from Bellows Falls northward to Cavcndish Tor
nearly some twenty miles, will be ready for the
rails early in the spring the season will per-
init them to be laid On the whole it is safe to
promise, making due allowance for the delay
which may be encountered at the more difficult
points, and Tor the various contingencies OF the
future, that the entire work from Burlington to
Bellows Falls will be ready for public use within
the present year. Our Burlington gallants 1--WE

The number Of votes given in favor of Louis
Napoleon is already the greatest ever given in
France. When Napoleon was made Emperor
of France, he had only 3,52l ,675 votes, although
the poll was open tor month. France was nOt
