ma We learn that tho bill for rail
road from Troy through Cambridge, Salem.
and Granville, to intersect the Rutland and
Burlington road, at Rutland has passed
the New York Legislature by handsome
majority. We regard this as one of the
most important roads for this section of
country, and for the interests Of the r &
b. road, that has as yet been projected -
forming, as it william almost strait line
from Burlington to Troy BY the carry
ing out Of this project--it seems to US that
all rival interests aroused in this matter
may be quoted AS in case Of the build
ing Of the Troy and Rutland road--of course
the friends Of the Whitehall road will only
have to build a junction road to ntcrsect
at Ca'tleton. Nothing could better accom-.
modate Rutland county than the carrying
out Of these two projects.
