Southern journal cannot compete with the North

The Southern Literary Gazette
rivals the best or them IN all the characteristics OF
a truly valuable fresde Journal. Its aim il the
diffusion of cultivated and refined taste tlfrouoh..t

folds ever species of intelligence that can tend to

SION OF choice miscellany, selected from the best
American and European sources
The tone Of the "Gazette" is independent >,
criticism and in the discussion Of every legitimate
topic, but ii is strictly
Neutral in Politics aud Religion
Its columns are occasionally embellished with
Southern Portraits and Landscapes,

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
TTNDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Bographi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens w no have become
iustrious in the service of the country Every por
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument TO the great OF the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior TO any that have
been taken In the accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper by % riches, ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only are admitted, whose talents
and public services have Won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de
partments of life wl have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make era in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
ilnsrious OF the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly
As no work of this kind has appeared in Amonca,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most OF our citizens, tho publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore
established the following

It's soul in patience The Extension of III,
Rutland and Burlington Road to Swanton is no
more parallel road than one leg of right
onglcd triangle is parallel to the hypothenuse
And the cases are no more parallel than the
roads would be 1t is inexprcssbl' absurd to
talk about a railroad from Essex Junction" to
Castleton There is about as rational a chance
of getting charter for such Railroad, from
the Vt. Legislature, as there is of getting putty
introduced as 4 substitute for cast iron
The Waterman is sensible paper, and does
not name the "new project" it says "for the
purpose of advocating or defending it at ALL
1t names it, therefore, for buncombe" " Es-

cline to the opinion that those who have com.
bincd to make it SO will "sec whore they

'rdnch road from Essex is simply an absurduy,
The Central Road has done nothing more nor
less than build a fence to prevent her doing any
Northern business. This fact need not be
onger disguised. The Vermont Central Rail
road doubtless governed by its own consic-
tons of what it owes to itself and the publcl
does nothing but DAMAGE to Burlington. Il

80 far as it conveniently can. i is fooishy try
ing to make something of the "Essex Junction"
at the expense Of Burlington. 1t mentions Es-
sex junction and Rouse's Point, in its Hands
bills and NJ Fps, and says not word Of Buring-

the Central Road to come TO Burlington, as il
is for Burlington that the Central Road should
come to it.
But this is aside from our purpose. Bur.

da and Rouse's Point? That is the great
question We do not precisely know wlat
Burlington is expected to debut she OUGHT
to do all that is expected. Tie time has final
~ arrived when, amid the noise and confusion
o Railroad rivalries, she must do something for
herself. Give her chance and she will do it.
The extension of the Rutland Road to Swan
ton is project in which she iG more deeply
Interested, we venture to say, than size has ev.
err been il any Public Enterprise before. The
simple question is whether or not Darlington
is to be content with railroad Accommodations
that present the nsuperabe obstacle of 100 feet
trades, Northwarls. This is the question:
As things now are, Burlington has, PRACTICAL
Lr, no facilities for the transportation OF Pas
sengcrs and Freight going North, 1t is idle
to talk for moment OF the facilities offered by
the Vermont Central, or tho perpetual servant
of the Vermont Central the Vermont and Can
ada Road. Burlington is completely diSabied
by the enormous grades that have been made
4 nterpose between her and the Vermont Gem
trail Road at Essex. The Vermont Central
Road has repudiated Burlington. In its Hand
bills and its Maps, it does not pretend to not'el
sny such point as Burlington. 1t gives notice
to the Public, by its Hand bills, that its Cars
run Gom b ,ston to S.. Adams and Rouse 4
Point, and, by its Map, Iha; there is no suct
thing, in any authentic geography, as Burlng

fact alone, considering the immense size Of the
