Bangor and Augusta Railroad.

A meeting, attended by citizens Of the towns
between Augusta and Bangor, was holden at
State Street Chapel in Augusta, Thursday,
May 18th, to consider the subject of railroad
from Augusta TO Bangor, via Vassalboro,
Chna, A lbon, Unity, &c. The meeting was
calledto order by Gem Marshall of China, and
F. A. Batman,. Esq, Of Dixmont, was chosen
chairman, and B. A. G. Fuller, of Augusta,
Secretary. ---,,--,-----.....- --.---.- ----
The report of the Engineer, who has. recent
y made survey from Augusta to Unity, was
read. The advantages of the route are pre-
scented in very favorable light. From point
on the contemplated Somerset road, FIVE miles
from Augusta bridge 10 Unity, the expense OF
the Bangor road is estimated at only $lO,3s
per mile.
Speeches were made BY Ex-Gov. Anderson,
of Belfast, Hon. Ruel Wiliame of Augusta,
and others. 1t will require only 20 miles of
road TO connect Belfast with this road al Unity
The Committee appointed at a meeting of
citizens relative to a Railroad to Augusta, via
China, &c, to present the facts in relation TO
the proposed route, make the following state
ment:
The prominent advantages to be gained, are

Bangor and Portland is less than by any other
route Is miles.
The route follows the former survey of the
kennebec and Somerset road 10 the north line
of Augusta, miles.
From the north line Of Augusta to Unity,
the route is more level than any other proposed
route-the highest grade 10 the mile being but
20 feet.
The least radius 10 any curve is $500 feet.
The cost of the road per mile only SIC, 1856.
The distance from Augusta TO Unity 81 miles
The length over which the Somerset and
kenncbec road might pass on said route
without material increase of distance, IL to 16
miles.
The distance from Bangor to strike said
Somerset and kennebec road, AZ 10 81 miles
The distance from Unity 10 Bangor is 80
miles
TINS part of the route is mostly very level

being 40 feet
The whole route passes through populous
and active business community, viz: Augusta,
Nassalboro, China, Albion. Unity, Troy, Dix

Legislative Proceedings.

AUGUSTA, May "a, 1851.
II has now become a settled fact that we are
to have a short session of the Legislature this
Summer-the Committee having unanimously
agreed upon Tuesday, the Sd of June, as the
day on which to adjourn, and their repor, has
been accepted by each branch. This will make
reasonably short session-but three weeks in
1ength-and we doubt not will be satisfactory
to the people. The presentation of the peti
uons mas not as yet, been affected by the early
unmistakable expression in favor of an adionrn-
ment-some of them will be pressed for imme-
ate action and no doubt will receive it.

be no lack of it, on the democratic side Of tho
house-the wing party is no better off the

for they have but one that will probably at.

TO allow him to slip smoothly through the

times to the infinite amusement of the wing
portion of the branch. But my design is not
to go into any minute description of character
until there has been a better opportunity af--
