him, pitched over the railing of the

favorably with other Vermont roads,
and at cost OF about $4,000 per

thousand dollars, the distance being
from forty to forty-three miles. On the
whole line, from Montpelier to Portland
he thinks there will be no up grade

FRIDAY, MAY II, 1867.
No War I'm Europe.


Recent advices from the Old World
give us the details OF an arrangement
by which the contest OF arms that has
been rumored for several months as sure
to take place between several OF the
European powers, is to be avoided. This
was foreshadowed when the hostile
countries agreed to submit their differ
ences to congress. The Great Powers
have guaranteed the neutrality OF Lux
emburg, consenting that that duchy may
remain in the hands Of the King OF Hol'
land, and the Notifications OF the town
are to be dismantled, and Prussia Is TO
withdraw her forces. Lord Stanley al
ways used to say that nothing could
ever induce him TO interfere in the quar-
rels of other countries, but he discov-
cred that his government could always
live in neutral position, and England
has for the first time In several years
taken position and 1t seems a success
full stand in continental affairs, and the
result of the conference will not be dis
advantageous to the policy OF Lord
Stanley.
The Parliamentary proceedings show
that when the Secretary of Foreign AT
fairs was catechised in the House of
Commons as to the reasons which in
duced the ministry to agree to guaran-
tee on their own responsibility, informed
the House that they had only adopted
previous treaty made.in 1889 to the
present changed condition Of Germany,
and that England had rather drawn her
responsibilities into narrower compass
than extended it by the proceedings OF
the conference. In view of the threat
ening attitude of France and Prussia,
and the willingness manifested by the
other parties interested in the treaty to
renew it and bind themselves to see 1t
faithfully executed, 1t is very plain no
other course in honor could be pursued
by England. The indications are that
the opposition are very glad to have the
matter settled, although the action Of
the ministry gave rise to fault-fnding
debate.
Notwithstanding this conference, it is
highly questionable whether peace has
been established on permanent basis
when we consider the jealousy Of the
Emperor Napoleon Of the new empire
and his wish to cripple or humble it
and thus he carries with him the sympa
thy Of the English aristocracy. Al
though we have the fact that the bone
of contention between France and Prus
STA is settled, the two nations are nc
better friends than before, as neither
France or Germany have gained an!
point by the arrangement which dispose
of the question as to who is the Lawful
ruler of the Duchy Of Luxumburg.

LAMoILLE COUNTY.-The people Of the
Lamoille Valley are good deal reused
on the project Of railroad through that
beautiful valley, to form portion Of
the new Portland and Ogdensburgh line.
The strong points of their case, are that
a connection from St. Johnsbury to
Georgia, VT, but the line of the LamOille,
would very considerably shorten the
distance from st. Johnsbury to Ogdens
burgh, and open a fine region Of tie
State, now without railroad facilities.
They note also the fact that the people
of Montpelier seem to be indisposed to
put funds into any new railroads, while
they are ready, they say, to contribute
handsomely. A correspondent Of the
Burlington Free Press in Cambridge is
of the opinion that that town would
vote 1000, in aid of the project, and
other towns in the valley in proportion.
Among the interests which would be
greatly aided by such road, is the Cam
bridge and Mount Mansfield Turnpike
Co., which has nearly raised the neces-
sary funds for the completion of its car
riage road on to the mountain, and the
Wolcott Hone and Stone Co., now work
ing on capital of 100000. It would
undoubtedly be favorite route for the

CALIFoRNIA-California has made the
world open its incredulous eyes to see
her exporting the breadstufs and other
agricultural products for which short
time ago she was paying exorbitant rates,
But she is walking ahead in other mat
tiers as well, and will soon be her own
machinist as well as farmer. 1t was
not many years ago that mining ma
chinery from "the States" was one of
the largest items Of expenditure now
we are sending out to California foun-
dries for California mills, and not only
the mineral States west Of the Rocky
Mountains, but Eastern andl Southern
mines are beginning to use Pacific ma
chinery. The large tract just outside Of
San Francisco, called the 'Potrero," is
being rapidly filed with mills, factories,
foundries, glassworks, &C, and the first
rolling mill in California will soon begin
to work the first iron from the noun
tains of Oregon. The latest and most
ambitious attempt is the building Of
several small iron steamers, Of $50 tons
burden, for local transportation on Lake
Chapala, which lies about seventy-fve
miles back Of Manzanillo, one of the
Mexican coal depots for the Pacific Mail
Line. The lake is about a hundred miles
long, and is connected by a forty-mile
railroad with Guadalaxara, with which
town it has an inland freight traffic Of
about a thousand tons per week. So
that with the prospect Of peace and
trade in Mexico, the continued growth
Of Oregon and Washington, the lumber
interests and fisheries Of Sitka, and the
newly opening commerce with the East
Indies, not to mention her own interior
activity and the rush that will come
with the Pacific Railroad California will
have use for all these facilities for her
future business.

ground for interference of the court, and
as that officer had threatened to carry
out similar acts in Mississippi, Robert j
Walker argued before the Court on these
premises, who maintained that the mo
ton to amend coald not be received, but
that supplemental bill should be pre-
scented and also officially announced al

desired by the counsel for the State, tina
