WELLS RIVER RAILROAD. - Walton's
Journal after having condemned the
way in w.jch tae enabling act in aid OF
the Montpelier aud Wells River Railroad
was defeated, now says it was probably
a blessing, a. the belief is gaining
ground that the road can be built with
out bonding any town, although it will
take 3 little longer to do it, but not half
so long as to build the road from st,
Johnsbury to Portland, nor will it take
half so long time as that to complete
the line from Montpelier to Portland via
Wells River, Wiers and Rochester. Our
Montpelier friends are confident this
connection can be built, which will not
only connect them with Portland, but
Portsmouth, n. H, and also open & new
route to Boston, and we have no doubt
this will be accomplished and further
the interests OF that town lar more than
any OF the other proposed routes.

THE We. india Islands were settled and

with the settlement and colonization of the
American continent. Most of the cOlouies plant
ed here became independent nations at the
close Ofthr last and the beginning of the present
century. Our own country embraces commun-
tiles which al one period were colonies of Great
Britain, France, Spain, Holland, Sweden and
Russia. The people in the West Indies, with
the exception OF those in the island of Hayu,
have neither attained nor asprcd to indcpcnd-

commercial value, they have been held by the

Of military and naval strategy in carrying out
European policy and design in regard to this
continent In our Revolutionary war, ports and
harbors in the West India Islands were used by
our enemy to the great injury and embarrass-

pyperignCe Ia our second war with Great
Britain. The same European policy Tor long
time excluded us even from trade with the
West Indies while we were at peace with all
nations. In our recent civil war the rebels and

which tuey 100 successfully accomplished, OF

we are now engaged in rebuilding We labored
especially under this disadvantage.-that Eu-
ropean steam vessels, employed by our enemies,
found friendly shelter, protection and supplies
in West India ports, while our own naval opera

distant shores. There was than a universal
feeling ofthe want of an advanced naval outpost
between the Atlantic coast and Europe The
duty Of obtaining such an outpost peacefully
and lawfully while neither doing nor menaclng
injury to other States, earnestly engaged the
attention of The Executive Department before
the close Of the war, and it has not been lost
