This leaves balance of $16s, 900 still
to be raised. "This done, and the road
is sure" Mr.. ~Hendee says. We quote
from the appeal:
We can have a railroad if we will
but raise $186,000. We have O di lance
of rs miles inwhich to do it, and if every
man along the line will make up his
to do just what he can affo,d to do, and
do 1t now, We shall have no difficulty in
raising the required balance and this
done, the road will be certain. We cam
not afford to lay idle longer. Books of
subscription will be opened Immediate
along the whole line, and we hope to
see such spirit manifested among the
people at the outset as will encourage
the directors to work on until the end
10 accomplished. If the people hang
back, 1t discOurages the working men of
this enterprise while if the people
come manfully to their duty, it will
give them all the courage necessary.
We have said from the start that So
600 to the mile would secure the road.
We say 80 now. There will be no en-
ergy lacking on the part of the direc-
tors, and if there is no lack of lib arali!y
on the part of the people, we shall be
accommodated by Railroad within the
next two and one-half or three years.

bors on this subject, and allow them to

The LamOiiie Tukiey RdiirOud.
DECEMBER II, 1868.

The Hyde Park NeWsdedltr justifies
the action of the members from Lam lille
County, in voting against the enabling
act asked for by the tC wn of st. Adams,
through her representative. 1t believes
there was no jealousy towards st. AL
bans, on the part of members from La
mobile. and their inclinations were to
vote for the measure. But" 1t contin-
ues. "we were committed to the Shei-
don route, and Swanton terminus, be-
cause st. Adams last year turned the
cold shoulder to us. and Cambridge had
placed huge impediment in the way
of that route" The people II Lamoiile
being at present engaged to Fairfield,
Sheldon and Swanton, our wide-awake
contemporary declares, that they do
not propose to flirt nor hob-nob with
st. Adams, at least against the wishes
of their accepted friends in those towns,
of whom there il no doubt about the
genuineness of their friendship" The
Netosdcalsr concludes it's article as fol-
lows:
Now, az we look upon the matter, we
have but one course to pursue. W e
must bend all our energies for the sue
cess of the route to Swanton, to which
we are honorably committed, as long as
the people on that route assist as they
are now doing. This was the precise
course pursued by st. Johnsbury to-
wards us. AS long as they stood engag-
ed to Montpelier, we could not negotiate
with them. Such duplicity would have
been dishonorable and given us but lit
tie confidence in the men who could
have praoticed it. AS we need all our
strength concentrated upon single
1oute, it will not do to scatter our forces.
We say, then, put on full steam for
Swanton, and not blow the whistle to
break up until we see real danger
ahead!
In the same issue of the NeWsdedter
is an, appeal to the friends of the
Lamoille Valley Railroad from the
pen of G. w. Hendee, of Morrisville,
who says that the prospects for success
were never better. The sum of 500, OOO
$40, 900 to the mile in stock-is requir-
ed to be raised between West Danville
and Swanton to make sure of road. Oh

Heiter from Eoudoun County.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette, ]
LEEsBURG, Va, Nov. FL met tonight
with party Of gentlemen from Washington
city and New York, who had been to see the
marble quarry of Mr.. B. F. Carter. Among
them was Mr.. Chadwick, of Wizards Hotel.
They seem to be exceedingl y we'll pleased with
the agricultural resources OF LOudoun county,
saying that it is among the best regions IN the
United States The quarry is said by them to
be very valuable, the marble being equal to the
best marble ever found in the United States. -
But in addition to all this Mr.. Carter has a
barn built OF sandstone, which is pronounced
as very superior in fineness and grit, indeed as
exceedingly valuable for grindstones
The feasibility of getting water communica-
ton was incidentally mentioned and it is pos
sible that the much abused Goose Greek navi-
CATION may be recommended and completed, or
branch road built from Leesburg to Mounts
vile. The distance is about eleven miles, and
the general railroad law now authorizes ten
mile branch The difference of level between
Leesburg and Carter's Mill is 81 feet (the lat
ter being lower, and thence the rise is 20 feet
to Mountsville. Of course, there is rolling
grade, but an estimate of the greatest grade
either way may be fairly made at forty feet to
the mile.
Mr.. Carter will probably find his Creek Hills
the best part of his farm, and so may some
others of his naighbors.
