ga Business Man, Answered.

In answer to the communication of "a busi-
ness man" in our issue of yesterday, we have
been informed that the agent of the Portland
and Ogdensburg railroad, with some of the
other corporators have had an interview with
the directors Of the Rome and Watertown rail-
road at New York; also with the Ogdensburg
and Lake Champlain directors at Boston, that
they received encouragement from those roads
to expect material aid from them, and that an
offer of aid has been actually made on their
part. Also that the towns on the line of the
proposed road are actively moving, and that
meetings will be called to vote upon the cues
ton of taxing their towns the five per cent. al
lowed by the act of the Legislature; and that
there is no doubt of favorable result in eyery
town There is great interest manifested on
the whole route. The books for subscription
are now being prepared and will be opened in
very short time when the citizens of Port
land will have the opportunity asked for by "a
business man, "to show their faith by their
works" 1t was thought best to obtain the
town subscriptions, but the haying season and
the extreme heat of the past four weeks have
delayed action on the part of the towns much
longer than was anticipated. But the corpor-
ators have not been idle and have pressed the
matter as fast as could be done for the best in
terests of the road. The Lamoille Valley road
will organize and elect board of directors on
the 7th of August Everything is looking
most favorably for our road, and a few weeks
Will now see the preliminaries arranged and
the enterprise fairly under weigh
We are reioiced to see the interest manifest
ed by the communication of "a business man."
We are glad that the citizens of Portland do
not intend to let the corporators grow sleepy
over their work; that they look upon the du-
ties devolving upon the corporators as a trust
for which they are answerable to the active,
determined and enterprising men of Portland,
who are not only wide awake in this matter,
but are prepared, as our correspondent says, to
do all that is required of them to put it through
The same spirit that has given us first class
hotel and has built up our splendid banking
houses, our substantial stores and warehouses
and our elegant private residences, will soon
send the iron horse through the mountain
gorge, bearing rich freight of our many de-
scriptions of imported and manufactured
wares and merchandise to exchange with our
northern and western friends for their varied
productions of the farm and dairy Let the
good work go on. 't
