THE RAIL ROAD.
Al We intimated to our readers 10
week that We should do, we, in corhpao
with several gentlemen from the Count.
and other counties Interested, went
Boston, on Tuesday of last week, our pu
pose being to see and hear whatever migi
sYsnspire OF interest to-thc great schem
Of our Valley Bead. We only knew tina
q meeting Of the great B. r. men frOr
tho East and West was to take place, o.
business Of great Importance, in connec
ten With the project and that it wa
their desire that the Lamoille Vale.
should be represented, both in Boston ant
. New York. The time set FOR our tosl
meeting, which it was not thought wis
to adjourn, precluded the party from thu
towa from going to N. y, and we wer'
obliged to make a very hurried visit tt
Boston in order to return IN season to b
present at our town meeting. We had
sufficient tins, however, to learn all that
sranspired, and so far as we feel at liber'
~ to Go so, will communicate it for the
benefit Of those interested Gov Wash
burn and Judge Rice. Of Maine, and
many other gentlemen Of wealth and in
auencs, had invited the board Of direct
srs Of the 0gdensburgh & Champlaln
B. R. to meet them in Boston to listen to
and deliberate upon certain propositions
which Gov. Wasbburn had to lay before
them, relating to the enterprise. We do
not consider ourselves OF liberty to divulge
she nature Of those propositions, and will
only say this: The Directors aforesaid
were represented by their President, and
Q majority Of the members, and listened
10 Gen. Washburn's dvelopements, plans,
and propositions with great interest, and
replied with very aattering assurances of
such asstssance as was solicited. Of course
no formal action was taken; but the
scheme elected tho warm appreciation
Of the interests represented, and their
expressions were taken as certain indi.
cation Of how the board would eventual.
~ oct. We feel at liberty to say that
very material aid may be confidently re-
lied upon from that direction.
The gentlemen present seemed to take
. broad view Of the subject; and very
daily said that Boston had no jealousy
.! the scheme. Whatever. they said,
went to build up New England in general
mus. benefit Boston in particular. 1t
vas also their opinion that the channels
Of communication between the great West
and the East could not be multiplied fast
enough to Gil the increasing demand.
Boston had no jealousy and stood in NO
fear Of commercial rival in New Eng.
land. Much pleasant talk eusued, aud a
splendid collation. was given by Pres.
Pratt at Youpg's Hotel. The company,
except ourselves and companions from
Hyde Park, left Boston on Thursday af
tcrnoon for New York city, upon gimi-
lar mission to several other great corpor-
stiOns. The gentlemen from this county
who accompanied the party ts N. Y. have
since returned, bringing the gratifying
report Of the results Of the meetings
there. which they represent as even more
fattering than the results in Boston.
Now. citizens Of this beautiful valley.
thank the Lord. and take courage. The
prospect opens brightly; and We believe
nothing but your failure to do what your
friends think it is reasonably your duty
10 do, can prevent the success of one of
the grandest schemes even completed on
this continent. All concede that this
line when completed can have no success
full competitor. 1t will cammand ell the
business il can do, and at ouce enter upon
. career Of unprecedented success. The
stock never ean depreciate. And it is
believed that no tax will ever have to be
raised by the tewus Offering aid, BY loan
Ing their credit. &c.

column that HYDE Park has made q noble
