at both ends to be launched upon it, and this
alone will ensure the success of the entire

will be built There is no railroad enterprise
in New Englard that promises SO well as an
Investment We but reiterate the well weigh
ed opinion OF one of the wealthiest and best

GEN BUTLER's PLAN = Mr. Butler has
caused tito be proclaimed that he thinks that
it would be well to have a little war with Eng
land, first because it would be more effectua
for stopping importations into this country
than anything else, and second because it would
destroy the industry of England. The N. Y.
Post is so captious as to object to this plan and
proposes the following substitute:
But we will tell General Butler how he caa
attain alltbat be is aiming at without SO much
bloodshed; for, after all, beneficial as a war
might be, and glorious as its conclusion must
be with General Butler and the American
eagle to conduct the campaigns, there would
inevitably remain considerable number OF
widows and orphans, who are not usually hap
py beings. NHe
Let Mr. Butler form company, to be called
the great American Chinese Wall Company,
with the object of filling up our harbors, and
building wall of solid masonry, one hundred
feet high and two hundred feet wide, around
the whole country. Let him apply to Con-
gress for alternate sections Of land, and a sub
sidy of half a million dollars per mile: and as
Congress is sure to grant il, let him and his
company goto work.
BY such an enterprise he would provide en-
ployment for great number of men for q
number of years; be would, according to the
protecH0nist' theory, greatly enrich the
country by keeping out foreign goods; be
would make the Americans what every pro
tectionist desires them to be, an independent
nation;'' and he would provide, for the future,
large number of places-as watchmen, gate
keepers and bell-ringers---to reward good pro-
tectionists with
And England would starve just the same ;
for General Butler, being statesman knows
that no sooner was her commerce with this
country interrupted than, as he says: "de-
prived of a market for her manufactures, her
artisans and shopkeepers, thrown out of en-
ployment and out OF business, would institute
bread riots and rise in insurrection all over
the kingdom" Poor England Was it because
he saw through Butler that Mr.. Goodwin
Smith abandoned his native country, which
he knew would presently be ruined?

To the Editor Of the Press:
Spending thousands of dollars as we have
for identifying our city, why cannot something
be done for our comfort? l presume all who
have walked or ridden in our streets for the
past month, will admit that the great draw.
back on our pleasures in summer is the clouds
of dust that fill the air.
The street watering, depending as it does on
individual subscriptions, has been very badly
done, and our streets have not been so uncom-
Portable of late years as during the present
season.
Now why will not the City Government dc
as is done in other cities, water all the CHIEF
streets thoroughly, paying part of the expenses
from the city treasury and assessing the bal
ance on the residents on those streets?
Once cover the streets with a good coating
of salt water, and it is very easy to keep the
dust laid afterwards. 1t would add to the
beauty of thecity and to the comfort of all.

THE SOMERSET RAILROAD The lease of the
Belfast and Moosehead Railroad to the Port
land and Kennebec road is causing great COM
motion among the friends of the Somerset road,
now being built. The Anson Advocate
wishes to avoid the building of competing
road, which it regards as an inevitable result
of the lease, by compromise, at the terms of
which it only hints. The Advocate says:
In view of this competing line, we believe
the Maine Central, with which our road now
proposes to connect, and which has largely
subscribed to its stock, will assent to any COM
promise that will give them idemnity for the
past-leastwise we do not believe that they de-
sire to take the risk in the face of such compe-
tltion. With the right spirit conciliation OF
all conflicting interests may be reached and a
compromise effected that will be beneficial to
all concerned. That we can save three hum
dred thousand dollars, and get rid of all compe-
tition, is sufficient to warrant an effort to that
end 7rf4aIi.4

THE PORTLAND AND OGDENsBUUG RAIL
RoAD.-The statement in an editorial arti-
Gle published yesterday that the Ogdensburg
and Lake Champlain railroad has agreed to
give the Portland and Ogdensburg road the
preference over other connecting roads, was
not entirely warranted, as we have since
learned, by the facts. But an arrangement
has been made which will secure the Portland
route against any adverse discrimination on
the part of the Ogdensburg and Lake Cham
plain road. From the last report of the Di-
rectors of the Ogdensburg and Lake Cham
plain Railread we make the following ex-
tract:r ~
The progress of railway improvements, both
east and west of us, will in the future largely
increase cur business The Portland and Og-
densburg and Plattsburg and Whitehall roads,
to which allusion was made in our last report
are being pushed forward by the people along
the lines of country through which they run.
The former has been organized, and their
Board of Directors, comprising some of the
most substantial and enterprising gentlemen
in Maine assure us that the road will be put
under contract without delay.
The General Superintendent in his report
says that, "With the completion Of the Port
land and Ogdensburg and the Plattsburg and
Whitehall railroads, and the Niagara and HUI
ron canals, all of which are destined surely to
be built it is not extravagaut to prophesy a
large ratio of increase Of Business"
