TuE PORTLAND AND rutland AND PORTLAND
AND OGDExsHURGu BR-The Portland -4rguS Of
March 10Th, contains an elaborate report Of the
managers Of the Portland and Rutland Railroad.
1t was proposed TO raise 0ne-haG the cost Of
the line by local subscription TO the stock, and
receive the loan of the credit Of the City Of Port
land, with security upon the whole line, for the
residue.
The matter did not come before the City Gov
ernment for their approval till Just at the close
of their official term. The Mayor suddenly call
ell the City Council together, and without notice
10 any one the City Council declined TO take
action in the matter, throwing the whole over 20
the next City Council The Boarl of Trade came
together and without any notice of the objects Of
the meeting passed. 4 vote approving the action
Of the City Government public meeting Of
the Board Of Trade was called, and numer0usly
attended, to hear q report from the Managers Of
the Rutland Road, and after discussion post
ponel the whole subject. As the Legislature was
about TO adjourn there was no time for the new
City Government to take action in the premises.
The matter goes over to another year.
The disclosures in the -frgus show that there
is a sharp fight between the Rutland and Ogdens-
burg interests the old City Government being
under the control of the Ogiensburg line.
The Rutland managers will prosecute the work
Of raising subscriptions on the line from Port
liant to Danbury, which insures the line TO
Rutland, and will encourage the construction Of
the line from Wells River to Montpelier.
The managers Of the Portland and Ogdensburg
line held a meeting il Portland a few days since,
at which delegates were present from the La
moille Valley railroad the Montpelier and St
Johnsbury railroad, and the Essex County rail-
road Of Vermont, the Portland and White Noun
tains and Oglensburg railroad Of New-Hamp-
shire, and Of the Portland ana Oglensburg
railroad Company Of Maine.
The Portland Press, speaking Of this meeting,
says it was " extremely harmonious snd satisfle-
tory. and measures were adopted with entire
unanimity, which will insure the commencement
of the work along the entire line at no distant
day"
Many are of the opinion that the sharp rivalry
and strong local interest awakened upon both
routes will greatly stimulate the prosecution Of
the work on both.

CUBAN ENANCTPATIOS.-The greatest advance
yet made by the patriots of Cuba towards gain
inr their independence is found in their decree
abolishing slavery. The emancipation proclama
ton which has been issued by the Cuban Re
volutionary Assembly says - Slavery, brought
to Cuba by Spanish domination, ought to be ex
tinguished with it. The central assembly there
fore decree, first, slavery be abolished; second
an indemnfcalion il to be granted to the slave
holders who sympathze with the Cuban cause;
third. the freedmen are to bear arms-thOse who
cannot shall work for the cause; fourth, the
freedmen are to have the same rights and priyil
eges as white men; fifth, all patriots, whatever
their color, are under the same obligations 10
the cause.
The Cuban Cable being wholly in the hands Of
the government party, the accounts received by
it do not altogether agr with those from other
sources. private letter from young lady in
Havana, written fortnight since, to her father
in Troy, is quoted by the Troy Times, Of which
the following is portion;
The island is in great deal more confusion
than YOU can imagine, and the insurgents have
no idea of fgiving up, for the hate is deep and
fierce on both sides, and both so determined that
unless some other country steps in, fear much
blood will be shed. All are looking with hope
to what Grant may do, and l am sure We hope
he NAV come to our assistance, for it seems
dreadful to have the island destroyed and the
blood of fathers and children spilled. The in
surgents are already 10000 strong, and increas-

the spaniards represent, but determined men,
natives of the country, who fight without shoes,
and almost without clothes, and who not liable

1t was a narrow space to dance in, to be
sure, for the spectators crowded the room
and blocked the doorways, and at slo'Rg part
ners the small bows were extinguished by a
rush of skirts toes were often trodden on
but corns are not fashionable in the country;
dresses were torn and hastily pinned uD. and
the universal feeling seemed to be, ''0n with
the dance-let JOY be unconfned.' As one
dance ended new set was instantly formed,
until all had "shaken a leg" and Josh was
as hOarse as an unlubricated cart wheel, and
even 'Lishe's stalwart arm was weary.
Then the hospitable Barnabas produced big
pitcher of cider, wherewith the dancers were
refreshed an again summoned Lishe to strike
up. Some Of the ladies feared it was late,
but the Bickford boy had sagaciously set the
clock back a whole hour, and their fears
were quieted. Dance followed dance with
little variety, but immeasurable enjoyment
cOtillons and French fours, French fours and
cotillons; Lishe played all the tunes he
knew three or four times apiece, and the
dancers danced without ''caling."
How long these persons might have pro-
longed their reyels, notwithstanding the un-
disguised discon 'ent of Mrs. Chase, who had
had ha days work and longed for bed,
but for the Intervention of Hepzibah Frye,
