By advice Of the friends of the project,
the committee to whom Senator Hamlins
bill was referred did not make reportl to
the Congress which expired few days
ago, as the importance of the subject mat
ter had not been thoroughly understood
throughout the great West, while, by the
presentation to the present Congress, both
the members and their constituents will
have time to deliberate at to the vast be-
nefit this road would be to the people OF
all sections of the country. With this
end in view, no sooner did the forty.sec.
ond Congress open, than Senator Hamlin,
of Maine, presented, on Tuesday last, the
bill to secure the cheap transportation OF
bresdstuffs and provisions from the West
to the seaboard at uniform rates through
out the year, being bill to laid the con-
struetion of the Portland, Rutland, Os-
Iwego and Chicago Railroad.
+ We would here say to our readers, that
Mr.. Hamlin is not the man to thus early
press this matter to the consideration OF
the United States Senate, were he not san
guine of its success. Indeed, when the
people of the North and the East find
that the passage of this bill will cheaper
their -four $3.50 on the barrel, and other
provisions in proportion, and when the
people of the West become converssnt
with the vast interest they have at stake,
on the matter of cheap transportation to
the seaboard-which they soon will,
when the merits of the measure is fairly
and candidly laid before them-who in
the House, or even in the Senate, who de-
sire reelection, will dare hesitate to
support measure fraught with such ben
efits to the teeming millions both in Eu
rope as we'll as America?
Let the press agitate the question. Let
conventions be held and the people made
acquainted with the great Importance to
themselves, collectively and Individually
of this matter, and few and far between
will be the congressman that will dare to
oppose their will.
The people of Rutland and neighbor-
ing towns must soon get together and
bond their towns for an amount sufficient
to make permanent locating survey
from Rutland to Woodstock, as is now
being done for the sections of the road
that pass through Maine, New Hampshire
and New York.
The project we speak of, is the great
entering wedge in opposition to Railroad
monopoly, that is now drinking the life
blood from the very heart of industry

to the western country for the purpose of visit

covering my health. While there, as 1 was
crossing one of the large prairies in the great
valley of the Mississippi, my attention was
arrested by large cluster of beautiful wild
flowers; and never having seen the like before,
I gathered few of them, and found them to
emit very agreeable aromatic odor, which i'm
pressed me with the thought that the plant
might possess some valuable medical proper
ties. L made considerable enquiry about it,
but no one could give me any Information ex-
cept Dutch farmer who lived in the neighbor-
hood. He informed me that he had known
horses, when afflicted with the heaves, and
turned out upon the prairie to Craze, to find
this weed, and cat of it daily until they got
we'll. 1 gathered a small quantity and brought
it to Massachusetts,, for the purpose of ascer
taining what were its medicinal properties.
Since then, have proved it to be the most val
liable remedy for the cure of Consumption and
other pulmonary affections that has ever been
discovered or employed in the treatment of
such diseases. Please read the following &C

coughing. 1 took some simple medicines, be-
lieving it would soon pass off. But instead of
getting better, my cough gradually grew worse,
and a bronchial difficulty with which had
been troubled more or less for several year,,
seemed rapidly to increase. For long months
the symptoms of disease constantly increased

and painful, My throat was more troublesome
than ever. The pains in my chest and sides
were so severe that some nights was not able
to sleep at all. My appetite had left me, and
the sight and smell of all kinds of food was dis
agreeable aud nauseating. Diarrhoea in its
worst form was preying upon me, accompanied
with night sweats. My flesh and strength were
fast was ing away. My friends pronounced me
in consumption and expressed the opinion that
1 could not live but few months at most, sew
eral of my family having died of that disease.
One day, as was thinking of my condition,
and endeayoring to reconcile myself to my fate,
l was forcibly seized with the thought that the
wild weed which had discovered in the Mis-
sissippi valley in 1851, would helpme. And, as
a drowning man who will grasp at straw for
assistance, seized upon the idea, and arose to
my feet with fresh courage.
came TO the conclusion that if ii was good
for the lungs of horses, it must also be good for
those of man. Accordingly, i determined to
try the experiment. L had about two ounces of
the herb, which was all there was this side of
the AIleghanies. L prepared some of it as l
thought best, and commenced taking it three
times day, tea spoonful at time, one hour
befer eating, Under this treatment my health
beg IN to improve. The pressure at my lungs
was very soon relieved, and my breathing be-
came easy and natural All my difficulties
seemed to be fast leaving me. My sleep soon
became sweet and refreshing, my appetite be-
gan gradually to return, and within three weeks
from the time 1 commenced taking my new
remedy, my cough, bronchitis, neuralgia pains,
diarrhea, and night sweats, had entirely left
me. was well, with the exception of some
large swellings which the medicine drove out
upon the surface of my body, and general de-
bility, from both of which L very soon recoy-
cred. I have not had occasion to take any
kind of medicine since. My health has not
been better at any time since 1 was fifteen
