The ERUPTION OF NESUVlUS.-
Pliny's account OF The great eruption
OF the Italian volcano in ancient
times shows that he would have
made an admirable newspaper re
potter, and it is a pity that he is not
alive to describe the terrible scenes
now enacted near Naples. Vesuvi-
us stands alone upon the plain of
Campania, on ~ base about thirty
miles III circumference. The main
peak, which rises to an elevation of
1919 feet, is the one now in eruption,
and fears are entertained that it
may destroy all the towns contigu-
GUS to Naples, and that the flames
may even reach Naples itself. The
first recorded eruption occurred 70
years before Christ and up to 1865
there had been sixty eruptions of
considerable magnitude. In 1851,
in 1919, in 1894, III 1872, and in 1855
very violent manifestations occur.

ingly disastrous. In 1861, Tore

and the trembllngs of the earth last.
ed three years. The travellers, dur
ing the past week, seem to have
ventured dangerously near the burn
Ins mountain, Yet although more
than an hundred persons have been
killed, no Americans or English are
missing. Buildings in Tore del
Greco and Tore del AnnunSiata
have been ovelthrown by showers
Of stones and burning lava, and
thousands OF people are homeless
and camping IN the fields. The
King and the Roman authorities are
doing every thing in their power to
alleviate the sufferers. The erup.
ton Increases in extent and intensity
daily, and Naples is in terrible
pane. Many OF the towns in the
Vicinity Of the mountains are clung
to by then inhabitants, who prefer
to stand by their homes and die,
rather than leave them. Plenty of
guides are found who are adventure
Gus. enough to take parties of tour
lists very near to the eruption, and
we may soon expect to hear that
the lrrcpresslble curiosity of the
Yankee race has led some of our
best friends to a horrible death.

PORTLAND Me. April 20, 1872.

Tothe Editors Of The Boston jour
nal: An item is going the rounds
ofthe press to the effect that the
"Notch' route Las been abandoned
by the managers of the Portland
and Ogdensbnrg Railroad for a
route south of the mountains. This
has not been done. 1t has not for a
moment been contemplated. The
people of Portland understood per
tactly well what they were abCut,
when, after delibcration and investi
CATION, they put well nigh a million
dollars into this new railroad to the
West. Nothing has TRANSFERRED to
modify their determination. What
they set out to do they will 60 for
ward and accomplish. Thus far the
work has gone on with dispatch. -
The portion of road already compile
ted is doing a large business. Expe.
rience thus far justilies and confirms
the anticipations four public.
We chose the Notch Route be-
cause it opened up a great territory
east of the mountains, with $4,000
population, SS0, 1000, 600 of property,
and "A vast lumber region about the
mountains because it gave usa di-
rect line, under our own control, to
northern Vermont, where the bust
ness OF $4,000 people lay ready to
our hand; because the whole route
gave us a shorter line to Montreal by
nearly fifty miles than the Grand
Trunk. We choose it also because
we knew that the cost of getting
through the "Notch" would be tr>
fling in comparison with what had
been immagined, and that the eX-
traorllnary, the positively unequalcd,
tourist attractions of the route
would make ample compensation for
the larger cost. We knew that no
other railroad could show the equiv>
alcnt of the White Mountains and
the Green Mountains, of Mt. Wash.
ington, and Mt. Mansfield, of Casco
Bay, Lake SebaGo, Lake Champlain,
and spas of Sheldon and iiighgate.
The business men of Portland,
orr heaviest firms, the strongest,
the most energetic, the most intlu-
entail, have recently, over their own
signatures, in tho pubic prints, Civ.
en- their earnest and emphatic de
claration in favor of puShing the road

lie here, it is overwhelmingly in ia.

route for the road.
Whatever doubt there NAV be as
to the cost of the mountain work,
will speedily bediSpeled by the spec
lal inquiry TO be instituted by the
City Government. AS one " no has
thoroughly explored the line ven.
ture to assert its cost of construc
ton will fall materially below the
average cost per mile of the entire
Vermont Central Railroad. There
Is no ground for question that the
Portland aud Ogdensburg Railroad
will do more for this community
than the Grard Trunk has done:
that it will bring us an equal thlogh
business and much greater local
business. Ii would be the part OF
supreme folly for us to do anything
else thar complete the road. and
that without delay. n.
