facts, before they throw themselves into
frantic agony, indulge in idiotic demands,
and endeavor to involve the country in
war with Spain. Moreover, we must act
in this case as we intend to have other ma
tions act under similar circumstances. Our
action will form precedent for future ac-
ton. International law is established by
just such precedents. The United States,
as we have said, have not received trust
worthy official reports of the affair, neither
have the press or the people. If it should
prove that the Nirginus was sailing under
the United States flag, but on u pratical
vessel, are we prepared to concedc that our
flag was violated by her capture. If so, it
follows, beyond the possibility of cavil or
doubt, that pirates are, hereafter, safe from
capture. If our flag protected them, that
of any other nation would have Il like eff
feet A United States man of war could,
of course, overhaul another vessel sailing
under the same colors, but all that the
pirate would have to do, under such cir
cumstances, would be to run up another
flag. We do not desire war with Spain !;
we do not want to establish precedent
that will "kick against us" in time of
need, but we do wish to do justly and act
honorably with all and, at the same time
maintain the honor and integrity of the
nation; therefore, let lis wait for the
facts.

Bennington another west to Castleton,
and thence southwark through Poultney,
Granville, Pawlet, Rupert, Salem, etc.
and the third to Castleton and Whitehall,
and thence south through eastern New
York. The last two soon came under ,one
management, and by the acts of those
more or less interested therein, the connec-
ton with Troy was broken by way of the
first route. The result was that the natu-
raj outlet was made use of, and a connec-
ton formed with New York thereby. Thus
at last northwestern Vermont had a com
peting road with New York, and was no
longer compelled to submit to the dictation
of that which was, in reality, but one road
Unfortunately, the business of the road
was not sufficient to enable them to run
the number of trains, or transport the
amount of freight necessary to make their
competition available or, even, felt. The
New York, Boston and Montreal railroad
company was, as our readers understand,
organized, and obtained control of tic wes-
tern Vermont route to Now York. Tues
day, an important step was taken, which
must result in placing the Harlem Exten-
sion. so called, "on its feet and making
it competing line indeed. The Central
Vermont railroad company, yesterday,
commenced to operate the Harlem Exten-
sion railroad, so that hereafter, it will be

in reference to the mechanical, manufactu-
ring, industrial and natural resources of
Vermont west of the Green Mountains,

from Montreal to New York, properly
managed, must do large and rcmunera-
tive business. We think we see immense
advantages resulting thcrcfrom to Rutland
but we will leave the consideration thereof

cannot forbear congratulating our fellow

They implicated man named Gardner,
who had evaded the officers up to noon, and
several others. They explained how the
fires were set and acknowledged the setting
of the great fire which occurred on the
morning of Monday, Oct. 81.
When the intelligence concerning the ar
rest of Woolford and Stone spread through
the village, an immense crowd assembled
in the widest state of excitement. They
broke into the place where Woolford and
Stone were confined and attempted TO take
them out of the hands of the officers.
1t required the greatest eXertion on the
part of the officers to prevent the cxaspe-
rated people from taking the law into their
own hands. Pistols and clubs were freely
used, and several persons were injured in
the melee. The prisoners were forced out
of the rear of the building and taken to n
private house, under strong guard. Dis
trict Attorney Forbes and others exrrted
themselves in every way TO pacfy the
crowd and preserve order.
A gallows was erected in the street Fri
day night, in front of the site of the old
Grouse block, and Immediately opposite
the house in which the prisoners were con.
fined. Ropes dangled from the crossbeams
in readiness for the necks of the villains
who have caused so much misery and des
olation. Over one thousand men have
thronged the streets since Friday night
and the crowd has increased every hour
Men have carried ropes III their hands, anC
publicly volunteered to act as hangmer
for the criminals. Many citizens of coo
judgment are doing their best to quiet thu
excitement, and will do all in their powe
to prevent unlawful proceedings, but thei
task is difficult one. The prisoners live
are not safe. 1t is expected militar.
guard will be sent from Syracuse to pro
tect the prisoners.

Death of the Sleeping woman.

Miss Susan Caroline Godsey, known as
the Sleeping Beauty, died at the residence
of her mother, in Obon county, Tenn, on
the 9th ult She had attained the age of
thirty one years, and, as was alleged, had
been in her sleeping condition for about
twenty-four years. The Nashville Union
of the 4th, says "Iler case has excited
great interest, and gave rise TO much invcs-
tigation and discussion among scientific
men The true nature of her afllction,
however, was never understood. She was
brought to Nashville in the fall of 1857,
for the ostensible purpose of procuring
medical aid, but was really in charge of an
agent who contemplated making an eXhibi-
ton of her. She was accompanied by n
brother and other relations, who were very
much attached to her While they were
in Nashville they boarded at the house of
Major Bruce, on Market street, and the
sleeper was constantly watched by Mrs.
Bruce, who took great interest in her. She

AN IMPORTANT Project CON-
SU1IMAEED

Rutland, by her very location, is, as
railroad men and shippers would say,
competing point" Even before the days
OF railroads this was SO, especially in win
ter when navigation, by water, upon Lake
Champlain was closed. The flood of travel
and freight from the north, even to and
beyond Montreal, centered in Rutland as
ii WAS, almost of necessity compelled to
do. The valley, between the mountains on
the east and the lake on the west, had been
marked out by the hand of God as the
natural road for travel and the transporta
ton Of freight, The natural market of
western Vermont is, and always has been,

by an almost impossible range of noun
tains, fixed upon New York as our natural
outlet to tide water From the north, un-
q. Rutland was reached, there was but one
route. From Rutland, however, two routes
presented themselves, although there was
possibility of their union at a certain
point Perhaps ii might be said that there
were three The most natural and feasible
route was long overlooked. A route lead

New York, Oct 10, 1873
Thos. DLr0n, Esq.,, PERSISTENT d. If H.
canal Company:
DEAR SlR-Referring to Our conversation
of yesterday, in which you requested me
to submit, in writing, what the Harlem
Extension Railroad Company desired of
your company, beg TO say
LIST. We wish to secure, at Rutland,
freight from your road, that shippers de-
sire TO send over our road at fair rates, and
that no discrimination shall be made against
our road
For long time past your company have
charged freight on marble from West Rut-
land to Rutland, distance of four miles,
five dollars per car, if the destination was
Rutland or east of Rutland, while fifteen
dollars per car is charged if the freight is
to 90 over our road. On this class OF
freight, you charge shippers to our road
thirty and half cents per ton, per
mile, and three times your local rates.
am informed your company discrimi-
mates against us on other freights and from
other points than West Rutland.
I'd. We wish your company to consent
that the Troy and Bennington railroad be
opened for all business, both freight and
passenger. The Troy and Bennington
road extends from the Vermont line (where
it connects with our road TO lIoosic June
ton, where it connects with the Troy and
Boston railroad. Its length is about five
miles
For over fifteen years, previous to 1867,
we had line from Rutland to Troy, of
which the Troy and Bennington road
formed part, and our road was built to
connect with that road.
In 1867, the Rensselaer, and Saratoga
railroad company acquired an interest in
the Troy and Bennington railroad, and
thus eifcctually closing our southern and
western outlet.
We are willing, as VIC always have been.
to concede to your road all that we ask,
and have never made discriminating rates
against you.
have stated the facts in regard to the
Troy and Bennington road, for the reason
that you informed me that the arrange.
ments in regard to that road, were made
before your company had any interest in it
and that you personally had no knowledge
of the facts
Hoping to hear soon the disposition OF
your company in regard to the requests We
make, am, very respectfully, yours,

DEAR SIR:-I have made personal and
written application 10 the Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company in regard to the
excessive and discriminating rates charged
on freights from their road that is shipped
over our road, and also in regard to the
closing up the Troy and Bennington rail
road, and am unable to obtain any salts
faction or even an answer to my communi-
cation
we have but one course open 10 us (un-
less we resort to tedious litegation) and
that is to charge the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company for the transportation of
their cars over our track. south Of the Rut-
land depot.
You will, after the receipt of this, charge
for the transportation of each car and en-
CINE over our track, to or from any point
north of Wallingford, ten dollars, which
you will observe is only equal to the charge
to us from West Rutland, in excess of their
local rates.
We do not wish to have the engines of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
run over our tracks by their engineers, as
they have proved it is not safe to run the
engines of more than one company over
the same road and we are now under con-
tract with the lessees of the Rutland rail
road that they may run over our track in
Rutland If the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company wish to transport engines
over our track, you can haul them at the
rate above stated.
have informed the President of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
that we have given you these instructions.
If the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany desire to make any arrangement diff
ferent from the existing one, you may re-
