AFRICAN ENTERPRISE.

Even Central Africa is to have a chance

going to build railroad to connect Central
Africa with the Mediterranean. Labor is
cheap and there is no room for Credit Mo-

around the first cataract in the Nile, three
miles, over which are to be drawn vessels,

hundred cars, to the centre of Nubia,

work is to he completed in three years from
the second cataract at Wady Halfa, G75
miles, to Shendy, about loo miles south
of the Mediterranean. Thence two days
sail would bring the traveller to the juno
ton of the White and Blue Nile, at Khar-
toum. This is the Soudan country. 1t is
rs large as a dozen Of our States, has a very
rich soil and is capable of sustaining a
numerous population. The Khedive thinks
he can produce on that soil 40, 900, 600 bales
of cotton of the size of American bales.
We may now hope for civilization in
Africa, as the locomotive is the most rapid

Nile, and it is hoped the Bedouins may be
induced to expand their villages into hand

the construction of bridge, the building OF

telegraph connects lis with that most back

called so thus early.in its infancy. is one
worthy of considerable thought and con-
sideration on the part Of our citizens and.
we think, with fair prospect of good re-
suits. Those who have given the subject
the most attention, and men of experience
in such matters, assure us there is no rea-
son why Rolling Mill cannot be started
here and run successfully in every point of
view. Not so large an enterprise as the
Que lately started in st. Albans, perhaps.
but one whereby the interests of the COM
munity can be well subscrved and an en-
tcrprisc he built up that will one day be-
come of considerable Importance outside of
Rutland.
The different mills in this immediate vi
cinity, use from five hundred to six hun
drcd tons of iron in a year. Rutland is
wcll-known to he the centre of Il large iron
district. 1t is the best locality for such an
establishment in the State. Ore and iron
can be transported with great facility to
this point, as they now pass through it.
Transportation will ere long he us cheap as
in any other section, while the marble in
tcrest around us is bound to increase from
year to year, and iron is sure to lie in
greater demand.
The above arc strong arguments in favor
of the proposed plan. while others no less
convincing can be brought up if necessary
a citizen of Rutland has already Offered
the requisite grounds for the building OF
such an establishment, and in very de
sirable locality. This is a praisworthy oh
ject, and is of credit to the person, even il
the offer is not accepted. There are mei
in our midst well acquainted with the bust
ness of Rolling Mills, and are ready to give
the benefit of experience in starting the
project We believe there is enterprise
enough here to set the wheels in motion
Certainly there is abundance of capital her,
which cannot be invested in a more public
spirited manner than in such an enterprise
Let the matter be fully investigated by
those who should take the reins, and then
we doubt not. some action will resul
thercfrom.
