WHITEHALL, May 8, 1878.
Editor Rutland GLOBE:
The heavy Columbiads of the Troy, AL
bany and New York press. aided by til,
flank and cross firing of the county press
has walked mp our sleepy canal officials al
last, making fair sailing for us, as far as the
canal is concerned Our sides have fairly
shaken with delight for week to see the
alacrity exhibited by the officials, contrac.
tors, and laborers What revolution the
press has produced in this short time.
Whitehall brcaths free once more-we &C.
tually greet each other with smile when
we meet. Our future looks suspicious
among other good things we are to have,
in u few days, our telegraph connection
with Montreal doubled The Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph COMPANY are to extend
their line from Troy to Whitehall - will
put up their poles and one wire soon, and
another wire will be added hereafter. This
will neccssitate additional wires by the
Western Union.
Our popular cX-conductor, Geo. knights,
has purchased one half of the Messrs.
Halls hotel property, and is to take the
position of "mine host in a few days.
Ex-conductor John Campbell and o. $.
Hall of Salem, take Mr. Snyder's place in
the Marvin House at Saratoga.
The temperance people here on their
side of the question, are active and hopeful
have several strong organizations, and arc
encouraged by the marked changein their ia
vor among the substantial business men of
the country. Among this class, there is one
firm here in particular, which has among
its numerous employees eight persons en-
stemious to the last degree, and this too,
mainly by the example and silent influence
of their superiors.
Everything looks propitious now for the
passage of Mr.. Weeds bill for our ship
canal-thcn you gentlemen of Rutland,
with your two daily papers, must look to
your laurcls. An association formed by
some of our spirited and wealthy citizens,
has about concluded bargain for the pur-
chase of the Times establishment mere, to
be placed in charge of Mr.. Wilkins IIiram
Green) as chief editor and manager Mr..
wilkins says not a paper will be struck off
until it is done upon power press. The
paper is to he enlarged, new type and new
presses to be added, together with caloric
engine of ten horse power, etc. As to its
future politics it is not quite sure that it
will adhere to old party names, but rather,
that in the dsintegration of parties which
is likely to ensue. Mr. Wilkins will sim
ply be found on the side which battles fol
the right principle, with him being every
thing, names nothing.
In the near future, we are to have yes
sells here from the great lakes of Il Thousand
for Rutland to have the much talked OF
canal built from there to Whitehall, thus
enabling her to ship her immense product
of slate and marble, to eight of the West
ern States and the Canadas-delivering il
at their very doors at low rate of freight
and without transhipment- in return
supplying Rutland and all the country
round about, with flour, grain, pork, lum
| Der, etc, at cost never before known
This is not visionary, there are those o
this generation now considerably advanced
in years, who will live to see it all. CT
ahead then, Messrs. Rutlanders, and tai
our ship canal that is 10 b., and make TO
your beautiful town name and a place il
the world. EUREKA.
