Vermont Valley Railroad.
LETTER FROM s. M. WAITE, ESQ.

In your issue of to-day you say the Mr..
Harris company has lately acquired the
Vermont Valley railroad. As this is in no
sense true, 1t does Mr.. Harris great injus-
tice and misrepresents the true intent of
the Valley railroad. The Valley belongs
IN the Connecticut river line of railroads as
portion OF the line running from Canada
to New York. This line has been COM
posed of the Vermont Central, Sullivan.
Vermont Valley, 10 miles of Vermont and
and Massachusetts, the Connecticut River
and New York and New Haven, or via
New London from CIRCUITS or Millers Falls.
using 81 miles of Vermont and Massachu-
sets. The present managers of the Yer
mont Valley prefer to have this line used as
portion of the Connecticut River line via
Springfield, but do not stand as a toll-gate
in any sense of the word. All business
brought to the valley road will be forward
ed by them according to we'll established
rules and regulations adopted by all rail
roads working in line. The Valley rail
road has not been acquired by the Connec-
ticut river railroad, but will be managed by
its own officers as specified, and II is hoped
for the best good OF all railroads connec.
ting with II; although the sympathy of its
managers is with the line to New York via
Springfield, as they consider that the line
which best conserves the public interest,
and they have every reason TO believe that
that opinion is shared by all the different
roads operating this line from Canada to
New York.

news of the fall of Plevna occasions great
rejoicing here. The theatres arc oclebrat.

demonstrations in honor of the imperial

After five hours of severe fighting, the
Turks were defeated. Osman Pasha was
surrounded on all sides, and compelled to
surrender, with his whole army. Up to
the present time it is impossible to estimate
the number of Turkish prisoners or the
quantity of war material taken. We only
know that everything in Plevna has fallen
into our hands The Russian losses were
inconsiderable compared with the results
obtained.
The latest adviccs from Bucharest put
the number Of Turkish prisoners at 40 900.
Osman Pasha ordered sortie in the direc.
ton Of Widdin. His valor, which is dc.
scribcd as desperate, is everywhere the
theme of conversation. The suffcrings of
the Turks in tho bcleagucred towns are
awful. Cold, disease and famine have
decimatcd the ranks and reduced the SOL
dicrs to living skeletons. To aggrnvate
their sufcrinSs, no doctor and no medicine
could be obtained. -Four hundred guns
fell into the hands of the Russians. The
ground which was tho scene of the sortic
was literally strcwn with the dead and
