LAND AND RIGHTS
 FOR TERMINAL APPROACH.
Terms Agreed Upon by Three Com Panies Interested at New London.

The subcommittee of the state com mission on steamship terminals at New London has reached a. tentative agree
 ment with interested railroad com panies by which land and rights of
 way may be obtained at the proposed
 terminal approach in East New Lon
 don- Three transportation companies are involved, and representatives of
 each have sanctioned the terms made
 by the subcommittee. depending on the board of directors, which they rep resent giving authority for them to enter into formal agreement
 Vice President G, c. Jones, repre- senting the Grand Trunk and the Gen. tral Vermont roads; David MaeKen- zie. chairman of the board of direc- tors of the New London Northern, and Engineer Morrison of the Grand Trunk met Commissioners Warner, Caldwell and Chappellthe sub-eommit- tee. at New London The sub-com- mittee stated to the railroad officials it's needs. and the companies will draught the proposed agreements Within two weeks these are to be ready to be submitted to the state commission as whole.
 A conference of the three railroad companies officials was necessary to make it possible to decide the car dinal points of the agreement. The New London Northern is the owner of tracks leased by the Central Vermont. This a9 year lease is yet to run 80 years and the bonds Of the company might be impaired if the lessee entered into an agreement without the CO., partnership of the New London North ern.
 With the requirements of the term inal commission in view, counsel of the railroads under Vice President Jones direction will set at work to arrange a contract by which rights may be se- cured by the state All of the parties, acting with the commissions sub committee, expressed the feeling that it's requests were perfectly reasonable and that compliance would promote the interests of the companies as well as the terminal proposition.
 The land to be acquired is that north of the Central Vermont wharf. and includes 8 portion of the land pur chased few years ago by Nameaug Boat club. The plans. which have been approved by Consulting Engineer Don nelly provide for the removal of a part of '<the Bank, at East New Lon don to make grades for tracks from the Central Vermont and New York.

Navy At vicksburg And Charleston
Operations These Two Points Were Holding Attention Fifty Years Ago-FaHagut Runs Past vcksbmg Forts Fort Sumter and Other Chsrleston Defenses Made Slight Impression the Union koncads

Naval operations at Vicksburg and at Charleston were the topic for dis eussion this week fifty years ago. From both these places the report was
 with encouraging success. Commo- dore Farragut with his fleet had suc- ceoed in passing the batteries at
 Vicksburg and the attack on the forts that was intended in locating some of the defenses of the harbor, without any material damage being suffered by the fleet of monitors that were en- gagged in the attack.
 The following are extracts from the Bulletin of April 1863;
 April 20. 1S63-Capt George c. Rip lev, aid de camp to Gen. Ferry. Capt Alfred P. Rockwell of the First Con- necticut battery, and Lieut. s. C. Mer- win of the Eighteenth regiment, have arrived in the city short furloughs-
 Gunboats Prove the Fewer
 We have already published some statements showing that the failure of our gunboats in the attack upon CharlestoWn forts was not nearly as discouraging as has been represented by some authorities. The following from the pen of Carleton of the Bos- ton Journal will be Of interest in this connection; the fleet has met the heaviest possible fire that the enemy can give and 1t has been aSCertained that at the short distance of 400 yards the decks, hulls, turrets and pilot houses are not penetrated by the pol-r ished English steel shot from Whit worth guns Their power to resist the most destructive fire ever opened on a fleet is proved beyond question. We have also aseertained that the damage done in a close fight of two hours duration can be repaired in season for a renewal of the attack on the sue- ceding day The damage done by the enemy upon the monitors was mainly the knocking out of few bolts and one intention which fnr the time being prevented the Passaic from revolving her turret If combined hammeFing reduced Pulaski. why will not a like pounding with shot twice the weight reduce or breach Sumter? One hun dred and fifty shots have done great damage to Sumter; three thousand shots have done no permanent damage to the monitors
