THE RAILROADS.
In our last was noticed a rccont arrangotnont in
Boston, designed to settle various conflicting inter
estsor perhaps rather wo Bhould say, Interests
which the public have supposed to be conflicting.
Wo now givo the ollicial account of the matter, ns
follows J
'For tho purpose of producing harmony among
(ho Stockholders of tho several Railroads which are
in process of construction between tho city of Bos-
tun and Lake Cliniitlaiii, am) ol'cnabling tho respec
tive ducctoas ol'said corporations to net freely, and
to adopt such measures ns they may judge to bo
conducive to the truo interests of their several cor
porations, and whereas, nn understanding has suh-
sinted or has been supposed to subsist bctweuti
tho directors of iho Fitchburg and Vermont Cen
tral Railroad Corporations to thu effect that
tho directors of the Vermont Central Railroad
company should not connect with the North
ern itailrnid Corporation, without tint assent, first
obtained, of tho directors of thu Fitchburg Rail
road Corporation, and a like understanding to tho
effect that tho Directors of the Fitchburg Railroad
Company should not in any manner old or counten
ance tlio construction ot tlio luitlatiu Kailroad, so
called, without the assent, first obtained, of tho Di
rectors of the Vermont l.cntral Railroad Company j
and whereas it is deemed to bo advisable that the
said corporations as such, nnd their respective
boards of directors, und iheir individual stockhold
ers should be perfectly frco and untrammelled by
inv obligation, or honorary understanding, now ex
isting, or supposed, by any persons or corporations,
to exist, in relation to tho premises: therefore
Resolved, That tlio Directors of the Fitchburg
Railroad Company hereby agreo that the Vermont
Central Railroad Company, as such, its officers and
individual stockholders shall tie perfectly free and
tully at liberty to net with, and reccivn aid from,
and connect with the Northern Railroad Co nnaiiv
(N. H.) when, where, nnd upon such terms ns the
directors or Hlocunolucrs ol said Vermont Central
Railroad Company may deem for their interest it
being understood, that all other terms and conditions
of subscription to Hie stock or tlio Vermont Central
Railro.id Compin shall remain unchanged.
Provided, Ifiwcvir That tho Directors of the
Vermont Central Railroad Company shall also
agree that the Fitchburg Railroad Company, r.s
such, and tho directors nnd stockholders thercot,
shall bo at liberly to subscribu towards iho con
struction of tho Rullrnd Ruilroid,so called, nnd
not only to agreo upon terms of connexion with thu
Champlain and Connecticut River Railroad Com
pany, but also to assist the enterprise in any milli
ner which they may see tit.
Tho foregoing preamble nnd resolution, having
been submuied to the Directors of the Fitchburg
Rtilroad Comp-iny, nt u meeting held by them on
Friday, October 30, 1810, were unanimously adopt
ed. Attest, JOHN P. WELCH,
Clerk F. R. R. Co.
Boston, October 30, 1840. An informal tnert
ing of the Hoard of Directors of tho Vermont Ccn
tral Railroad Company, was held this day in Ibis
city, ot which a Majority of the Board wero repre
sented. It. was voted nn-inimously that this Boaid
assent to Iho abovo prcamblo and resolve, adopted
ibis day by tho Directors of the Fitchburg Railroad
Company, and agree that the fame shall bo adopt
ed by this Board nt their next meeting, to be hold
en on tho 9th November next.
Attest, (Signed) SAM'L II. WALLEY, JR.,
Clerk pi o. lem.
Sullivan Road. Wo take tho following para
graph fiotnlhc money article of tho Boston Post of
Nov. 3d,
"Tho stock for the Sulivan railroad, which con
nects Iho Central road with tho Cheshire ul Bellows
Falls, lias been taken, we learn, to tho amount of
$350,000 or nearly the itquisitosuui for its construction."
This saves tho charter and ensures tho com
mencement nnd completion of the work. The rest
ol the slock will of course soon be taken up. Our
renders will icmenibcr that the Sullivan road is the
connecting link between tho Vermont Central and
Cheshire and Fitcliburgh Roads.

In Mnntnnlier tho volj rVI'MIrt llinu-i'i nol so I

A Convention for tho adoption of n Constitution
for the State of Wisconsin is in session, and has
sundry queer projects be'iiro it. On the 9th of Oc
tober, Mr. Ryan, from the committee on Banks and
Banking, (Ryan is a red-hot loco,) rcpoited anarli-
clo prohibiting tho chartering of any bank of issue
in tho state, and also prohibiting Me people from re
ceiving or passing " any papur money, hank note,
promissory note, bill, order, check, certificate ofde
posite, or other evidence ol debt wlialover," issued
by any corporation in tho state -Minder the penalty
of heavy fines and imprisonment. Corporations or
their agents arc also prohibited from receiving dc-
posites of money, making discounts, or buying or
selling bills of exchange, under like penalties!
This is pure iuenfococ-m, which woulu not only
make war upon corporations but upon the people in
to the bargain. On the 10th, this proposition was
followed up by another admirably adapted to thu
establishment of genuine locofocratic principles:

Mr. Crawlord introduced tho following, which

On tho lOlli, Iho committee on internal in-prove-
mcnls reported that " Internal Improvements shall

SECOND DISTRICT.
We havo returns from a few towns, nnd we think
wo may state safely that the Don. Jacob Collamer,
Whig, is circled by a handsome majority.
fX3 The Woodstock Age, in endeavoring to
mako party capital nut of the course of the Loj-is-laturc
on the resolution for thanksgiving for the
victory of Monterey, triumphantly asks:
" Is there n human being in the Universe, who
wishes to mod to consider whether he should bo
thankful to God for iho safe delivering of Ins broth
er, mother, or sister, flom the hands of their ene
mies? We hopo not."
And wo hope not, too. Had tho thanks been put
upon that ground thanks that so many were sated
from a horrible death in battle, wc venture to say
that nobody would havo objected. As to tho Age's
"mother and sisters" tho Rutland Heinld makes a
good hit, thus
But wo would ask, who of the Vermont Democ
racy has n mothtr or sisttr 111 thoiinuy of invasion?
We havo heard of no such f hint; ; but if any De
mocratic " fair one" from our Slate has ventured U)
cross iho liio Grande to fight the battles of our
country she has assuredly hhown more spirit nnd
bravery than has been Manifested by any of iho
ne members of 'lie party. 77itt nro content to
run.nin lioliiuil to brag and bluster nt home, and
to sco thai, " thanks are properly iviuinc-d dim iticy
arc still saje.
(tyTlio Organ at Washington is figuring nnd
estimating at a gre.it rate to satisfy Iho locos thai
they will have n small "majority (18) n tho next
Coimrcss. A bad ign this : men who are confi
dent never show such symptoms of alarm ns this.
(tJThe Amerii-nn Review for-Novcmbef came
to hand in good season ; tho articles arc good, num
bering over a dozen, bc-ides an interesting chapter
of loreign miscellany and critical notices. Ansel
Edwards, Burlington, is the agent lor Vermont.
Staou Acciun.NT. Wo understand that the
Woodstock sia"c heavily loaded with ecntlcmen
returning from nlteudance upon tho 'Legislature
here, was overturned on 1 uc-suay 01 last weelt. a
short distance below Bethel. Two gentlemen had
arms .broken.
P. S. Wo learn that Senator Kimball of Wind
ham had his arm nnd head severely bruised, though
we nro oleased to learn that ho is recovering. Ho
was 0110 of llioso whose arm was supposed to bo
broken.
Tin: ArtMSTicF. E.nuf.d. The N. O. Jefferso-
nian pives iho following ns infor.i.ulion derived
from Major liruham, tho bearer of despatches lioui
our , Government to uenerai layior. 11c ar
rived nt New Orleans 011 the 21st u 1 It , and was to
leave there on the 22d, for the Rio tirunde:
Immediately on tho arrival of Oapt. Eaton, bear
er of despatches from General layior, recounting
the capture of Monterey, tho President called a
cabinet council, ui nicu a mimuer 01 our oiucsi
military nnd naval olhcers were invited to bajir'-s
cut. Tho cabinet was, considering tho iuipjBnco
of the despatches received, but u short tluiu 111
session, when the following conclusions wero arriv
ed at.
Tho nrmstico entered into between General Tay
lor nnd Ampudia is to bo put nn end to immeuiate
ly, and tho lorccs under General Taylor are to fol
low tho enemy ns quickly ns poss blc. For tins
purpose nil the volunteers und regulars which can
possibly be spared from garrisoning the posts and
towns already ca'abllshed, or cupiured, are to pro
ceed forthwith to augment his force ul Monterey.
The volunteer regiments at tho North, called for
under the fust requisition, und not then mustered
into service, nro to be mustered forthwith, and pro
ceed to tho Bio Grande. No other requisitions for
reinforcements had t.anspired. The naval forces
on the Gulf are also reported tu havo specific in
itructions, resulting from this meeting ol the cubi
net, sent to it. The only mforutuiion which corrid
bo obtuincd. huwever, was, ihai henceforth ihcir
ucts were to bo enttruly uggressive, utid prompt in
execution.
As to the army, General Taylor and tho other
Gei. orals, at distant points, have now pusitivo in
structions to puisuo u course contrary to Iho prac
tice of our army herctol'oro observed, which has
conclusively shown itself to havo had no tendency
in shortening the war or convincing the treacher
ous foe. Tho United States army henceforth is to
diciato its owh terms, and call upon tho enemy lor
its supplies as it advances.
Wo suspect tho press is running ahead uf tho e
vents of iho day. They are not merely specula
ting about the movements of tho war, but confi
dently chronicling what is done, or what is decided.
They say, that a largo volunteer forco is immedi
ately to bo called out. They go so far as to say
that thesu volunteers will bo called out from tho
south ; that tho north will bo slighted, &c. Wo
cannot urnlertako to say what tho War Department
may think it best tu do and u-htn to ucl ; but wo
luzzard llltlo in saying that no decision has yet
been made 110 additional volunteers havo yci been
called out.
Commodore Sloat, who lately commanded our
squadron on tho coast of tho Pacific, arrived in

ScAnctTV oi Food. Tho London Spectator
says :
Bread in the Metropolis has again risen in price
uiiring thu week. In ulasgow, it n us high as in
London; and, in tho provinces, prices tiro rising.
It is the same abroad. At Udetsii, new wheat ob
tained from 31s. to 3 Is t'd.' At D.iutzic, puces
Inyo risen to 55s. to 57s. free on board. In tho U-
nited States, there is n considerable advance in all
kinds of grain. Tho Mark Lino Emress estimates
tho f.idnre in iho potatJ crop of Western Europe
at two-thirds ; in the oat and rye crops, ot one-third;
a (tendency that must be supplied by Using tlio
uotier Hind ol gram. J hero is even a fear that,
next year, wheat crops in iy fill, from insufficient
rcscivo of seed. Meanwhile, thero is a brisk con
sumption lu England, as yet unchecked by raising
prices, l he supply dues not appear lo be obtaina
ble in those countries to which we usually look for
uid. Tho Baltic, Inch has hitherto furnished us
villi Ihree fourllis of our foreign supplies m vents
of deficiency, is fins year yielding none. Tue
Black Sea, laud its Italian entrepots.) the United
St. ites, and Canada, will probably furnish abundant
contributions, but not rapidly cnuugh to check prt
ccs lor Some time.
It is quite clear thai there is no fear of an " m
imdntion" of grain. Tho home markets are hut in
differently supplied, and prices ure considerably
liMier. "Some of thu shipping ports on thu East
cont," it is saicl, "have been visited by tho buyers
fnuo France and Holland, wuicu lias no douul, as
xisteil to givo nn impetus to prices; and in Lin

wheat to those sold two months ago, at 44s. to 45s.
have this week realized 5as. to 00s. per nnarler."
Tho arrnunts from Ireland do not warrant n more
hopeful lone all is scarcity. An account of thu
rrins in Scotland is furnished by Messrs. Robert
llu'clunsoti it Co., of KirkaMnv. According lo
this statement, tho wheat is of f ur quantity and in
