Anv Derson who will examtne the tono?ra- phyof Vermont, and her relative potitionto the capitalofNew England must besatisfied Ihnt tbe Western or Rutland Rail-Road route nll more completely secure tbe whole business, and better accommodate the great tnass of the populatiun of the Stato than the Central. Supposing the Western route to connect with tbe Chesbire at Bellows Falls, or as some tbink licst, at the moulh of Black River, and from either point pursucits course through Cavrodish. Ludlow and orcr Mount Holley to Rurlinglon, wbile lhe Central route passesup the Connecticut lo thc mouth of White River, and thencc through Mont pelier to Burlington, it will at once be per- rpitfpfl Kv n rpTprpni.p In tlic mnn tl-i lami halfof Windham County will bc'well accom- modated. Windsor as well accommoda.cd by one as the olher. Franklin and Grand Isle will bc bettcr accommodated by the Western ,oute,as tbe distance would be23or 30 miles , . , , . ... less. Aud we may as well here observe that , , .. , . ., . . in all our calculations about the routes, that from Bellows FalUto Burlington by Rutland, it is 112 miles, nbilc from Bellows Falls to the mouth of White River it is 33 miles, and thencc to Burlington 103 miles, cqual to 142 miles, a diflerencc of 30 miles in favor oflhe Rutland route. The differeuce is variously calculaled at from 2G to 30 iniles. . . , , . But since perusmg ihe above our eyc has mct with a commuuicalion in tbe Rutland Herald from a gentlcman of great capabiliiy on thc subjcct of Rail-Roads, from which wc citracl tbe following statement which com mends itsclftothe judgcment of all those who are sinccrely dcsirous ofarnving at the true merits of the rival routes : "I assunic tben that ihe fullowing territorj is bettcr accommodated by the Rutland ihan by tho Central route.

Thus showi.ig n .iTere.icc m favor of lhe Rutland route, in population or47,790 and in propeily valuation of 17,405,- 910 dollars. " If lhe railwaj shall be built upon ihe Rut- land routo, and no other in the ii.ate leading directly to Boston, Washtugton and Orleans countiesand lher-uiaii:derof Lamoille would ba well accommo JaT d by such railway. nd again, by extendiug a brauch road from Bur- hngton to Montpelier, the whole S'ate would , ,, , , be well accommodated. If thc Central road sould be built and no other, thc counties of Addison, Ruthml.Rcn- nington and Windham, nould ucithcr deiivc any benefit from it.or furnish toit a pound offreight. But ihe nch products and im- mcnse quantitics ofmarble. and iron. of thc first ihrcc, would go to New York as .lbey now do, and llicnce would they oblain their mercbandize, platcr and salt." Wc add ihat should lhe Wcslcrn rout be adoptcd a Rail-Road might be constructcd froin Jlonlpelier to Burlington as well as the 23 miles tbe extra distance cf lhe Central routc. This done, and cvcry county in lhe State would bc well accommoditcd by tbe Rntlnnil route. This exhibtion ofstubbom factsby theable corrcspondent of the Herald fonnded upon the geographical position ofthe counties, and thc indisputable slalislics oflhe comparalivc wcalth nnd population of ihe various scclions rcachcd by tlic differcnt routes, at onco puts to rlight tbe unwarrantablc classifications and tabui ir mbrepresentatious by which the ad vocatcs of lhe Central route have endeavored to gain advantages to wbich they have no le- gitimate claim B..tiawhat.vcrspeculatiouswc may in- duh-c in rclation to tbe relative accommoda- lioas of the various scctions ofour State tho Boston peoplewho must furnish 1 lic greatest amouut of capital forthecocstruction ofthe road must decido thc route.

Indeed the survey of tbe Central route in dicates that even in grading thc Rutland route will probably have the advantage. From an extract of ibis survey from a communica lion in the Boston Atlas it appears that on this route there are but forty miles of I'evsl, wbile the whole distance from Rutland to Burliugton, aud from the foot of Mount Hol Icy to t!:e Conuecticnt must furnish double tbat numberof miles ofanearly Icvclsurfiice, In lhe article iu the Boston Ailas we find tbe' following staten.ent ofibc grades from tbo Connecticnt River to Burlington madeaswo suppose.by africndof ibe'Central route: 40 miles lcvcl, 1!) miles from 5 to 20 fect per mile, 15 " 20 to 30 " 12 " 30lo40 14 " 40to50 Considering the uncommon regularity ot" surl.ice Irom Rutland ibrourh lhe irent t1- ley ofLike Champlain to Burlioeton, .r. r. 1 , 6 .
