They will have to be brought by sea, and, necessarily, 1t will take some time before they can reach here. Mr. Ross is now engaged upon the preparatory work in Jersey City. I un- derstand that he will make arrangements with parties here, if he has not aiready done so, for the work of driving the piles upon which the ‘ratiroad willrun. It is his {ntention, also, to have con- structed at once two large scows Which ¢an be floated over the flats at high water.” ———+¢- _____ ; An Enjoyable Party.
