€ur Vermont Correspondence. Monreenier, Vt., July 13, 1849. An Afternoon in the Capital of Vermont-—State of Business and Politics. An excellent railroad—one of the New England kind—substantially laid down on good heavy rails, has recently been opened between the Connecticut River and Montpelier, bringing the capital of Ver- mont within a few hours’ ride of the city of Boston. We come up by this road this afternoon, the cars filled with passengers and freight, and the ther- mometer ranging between 95 and 100 deg. Montpelier contains a population of about 2,000. Jt is aclean and neat little village, built below the hills that crowd here, on every side, upon the nar- row valley of Onion River. The new granite State House stands with its back against an abrupt and recky hill. Its front has a portico of six heavy Doric columns, and the building is surmounted by adome, and has the advantage of an acre and a half, more or less, of green sward, and the interpo- sition of the streets aiound if, to keep off the pres- sue of the growing village; for the invasion of the railroad, and the erection of an immense depot, are giving rise to various improvements in the aeigh- i Cotterell, with his hotel, in the transfer ol passengers east and west, is doing the business of the transfer tiouse of a commercial city. The stages which he runs west to Burlington, here eon- nect with the railroad, until the rails shall be laid through to Lake Champlain. Gi ‘The private houses of Montpelier, in the retired streets, are tasteful and comfortable, embowered in over-shadowing maple trees ; but the strevts are deep with dust, end the “ drouth” is the general complaint. 7 ‘The pay of the members of the Legislature is a edollar and a half a day. There are upwards of three huadred of them, alltold. If they were minished one hall, and the pay doubled, the State would, doubtless, soon realise the advantages of the change. x E Just now, a most sanguinary quarrel (without bloodshed) prevails, among the politicians. Asin 'W sconsin, a cort of treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, bus been entered into. between the free democracy, or tree soilers, ana the old hunker de- mocracy ; but, as in New York, there are some of the hunkers who kick agamstthe alleged surrender of their principles, and prefer deteat to victory with sucha combination. Judging, however, from the indignation of the whigs, at this democratie amalgamation, there is reason to suspect that it will make a considerable draft upon the rank and file of the whig party, even if it does not eventuate in re- ducing them to a minority in the councils of the State. The amalgamation seems to be gaining ground, and free soil and democracy are in a fair way of becoming identical in Vermont. 7 As faras we have been able to ascertain, there is no cholera in New England north of Massachu- eette, atany of the interior towns. Ww. Buruineton, Vt., July 14, 1819. ‘The Country between Montpeler and Burlington, Vt.—The Drought— The Railygads—The Shanties of the Werkmen, §c.—Canadian Annexation— Judge Collamer, §c. Several stages, each drawn by six horses, and earrying from twelve to seventeen passengers, and their baggage, came down from Montpelier to-day, forty miles. In our coach we had eleven passengers inside, including four Irish railroad workmen, and two Connaught wemen, each with a baby. ; they were going downto French’s contract,and their bed- ding traps and boxes filled the ind covered the top of the coach. They talked all the way very cheerfully, in an unknown tongue; and when they ot out at the end: of their journey, instead of Bandboxes, carpet-bags, and bird-cages, our lady ngers drew out the practical, useful articles From underneath the seats, of a bucket filled with ropes, a basket full of coffee-pots and tin cups, and an axe with which to split the wood to make the fire, to be sure. y The road from Montpelier to Barlington follows down the track of the Onion river, so called from the number of wild onions originally found upon its banks. Its course is winding, through a nar- row valley hemmed in by bold hills, frequently rising mto mountains, and often impinging, m rocky cliffs, upon the stream. The country has a much greener and better cultivated apeeemasiee than Northern New Hampshire; the fields are cleaner, the fencing is better, and the soil is evi- dently more productive. The drought this season has, however, ruined the calculations of the tarm- ers. Its effects are more perceptible in Vermoat than in New Hampshire. Some of the fields of rass are lterally Sorat out, and the growth of all the crops 18 seriously stunted. We dof one farmer who offered to sell two-thirds of his cattle at half price, but could not find a purchaser; and of another who proposed to purchase the coming po- tato crop of a neighbor at two prices, but tailed. _ The railroad through from Montpelier to Bur- lington, on Lake Champlain, is progressing rapid- ly. For twenty-five mules along the road, you are scarcely out of sight of clusters of shanties inha- bited by the busy families of the Irish laborers, and we guess that we saw‘at least a thousand men actually at work in the excavations of the blufis and on the embankments across the valleys, making such chasms through the solid rocks—and such hills of rocks!—and earth over the ravines as will leave their work ws durable as the pyramids of Egypt. The directors of this road have recent- issued $2,000,000 additional! stock, at @50 a share. t has been rapidly taken up, and the road by next January, it is expected, will be in travelling order from the Connecticut junction to Lake Champlain. Another rond is in course of construction from Burlington South, to connect with the Boston and Albany road. Twelve miles of it from thus place are to be opened to-day. And still another road, era continuation of the lwst route northward to the Canada line, is under way; 80 that within two years the little State of Vermont will have 300 miles of railroed within her borders. ee The annexation of Canada, by the most intelli- gent people ot Vermont, 18 considered inevitable as a thing which cannot be prevented, and which, therefore, requires no management to bring about. They have far lesa anxiety about it than of the ex- clusion of slavery from Celiforma and New Mexi- a = co; for of the latter —y have some misgivings, and of the former they have not adoubt. But it the measure ef Canadian annexation have to be presented to congr within the next two ears, as expected by many persons in this State, I will be stoutly resisted by the South, and per- haps only at length agreed to on the condition that Cuba 6 be acquired, divided into two s d that Florida and Texas shall also be divided into two or more State: New Bruns wick and Nova Scotia are added to Canada in the Northern annexation ; so as to keep the pd brivin in the Senate between the North and the South. Thermometer to-day at 60—a full of forty since yeeterday, with a sprinkle of rain. Among some of the politicians of Vermont there is an opinion that Judge Collamer will cease to be the Postmaster General on or shortly after the meeting of Cor ee; but on what ground we know not, unless it is on the presumption that the democrats will reject him in the Senate, in 4 ing his whole list of appointments, seriatim. That he is an efficient officer, no one pretends to deny ; that he isa decided whi free-soiler, no man pretends to doubt; ba popularity with the whigs of Vermont is lesa than we expected to find #0; but why #0, we cannot tell, unless the in the distribution of the offices.

The country considerably elevated above the level of the iver, andis mainly of a sandy formation. The spring, or rather its embouchure, is apparently sbout three or four feet in diameter, and the fluid has an uncertain motion, like the ebulitions on the surface of boiling water—throwing up with ita pure white sand. The remarkable characteristics of it are alow, rumbling, irregular noise, exactly like distant thunder, a tremulous er nervous mo- tuon of the earth, which is also irregular. The | rune tor may Y : onstantly shaking in this way, leaving an im- pression of insecurity and extensive hollows be- | neath surface. “The water issues from the side of the declivity, which presents the appear- ance for some distance, of aving sunk several feet below the original surtace. The volume of | water that issues from it, is not so great as one | would ey Without examining the stream as it runs off. is ion originates in the pa- roxyms of the spring, which casts up bubbles mixed with sand, that fall back into the basin without being carried offy beena good deal of philosophy uttered on « subject by the numerous visiters to the place, one that seems to give a very clear solution of the phenomenon. If some one had curiosity enough to open a sluice, £0 a8 to let the sand that is thrown up be float off from the source, in a very short time we should have the cause exposed to the eye. That, how- ever, would destroy the charm of the place, and put an end to the many pleasant parties which con- | gregate there in the summer months. We have no doubt that the surface of the spring has been | much higher than it is at present, and that it has sunk several feet. From the rumbling, sullen noises, too, there are in all probability great hol- | lows beneath, which will cause the surface to fall many feet farther. The wis certainly 18 a curi- | osity worth vi .

Sunday, July 22—6 P.M ‘The stock market presents the same features of inno tivity which we have noticed from dag to day, for some time past. Speculation is dead, and nothing appears likely to revive it. There is very little doing in the way of investment, and holders of stocks are all anxious- ly looking for an opportunity to get rid of them, So far as fancy stocks are concerned, this is not surprising, and the advance of two or three per cent would bring upon the market thousands of shares which are at present quietly resting in the hands of brokers, A number of years havo elapsed since the public hi participated to any extent in the buying and selling of Unproductive securities; it is a long time since the outsiders have been drawn into the combinations and rehemes of Wall street speculators; and it will doubt- less be @ long time before they again become so wild and desperate. The explosions of past years have opened the eyes of men; the brokers find the load of stocks upon their shoulders too heavy to carry, and have exercised all their ingenuity to draw in others to share the burden. Thus far they have been unsuc- cessful; and the developements which have recently been made relative to the position and condition of the leading fancy stocks, have by no means improved the prospects of holders. ‘The truth is, the public have no faith in the statements and reports of the re- sponsible men connected with the financial affairs of there companies. They have been so frequently gulled with favorable reports, endorsed by the most respec- table boards of direotore, that they have lost what little faith they had, and appear to have » perfect horror of them. Nearly every outside speculator has & very distinct recollection of some heavy loss on some of these fancies—on eperations into which they were drawn by the most flattering statements, and by the strongest assurances that there was no possibility of losing money; and it is not astoniehing that they are cautious, and look with suspicion upon every state- ment put forth in faver of any fancy. It is sufficient to look at the result of the specn- lative movements in Morris Canal, Norwich aod Worcester, Long Irland, Harlem, Canton Company, and dosen others, to deter any ono having anything to lose, from touching anything that has the slightest taint about it. There is not » single fancy stock in the list, that is worth at this mo- ment what it is selling at; that is pretty certain; bat it is difficult to tell what they really are worth. Enor- mous prices for these stocks have been obtained by the publication of reports, manufactured for special pur- poses, by responsible mauagers, who gave them an ex- tensive circulation, and thrust them dowa everybody's throat. Time has proved, beyond a doubt, the entire falsity of these statemeuts, and people have become surfeited with them. It is raid a burnt child dreads the Gre; and the maxim can be applied to outside speeu- lators in fancy stocks. have passed away, and we see no improvement im these stocks, They drag along @ precarious existence, without scarcely the shadow ofa chance of being rescued from hopeless insolveney. What is there to attract outsiders? What propect is there for any improvement in prices, beyoud a per cent or two, the result of a sickly effort of holders. Speculations for a rise have invariably been fatal to purehasers ; the ‘end over again, and at this moment are to be found all over Wall street the pro- mises to pay of broken down bull speculators, not worth the paper they are written on. The most recent break-dewn In the list of fancy stocks was in Reading, and it is only about six months since that collapse took place. That bubble was inflated by the manufactured reporte of thé respectable and res- ponslibe managers of the company, endorsed by commit- | tees of investigation composed of the most influential | and most distinguished members of society, a by statements put forth, Known to be false in particu” lar. What was the result? The ruin long since predicted by careful and cautious men. It is not diffloult to fore” see these results, {t does net require any great diseri- mination to arrive at correct conelusions im regard to ‘the operations of such concerns, It is #0 clearly to be seen how these movements must terminate, that it is & matter of astonishment to us that so many are caught in the trap set for them. The bait is prettily gilded, but the hook is not completely covered. ‘The Reading Railroad ( ompany was bankrupt years before the collapse; notwithstanding which, the fact was so mueh disguised, that thousands wore caught There are other railroad companies at this mo tin 4 it is as difficult to open the eyes of the public to the fact, as in regard to the Read- ing. The managers of these companies have to pursue A course, to cover up their insolvoney, of the most ruinous ebaracter; and at woveral years of such dirartrous operations, they leave the stockholders the ere shell or remants of the property placed im the | hands of the directors. Every one knowing how rapidly an individual, doing @ losing business, falls ia arrears frem the moment he is obliged to submit to the extor- tions of usurers, ean form some idea of the rapidity with which large and overgrown railroad corporation: managed by the most reapectacle and respousib| of the prerent age, become invelved when thoir earnings fail to pay current expenses. The Reading Railroad Company was, for © lomg time, sustained by « eourre of policy which has no parallel in the history of incorporated institutions in this eountry, and we venture the assertion that there are other railroad companies, apparently at this moment in» prosperous condition, as hopelessly bankrupt, and destined to ex- perience similar rerults. ‘The absence of speculation ls evidence that the se- cond sober thought of the people is at work; that the public bave no confidence in the reapectabli sponsible Individuals who compose the boards of direc- ao longer be deceived by polis! manufactured to order. They now demand facts, but find it exceedingly difficult to get them. Facts would ruin nine out of every ten incorporated companies in the country, and the managers are therefore extreme. ly cautious how they let them transpire. As we re marked in the commencement, speculation is dead. The Preeence of the cholera has, however, very little to do with it, If that should disappenr, buyers would be want- ing and there would be plenty of sellers. Quotations for stocks are pow maintained.im anticipation of a favorable change in the health of the eity. W’ that desirable event takes place, some new source of hope will, doubt- lene, be direovered. in the meen time, all the great bubbies are becoming rapidly inflated. Railroad bonds ere manufactured by the ream; millions are in the market for rele; and, as the money market improves, extensive trancactions are made, without any particu. lar regard as to the terme. This ieall very well for the present, pperently very emooth sailing Batiook out for breakers one of these days Our views relative to the incorporated companies of this country are entertained by the soundest minds in the country; and every day we have some new ovi- dence of this fect ; and every day we discover some new coure for adhoring to the opinions expressed. Where there bas been one successful eompany, there have been handreds aneuecessful; and where atock- holders have in one mstance realired anything on their od investment, they have, in a thoussnd cases, been twindled out of every farthin, 80 far as we have been able to investigate these swindling eoncerns, we have discovered that men of moderate means have invariably been the losers. People with email capi- tale are tempted, with large dividends, to invert. These purchasers for s time sustain the market value of the article, and the managers are able to effet their pri- vate operations, They reduce their supply of stock to afew & yd purchase largely of the several ia. hes | debtedness of the company previous to the grand ox- plosion.

Jones, Col, Benton's son-in-law, had resigned the Secretaryship of the Board of Commis sioners for the settlement of Mexican elaims, and that he had been sent to Mexico for information in rela- tion to the said claims, I have, however, to imform you that @ peep bebind the curtain at the White House, enabledfme to state that Mr, Jones has been @espatched by the government with all speed to Cali- fornia, over land, through Mexico, aud that the steamer ‘Water Witch has been ordered to convey him to Vera Crus. The object of the visit of this gentleman to Califor- nia, is not exactly known; but it has been surmised that its object is first to persuade Col. Fremont to cept the appointment of Commissioner to run the boundary line between this country and Mexico, to pursuade the people of California to frame & constitu- tion, and to inquire inégo the validity of certain grants of land supposed to be false, or invalid, Of late the administration has been fishing to gain over Col. Benton, or at least his influence or neutrality in the Senate, should he be re-elected to it. This is done by heaping undeserved favors upon the members of his family, as is proved by the above facts. Butit is supposed that Old Bullion will not at any rate take strong ground against the administration, bat will assume a medium course, supporting the government in certain measures, aud taking no active part in others. His hobby is at present, a railroad to the Pacide, from some point in Missouri; this road can never be made to pray comnts point. ‘The only point which presents itself at present, and which can possibly be made available for such a communication, is feom Matagorda, in Texas, up the Rio Grande to aso del Norte, and from thence across to theGila This route is nearly « direct line, and a road can be made at less than one halt of the expense than from any other point. Col. Weiler was removed because he was a demoerat, and did not enjoy the contideace of the administration this is the fact. “Phe charges made »gainst him by the whig press, of unnecessary delays at New Orleaus, are totaily false. There is not likely to be many more re- movais of democrats. The administration finds it is losing by it more than it can possibly gain; and further- more, that the public service, instead of profiting by it, actually ix the loser, because one-half of those appoint- ed to offices are green, raw hands, knowing bat little or nothing of the duties they have to perform.

"The British Navigation Act, recently passed, has been laid before the public, and it can be seen to what extent it goes, and how far the spirit of reciproeity, in its en- larged sense, forms a part of it. The subject is one of vast importance to this country, and the bill will, of course, be thoroughly inv ed. The United States has always been in favor of an enlarged and enlight- ened commercial intercourse, din Mr. Huskiseon’s 1\st of countries favorable to the principle of reciprocity, this country was placed at the very head.
