The fallowing item, in reference to the At
lantic and Great Western Railroad, is from
the Bdlefonte Watchman:
"We are gratified to announce that the
project of completing the Atlantic and
reat Western R. R , has not been and will
not be abandoned by its projectors. In fact
the men who have ben to aH the expense,
that has been incurred in locating the route
for that road and in procuring its charter,
five the most solemn assurances, that work
on it will be commenced by the 1st of June,
1.-.68. McIIenry, the EDglish capitalist, is
imw in New York, making- preparations to
have the whole route completed in the short
est time possible, and Judge Barrett, who
conversed with him on the ISth Sept. tells
us that there is no doubt at all, but the en
