There have been io uiany report! in regard to thii road that any new one attract! but little attention; but it appeari on investigation that this litest one, while not wholly cor rect, ii well founded. From tbe best information attaina ble, it Ktenil quite certain that about tbree-fourthi of the men at work on the line are to be laid off today. The three dredgei, which have been work ing night and day building the em bankment, or grade, acrosa the tide- lands above Tongue point, will be kept at work; but will work in the day time only.

Thii meaui the cessation of work on the greater part of tbe lino on high gronud. Tbe reason given for keeping the dredgei at work on the tidelaud ia that it ii deairable to get the grade built there before next spring, ai a bigb flood might interrupt it. Tbe work on tbe high ground can be done at any time, and next lummer to better advantage than during the winter, aud there need be no trouble about the road beiug completed by next harvest.
