Plattsburgh, Sept. 6.--It has long been regarded of the first importance to the interests of the northern section of this state, that the intercourse between Lake Champlain and the river St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario, should be facilitated by good roads. The events of the late war have forcibly demonstrated the necessity of a good road from this place westward in carrying on a frontier war. And it is with much pleasure we state that this work is going on in pursuance of orders from the President of the United States, as mentioned in our last paper. About 230 of the 6th regiment, under the immediate command of Lt. Col. Snelling, have been engaged with the utmost zeal and activity, since Friday, the 29th ult. The troops will work until the 1st November, and it is calculated that 16 miles of the road will be completed the present season. It is the determination of the officers engaged in this service, to make a permanent road--one that shall do honour to the regiment, and be of service to the country; and as far as they have already gone this determination has been rigidly adhered to.
