Progress of the Terminal.

    CLEARWATER, Oct 15.--(Correspondence of THE TIMES.] By the courtesy of William Wincup, general passenger Agent of the Terminal Railroad, your correspondent rode southward over the new track this morning as far as Bonton. The condition of the track, for a new one, is remarkable. There is none of the jar and jolt that is usually experienced on a new track. The tracklayers have reached a point about two miles from Long Beach, and are pushing ahead as rapidly as possible. Mr. Wincup brought down a supply of rails and materials today. The company are experiencing some difficulty in securing the number of men necessary to rapid construction, but hope to have train service established not later than November 1. Substantial fences are being built along the line wherever needed, and the entire work of construction on this road is of that substantial, permanent character that denotes able management and abundant capital. A section gang was placed on the track at this point today, of which James A. Hill of this place--an old "C. B. & Q." man, is foreman.
