The INLAND ROUTE. On and after the first Of July,
baggage will be checked at the Wilmington boats
from Charleston TO New York. baggage master
will be present. who will give the check, and accom-
pany the baggage. This will obviate the trouble and
difficulties of the different portages the route which
have heretofore been so much complained of.
The Railroad cars at Wilmington will wait, if nee
essary, until O'clock, p. m, for the boats from
Charleston, so TO take passengers without de-
tention delay.
The Wilmington and Weldon Road is now all laid
with heavy rail, except nine miles adjoining w ell
don, and eight Wilmington, where there is a
heavy fange rail, and the road in good order. The
Wilmington Road is now one of the best in the Un-
ted States, and the engines Of superior charac-
ter. The boats running between Wilmington and
Charleston also in the perfect condition. and
the offers every inducement of speed, comfort
and safety. To add the facilities of this route, the
w eldon and Portsmouth Railroad is nearly compile
ted, having been reaid with heavy iron to within IA
miles of Weldon, and the entire road will be ready
for travel by the month of August. Superior boats
are being built, and will be in readiness to from
great inducements in the way of comfort aud des-
will reach Portsmouth the next evening at o'clock,
take the steamboat, and after comfortable nights
sleep, will reach Baltimore next morning, IL hours
in advance ofthe mail by Richmond and Washington.
The President of the Wilmington Road, Gen. Nc
Rae, deserves the highest credit for the energy and
ability which he has manifested, under many trying
circumstances, in the management of the road, and
we trust that its improved condition, while it adds
greatly to the comfort of the travelling public will
result in largely increased profits to the stockholders
