The Maryland and Delaware Railroad.


The cornerstone of this road was laid week !
or ten days ago, near Easton, Md. Gen. Tifgh- !,
man made an address OH the occasion, from !.
which we learn that t' -
1.-The grading of more than one-third of the
whole line has been completed, including tina;
part Of il which lies within The limits Of Della
ware. The entire line has been surveyed and
put under contract, and the location OF more
+ TIL. three OF IL Completed. The land
| tor nearly the whole route has been secured on
terms which are equally crcdiable TO the com
munity and favorable to the company; a con.
siderable portion of the timber has been prOcUr-
ed the negotiations for the iron and equip
| ment have been commenced with parties of the
highest standing, and have progressed sufficient
! ly TOR to leave doubt OF their success in the
minds OF those who are engaged in conducting
them, and with whom the company are in con-
stant communication.
Such, fellow citizens. we feel warranted in
assuring you IS NOW the case. The benefits of
the road are nOU within your reach, and you
can obtain them whenever you choose, by sub.
scrlbing the moderate sum OF 100000. But
e you certainly will not obtain them aud will not
deserve them, If you rely on those who dwell
beyond the limits Of the road to furnish the
whole of the means. C, me up then, to work
, like men who are determinedato to succeed, and
, never let il be said that when others are wait.
log TO help us, we are not willing to help onr-
selves.
f The present stockholders will be amply re-
e paid for tn: investment by the revenue from
the first two sections of the road. But it will
make vast difference in the profits of your
y business whether the entire road be finished al
u once, or whether it be stopped at atGreensborough
e for 5, or 10, or Is years. But have no fears
of any such result. Already, since our arriva
. on the ground, have been authorized by one
of our most substantial farmers, not heretofore
- a stockhOlder, to say that he will become one

IT We speak with the greatest confidence oil
20 this point-because it has been proven by th
actual experience of the Del. r. R. Only tw
'e weeks since was informed by one OF the larg
Is esq stockholders in the Phila., Viii. g. Bait
st Co., by which the Del X. K. is leased and work

Is proved by its present business) would amOuu
y to $20O,OO0. His estimate OF our revenue
'g without making any allowance for the super
y orlty of our route, was $l50,00O per annum.
