Ma. WEAVER Dear Sir,--In my last pro-
posed 10 drop some hints ~ to the way in
which emigration should take place, or that
emig'ants should come into this peninsula.
And in The first place remark that no one
man OF family should come alone 10 settle 10
this coup,ry- - no, right that one family
should Drop down alone into such an abyss
Of incompatibiIities and incongsnislitles as
will be found here. Several families, at least
three or four, should come together; and i,
would be better that dozen or more should
come together, ,-embracing the various trades
necessary 10 the comfort and convenience of
community. In this way much unpleas-
sniness, and some imposition may be avoid
ed. Let 1t ba borne in mind that good,
energetic brick. maker shonld be embnced
by any company coming here 10 settle. Then
a grist, or saw mill should absolutely be pur-
chased or built for the special bsnsfi. Of the
company. You have men in your neigh
borhood, cir, whom could name, abundant.
y able to take these departments in hand,
and | am Satisfied they would have to travel
tar to make better investment in that way
Than they can make here. There are great
forests of oak timber here and iI Sussex
county. and further son,h much pine anG ce-
dar. the ps10-ef lumber, is very high
about the SAND as in PhiladeIphia. But all
these matters should be looked into BY indi-
yidusls compe,enl 10 judge, and determine,
Ebsiore any purchase is made by any such
company. As have suggestsd--come and
see.
But, sir, there is one aspect in which the
country should be viewed By those who con-
template senling here, and which is not gen.
era!ly considers mean its moral and reli.
sious condition. remark then, in this con-
nexion, that Mthodism is The prevailing sys-
tenn of religion throughout the entire penin.

own way. Here and there pnbic congre.
CATION of Episcopaans aud Presbyie:ians
barely preserve their identity in the midst Of
The dominant and prevailing sect. But let
no, our Methodist brethren suppose tha, here
is jus. what they wau,-2just what will suit
them. ''tsJs. thiw fisrsssins unciion 10
your SOUL" Hell you, charge you to come
no, here with the thought of settling down
and identifying yourselves with the masses
that press so uniformly-I had almost sald
so heavily-upon almost every mile Of this
beautiful plain. | say, let the emigrant Of
whatever denomination, coming here, bring
companions enough with him, and money
enough, to render him independent in all re-
spec,s of the ns.ives.
The best land in this peninsula can be pur.
chased at from $40 to SIS, and well Sc, with
oak, and within ten miles o. navigstion.-
The water OF this country is as pure as IN
The valley of Fishingcreek. Every article
produced. above wha, is recessary for home
consumption, finds ready market.
Your men of capital would do we'll 10 vis-
il Delaware and sec for themselves the in
ducemen,s tina, sfe- here held ont 10 those
who have capital to iuvesl, or sons to settle
and provide with farms. To sll, would
say, who have The disposition 10 embark in
this kind Of adventure anywhere, como and
see this country, and consider the induce.
ments and advantages i, presents.
Yours truly,
