The Railroad.

| Mr.. Editor--pefhsp APPS il will be gratifying
TO your readers TO learn that prompt measures
are being adopted for the early organization Of
the Queen Anne's aud Kent County Railroad
Although we fear that the great reaction in
ia prices of grain will retard the necessary SUBJ
Iscriptions, yet we hope that the generally ava
kened interest of the community, N the impor-
lance of the work, will call forth exertions on
the past of our citizens which will ensue its
early completion. =
Never is the necessity Of a railroad connec-
ton with New York more apparent than at
periods of loD prices like the present. The
Prices Current, as quoted in the Baltimore
American of last "Wednesday, show that while
corn is selling in Baltimore at 45 cents, the
same article is quoiedi IN New York at ga cts (.
We have the positive assurance OF capitalists
and business men in Delaware. that il we will
extend our road TO The Delaware line, in the
upper part of Kent county, that they will there
meet us, and build a roadsfrom thence, through
Smyrna, to Bombay Hook, there TO connect
with line of steamers which shall carry our
grain 10 New York at a rate of freight not ex-
ceeding 3 or 81 cents per bushel. Thus max
ing the whole rate of freight from here to New
York not more tbsn 3 cents over Baltimore
| freighis, while the difference in price in the
two markets is Ia cents 1t will thus be seen
that 800 bushels of corn transported to New
York at the rates proposed, will nett as much
to the farmer as 400 bushels sold in Baltimore
| DO not such facts as the aboye, show that fhe
farmers will be blind to their own interests, il
they fail to render prompt aid to this great
work. And, as the commissioners will organ
ize at an early day, and open books for sub
scription 10 the stock of the company, let ns
hope that their efforts will be promptly support

or We end the following article, relative
30 the .sQaeen Anne's and Kent County Rail-
road, !" in the Centrepilte (Md.) Times, which
we transfer to our columns, as the route pro-
posed has direct reference to our town. The
writer says that positive assurance of capital
lists and business men of Delaware has been
given that if the Maryland road is run to the
upper part of Kent county, they will connect a
railroad herewith running through Smyrna to
Bombay Hook. The business men in this part
of the county have desired this facility for some
time, and, at the last session ofthe Legislature
made an effort 10 obtain the necessary charter
but the bill granting the same was, on its thirt
reading, defeated in the House of Representa-
tiyes. 1t is feared, since the State has becom
such large stockholder in the Delaware Rail
road, that line Ono matter how desirable) in

dies, who are in the habit Of committing depfa-
dations upon the property of our citizens. A
few nights since these night-maranders were
out, and. as usual, damaged a considerable
amount Of property. They broke two marble
slabs belonging to d. Stevenson, stone-cuttsr.
valued at about $500; broke open several
doors greatly laceraled the awning in front
of S. C. Eaton's clothing store; loOsened the
iron-raiIing (Which they took entirely down not
long since) in front of J. r. Clements dwelling
house; broke street-lamps; pulled up by the
roots and broke many snail shade trees besides
perpetrating great many more equally dis
graceful acts. Now,it is very strange that
these fellows should be SO exempt Of all kind Of
respect or dccency. They cannot long act so
with impaniiy. Something must be done to
| put stop TO this thing. The Town Commits
sioners have offered areward Of twenty dollars
for the apprehension of The guilty parties, but
as yet 20 arrests have been made. Three young
| men who were strongly suspected. took their
departure on Saturday night. In justice TO our
town. we mast say that two Of them are Phila-
aelphans and had been living here but short
time. Suspicion, however rests upon several
others. still in our midst, who may yet be made
to wrggle under the switch's entie influence.
