!, Wilmington Meehantcs.-Our agent Mr.. VIM.
| I. Jeandell, writing from Dover, on The 10th
} inst, says took stroll up the Railroad
this afternoon, when my sympathies were
much enlisted in behalf of our Wilmington
mechanics. About one mile and hat above
Dover, on the Railroad there are about fifty 4
men busily engaged choppng wood for the
Railroad company-they are principally from
Wilmington, of different trades-the shoema-
licr, tailor, blacksmith, mllwright, wheel
wright, cabinet maker, &c. Indeed the change
of exercise is quite severe on some who are
not accustomed to this kind of labor; but the
manly spirit prevades our industrial class
sooner than beg they would do anything hon.
orable to acquire livelihood. In conversa-
!, | ton with them found that they could not
earn much more than their living. Poor fell
lows! Many Of them have been accustomed
D to receiving $40 to So per waek, but quietly
A and humbly submit to the severe pressure and
look forward to the future with bright hopes

the working classes of New York. PhiIadel-

Il Large Estabiishment.-The largest car
rage mandatory in the State is that of Flag
Tor x Co., on the causeway, short distance
from the bridge over the Christiana. 1t is
9 stories high, 1876 feet long aud 40 feet wide.
The front of the first floor is used for
carriages, which need repair and for storing
wheels, &C., while the back part is used as a
work shsp the second story is used for an
office, trimming and show rooms, one of the
latter being 40 by ~ feet, while the third
story Is used for painting. Besides this build
ing there is also large blacksmith shop near
by They have room to probably employ
loo hands, but owing to the slight demand for
carriages, they have only about sixty at work.
They have on hand some forty or fifty carri-
y age comprising several different styles, many
J. of which present very neat and fine appear
.e unce. Many of them are designed for the
D. South, as their work sustains high reputa-
he ton in Baltimore, Savannah, Charleston, New
IL Orleans and st. Louis. Owing to the financial
as difficulties, however, the trade to the SO points
or has been Interrupted and therefore, those
re wishing to purchase at a low rate would do
en- well to eive them call.
