The Salisbury Watchnan and the Wilmington

Weldon Railrod.
We published last week. for the purpose OF calling
attention TO it, an article from the Salisbury Watch
man, making complaint of the detention of goods for
that point shipped by the way of Wilmington, and
abiding particularly to the instance of bundle of
shovels for G. NJ g. A. T. Jones, of Salisbury, NJ c.,
consigned 10 the Railroad Agent at Wilmington, &C."
Said bundle of shoTeIs having been ad vertsed under
the head Owner Wanted" The Watchman asks
"Why were they not sent forward to the Messrs.
Jones? Why keep them there and advertise for an
owner when it was we'll known to whom they be-
longed ?"
We are authorized to say that the advertisement
was not inserted by the Railroad Agent, hu, by the
consignees of the vessel which brought the said bun
die to this port and that then the railroad agent
was in possession of no bill of lading authorizing
him to take charge of the bundle in question: such
bill of ading not having arrived here until after the

attaches to the Northern Shippers who did not send

that the Road will receive and store goods to avail
