Mr.. Editor:-I have recently seen a copy
of your Circular proposing to establish
Daily Paper in Wilmington, and concluded
that you would want something to help fill
up the first number; having so often been
deceived by such representations before,
Judged that the advertisements, etc., would
at first be " few and far between" until it
makes its appearance, after which, if worthy,
you may rely on its being literally sustained,
AS have never had my name in print, except
once, in the list of advertised letters, and
then it was not for me, but anoter man Of
the same name, ! think it is good oppor-
tunity. The way discerned the letter was
not intended for me was that it contained
"dun," had it been "yellow" l should
have appropriated it. am an early riser,
and will be delighted to read the news before
breakfast, as after the mail arrivesI am always
immersed in business, and cannot get time,
consequently have taken no paper save a
slow weekly for long time, and find myself
fast merging into old fogyism, am glad
there is enough Young America in our midst
to give us good local daily journal of our
own, and if il is not properly supported, it
will not be because our citizens do not
greatly need such a medium. But I have
no doubt of its success, il it is conducted

LIGHTING RAILROAD CARS WITH CASA
locomotive and six cars go out nightly from
this city to New York, lighted by gas, and
the difference between the gas-lighted and
candle-lighted gives to the former the appear
ance Of an Illuminated train shooting off
through Jersey on some gala occasion. The
gas is forced by pump at the depot through
small iron pipes into strong wrought iron
and brazed cylinder, which is fixed beneath
each car and thence conveyed through pa
tent regulator to the interior. The sup
ply in the cylinder is enough to feed two bur
ners for fifteen hours, while the time of max
ing the trip to New York is four hours. By
the action of the regulator, the force on the
burners is so equalized that the flame does
not vary from the moment of lighting until
all the gas is consumed. The company is
arranging in Its new depot, gas generator
by which TO manufacture its own gas. The
cost of the gas consumed on a single trip is
ten cents of sperm candles, which they
have heretofore used, the cost was fifty-two
cents. The time occupied in filling the six
cars is less than two minutes. - Philadelphia

NJ In COMMENCING the publication OF

be very concise and explicit, lest our motives

cherished design frustrated through mis-
taken idea of the relative and proper posi-

A LOCOMOTIVE FOR COMMON RoADs.-An

pleted by Messrs. Adamson u Co., patentees
of the flange seam for steam boilers, at their

tried on Wednesday afternoon, the 18th, for
some time upon the paved road livery uneven)
near the works. 1t is, however, intended
for use upon macadamised road, for which
it is better adapted. The boiler is an ordi-
nary multitubular one, TIVE feet six inches in
diameter, and five feet six inches long, and is
made to carry working pressure Of one
hundred and fifty pounds to the square inch.
There is compactly fitted underneath it a
tank which will contain seventy gallons of
water.
The engine weighs tons 16 cwt, and is
equal to journey of seven or eight miles
per hour, and may be driven at much high
eI speed. The total length, 9feet 10 inches,
this additional space affording accoInmoda-
tons for the stoker and controller; the width
is feet inches. It is driven by pair Of
wheels feet inches diameter, and there is
one wheel under the front end, which is un-
der the direction of the controller, who guides
by tuning handle similar to a railway

side having Is inches stroke. The rims Of
the wheels have good beadth, so as to have

10 The PROCEEDINGS of Congress o
Thursday were ,lpresssnt. In the senai
the bill providing for the employment Of iiv
regiments of volunteers was amended so
to reduce the number Of regiments to three7k
one to be employed on the frontiers OF TexasIi
and the others in protecting emigrant anfl
government trains on their way across thl
Plains-and in that shape passed by vot
of forty-one to thirteen.
In the House the bill for the admission OF
Kansas under the Lecompton constitution
was amended by substituting for it MIR. ont
tenden's proposition. This was also amended
by striking out the portion that prohibite'
any but citizens of the United States iron
voting in the Territory upon the question q
acceptance or rejection Of the constitution
and in several other but unimportant res
pects and the bill was then passed by vol
of one hundred and twenty yeas to one hui
bred and twelve nays. All the members
the House were present, except Mr.. Car
theirs, of Missouri, who has been absei
during the entire session, on account of sic
r ness. Notwithstanding the result in Il
y House, the friends of Lecompton are st
i sanguine Of ultimate success. They point
