from the talk of the lottery men in Dover, last
February, we had only to pass that dlsgruceiu!
scheme through the Legislature, and 10! ! as il
by magic the Southern section of our State
would be Il perfect web of Railroads. Bat two
months have flown by aud the NJ tnrd Junction
Road, the only one in any state Of advancement
at this time, and the one which was to feel the
benefit of the bill the saonest, is in Statu 0uO ;
nicely graded but no iron to be seen or hcard
OF, and mule team talked of as the most that
can be expected to be run on the iron when II
does come. AS TO the other roads, they are as
yet no where, except in the brains of Directors
and Engineers. 1t begins to be felt that little
Delaware is sold in more senses than onc-that

that Railroads were used to blind Us to dis.
graceful and wel-nigh proflless bargain.
