Mr.. EDIToR!-As you have fire.
quently solicited your friends and
patrons to keep you posted in the
current news of the day, / have con-
cluded to scribble few lines.
The general expressed opinion is
that the corn crop in this vicinity
is, and will be very poor, perhaps
not more than half an average one.
The buckwheat that you recommend
to be sown to fill up the vacant pla-
ces occasioned by the wet season, is
looking very well, in full blossom.
Potatoes of both varieties are very
good. Cabbage beans. and peas are
good; and SO far as I have heard
there is no danger of starvation to
any who have used the means afford
ed them by Providence. Upon ia
king a view of things in genar~l, IL
would seem that one of the sources
of trouble and disquietude, is the
perpetuation of the ancient disputa-
ton of which we have read in the
great book of human nature. 1t is
perhaps the prolific source Of more
chickering's in the community than
anything else; it is perhaps the cause
Of more little feuds in the neighbor-
hood than all other causes. It en-
tiers into most of the transactions
among men, causing contentious and
strifes. 1t has bsen known to cause
the best friends and nearest relations
to get by the ears, and make such
an exhibition of themselves as is
Ridiculous for persons who are sober
and in their right minds. The
troublesome thing is this--it is dis
putting who shall be greatest. This
is the great cause which rends fami.
lies, neigborhoods, and even king
doms, causing wars and rumors Of
wars with all their evil concomi-
tants.
1t is written by the highest au-
thority, that he wno exalteth himself
shall be abased, and he that would
be first shall be last. For a man to
have desire to excel in any good
business in which he may be engaged,
is lsudable and praiseworthy. It is
right for the philosopher to desire to
solve every problem in philosophy:
and SO with the doctor, mechanic,
farmer, &c. But if their motives be-
come so base as that the one idea
of being the greatest, absorbs all
the resi-, IL is spoiled sfrair.

THE RAIL ROAD.

We learn from one Of the Direc-
tors who is well posted in the affairs
of the road, that the company is
ready to.place that section Of the
work from Milford to Georgetown,
under contract at any time that the
stockholders of this County wish il
to be done. Many of our citizens
are DESTROYS that the work should be
commenced immediately, whilst there
are others who desire that it should
be deferred until next year, when
they shall be better able to pay in
their subscriptions of stock.
The Directors say, and so does
the Engineer, with the amountS OF
money already subscribed by our
citizens, they could engage in the
grading Of theIroad, after the compile
ton of which they could procure the
iron without much difficulty, having
now a credit basis of nine miles Of
running road. a
1t is probable, however, from all
we can learn, that the work will not
be commenced unit the spring.
A meeting was held here on
Tuesday, which had for its object
the early extension of the Junction
& Breakwster Rail Road. 1t was
resolved that the committee who
hold Subscription Books be reques-
ted to notify their subscribers Of an
adjourned meeting to be held 4th
day of October, and that the Direc-
tors be invited to attend the meet
ing.

about completing beautiful double

arranged, and altogether a tasteful
edifice and an ornament to the town.
Still another creditable residence is
being erected by Mr.. Alfred Man

been erected. Also, Mr.. Noah Ma

LETTER FROM SALISBURY.


LETTER FROM SALISBURY.
Mr.. EDSroR:-'Leaves have their
time to fall" and 10! it is here, The
golden glo4ies of autumn begin TO
exhibit their mapy-hued tinges in
field and forest wide; and though
we have not yet felt the keen breath
of the early Frost, the lawns are
strewed with those impressive mont
tors that point humanity to its sad
destiny; and beneath our thoughtless
tread, IL crisp whispers tell Of NOR
taIity and the tomb.
The general health Of this COM
munity, for tae season, is unusually
good. The. tradition that this is a
sickly clime-a bilious country, is
rapidly vanishing from the popular
mind. King Calomel and his train
of bitter attendants, will soon be a.
bout as useless in the realm of ply
sic, as Pic Memo is in his NOM

SEES, in many localities, are reported
to be actually needing exercise to
regulate the exuberance of flesh,
consequent on dull practice.

siasm about that march Of improve
ment, a Railroad to our doors, not
few of our citizen subscribers to
the capital stock, look blue when
the energetic collector calls for the
instalment of cash needed at this
juncture. to keep the ball in motion,
or in other words to clear the track

is snorting already in the town of
Laurel, impatient to advance south

the progress of this enterprise would
show the world, and the rest of 'em

LETTER FROM PHILADEL-
i. PHIA.

Mr. acknowledgement are gen.
orally considered very good at max
ing money, but we heard of a case
last week which we think beats any,
thing Of the kind we ever heard Of.
Two men from our city, having
nothing else to do, concladed to pay
the land of sand and sweet potatoes
visit. When they arrived at
Camden, they came across a knight
of the star, commonly called police
man, who offered to show. them a.
round. Being strsngert 10 that
part of the country, they very
thankfully accepted his services,
and started on their jOurnry In
return for the policeman kin9ir6ss
they treated him handsomely But
they soon found out that he,tould
hold more of the Jersey lightning
than they could, and the conse-
quence was tibet they got glonoulsly
drunk, but their starry friend was
none the worse for wear. Now, it
came the turn for the policeman to
act,- go he walked them off to Jan al
derman's Office, and charged them
with drunken and disorderly con-
duct. The two men happcaed to
have a friend at court, whd fully
understood the matter, and through
his exertions they were released.
The policeman of course VAS strip
ped of-his badge of Office, asd 1 an
Informed that he is now seeking a
situation as conductor on one of our
city passenger railroads. When he
gets it / will inform you Of tie fact;
but please do not be disappointed if
| never have the honor ESQ doing.
There was a great horse rale here
the other day, and some if our
young bloods have caught tie race
fever to some dextent. Very early
the other morning, two young men,
clerks on Market street, RAM race
in the neighborhood of Brow street
for a bottle of wine. In their course,
they came across policeman, and
as they were going at an unusually
rapid rate, he supposing them to be
burglars, gave chase, and oveshauIed
them. He was very much surprised
and mortified to find, that, instead
of burglars, they we're two Of the
upper ten;" and amidst heap of
apologies, he cleared himself no
doubt resolving that he would be
sure who he was after the next
time. ssu B .loeMii
