AN IMPORTANT MovE.-We understand that Mr.
FELTON,, the energetic President of the Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, contempates
delphia and Wilmington, both ways. Arrange
ments are now in progress for the construction of
light locomotives and cars to carry out the pro-
posed plan. This will place us in the suburbs of
the city, and bring to our county large increase
OF population. There is no spot on earth more
healthy and better adapted for private residences
than the ridge of land extending short distance
from, and overlooking the Delaware, between Darby
end Wilmington nor is it exceled in point of pro-
ductiveness, by any to be found elsewhere in the
State; while the whole country along the river is
noted for the uninterrupted good health of its cti-
zens. The land in this section Of the country which
can now be purchased for merely nominal sum,
will rise in value Immediately after the arrange
ment proposed by Mr.. FELTON, goes into operation
