PHILADELPHIA AND "rnE PESlNsuLA"-
J The Peninsula is a name given to the exten-
: siye area of land, lying between the Delaware
and the Chesapeake bays, and watered by ttihn-
e taries from each II was one Of the first Sec
tons of the coast peopled by Europeans, and
+ many of the small towns, both in Delaware aud |
Maryland, were settled more than two centuries |
v ago. The streams, particularly those flowing |
>. into the Chesapeake, are navigahe, aud the soil
Of both States is Of high order of natural
50 fertility. Tho Peninsula has been long as
ISOLATED with Philadelphia. This city, rather
= than Baltimore, has supplied its necessities and
ie bargnined for its produce. All efforts made 10
~ resIsciate or arouse the energies of its pc pile
- and develop its latent wealth have emanated
u from Phiadelphaus They have erected saw
Nv mills in it, swamps, and purchased md cut its
lumber They have supplied the capital to build
~ ~ its only railroad and many OF them have iu-
a. vested money in large tracts of its land Ex-
~ cepting counties however, the Peninsula
y has not improved in nearly the same ratio With
" other sections having less advantages
ne Extreme portions of Delaware, aud remote
II districts of Maryland, mantain the same rela-
v" tive wealth and energy which characterized them
,s half century ago. Snow HILL Princess Ann,
ir Sussex, Cambridge Easton, and Denton, are
nv populated by generous, but not energetic com
ler munities They still travel in stages Of past
Ten generation; their newspapers indicate excel
20 ence, which is not fully developed, because not
~ encouraged and their public schools are not of
w the grade which Pennsylvania teacher would
ess care to adopt. Many Of their farms comprise
.Av five. six, seven hundred. even thousand acres ;
100 they have few or no turnpisesi large areas of
gu land lying in the necks VI protruding into the
'he bays, are almost Inaccessible. We have heard
Ml'I for twenty years that the Peninsula is waking
ny up" AT the same rate, it will be wide awake
