ADVANTAGES OF DELAWARE.
The m.'crill advantages of the State
of Delaware are equal to those Of any
por. ion Of our country of equal ex ont.
1t possesses mild climate, favorable to
the development Of all northern crops,
and which is unsurpassed in salubrity.
Especially is Delaware adapted to the
cultivation of early fruits and vcgeta-
bes a consideration which, in view of
its proximity to the great markets of
New York and Philadelphia, is no small
value. The soi. is productive and cas-
lily titled. 1t is undulaing in surface,
free from stones and other surface annoy

Of iine and early fruits and vege ables.
Many spots are adapted to the raising
of cranberrics. Great profits have been
realized IN some localities from the rails
ing of peaches and sweet-potatoes. We
are told that peach trees are here free
from the light that effects them further.
north and thus the trees last and thrive
many years, aud the fruit comes to its
fullest perfection. There are already
large numbers Of trees in bearing con-
d ion, and The fruit-canning business
must become very extensive aud lucra-
tive, in addition to that Of selling in the
curran' market"
. Coed land may be obtained at from
ten to TWEEN dollars an acre for inferior
quality, and from twenty to for y dollars
for the be ter quality. In the central
and southern parts of The State there
are still large quantities Of virgin land,
more or less heavily wooded and tim
bered, whose trees are to be felled, and
whose soil developed BY the hand Of
Industry.
This timber is of excellent quality,
and may be devo'e ed to various profitable
uses. Manufacturers and artisans OF
every kind can here, as everywhere else,
find profitable employment, aud ready
aud rcmuuerativc sale for their products,
either Il, home or abroad. The travel
ing facilities of the State are most excel
lent Railroads or good harbors are Of
easy access in every part.
With regard to the church and school
adyan ages in Delaware, we are told
thai they are "not as good as they
should be, or as they would have been
but for the blightlnginAucnce of slavery,
yet much better than can be found in
most places where land is equally cheap
incomparably better han can generally
be enjoyed in the new States and Terri
tories of the Far West, with the ordi-
nary progress of popula ion, for wears
to come. There are churches of differ
cnt denominations in principal villages,
aud large number, par icularly Of the
Methodist denomination, at convenient
dis ances in the country. Aud school
houses are generally wi hin two or three
miles of each other in the country, aud
in many of the llages there are qui e
good common schools, and some acale-
mics. There is only need of an infusion
Of Northern religious and educa ional
elements. The population that will
ma urally be drawn to this State through
this enterprise, will be religious, moral,
intelligent, refined and enterprising."
Such openings to Northern men as are
here offered result ligllinntely from the
probability of the speedy adoption of
an honest plan of emancipation. ns.cad
Of filling the North with hordes of new
compcti ors for employment, clnancipa-
ton will open in the Sou h new fields Of
enterprise in which Nor hern strength
and skill will be afforded increased op-
portunitios for development.
