Smith has returned to this country,
and is now in Virginia. Immedi-
ately on arriving at Havana he
wrote to General Grant asking
whether he General Smith, would

General Grant replied in the most
friendly manner informing General
Smith that he would be paroled and
placed on the same footing as other
Confederate officers should hereturn
to the country. This letter, in some
way, found its way to the dead-let-
ter Office, whence, after the lapse of
several months, it was forwarded to

Improvement in Gas Lighting

the most recent out NOT least important OF these i'm

Ene process consists in adding TO gas, before it is
burned, the yapQr Of heavy, noR-voatile hydro-ca~

and one which is likely to bring it into favor with
dealers IN cOlOred wares is that coiOrs appear in il

remarkably steady. and the light most agreeable

The following statement from the Chemical Ne,cs
shows the saving that may be effected by using the
and burned in fat flame burners, gives the light OF
800 candles. An addition to this Of AZ TBS of car

Dear Sir-We are pleased to see that an effort is
being made by your citizens to induce the President
and Directors Of the Philadelphia Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad to make at least one daily close
connection with the Delaware Railroad, so that pas
sengers for Baltimore shall not be detained at Will
mington for several hours. while those for Philadel
phia carried right through. 1t is giving to Phil
adepha an advantage which is telling largely in her
favor, and correspondingy injurious to the trade of
Baltimore 1t is subjeetng those who prefer to deal
in your market to an inconvenience and delay which,
if not removed, will cause many to change their
place of business. Persons will, general thing,
seek the most accessible market.
We, this shore, are. by the present arrangement
enty-four hours, and, frequently, thrty-sx hours
later in getting our mails from WASHINGTON and Bal
timore, and, a result, the Philadelphia papers have
had the more general circulation. Weget the morn
ing papers at night whilst the Baltimore papers are
two days old, and our letters are, frequently, three
DAYS in reaching from correspondents in your
city. All this can be avoided, and Baltimore brought
closeto Philadelphia by changing the present
arrangement and giving US one train daiyto connect
at Wilmington.
