LETTERS FROM UNCLE JOSEPH.
A Trip to Caroline County.

AEBSRB EDITOR5;-l see III the IIfOuW
of the present week, an article over thu
signature of "Observer, in which the writei
expresses the opinion that did not see Della
ware from the most favorable point of view,
viewing it from the railroad, and also that he
has seen more of the State than l have
Both of these statements / believe to b.
correct, and perhaps failed to notice some
things that would show up the State in 6
more favorable light, as for instance its
peach orchards, which abound in that part
Of the State through which passed, and
which give promise, judging from theiI
fiourishing condition, of an abundant harvest
in the future, and the general want of suita.
BILE buildings is partially atoned for, by their
being Cat remote distances) elegant mansions,
with tasteful lawns and convenient outbuild-
ings. But these being the exception and not
the rule, my position as regards the general
farming interest of the State, believe to be
correct. 1t is very true that my knowledge
of Delaware farming is very limited, and l
write these criticisms more with view of
inducing those who have better means of
Judging to give their information to the pub
lie for the general good. and not hide their
light under bushel.
may also say that the most of nv obser-
vations were made in that part of MARYLAND
bordering on the Delaware line Leaving

in the single Messenger car for Goldsborouch
and after much waiting the iron horse paye
the accustomed signal. and we were on our
way. In looking through tbe dirty car
found il freiphted with dozen rongb ,ook-
ing men, with one solitary female. The
speed of the car, which seemed to be n fair
type of the general business affairs of the
district, was about six miles an hour IL talk
ing about three hours to 90 eighteen miles
Our progress seemed so slow that soma If
the passengers thought we might oct off and
get some refreshments and then ov.r,oLo,ha
