GOING FOR GRANT.

The changes from the opposition party to
the support of General Grant are so numer-
on, that they seem like return of the times
of '6l, when the great mass of War Demo-
Gratis changed front and stood up beside the
men who had elected Lincoln. From all
quarters there is reported grand rush.
Among the most prominent recently are the
following

politicians of Virginia, is out in brief let

General Walter Whitaker, of Kentucky,

into three companies commanded by their

their seats when il was announced that the

The Character ofthe Union Pacific Rail.
road.

While every person who has followed the
progress Of that wonderful undertaking, the
Union Pacific Railroad has marvellcd at the
unparalleled rapidiiy with which it has been
constructed some haye felt skcptical as to
the character OF the work which was being
done with such apparently headlong speed.
Was it possible 10 build seven hundred
miles Of railroad in two years, and do il
well ! Could railroad from New York to
Chicago be well built in two years time q
And if not here, where all the appliances
needed were at hand. or could be obtained
at days notice, then how much less in
region beyond settlement, beyond civiliza-
ton, and where laborers, supplies, tools, and
all else, except tile land upon which the
road was built, must be transported hundreds
Of miles before reaching the spot where they
were wanted. In short, the question, is
the road well-built z" has been the one for
whose satisfactory solution many have wait
ell before investing their means in the Com
pany's securities, which are liberal in their
provisions, and safe beyond peradventure,
If an affirmative answer to this question can
he fully established.
Upon this point we must take the testimo-
ny Of personal witnesses, who have been
upon the ground and examined the work.
Fortunately an opportunity has Just beer
afforded and improved for full inspection
of the road and its belongings, by party
of gentlemen who represent the reading AM
thinking people. Thirty gentlemen, repre-
senting as many Of the leading journals q
the eastern cities, have just returned from
trip which included over seven hundre
miles OF the Union Pacific Railroad. The
had special train at their disposal, to sto
where they wished, to run fast or slow a
they might desire, and which gave them ia
better opportunity to see beth the goo
parts of the road, and the bad ones-if an
= exist-than the ordinary travel by regula
: trains. These witnesses are men of judi
ment and discrimination, and their person,
= characters, as well as the names OF the jou
mails which they represented, are guarante
that they write only what their conviction
: dictate. Let us see what some ofthese ger
e tlemen say of the character of the Union P'
cifc Railroad:
Hon. Charles A. Dana, of the New Yor
; Sun, late Assistant Secretary of War, says
g "a party of thirty gentlemen
have lust returned from an excursion to Il
present terminus of the Union Pacific RAJ
road at the Rocky Mountains. Their una
p imous opinion is that the road is constructt

rig EXPECTATIONS OF MAJOR BIGGs.
grand Democratic meeting was held in APP
poqunmink, under the arrangements Of Mr..
Samuel Townsend, some days ago, at which
speeches were delivered by Captain Barr, of this
CITY, j. B. Pennington, Esq, and Major B. T.
Biggs All this occurred in one day, since which
the papers state that Appoqunimlnk is g awake. y
We should think SO.
The Middletown Transcript reports the follow
ing incident of the meeting. While Major Biggs
was speaking he alluded to the prospect that the
Democrats would carry all three of the counties
in the State. Turning to Mr.. Richardson the
Democratic candidate for Sheriff. who was pres
ent, he said, Richardson hunt up your suretes
we shall carry every Hundred in New Castle Co.,
except, perhaps, Christiana and the City Of VIII
mington, and old Appoquinimink will take care
of Wilmington and balance her majority. Mr.
Richardson replied that the Democrats expected
to carry Wilmington, which would leave the Re-
publicans only Christiana. The announcement
mas hailed with ant,lanse
THE CONGRESS CONTEST.
The delegates of the Democracy from this city
are elected in the interest of Mr. Lore, and will
do their best for him. If Wilmington was repre-
scented in proportion to the Democratic vote, she
might have some show of getting her candidate.
As ii is, Mr.. Lore works against wind and tide.
