At Alexandria, Va, a few nights ego,
two young men who we're both in love with
the same young lady, having come to the
conclusion that neither could live happily
with their sweetheart in the possession Of
the other, walked to the wharf, and, clasp
ing their hands, jumped into the river. How
romantic, if they had died. But the cold
water opened wide loves blind eyes, and
each hoping the other would be drowned,
both struck gu. boldly for shore and reached

HailrOad NigtteYz.

We are reliably informed that the june
tton ard Breakwatcr Railroad will be
opened for travel to Lewes on or about the
18th of August. A pier nj which steam
boats can land will bo completed about the
same time.
Grading has been commenced on the
Queenstown and Harrington Railroad, and
contract entered into for building the
road at once. Track will be laid as far
as Ridgely by December. The route of
this road is a course nearly due west from
Harrington to the Choptank river, at the
stakes, thence straight TO Broad Creek on
Kent Island. Its importance and value
may be inferred from the fact that it will
open direct communication between Balti-
more and Lewes by connecting with the
junction and Breakwater Railroad. The
distance from Baltimore to Broad Creek
by steamer, is 25 miles, from Broad Creek
to Harrington 40 miles, Harrington to
Lewes, by rail, Al miles. From Lewes to
Baltimore 106 miles. Lewes to Philadel-
phia 142 miles. The difference in fare
and freight will divert much of the trade
of Sussex county to Baltimore, and save
to that city the custom of all the lower
part of the peninsula.
The Maryland and Delaware Railroad
has large force employed endeavoring to
complete the road to Easton by the first Of
August.
The Kent and Queen Anne's roads are
also pushing work so as to secure as much
of the fruit freight of this season as possi-
bic. The section between Townsend and
Massey's Cross Roads was finished on
Thursday week.
The Dorchester and Seaford Railroad has
track laid within ten miles of Cambridge,
and hopes are entertained that it will be
open through to that point in less than a
month.
The Smyrna Times mentions that the
Vineland, or Delaware and Raritan Bay
railroad, New Jersey. is also after por-
tion of the Delaware and Maryland peach
freight en- route to New York Most of
the road from Vineland to point on the
bay opposite Bombay Hook has been put
under contract, and two sections are be-
ing graded for the iron. This looks to
the building of the Smyrna and Bombay
Hook road to make connection with the
Maryland and Delaware railroads. s.-Dcla-

PROBABLE WRECK OF AN OCEAN STEAM
ERA Boston paper has the following
alluson to disaster briefly reported by
telegraph:
"Captain Spooner, of the ship Timour,
which arrived at this port on the 3D. inst.
from Liverpool, reports on the 18th June,
when in latitude 43 north, longitude Al 90
west passed vessel bottom up, which was
supposed to be four hundred or five hun
dred tons burden. The bottom was sheath
ed with yellow metal, and from the ap-
pearance of her stern Captain Spooner
Judged her to have been screw steamer.
She had apparently been only short time
in this condition. As but small portion
of her hull was visible, nothing further
could be learned as to her identity. The
only ocean steamer missing that we are
aware of is the British steamer United
Kingdom, which left New York on the
10Th of April for Glasgow, and has not
been heard of since; but the above des-
cription can hardly be applied to her, as
she was an iron propeller of much larger
tonnage. The United Kingdom belonged
to the Anchor line of steamers running
between New York and Glasgow, and was

whann's Raw-Bone super Phosphate.


a party of gentlemen from this vicinity
visited the extensive manufacturing estab-
iishment of Walton, Whann L. Co. near
Wilmington. on Thursday last. The party
we're conveyed from the city to the factory
by the Propeller Falcon, and were accom-
panied by Charles Richardson, Esq. one
OF the proprietors, and by Francis N.
Buck, Esq. and DIR. G. Elton Buck, Chem
ist Of the establishment. They were po-
litcly conducted through the factory, and
witnessed every part of the process of man
ufacturing the Phosphate, from the prep
aration and grinding of the bones and pull
verizing the guano, to the mingling of all
the ingredients and the filing and weigh
ing Of the sacks. The process was an in
teresting one, and altogether a novelty to
the party. We had no conception of the
extent OF the works, or of the amount of
labor and capital employed, until we visi-
'ed the establishment. A large amount
OF costly machinery is employed, as well
as large number of hands. About thir-
ty tons per day arc manufactured. 1t is
the aim of the Company to keep their
Phosphate up to the proper standard, for
which purpose they analyze all the ingre-
dients which enter into it. DIR. Buck also
analyses all the phosphates which are man
ufacturcd in other establishments and keeps
an accurate account of the same. Whann's
Raw Bone Super Phosphate is extending
its reputation everywhere. One order
alone from Augusta, Ga. calls for 5000
tons. Wherever it has been used in this
part of Delaware, it has given the greatest
satisfaction, Mr.. E. T. Evans, the agent
at this place, expects to sell greatly in
creased quantity of it the next season.
When the party had grati6ed their Gu
riosity they returned to the city on the
Falcon, and about 2 o'clock sat down to a
sumptuous dinner at the Indian Queen,
Chr. Richardson presiding to which am
pie justice was done, as the appetites of
the party were duly whetted by the
morning excursion. After having been
most handsomely and Hospitality enter
tanned the party took leave of their hosts,
and prepared to return, having spent the
day most agreeably.

The VIRGINIA ELECTION result
OF Tuesdays election is the success Of
Walker by 10000 majority, and a joint
ballot majority of about 40 in the Legis-
lature, securing two conservative United
States Senators. The Philadelphia Age
says:
The result in Virginia has more Of
promise in it of peace to the country than
any political event that has happened for
some years. 1t shows the fruitlessness of
the Radical effort to govern the South by
means of the negro-an effort which has
postponed reconstruction, has begot new
prescriptions, has continued military in
teryention, and cost an incalcuable sum to
the people both in actual expenditure and
in the depression of productive industry.
All the villainous appliances by which
Radicalism has tried to make black mi
nority the masters of the white majority,
have failed. The infinite oppression and
injustice practiced to this end would fill a
volume
