RARTTAN BAY AND NlNELAND kAlLhOADo-
THE PEACH-GROwING INTEREsT-HEED OF A
RAILROAD DIRECT TO NETWORK.
SMYRNA, DEL, June 27.-MR. EDITOR: we
have read in the State OF Delaware the communication
to your paper giving account of the proposed air line
railroad to this place and through the heart OF tho peach
region with the greatest degree Of interest 1t appeals to
the pocket OF every in the State Of Delaware to be
relieved from tho existing state OF things and to have
direct railroad to New-YOrk.
We will pay railroads this year over half million OF
dollars to move our peach crop and compelled to sub
mt to the exorbtan rates This peach crop has TO
20 by the way Of Philadelphia and the Camden and Am
boy route whereas II the proposed line Of the Vlneiand
Railroad via the Delaware and Rarian Bay Road was
built we could ship this immense TO New York d.
rect The peach only crop but we raise great
crops Of other fruit and the cereals consisting OF wheat
corn and buckwheat, also large quantities OF poultry
and stock At the present most OF our merchants trade
with Philadelphia when the proposed railroad Is once
built we can trade with NewYork. The same may be
said OF great portion Of Maryland especially the East
ern Shore The completion OF the road will add millions
TO the trade OF the City Of New York well as to the
yaue OF property in the State OF Delaware The amount
OF business that will go the RAILROAD Will be immense
the true extent OF which estimate unless he
is acquainted with our country. Uniting the Delaware
and Raran Bay Railroad. the Yineland Railroad,
the Smyrna Road and the railroad to Oxford as suggest
ed is a grand idea 1t will form trunk line to New
York and will command much business as can posi-
bly, carry. DELAWARE

Wants the Country Divided.

4 correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer has seen and held conversation with
the Father Of His Son. Jesse Grant BY
name. The refectively distinguished gen
tleman was quite yoluble and somewhat
original in his opinions of men, things and
politics. One portion Of the reported con-
versation arrested our attention, and we
copy it below. 1t will be observed that
the venerable progenitor Of the President
entertains a reasonable desire to divide
the country, and is an enemy to annexation.
We quote as follows:
Reporter-The President must lfavc a
busy time Of it, and great deal OF care,
with al the perplexing questions of recon
struction, Alabama Gains, Cuban annex
alton, etc. What does the President
think Of Cuban annexation
Presidents Father-I don't know what
he thinks, but I'm opposed to it. I'm
opposed to all annexations. Twas opposed
to the annexation of Texas, Oregon. Alas
ka, California and all others. We have
too much territory now. There are too
many differences of opinion and interests
in large territories.
i'll had my way. and it could be peace
ably done, I'd divide the country into
two separate nations. 1t would be better
for both. I'd draw line from the eastern
border Of Texas to Alaska, and p1t all
west Of that under a separate Government.
I'd have treaties of amity and commerce
between the two nations like those between
the States, ard free trade, or pretty near
so. The people would live more peace
ably and be more happy.
The Western nation could take Mexico
and all South Of that. and the Eastern
take Canada. Canada is bound to be ours
any way. some day, but We don't wan.
Cuba or Mexico.
