Victory OVER ENGLAND. -- Our
peaceful victory over England has
been overlooked in this campaign.
The silent man, whose lips have been
closed against the slanderous charges
raised against him, has quietly pros,
ecuted his labors, and relied upon
their results for complete vindica-
ton. His peaceful triumph over
England speaks volumns in itself.
England pays into our treasury oven
SIS, 100000 in gold. This is better
than fruitless war. Greeley never
refers to this triumph Of the admin
istration.

1he Peach InIerest.

WHAT THE MIBDLErOwN GROWERS PRoPOsF-A
JOINT STOCK COMPANY AND NINE MORE ALDEN
MACHINES.
The extremely low figure which peaches have
commanded, this season, has impressed the
growers with the importance of devising some
means whereby the crop may be made more re-
muneratiye. The feasibility and pro1tablene ss
OF new markets was demonstrated last wear and
has been confirmed the present season but this
alone will not suffice to consume the products of
the orchards already in bearing and the new
ones which are annually being increased. Some
thing else il necessary to be done.
A movement Is on foot among the growers
around MiddletOwn which it is believed will not
only increase and maintain better price for the
fruit, but will consume the product of the or
chards even more closely The plan is simply
this To organize joint stock company of az
many of the growers as are willing to enter the
association. said company to have absolute con-
troll and management of the crop, both as re-
lates to it's shipment to different points and the
condition in which it shall be shipped.
The plan further provides for the estab-
lirhment of nine other Alden Fru Dry
ing establishments in Mlddletown, and
the consolidation of the present one
with the others. thus giving the company con-
troll over ten. The company will assume to d.
rect the shipment Of ali peaches through a sala-
red Inspector at the station, who will examine all
the fruit brought for shipment, aud that which
lie COucblNeh 10 ub ullnt lOI lillH pulpbhb VIII
be sent to the Frui Drying establishments The
growers lose all control over the fruit after it is
landed at the depot. The association will, of
course, have a President and the necessary Off
GERS.
Such is a brief outline of the plans under
which it is proposed to organize the company,
and the extent OF the authority which is to be
delegated TO it. 1t s claimed that the low price
OF peaches this season is more attributable to
the shipment of the fruit in 100 ripe a condition
than to any other one cause and it is believed
that with an Inspector at the station the ship
ment OF such fruit could be prohibited. 1t would
all be sent TO the Fruit Drying establishments Of
the company, to be worked up there. The crop
would thus all be consumed, aud better article
| of fruit would find its way to the market.
The ten Alden Dryers would work up $500 bas-
kets OF peaches daily, instead Of $50 as at pres
ent, and at the same time stimulate IL prosper
| ity Of Middletown by giving employment to
| great number Of people.
1t ID said that the Patentee of the Alden pro-
cess has consented to erect the nine other es-
| tablishments without the payment of any mo-
ney, but il willing to accept the same in fruit.
| These terms are remarkably easy for the Fruit
| Growers.
| The movement meets with much favor among
/ the growers about Middletown, we understand,
| The larger and more prominent ones are deeply
interested in it and are urging its adoption with
| great zeal. Our informant, VINO is himself inter
| ested in the movement, says he believes it will
| be adopted.

ternoon officer Anderson received a despatch

This morning marriage license will be se-
cured and the twain united in one flesh, they
