The Car SHOP ENTERpR1sE.-Thef follow
ing delegation, acting under the Jefferson
County Industrial Society, left for Baltimore
on the accommodation train yesterday morn>
ing, viz: Col r. p Chew, NJ ayor of Charles
town, Maj. G. w. T. Kearsley, and Messrs. d.
B. Lucas, II. B. Davenport and Henry Stout
fer, Esqs.
The objee. of the delegation is to confer
with and lay before the President of the B..
& o. r. R. Company, or other parties, the
proposition for tho establishment of car fac-
tory brother manufacturing enterprise in our
midst, upon which action was taken by our
people recently, and an appropriation Of s1o,>
600 by the town offered. The delegation
took with them complete typographical map
of the different locations for mandatory
adjoining CharlestoWn, and it is understood
that the owners of the lands surveyed have
literally agreed to donate ten acres ofground
toward such an enterprise as the one spoken
Of In addition to this a number of our citi>
zens have expressed willingness to subscribe
to stock in large manufactory such as is
proposed, and it is believed that five or per-
haps ten thousand dollars can be raised il this
way, if necessary. Altogetthesr, we may ven>
.ure to say that whatever corporation orsin-
dividual may embark in the euterise will be
met with with spirit of lberality on the
part of our people; aud whether the prcpo-
sition now offered is accepted BY the B. & o.
r. r. Co. or not, we feel confident that, if
properly laid before leaaihss northern manu-
facturers, the enterprise cannot fail to be sue
cess. In the meantime we await the results
of the visit of this delegation, and expect to
lay before our readers next week, important
information in regard to their operations.
SUMNER REcREArIoN-As the heated
term is now advancing we deem this an ap-
propriate occasion to call tho attention of our
distant city and moro Southern readers to the
adaptabil'sF Of Charlestown as place of en-
joyment and relaxation from the heat and
hustle of the great cities during the summer
months. Situated in the heart of as beau~
tiful and healthy an area Of cotntry as the
eye of man ever looked upon; with two
large, first, class hotels. besides comfortable
aud pleasant boarding houses, furnishing
ample accoii, modations for large number of
visitors; with population just large enough
to give life and animation to the place, and
yet not so large as disturb the sojourner by
the constant agitation and petty aunoyances
of larger places within short distance Of
the Shanondnle Springs, the waters of which
are justly celebrated for their valuable medici-
nal properties within half -hbur's ride of
Harper's Ferry, with its beautiful and varied
natural scenery its market constantly sup
piled with all the Injuries of the season and
on one of the great principal railroad lines
of the Country, therefore in constant COM
munication by travel, mail aud telegraph,
with the outside world Charlestown, we may
say, offers inducements cGoelcd By no country
town in the land, to those who prefer to spend
a few weeks in a rural town rather than be
annoyed with the constan. fash of excitement
incident to otir large fashionable sattimer re-
sorts. No summer season, for years, has
failed to bring to our town a number of WISH
tors from distance. and we trust that this
year we may have the pfeast.re of welcoming
to our midst greater number than in any
preceding year. a cordisl hospitality is en-
.sured to all who may come.
