We understand two of our citizens have
bought land on Iron Hill with the intention of
opening pit and taking out ore. We hear of
more parties wanting to sell land to enterprising
men that wish to open ore pits. Come, on, gen
tlemen plenty of land, plenty of iron, plenty of
hands.
The cry for rain that we heard 30 much of,
only few days ago. has now entirely ceased.
The boot is on the other foot, and feels damp
at that-and all we hear at present is: We wish
it would stop raining. So you ses we are oon-
servative in regard to weather; we do not like
extremes either in its being too wet or too dry.
Yesterday we had what should be the clearing
up shower, for while, 1t rained in torrents,
flooding the streets in very short space of
time
The farmers have been getting ready for
work. For some time the ground was 80 very
dry they could not plow.
We have not heard of auy damage being done
hereabouts by the rain.
q. Newark has started whistling band. We
heard them practicing on the streets last eve
ming. OF course it being Sunday it should have
been sacred music, but then it was so composed
or 30 performed-one could march to it the
same as any other tune.
This morning. Newark is much pleased. We
have bright sunshine and very pleasant weather.

On saturday afternoon, at Providence, large
meeting of manufacturers was held in the Board
of Trade rooms for the purpose of conference
upon the subject of the depressed state of the
market for cotton and woollen goods. 1t seemed
to be generally agreed that unless the product
ION of goods was diminished and an enhance
ment OF prices obtained it would soon be neces-
sary to stop the mills altogether to prevent the
impovershment of their owners. resolution
IN accordance with this idea was adopted, and a
committee appointed to confer with manufac-
nrers generally on the subject
According to dispatch from Springfield, the

dnced twenty per cent, after the lat of October.

Ehe Tennessee Murders.

DISPATCHES BETWEEN GOVERNOR Brown AND THE
iRrsIpENT-THE GOVERNOR WILL KEEP PEACE
SENATOR BRowNIow COMPLIMENTS HIM.
On Friday afternoon, Governor John O. Brown,
OF Tennessee, sent long telegram to President
Grant, reciting the facts of the murder at Tren-
ton. OH the night of August 25, of the sixteen
eolored prisoners, and alleging that the State
officers had used the utmost diligence in detec-
ing and arresting the murders. He says:
tThe State authorities manifested tho most
earnest desire to enforce the law against the
guilty parties. and have demonstrated by these
indictments and arrests, not only their DISPOSE
ton but ability to enforce the lay and protect
all citizens without regard to race, color, or pre-
yious condition of aervitude. These efforts.
can assure you, will in no sense be relaxed until
the majesty of the law is fully vindicated."
The Governors dispatch after these prelimi-
nary allegations, objects to tho proceedings ta-
ken by the United States authorities, in also ar
resting Dersons for the same or similar offences.
To this the President replied that no special Or
der had been given the U. :. officers to take tho
steps which the Governor mentions, but that
It was legally their duty to enforce the laws,
which have, AZ in counterfeiting, concurrent au-
thority with those OF the State over the alleged
criminals. He adds:
al will state however, that it is very gratify-
ing to know that the State authorities of Ten
neaAee are disposed to suppress and punish a
class of lawless acts 30 dangerous to life, and
30 opposed to every political, financial, and NOR
al interest of the State"
Senator Brounlow, of Tennessee, who is at his
home in Knoxville, has sent the following letter
10 Governor Brown
II cannot refrain from expressing my thanks
tor the energetic steps you are taking for the
preservation Of peace and the apprehension and
punishment Of tho assassins who have 80 much
outraged humanity and discredited the State.
The prumptness with which you have acted vim
dicates you from anyimputation of acting under
Federal constraint or want of earnestness.
hope your efforts may soon be crowned by the
full vindcatlon of the law

Especial to the Commercially
SMYRNA, Sept. 2l.
The Democracy of this countysheld their Hun
dred meetings on Saturday, to elect delegates to
their county convention to be held hext Thurs
day at Dover, and also to nominate Inspectors
and Assessors. As usual with them, there was
quite scramble for the various places. Office
is what they all want, no matter how small the
compensation. They care but little for the in
terests of the dear people so they get a chance
to handle their money wrung from them in the
shape OF taxes, a good portion of which they
generally manage to put into their own pockets.
A few years since, the Levy Court of this coun-
ty, appointed b. A. Smith, collector of county
rates for this Hundred, who, during the two
years OF his official career, was charged with be-
ing defaulter in payment to the county Treas
urer of taxes collected by him OF about $4,000.
This same man was nominated ON Saturday by
the honest Democracy of Duck Creek Hundred,
for Assessor. Now talk about corruption
Much interest is felt in this locality III the sue
cess of the fair to be held at Middletown, where
it is understood there will bel fine display of

The bombay Hook H. n. sale. -

WHAT THE PURCHASERS PRoPosE-A GENERAL. pUB-
iIo DESIRE TO OBTAIN PASSES, PROMPTLY.
The purchase by the American Dredging Co. of
the Bombay Hook, II. r. will not result in any i'm
mediate change in the present quiescent eondi-
tion of the road No conference has yet been
held to consider the best disposition to make of
it, and the sale lacks ratification by the Court.
Primarily the object of the purchasers in buying
the road was to secure their claim against it, and
they will bo willing, after the ratification of the
sale, which will probably take place in October,
to dispose of it to other parties for an amount
which will make them whole in the transaction /;
but it must not be inferred from this Willingness
to dispose of the road that the American Dredg-
ing Co. will decline to operate it. They are COM
mitted to no policy, as yet.
A deep interest Is felt in the future of the road
about Smyrna and elsewhere along the line, as
was evidenced on the day of the sale by the
rapidity with which applications for passes were
received. There are said to be u great many
people in that section who are anxious for a free
ride to New York--to Bombay Hook-anywhere
so vigorous competition may be kept mp with
the Delaware r. r.
FURTHER DETAILs-THE FUTURE possIBITIEs OF
CONSOLIDATED LINE.
Especial to the Commmercial.l
SMYRNA, Sept ~.
lOur correspondent, after giving the facts of
the sale, says j
Jay Gould's agent, who was present, did
not manifest much interest i'll the sale of
the road, only bidding believe, about 1856. 900.
1t is not known what will be eventually done
with the road, and there is but very little specn-
lation lndulged in as to its future cond-
ton, but 1 think there is but little
room to doubt that it will be put in run
ming order and operated next spring. Should
the Maryland and Delaware, the Kent county,
and the Queen Anne's roads. together with the
SMYRNA and Delaware Bay Railroad consolidate,
and run passengers and freight to Bombay Hook
thence by fast steamers to both Philadelphia
and New York, 1 have but little doubt those
roads might be made profitable, they would
that go from along the line Of these roads now,
by the Delaware Railroad, and that road would
be compelled to reduce both freight and passen-
ger charges or run empty cars.
