GENERAL TRAcYs TESTIMONY YESTERDAY HIS RE
LATIoNs WITH TILToN AND MoULToN-wHAT HE
ADVISED.
General Tracy gave his testimony III the
Beecher case to-day. The substance of his
statement was that he had had free converse
tions with plaintiff and Mr.. Moulton and other
parties, with reference to the scandal, when 1t
first before the public; that Tilton declared
to him that the charges against Mr.. Beecher
were true, at the same time, however, insisting
that his (,Tiltons) wife was pure as an angel,
,Sc, &c.
In regard to Moulton the witness said he told
him that the parties could not maintain an
armed neutrality while those papers (the letters
of confession, contrition, etc. werein existence,
and he advised him, therefore to burn them.
Gen. Tracy added: - / told him could not see
how he could be the custodian of those papers
and remain friend to both parties did not
say to them that lying would be justfabe in
such II case they did not tell me that Mrs.
Woodhuls story was essentially true, but on
the contrary, they said her story WAS essentially
false"
Gen. Tracy says he told them that the only
way to abolish and to utterly extinguish the
scandal was to burn all the documents which
they had Mr.. Tilton said he would not allow a
single document to be destroyed, for if that were
done Mr.. Beecher would turn upon him and rend
him witness told him that lie did not think 30 {;
he replied that if Mr.. Beecher did not, certain
members OF Plymouth Church would witness
advised him and Mr. Moulton TO make public
statement, and induce Mrs Tilton to do the
same, and they could then burn all the docu-
ments. MIR. Tilton again objected.
Furthermore, witness admitted that he ad-
vised Tilton to go to Europe, to stay for four or
five years, until his associations with Mrs.
Woodruff and the odlum attaching TO them,
would be forgotten.

Co.. Willard Thompson, Superintendent OF the
Eastern Shore steamboat Co; ; p. II. Clark, agent
of the latter Co., and others, were on board.
The route taken up the river and although
the distance run was short it was sufficient to
test to some extent the speed OF the steamer
The distance between the mouth of the Chris
tiana and duPont's pier, between two and three
miles, was made in ~ minutes and thirty seconds,
on the up trip, and on the down trip in ten min
utes. The speed of the boat was about fifteen
miles. Her machinery, being entirely new,
was somewhat stiff but when it has been in use
for little time the boat, will do even better
than on the trip. this morning. and will proba
bly, be able to attain the speed Of seventeen or
eighteen miles per hour. The steamer was COM
manded by Capt. Veasey, who will take her
round to Baltimore starting out with her on
Saturday next.
The 1dngtey is superbly built boat Her
main cabin is finished in hard woods her fur
niture is very rich.. ..and handsome her appoint
ments are all thorough and fcomplete and al
together she will be one of the finest as well as

ING RAILROAD.
One OF the latest rumors, says the West Ches
ter Republican, is to the effect that the Whining
ton and Reading Railroad is to be improvsed as
freight road for the Baltimore and Ohio to
New York. II the iumor should prove correct,
the cars would leave the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore railroad at Wilmington, and
upon reaching the city of Reading, be sent via
the East Pennsylvania and New Jersey Central
to New York, This route would add something
to the distance, but 1t is questionable whether It
would not be great deal cheaper than handling
the goods at Baltimore and forware ing the same
by ocean steamers. This arrangement could not
be effected without the cooperation of the Phil.

DEPARTURE OF THE TROOPS AND WHAT Is sAID Oh
T-pRoPHEoIEs OF REsuMPTIoN-ooy HAR-
TRANFT AT HAzLEToN.
Special TO the Philadelphia inquirer
HAzLEToS Pa, April %.
The departure of the First Regiment, for home
il the theme OF conversation OH every hand.
The strikers cannot conceal their Joy. They
profess to belive the withdrawal a sign OF weak
ness on the part of the operators, and the first
step toward concession OH their part. They fix the
10th of MAY as the time when work will COM
mence. And some pretend to have certain
proof OF the date mentioned.
Your correspondent has interviewed several
operators on the subject, and CLEAN from them
the following The Miners Association have
not been, since their formation. rs near dissolu-
ton now.
Several incidents Of late show that strong dis
satisfaction exists among the strikers. They
have openly accused their president of treason
and working in the interest of the operators,
and, although his course was partially in
dorsed, there is no doubt a clear ma jori-
ty are dissatisfied with him. Another
reason for resumption is that Hyde Park, Della
ware and Hudson and other colleries have re-
fused to obey the demand OF the w. b. A. to stop
work, contending that it il better for them to
continue and with the pay aid the strikers to the
extent of every cent beyond what is needed for
actual necessity.
With differences so great it is difficult to see
how any compromise between the strikers and
working members can be effected, but it is evil
dent that the question can be settled but one
way, namely for all to work. This, the operators
claim, is the reason the rumors are circulated
about resumption on May 10th.
Gov. Hartranft arrived here last night, and
will no doubt endeavor to solve the question, if
possible but up to this writing nothing definite
has been done. The annual anniversary of the
NJ. & L. b. A. occurs on the 10 of May, and it is
always accompanied by parade OF great magni-
tude Tor this reason strenuous exertions will
be made for resumption by that time.

More About Peaches.

the CROP FAILURE IN WESTERN sUssEx.
On Tuesday we published information OF fair
prospects for a good yield OF peaches in Eastern
Sussex, which information is supported by sub
sequent reports. This however did not apply to
the western side of Sussex county, away from
the Delaware Bay. and ON the waters running
towards and into Chesapeake Bay.
This morning we were shown letter from a
gentleman, large peach-grower at Concord,
Sussex county, stating that the crop there, at
Laurel and Seaford, and as far north as Green
wood, would be an entire failure, with the ex-
ception of here and there some Hale's Early. Ex-
Governor Ross, near Seaford, one of the largest
poach growers in Western Sussex, does not ex-
pect to have more than dozen crates.
