IMpRovEMENTs.-Improvements have
been progressing in Wilmington at a
rapid rate for the past six months. we
doubt if there were ever so many houses
pot under contract here in the same time
Is in the last three months. New houses
are being erected in every quarter OF the
city; at the same time large number
of improvements are being made to old
properties, giving employment 70 all the
carpenters in the city. Brlcklayers,
plssterers, carpenters and plumbers were
never more busy. The dry weather has
caused feeling Of dread to the farmers
and we fear it will prove destructive to
much of the wheat that has been sown,
and has also thrown many men out Of
work in mills that have bad to shut
down for lack of water. But it has en-
abled house builders, ship carpenters ano
many other trades to advance with tbeil
work with scarce days loss of time.

AN IMPORTANT DECIsoN.- The Su-
preme Court yesterday affirmed the le-
gslity of the "Thurman act" requiiing
the Pacific railroads 10 prepare to meet
their obligations to the government and
pay the interest and principal OF the
debts due the United States. The ma
jority of the Court affitms the legally Of
the act while Associate Justices Bradley,
Strong and Field dissent.
In a brief comment upon the action of
the Comt the World says :-"It would
have been a public calamity if such a
bill, intended TO bring the Pacific rail-
roads to book aud to force them 10 make
provision for the discharge Of the debts
created by their cha Leis, had either
failed OF enactment or been made in
efiectual by a judicial decision. 1t
would have been far greater public
calamity if the belief could have put
about even among stock ;jobbers that the
fluctuations of the stock market coult
have any effect whatever upon The de
liberations of the Supreme Court of tn
Uni.ed States. The short and clea
opinion of that Court, delivered by TN
Chief-Justice, seems to dispose of al
the evil possibilities and to settle th
questions involved-if there eau be sal
to have been any question involved eS
cept the desire of corporation to evad
the payment of its just debts. III
"Thurman Act" thus becomes an efiiciei
protection 10 the Government against Il
corporations which the Government or
ated and subsidized. 1t will stand
our history as an honorable memorial
its author"

DEAR SIR; Three days ago l recelv-
ed the inclosed letters under cover ad-
dressed TO me. Upon reading the first
sentence | perceived there must be some
mistake, and, turning over the leaf, saw
that the address was to Judge Black, and
| therefore return them unread. l should
have banded them to him, but have not
seen him since they were received,
aud am informed that he left here some
days ago. The dreadful disaster OF Sun
day can scarcely be mentioned. The
imbecility of this Administration culmi-
mated in that ca,astl ophe-an irretrieva-
BILE misfortune and national disgrace
never to be forgotten are to be added to
the ruin of all peaceful pursuits and ma
tional bankruptcy as the result OF LIN
coins drumming the machine" for hve
months. You perceive that Bennett Is
for change of the Cabinet, and pro-
poses for one of the new Cabinet MI.
Holt. 1t is not unlikely that some
change in the War and Navy Depart
ments may take place, but none beyond
these two departments until Jefferson
Davis turns out the whole concern. The
capture of Washington seems now to be
nevitable-during the whole OF Monday
and Tuesday it might have been taken
without any resistance. The rout, over
throw, aud utter demoralza ion of the
whole armyis complete Even now ldoubt
whether any serious opposition 20 The en-
trance of the Confederate forces could
be offered. While I.iucoln, Scott, aud
the Cabinet are dispuliog who is to
blame, the city is uueuarded aud the
enemy at hand. General Mcclellan
reached here last evening. But, if he
had the ability of Caesar, Alexander, OF
Napoleon, what eau he accomplish

FADING AwAY.-All the political
theories in regard to the currency OF the
country are fading away, leaving the
Democratic platform of Delaware gold
and silver, the only substantial and en-
during one for this or any other coun-
try. Gold and silver are the only legal
tenders known to the Constitution. But
nevertheless, paper securely based there
on has always been found to facilitate
trade, and hence its adoption by all the
States as q circulating medium; IL
should, however, always be kept at par
with cein and be convertible into coin
at the option of the holder. This is the
natural position and just as the country
becomes able to do so it falls into the
use of the precious metals again as dur
ing the periods anterior TO the late "un-
pleasantness."
