GENERAL GRANT AT SAN FRANCIsco.-The reception
OF General Grant at San Francisco on Saturday last
was a remarkable one. II carries the Imagination
PACK TO the times when the Keman conquerors came
from the ends of the earth. surrounded by the evil
denees OF victory to give to the swarmng streets of
tne imperial City holiday full of pride and exulta-
tion But the long march of the American soldier
mas been peaceful one The spOils of his bloodess
campaign have been those of goodwill and the
memories of many hespitalites in far distant lands
We hardly knew how famous our General was until
many people who cared little for his political honors
testified their admiration of him as military genius
IL may be said without much danger of mistake that
the honors paid to General Grant in Eur0pe and Asia
anticipate the verdict of history and the opinions of
iuture generations. In those quarters of the world
little was known of his civil administration and that
little was hardly known with accuracy But the
story OF military achievements travels fast and travels
tar Even while he was making history in the field
the world following the report Of his operations and
reading with eagerness the bulletins his victories
the hrSt brilliant success at Fort DonelSOn which
made MIN MajOr-General of Volunteers: the prO-
longed and triumphant siege of Vicksburg which
made him Major General of the regular Army the
battle OF Chattanooga, which made him Lieutenant.
General and Commander-in-Chief of the Armies of
the United States and master of the movements of
OOOOO soldiers: the siege of Petersburg the engage
ment at Five Forks, the surrender of Lee and the
definite conclusion of the war, which made him
PRESIDENT of the United States We suspect that i'm
this bit of condensed history lies the secret of the en-
thusiasm displayed at San Francisco on Saturday
certainly in this lies the secret of the foreign hOnors
paid to General Grant

fence has been down since the Spring, and the
graves exposed to the depredations of what
ever pleilsed from the public highway. On
Saturday night last the police captured and

Am Accident.

On Friday evening last Moses Price in
company with a friend, after picking a basket
of the choice peaches for which his farm is
famous, started for this town with the basket OF
fruit on the hinder part of the carriage. On
the way the horse took fright and bolted off at
q fearful rate, running against passing cow,
breaking the carriage and strewing the fruit
along the road. The horse ran n half mile
before he could be arrested, fortunately with
out any injury to either of the occupants.
After bringing him down they footed it home
leading their refractory animal and leaving
the broken carriage behind. Not the Least
unfortunate part of this nishap was the loss OF
the peaches. They were picked for and were
on their way to the Editorial Sanctuna and Il
was too inglorious an end for them to be scat.
tered in the dust for swine to feed upon. Such
fruit, as it was the close of the season, could
not be replaced and we join with Mr.. P. in
regretting the unfortunate occurrence.

The MI. Il. Church.

We announced some two months ago that
the entire debt of $40, 600 on the NJ. Z. Church
of this town had been liquidated. This an
nouncement was unofficial. We now have
the satisfaction of stating that the Trustees in
their official report to the Quarterly Confer
ence, held on Friday last, (the first one held
since the announcement above referred toy
made the statement that every dollar OF the
subscription had been settled in full and that
the entire debt had been cancelled, not one
dollar of Indebtedness now remaining against
the church. As before stated, this money was
all paid by persons of the congregation. OF
course the lifting of this debt which had
looked too formidable for several years to take
hold of was and is matter of great gratifica-
ton, especially as it seemed so easy when the
resolution was once formed to do it. The ex-
perience of one Ofthe members in the quarterly
Love Feast very appropriately expressed the
feelings OF many more than himself He
said =" On this love-feast morning feel very
grateful for all the Lord has done for us this
summer. Every heart in this meeting should
be bursting with gratitude and praise it seems
to me there is not rejoicing enough. In the

Phosphate Factory.

The enterprise of A. Lee Cummins in
launching into the manufacture of Phosphate,
commenced one year ago is rapidly enlarging
into an important establishment. 1t was com
menced in a small way at Smyrna Landing,
but for better railroad facilities he concluded
to change his base and bought land last Spring
near Clayton, at the junction ofthe Delaware &
Chesapeak and Delaware railroads, and cree
ted thereon a building 60x30 with an
engine house attached in which was placed an
engine Of Is horse and boiler % horse power.
There was also erected near this building a
neat little office and shed building for the
protection of the unmanufactured stock from
the weather. Mr.. @. soon found himself
Strengthened for room, and during this month
has erected an annex 40x48 feet and this is to
be followed by another annex on the op-
posite side 42x68 feet in dimension. Mr.. G. is
now running a force of II hands, and his
manufacture this season will exceed 500 tons.
The value that phosphates have been to our
agricultural products is inealeulable, and il
gives us pleasure to record the successes of our
local manufacturing enterprises.
