Ice PIERS AT THE MOUTH OF THE
CHRIsTIANA.-The City Council last
night passed resolutions which call the
attention of the Delaware Senators and
Representative in Congress, to the neces-
sity of building ice piers on the Della
ware River at the mouth OF the Christi
ana River.
The Council have acted very wisely in
this matter, and our citizens ought to sus-
tain them in this effort.
Ice piers have been placed at aim ost
every harbor on the Delaware above
Delaware City except at Wilmington
Large numbers of vessels make for the
Christiana in time of storms. We are
told that more vessels take refuge in the
mouth of the Christiana than at any
other place. The Christiana light house
at the mouth of that river enabled them
for many years to enter without difficult
ty. But as shown by the survey made
under the direction of the City Council
the sand bar and mud flats have accu-
mulated each side of the channel of the
Christiana near the mouth until shoal
water extends one thousand feet into the
Delaware, rendering the entrance to the
Christiana much more difficult for
steamboats, and all vessels.
A couple Of ice piers each side of the
mouth Of the Christiana in such a posi-
tion rs they could be approached by YES
sells coming up the river, as at New Cas-
tie: Hook and Chester, would be of i'm
mense value to the commerce on the
Delaware, and tend to relieve the diff
Guilty Of getting into the mouth of the
Christiana, and at the same time form
an excellent ice harbor right under the
light from the Christiana light house.
Mr.. McGlinchey, the chairman of the
Council committee, and the City Engi-
neer, Mr.. Conwell, deserve credit for
their efforts. The engineer has made
an excellent map of the mouth of the
NhAAoeiohoJ SHO"hS ehO oauu DdT anu
mud fats and soundings at the mouth Of
the stream and surroundings near the
entrance, as well as the depth of water
in the channel Of the Christiana river
as far as all the ship yards, including that
of Pusey, Jones & Co., to Market street
bridge, and within almost two hundred
yards Of the extensive iron ship yard o.
the Harlan g. Hollingsworth Company
More iron ships bave been built at thi.
city on the Christiana, than at any othel
place in the United States, and less has
been done for it than for any other city

States than any other Congressional

Who Here the Secesstonfsts

The West Chester Republican having
INDUCED in the pet Radical assertion
that all Democrats were secessionists,
the Democrat, of the same place, closes
a lively reply with the following clinch-
ing paragraph:
And who started the idea of seces-
sion? Who started the Dorr war in
Rhode Island, and threatened to secede
because certain rights could not be had |?
Who threatened in Massachusetts to Sc
cede from the Unionp Who threw the
Constitution out of The window in Hart
ford, Conn., Who attempted to estab-
lsh the Southwestern Confederacy
Was it Aaron Burr, or some Democrat !?
Who stirred up the whiskey riots in
Pennsylvania Answer these questions,
and then tell us who were the fathers of
secession. We pause for a reply.

On March (new style) there will be
celebrated at St. Petersburg, with great
pomp, the anniversary of the accession of
the Emperor Alexander to the throne of
all the Russias. The reason why a pro-
gramme of unusual display is expected
on the occasion is because the day is that
of the Cars half jubilee or twenty-fiith
anniversary of his succeeding his father,
the late Emperor Nicholas. To render
The ceremonies all the more imposing.
nearly all the members of the imperial
family will be assembled together, and
the Christian princes of the Balkan
+ Peninsula will be among the number of
guests bidden to st. Petersburg. The Kin
of Greece is also expected, the Prince of
Montenegro, too, andtbeir consorts, it is
thought, will accompany them. 1t is
r1mored that the opportunity will be
taken for the formal betrothal of Prince
Alexander of Bulgaria to a Russian
princess. =
In the Democratic caucus of the Missis-
sippi Legislature an adjournment was
taken after four ballots, with no definite
change from previous results. 1t is
thought no nomination will be made by
