THANKsaIvING DAY, yesterday, was
very generally observed; and our peo-
pie enjoyed themselves much as on
former occasions. Each year seems to
make the holiday more popular, until
it has become to be kept almost as
general as Christmas. In Delaware
it's annual observance commenced
about thirty years ago; but in New

GOING AHEAD.-Our little neignbor,
Chester, situated half way between
us and Philadelphia, seems to
rush ahead in defiance of time, tide
and adverse winds of fortune. Since
1873 Chester has never paused. In
fact the very hard times, seemed to
push the dcnizens of Philadelphia and
New York out; and as good luck
would have it such men as manage
the Simpsons Print Works, and John
Roach, saw in Chester the bes. loca-
lion for their future operations, The
Print Works at Eddystone turns
out million and half yards OF
printed cloth a week, and is snug
little village with fine public school,
chapel and library. These works
might have been started in Whining
ton and no doubt would have been
had there been no state line. But
there were other causes to keep them
away. There were no farms on oul
borders that could be bought by the
acre nearly all the lands adjoining
us having been bought up for specu-
lation to be doled out by the foot il
small lots. This thing has operated
very much to retard Wilmington
on every side. We had hoped there
was an end of it. But we are tolC
that John Roach has not done d.
much for Chester as some other one
rators-Simpson's Print Works beinl
one, and score or so of large cottor
and woolen mills are of far more value
giving steady work and good wages
SO much for what has been done 70
Chester because large tracts of Ian,
could be bought by the acre with Ian

that it will take million dollars 1

1t has been said that blast furnac.

belongs to the Tide-water Pipe Line
Company. Its oil reservoir will have
a capacity of 1870, 0U0 gallons. A cor.
respondent says "a few years ago such
refinery would haN been large
enough TO take the whole production
of the oil regions, but this one is
only an outside competitor of that
monster, the Standard Oil Company,
which aims to control the whole
business so the oil producers say"
What pity it is that Wilmington
has no land to offer at low price per
acre for such purposes. There is
plenty of water front. But it is all
in the hands of monopolists who hold
1t at very high figure per acre.
From the Eleventh street bridge to
the Shellpot where it unites with the
Brandywine are some choice places
for large works with railroad and
water carriage convenient and it
seems pity that they are not looked
after. But the general opinion pre-
vails.that all this land and many acres
from the Brandywine to the Delaware
are all in the hands of a landed
monopoly. But this is not true.
The Pulp Works has shown what
may be done ON marsh land and
there is no better place for manufac-
turing operations anywhere than the
marsh on the east of our city and
also in South Wilmington on the
Christiana. Lots here may be bought
cheap and on long credit and the
wonder is that this ground, with such
facilities for markets, is not covered
with such works as are going into
operation in Chester.
There are still few lots along the
p, W. IL b. X. II. east of the city, in
the market for sale, that would be
equally as desirable for industrial
works, as is the land along this road
from the foot of Fourth street TO the
Brandywine, all of which is now
covered with buildings or held at
about $50 to $40 foot. 1t is not
probable that Messrs. Bowers * Dure's 5

while other works must be built on

striding the fields by the mile while
Wilmington neliberates whether the
price per acre offered is not too low.

FRIsDAY. NOVEMBER ae. 1850.
ANOTHER MICRO EMIGRATION frol

ANOTHER MICRO EMIGRATION from
the South is talked of, and some Of
the Republican newspapers say it has
already commenced. They pretend to
deprec4te the movement and the loss
of labor in the cotton fields where al
ready it is said the Southern planters
have lost considerable by not being
able to have the staple gathered as
rapidly as it should be. There is two
ways of looking at this matter. While
it will no doubt carry off some of the
negro population from the climate and
homes to which they are accustomed
to others that will not be as agreeable,
their places will doubtless be filled
with other laborers who will prove
quite as valuable.
But what is to be the effect upon the
market? Will cotton not go up in
price because of the failure to gather
itp Certainly it will unless the yield
has been more than will supply the de-
mand; the loss, therefore, occasioned
by the negro emigration will fall di
rectly upon the consumer through the
increase Of price of cotton fabrics.-
Whether the negro emigrlnts to the
North will interfere with the laboring
population is another matter to con
slider. There is no way to stop this
course so long as the Republican par
izans incourage it. And they will no
doubt continue to encourage it so long
as they hnd they can carry Congress

1T is now proposed that those who
have ponds on their farms shall raise
their own fish. German carp are re
commended as being the best for table
use, and it is said that they can be fed
with the refuse of the kitchen and
will prove cheaper food than pork
Whether fish from ponds will be con
sidered as great delicacy as those
caught in running brooks may be a
matter Of taste to be determined in
some measure by the condition in
which the ponds are kept. There is
nothing like trying and hence those
who have ponds favorably situated
ought to take an interest in the mat
ter.
