Will II Create Disease.

We are informed Ivy old inhabitants that
at the time the marsh south of town was
banked in, and an effort made to reclaim it
many years ago, that malarial fever became
frightfully prevalent SO much so, that the
citizens attrihntiug the cause to the stag
nant waters in the embarked meadows,
called upon The owner. the late General
Sewell to cut the embankment and allow
the tides to come in This he promptly did
and it is said the fevers as promptly disap-
peared ana have not to this day reappeared
in an epidemic form. AS an effort is again
being made to reclaim Il portion of This same
marsh land, the question naturally arises
what effect will it have, if any, upon the
health of the town. If it will operate in the
least in Il manner prcjudicial to the public
health, the enterprise should at once be
abandoned. We express no opinion one
way or the other, but the phase of the mat
ter should be thoroughly examined into by
the projectors OF the enterprise before pro-
cee,lng too far. II would be too late to stop
after disease had been engendercd.

The New Rail Road.

The work of grading for the new through
line of the l.. & @. Fail Road between Balti-
more and New York, upon that portion of
it which passes through this state and the
adjonging state Of Delaware, ground was
broken on Monday, and in a short time the
force at the various points will be increased,
50 as to push the work along rapidly. One
force began on the line at the point where
it diverged from the Delaware Western
track near kiamensi near Newport, Del.
Another body of men began at point near
er Wilmington, on a line with the lately
proposed route through Newport but where
il will also be on IA line with the Kiamensi
route. The commencement force will not
be large ut first but it will be increase as the
by the fact that according TO the provisions
of the charter of the road that instrument
would become null and void unless work
WAS commenced within a year from the
time the charter was granted. This time
would have expired b. the first of March,
hence the necessity for commencing immc
diate!y.
Capt. Smith gives it as his opinion that
the work On the new road will go steadily
on, and the new road soon built. Work
on the Maryland portion will commence rs
soon as the necessary charter is passed by
the Legislature.
