A Proper Enterprise.

We understand that the Howard Bros,
the managers of the Chapel Point resort, have
made 4 proposition to the B l. 7. railroad CON-
pany to extend its road to the above point, as
river terminus, and that the company have tie
matter under serious consideration. 1t is said
that, If the company h d depot Mt The Point,
it has some assurances that it would obtain
considerable freight from on the Virginia side
of the river and that it would otherwise in
crease its trade. In this connection il has been
suggested TO US by a gentleman who has given
the matter isome consideration, that the proper
route for the company TO reach Chapel Point,
if it conclude to make such An extension, would
be by projecting branch from about bite
Plains or Young Switch and extending il
down Port Tobacco valley, taking our town in
its route, to the above named terminus. This
&c ntleman forclby Suggests that this route
would entail bur little, if any, more expense
upon the company than to extend branch
from Cox's Station to the Point, as proposed
by the Messrs Howard because the heavy and
expensive grading which would be required 10
effect route from Cox's would be entirely
avoided by the route proposed. The amount
saved in grading would, he thinks, be nearly,
if not quite sufficient 10 pay for the three or
four miles of additional road made necesssry
by the Port Tobacco route, while the sdvant-
ages which would accrue 10 the company from
this route would be of considerable Importance
The company would ia that way have its road
down the picturesque and fertile Port Tobacco
valley instead of the monotouous and sterile
belt of country that it now traverses, thus max
i.ga pleasing impression upon the visiting
passengers; in the next place it would draw
trade from an extensive and rich telt # country
in Pomonkey and Hill Tor districts, which now
transports its produce by the river and. last
but not least, il would have its road running
through The county town, " lch would Tcsu I
il many mutual advantages 10 both the county
town and the railroad company. We fully
concur in these excellent suggestions and We
hope the proper steps will be taken TO brn.
this matter to the atten tioa OF the company
it is now clearly seen that this is the route the
road should orig inally have taken, and ii Is not
now by any meaIs too late TO remedy The
mistake.

For Naval officer.
The Baltimore Am. rirJn of IA rec, Ut date
refers to The candidacy OF ON tner cite county
man, Samuel Cox, Esq f.r lie position OF
Naval Officer at the port .! B.ltiu,orc. For
the most par, the article III question speaks in
quite complmt utary terms o. Mr.. Cox, tut, as
usual, it docs not wind up wi;hou some pre-
varications. 1t says hat Mr. Cox asis his
claim 10 the Office upon The fact that he is from
the same county as the resent mount ent, DR..
Wilmer, and that, though heretofore rigorous
~ opposed 10 Hon. B rms Compton politically,
e is now depending n that gent!eman's sup
OF for the Office. We can say of our own
kn Wedge that Mr. Cox does not base his ap
picaton for life fife upon any geograp hical
considerations whatever, but entirely upon his
merit as an active Democrat. With regard to
the statement rs 10 Mr.. Cox's political hostility
10 Mr. Compton, that is also incorrect. Mr.
Cox though rigorous Hamilton man, has
never really antagonized Mr. Compton political
l.. The FIRST time Mr.. Compton has been be-
fore the people since Mr.. Cox has been an actor
on the political stage was last fall and then
Mr.. Cox among his most vigorous sup
porters.
At the meeting Of the Democratic c. ntral
Committee on Tuesday, during the temporary
absence of Mr. Samuel Cox, Messrs VIM. II
Gray and F N. Cox, the other members of the
committee adopted resolution warmly com
III nding their associate, Samuel Cox, Esq
or the position Ct Naval Officer for which he i.
IN applicant, We are glad to learn that Mr.
Coxs chances for appoin ment considered
good.

Slight Fire
tout half past seven o clock on Monday
evening FIRE was discovered in the coal house
Of Mr.. Hugh Mitchell, at Linden and as
considerable wind was blowing at the time The
whole was soon in flames. The house was
small and by strenuous efforts on the part of
Mr. Mitchell and his farm hands the FIRE was
kept from spreading and the burning planks
were e1tnguishrd before it had time 10 catch
the coal that was stored way in the house
The fire is supposed 10 have orig mated from
some hot ashes which had been been thrown
near the coal shed, and as the shed was but a
short distance from the dwelling considerable
alarm was felt for its safety. No damage was
sustained, however, further than destroying OF
the coal house where the fire originated.

Grants Position.
The Nelr YnrL. WnrllE.

From the Nelo York World.
Gen. Grant has written letter to Mr.. Cyrus
W. Field declining the money rendered by
private friends to enable him to meet the judg-
ment obtained against him by William FL.
Vanderbilt for 100000.
Gen. Grant says 81 appreciate both the
motive and the friendship which have dictated
this course on your part, but, on mature re-
Election, l regard it as due to myself and fam
lily to decline this profered generosity.
Although unwilling to put an obstacle in
the way of the contemplated relief, we saw
from the beginning of the movement that it
would not accomplish the excellent purpose
for which it was intended, which was to save
the Generals personal property from sale
under an execution. If the money had been
raised it would only have been for the benefit
of Mr.. Vanderbilt, who shrewdly offered to
throw off $50. 900 of doubtful debt and to
give a receipt in full if he could get 100000
in cash down.
1t is questionable whether Mr.. Vanderbilt S
judgment is of any value, except as an evil
dence of Indebtedness, because it was obtain
ed after the bankruptcy of Grant q Ward, by
consent, and cannot deprive the other oredi-
tors of their rights or take the position of a
preferred claim.
Brother Field now proposes that General
Grant shall again be put into active service
and made the head of the Army, with the re-
stored rank of General.
1t is unjust to the people of the United
States to insinuate that they have failed to
honor and reward Gen. Grant. 1t is disinge
nous to represent Gen. Grants condition as
deplorable. The General has an income of
900 yearly which cannot be impaired.
Mrs. Grant has houses and property in her
own right, exempt from execution for her
husbands debts The children of the Gen
eral are all married to wealth, and are no
charge upon him. We wish that every de-
serving man in the country was half as well
provided for, and that the creditors of Grant
& Ward firm were as free from peeuniary
want as its senior partner is to-day.
