PRESIDENT PEIxOTo has organized
two naval divisions, one at Bahia and
another in the south. The main
strength of the force will consist of the
Tiradentes, which is now lying at
MontevideO, whose commander has
protested his loyalty to the Brazilian
President. Although the combined
loyal feet would scarcely be able to
cope with Admiral Mello's force single
handed, the latter might not be able to
long maintain himself under a cross
fire from PeixOto's forts and ships. One
might be inclined to hope that such a
conclusion of this exceedingly foolish
war should speedily follow. After all
PeixotO, as the constitutional President
deserves our sympathies rather than
Mello. The triumph of a revolutionary
faction, whose cause of rebellion is an.
parently trivial, would scarcely be con.
ducive to the perpetuation of govern.
ment by law in the Brazilian Republic.

Il Peninsula Road.-Sa1isbury Md.
Oct. 4.-The business men and farmers
OF the peninsula continue to take in.
terest in the subject of building a
branch railroad of the Baltimore and
Ohio system from Elkton down through
the Eastern Shore counties. It ia
urged that now is the time for the
meets.
State Senator E. Stanley Toadvin
says; "A competing line is becoming
more necessary than ever before. The
farmers and truckers have been taught
the use of railroads, and have 0one
very extensively into the business of
raising fruits and vegetables of every
description, their only outlet for the
Shipment of which is the Pennsylyapia
ana Delaware Railroads. The past
season the railroads took advantage of
the large crops to put up rates that
are almost prohibitory, and lower rates
or competing line must come or the
business will have to be abandoned
A connection with the Baltimore and
OHIO is especially desirable, as it we'll
give, growers a quick outlet to the
markets of the North and West. am
heartily in favor of such a proiect.D
