the battle. The booming of cannon
from the ridge, and our reply from
Fort Wood and other batteries was the
prelude TO the battle--our advance made
in the face of stunning blows. step by

fronted by long lines of gray, the smoke
often hiding both lines from our view.
Gen. Grant had ordered advance to
the base of the ridge, and there to halt

linked communities, which it. really,
lis not prepared to handle. as it actu-
ally has no wharves ready for the asy
and profitable handling of such bust
ness.
As in the case also. Of the desire TO
maintain the Wilmington, Delaware,
custom house district, the Chamber
of Commerce's efforts have been fine
and most oommendable, in the citys
behalf.
Yet it is to remember that the large
proportion of our custom house rusi-
ness, and the large increases in the
Wilmington custom house figures,
have been due very largely TO the oil
buiness at Marcus Hook, just within
the Delaware State line, and jurisdic-
ltion, and for which neither Whining
tons trade bodies are really entitled
to any credit.
With a Delaware riverfront devel-
lopment in front of Wilmington, with
out doubt Wilmington's custom house
business would have a legitimate in
crease to rebound to the credit of and
make Wilmington in fact a port of
entry and shipment
To the layman, the Chamber Of
Commerce has seemed to be more in
lterested in trying to block and oppose
than to help get such riverfront de-
velopment for Wilmington.

THE ONE THING NEEDED.

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir The Chamber Of Commerce IS
certainly to be congratulated and
commanded for the two items of pub
licity and Wilmington advertising so
successfully pulled off, in the past
two weeks,-the New Jersey trip and
the Peninsula editors visit and re-
ception in Wilmington
II shows there is brainy brilliance
and earnest effort and forceful inten-
ton to push Wilmingtons advance
ment. and to let all the territory know
that should be in constant, and to both
sides, profitable business intercourses
with Wilmington, and keep ever be-
fore them. and to spread broadcast
fun knowledge of the advantages OK
Wilmington and of doing business
with Wilmington.
But-and the fly is often in the oint-
ment-it is to wonder what were the
many thoughts of the many progress
sive and intelligently thoughtful
