We PRINT on our first page today a letter which gives, as we believe, a correct in side view Of the southern boom furore which has found so many willing victims IN New England and its full share Of them IN Vermont We have chosen this letter for publication because it hears on its face the marks of being a truthful and unpreiu- diced statement, presenting fairly both sides of the question. Briefly stated, the conclusions of this writer are that the natural resources of the South and its on. portunities for bona ide investors, who are not trying to get something for nothing, have not been over-estimated or over for starting new towns and Cities" are purely speculative and nineteen twentieths of them can end only in disaster. This, evidently, is the belief of the southern people themselves The methods of the boomers, as here pic tured, are interesting A location is picked out near deposits of coal and iron, which are abundant in many parts of the South, and where railroads might centre should they ever be built A company is then formed to put up blast furnace or two, perhaps some other kind of manufacturing is talked Of or set up, it is announced that the new city is % have electric lights and electric street cars-in some cases plants for this purpose are put in-and then train loads of excursionists are run in TO start the boom and sell the town lots All this would be right and legitimate if there was a substantial basis for the move ment-it there was a population real or prospective 10 warrant il, or if the boomers were genuine investors who meant to STAY on the ground, improve their property, and help 10 build up the country. On the con trary however, they are men who are ION the make, or who are trading on great expectations hoping TO double or quadruple their money, but who will quickly unload upon whomsoever they may as soon as they lind these expectations likely 10 be unreal lied, These remarks have no application to the thriving cities and smaller towns of the S

An effort is now making to cOns0Ii-r date the State of Deleware and the Eastern shore Of Maryland and Aeeo- mac county, In Virginia, in 10 a new State, to be called Chesapeake The thirteen counties in the three States. make the peninsula, lying between the Chesapeake, the Delaware river and the Atlantic ocean. Tt Is believ-' ed that these counties have % pOpula-' ton aud identical interests. Of suf- ticient importance to warrant their creation into a new State. Under the the proposed plan, Deleware, Of COURSE loses its identity; but this is to offset the objection which the people of Vir- ginia and Maryland in the counties adjoining might have to annexation to 50 small a State as DeleWare, which by compromise may become the larger and more important State Of Chese-. peake. The plan is not new one, Simon Cameron, as Secretary Of War in 1861, officially recommended it. and it has been discussed from time 10. time ever since. The reason given for moving in the matter now, is that, III the new State is to be created, it can be ranked IN the enumeration, esti- mates and statistics of the census about to be taken, as the State of Chesapeake, not Delaware.
