: Koreinber. . '
I ' We took a " ride yesterday after
noon, for the first 4ime,;.over the
newly constructed WNmington,Ons
Iow and East Carolina Railroad, as
far as Sandy Run. ? It was the first
time that a newspaperman had ever
made a trip over thatTroad.- .
iSileiitiy and surely, but steadily,
this work has been carried on. Not
much has been said'about it in the
newspapers and really -the citrzeO
of Wilmington know but little of the
road or the country which it is fast"
opening up to the trade of this
place, although by a popular vote
the city has made a subscription of
$100,000 to the capital stock of the
road. : r-
! The depot of the W., O. & E. C. i
R. R. in this city. is at a point in the
extreme Southern extremity " and
just beyond Kidder's mill. The
company "own valuable properties
there and have an extensive water
front, on which a wharf and ware-
i
house ,' hajve been erected. The
trains start from the foot of Front
street, where the. road crosses, and
where a small warehouse and ticket
office and a platform, have been
built. It is just about one mile and
a half front Front' street depot, at
the northern terminus of the same
street. Two regular trains are run
each day, one in -tlie morning ana
the other in the afternoon. This is
done at present more as a matter of
accommodation than any other pur
pose. The tjoaches ordered by the
company have not yet been recei v
ed, althouglr they may get here this
week, and a box car has been fitted
i - .
up with seats for passengers.: Capt.

The road, in leaving the city, skirts
the Southern suburbs and crosses
the Seacoast R. R. at the turnpike,
iust bevond the Mineral Spring. It
' i ...
dives down into the!Mosquito Hall
tract, between the turnpike and the
bid plank foad, and emerges just be
low the old John A. Sanders 'place,
four miles from lown, where it cross

the valuable guts promises cwsru
Newberu road, it runs
f almost the same line as
does the county road, almost always
in view of , it and occasionally cross
ing that road. This is kept up the
entire-distance to Sandy Run and
beyond it.'
For the first few miles out
some verylfine country is passed but
from the first crossing of the county
road for a d "stance of f aur or fivo
miles the prospect is a dreary one-
sand and scrubby 6aks, with here
and there ;a rich patch of lowland.
But when near Scott's Hill the
scenery changes as if by magic. The
ocean is near, at hand then and the
fine hammock lands between the
road and the sound are in a. h
state of 'cultivation. The country,
too, instead of . being level and mono
tonous is a rollinc one and. the view
in some instances is a superb one.
Scott's Hill la a mere village but it
is rtnn or the n'ret.t lest little places in
the State. !, There are some elegant
residences there, notably those .of
the Messrs! Foy, Hon. C. W. Mc-
rjlaiuui v and others. , It lies near
tho sea. within two tuiles. and is in
the centred of the hummock land.
We have known that country of old
and are fully justified in saying that
there are no finer farming lauds any
wncre in tlie State than ore those
around Scott's Hill. . The village.
by the way; is in Pender county, but
a hop, skip and jump will land one
in New Hanover. . ' --'
It is a pretty country all of the way'
from Scott's Hill to Sandy Uan.i
which is, by the way, a small stream
of silvery clear water flowing over
yellow sand, and not as big as Ma
comber's ditch. Beyond Sandy Run
we are told there is more sand un
til you reach the old Sage place, at
the Onslow line, 2S miles -from the
City. . -
i About 18 miles from Wilmington
there is a beautiful sheet ot tresn
which it
Jt is sur
beyond Scott's Hill, where through
a break In i the foliage and across
rich fields green with . verdure may
be obtained a ileeting glimpse of
the sound, of the ocean arid of Top
sail Inlet. The road follows the
coast line and is generally "from two
t6 three miles distant from it and
some cf these days, wljen the ricii
huuituock lauds are all cleared and
nndcr cultivation the ride over the
W., O. & e. C. R. R. in the neigh
borhood of Scott's Hill, with . the
rich green fields in the foreground
ahd the deep blue of the sea beyond
will be something worth talking
about. , v '' ,
We have often heard it said that
the country between .this city and
Jacksonville was dead and barren.
and Would never, yield any returns
to an attempt to open it up by 'rail.
This is mere supposition and based
Upon the fact that travelers by the
county road really see but very lit-.
tie of the country. The topography
is somewhat peculiar. The road,
trad ition says, was '. once an- In
dian trail, and follows the. only; sand
ridge between the hummock lands
and those of the" interior. This
ridge runs. all .of the way from Wil
mington to Jacksonville. It is a
narrow ridge and will average
scarcely half a mile. In tlie interior
there are, ricli swamp lands and
pocosins, reaching up into the Holly!
Shelter section of Pender. One:
of these pocosins, we are told, is 15
miles long. These lands are heavily!
timbered, not only with pine, but!
with oak, birclr, hickory, ash, maple,;
dogwood, &c, and are capable of a
hiffh' state of cnltivntion Tli W
O R' f 1 1? T? riidi-Kda wlint innvl
ue cai.ieu a line country and we:
doubt if there is any section of the!
State which, as a whole,' is .richer in
natural advantages.
The road has been completed 2Ui
miles from the.city, one mile beyond
the dividing line between Onslow

Clammy is a stronc ndrrtatn f ii"

Last Sunday's New York Sun gives
soma piquant illustrations of Maj.
McCIammy wit and humor. In a
long correspondence from Wash ing-:
ton his name appears; at four sep
arate Intervals, to which we shall
refer as briefly as possible. The lard
bill was under discussion in the
House. We quote from the S'un:
On the ' next dav the Senate
