Carolina Insane Asylum, the following
letter, which the latter kindly permit
ted your correspondent to copy :
"Owing to resignations and new ap
pointments the personnel of the Board
of Directors has very much changed
since the last meeting. I, have ap
pointed on that Board four gentlemen
with rio one of whom had I any per
sonal interview before their commis
sions were issued, and no one of whom
do I believe will willingly do an illegal
act. I deem it right to say to you, and
ask yott to say to the Board, that it is
in time of great excitement that a pa
triot and good citizen best shows his
love for his country by the strictest ad
hesion to the law. My judgment is
settled that it is better to suffer a great
inconvenience for a time than to tram
ple the law under foot. The only in
structions I shall give the Board is to
to do nothing which it believes to be of
doubtful legality, but within the law do
thatVhich it may deem best for the
State; but above all let its action be so
stated upon the record that the courts
may give redress in case it is mistaken
and justice may be thus maintained."

Speciai.! J. L. Bell, Esq., Superin
tendent 01 the Railway Mail Service
told a MES3FNGER reporter this morn
ing that he would : guarantee to put a
mail on every train which left Wil
mington. He says the poor mail facil
ities of which the, Messenger has
complained so much, are due to the
railroads, not to the Department. He
seems anxious to do all the MESSENGER
asks, and if the railroad companies can
see their way clear; to run trains so as
to meet the wishes of the people, Wil
mington may be assured that Mr. Bell
will do his share towards Improving
the mail service.
By the way, this Mr. Bell comes of
North Carolina stock. He is a near
kinsman of the late Hon. John Bell,
whose father was born and bred in Ox
ford, Granville ! county. Commodore
Henry R. Bell, U. S. N., is of the same
family. The ancestress of both gentle
men was a Miss Hics of Oxford. She
married a Dr. Bell, who was a surgeon
in the Revolutionary Army.

Trains from Atlantic City Crowded with
Passengers.
Philadelphia, Sept. 13. The trains
over the Camden and Atlantic road to
and from Atlantic City are running on
schedule time to-day with the excep
tion of hour's delay in crossing the
meadows. The exodus irom the sea
shore is great: the: . train which left
Atlantic City at 6:55 o'clock this morn
ing consisted of seven cars all heavily
loaded; one which left at 7:30 o'clock
brought the same number of cars, and
the following two early trains was one
of two sections which left Atlantic
City at 9iS0 o'clock. It consisted of
sixteen cars, all heavily loaded with
passengers. The run across the mead
ows was easy as compared to that made
by the first train; yesterday, j The
water has almost entirely subsided and
the road bed is clean.
Until this morning no definiteidea
of the damage to the West Jersey road
could be gained but as the mist cleared
away and the spray disappeared it is
seen that the road bed is ,in a terrible
shape. Possibly the Reading road,
taking its entire length7 into considera

but as far as the work of repairs is con

a little reaction and raggednes,
but the general average of prie is

The violent storm has disturbed bus

Though the Govern riaent crop report
was thought slightly unfavorable, other
accounts all concur very satisfactory
views, and'tho course of trade at into-
r pointsmanifest confidence of local
dealers! Trade in cotton has been fair
though much affected by the fttorru,
while the market for woolens i inac

The weekly output of iron farn&ces
in blast September 1st, was 144,l3tor3
against 145,899 August 1st, and 125,6(16 a
year ago.7 In spite of tho incmvo of
14.4 per cent, in production for 'the
year the tone of tho market is strong
for the best well known grades, but ,
while such iron sells at $18 for number
one, new makes are selling other iron
claimed to be equally as good at 17, '
and a failure to sell No. 2 Southern at
$15 is noticed. Rails do not rie. Tea

saleshere by Rothschilds are rumored.
The London strike, preventing ship

Breadstuffs bavo been comparatively
inactive; wheat Is a half cent higher
with sales for the week of only ten mil
lion bushels, and corn 1c lower with
sales of 6,500,000 bushels. Coffeo has
advanced another half cent, and oil two
cents but hogs and lard are lower.
On the whole speculation in product
is making unusually little disturbance
this j'ear and large crops are therefore
all the more likely to go into rooump
tion promptly at moderate pri.
