v 4 THE HOTEL.
tf e observe a town meeting I called, to be
held on Monday Evening next, for the purpose of
making arrangements to establish ft new Hotel Id
this town. Wo would be sorry jtlhpeach the
motives of the respectaldTrlIoo of tho coni
jruunlly who ore waving in th(a business. On the
Ae pSoswrife the interests of the town, qud add to
respectability. But hila we concede this
pu'ch, we take the liberty of expressing our
opinion on the subject,, because some few may
A .:, sn l 1 .'cause it h our righ,t and duty to
la so. . . "r
. o douU the troe interests of tho place will
to pioiuotcd, fcven If success attend the effort so
frr at to build op the contemplated establishment,
Capitalists will be chary of investing their money
ia krga enterprises, la places where it becomes
i fashionable to compete e bnalness, and trade, by
united and oijatlwd .blle.-- Sock competition
4s unfair. Whilo some hundreds can afford to
Jose their hundreds cacti, the individuals against
whom they operat lose their all perhaps the
tarings of years of Industrious toil and see (heir
prospects blasted by a system thataffords comfort
and consolation to none except travellers stran
gers, for whose accommodation the arrangements
are made.
It may be considered as an indisputable fact,
that privato enterprise will always seiao the ave
nues to wealth in any investment required by
the traats pf a conjmunity. Wo have many men
( ia this totfn, sagacious business men, keen calcu
lators,, io, if they saw any projpect of profit
ia the establishment of a new Hotel, would go
into the business at once. We ha ve respectable
Hotels already and a number of good private
Boarding Houses quite sufficient to acconimo
Ute all persons; travellers as well as residents,
as a rcneral matter. " Those occanions on which
iuconveiifcnce Is experienced hero, on account of
n ubususI crowd, are not confined to Wiltuing
tor('.lilji ease hi every city of tho Union,
aal happens as often clscwhcro as here. Such
contingencies caunot be providt'd for without a
.reckless disregard of profit and loss -and all the
wealth In the world cwild not provido agsinst
,Jhti complaining and whims of travellers. We
priced uot think of getting up any establishment
,$aj fijl ft,re satisfaction to all it being cou-
f Idcred quite ungontcel, by many, not to have
. keen used to much better things than any furnish
vd at tho lost Hotel at which they stopped.
; It Is often said that "opposition Is the life of
trade." ' Although this adage is daily quoted
with much . flippancy, it baa never grown into a
truism and never will. Honorable coropetion is
the life of business. But to render it bonqrablo
-Ml to requisite that Jhcra be ground to work upon
fcufiiolent for the use of all the competitors
other opposition is but a straggle between parties,
' to see which one can ruip the other. Such con
jesfs seldom result in benefit to either party, and
never promote healthful business action in any
community and certainly never where enmbina
ti uj are fined to overwhelm the exertions of in
dividual enterprise.
It is said we lave not snch Hotels as a place of
this luirwtance should have. Ah, we gnesa wo
have as good at wo can afford, though it may not
be pleasant to confess it to the Hon. Thomas
Sliuffieion, (he traveller, as ho gives us a patron
ising glaoco. If we had not, most certainly some
one of our enterprising citizens wonld put up a
better; they would pot up a better if it would
psy-and If it would pot, it cannot be wise in them
or aDy one else to do it.
We have no personal Interest n this matter.
We arc as anxious as any other that the place
should increase in wealth and respectability, and
wonld be sorry to say or do any thing to retard
itt advancement But many things, we think,
are more needed than a' sew Hotel, the money
invested itt which can never be worth sixty cents
in the dollar. We speak from history. What
has beVn ia Charleston and other southern cities
wiU be likely to happen here. !
What elber things do we really want! A
Town Hall; a Public Cemetery and although
wq do not belong to the play-going class, as a
public matter, we think the Thalian Association
Theatro, wants grinding over; to bo sure it has
been cored of a paralysis, but it looks as if shock
ingly afflicted with. Fever and Ague. All these
would add to the credit and importance of Wil-miugton-a
wcC at several others that might be
mentioned, claiming a share in the liberality of
our public spirited citizens.
FLAGITIOUS ENORMITY.
'"Si We publish to-day an account of an accident on
the Washington Rail Road, brought about by the
-v wicked design of some persons pnknown. These
atrocious acts aro becoming so .frequent, that the
most stringent laws should be enaetod in relation
-ia hem. They exhibit an unprovoked malice
against alt mankind, and should be punished with
the highest penalty known to the law.

ACCIDENT O.V TIS WASHDiQTON R. ROAD
A Washington correspondent f the Baltimore
Sun rlutes, that when the train of Cars, which
left Baltimore at 4) o'clock on Sunday Morning,
reacnea meueep cut, rjve miKtrrotn v a!ilngton,
there was a bar of the rail removed from Its place
by some unknown fiend. The break was discov
ered before the engine was ttpoti it, but not time
enough ;to avoid the disaster. The engine was
thrown off the track down on her side, Vs. tender
broken, and, with the baggage car, thrown across
the opposite side of the embankment. The latter
contained the mail agent, Mr. Isaac Taylor, of the
Fltiladftlphis post-ofce, who was acting as a sub
stitute for Mr. Auderson. The mail agent Mr.
Wooltery, the engineer and Mr. Littlo, the fire
man, were pretty severely braised and received
some flesh wounds, but it is believed nothing se
rious The train was delayed in its arrival about
half an hour. As, fortunately, the outgoing train
for Baltimore, leaving at 6, was in a few minutes
directly on the spot, the passengers, mails and
baggago were transferred to Capt. Humphrey'
train and brought in, saving the connection of the
mail and travel. The engine is still on tho road.
WAV.NE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
A meeting of tho Wayne Agricultural Society
was held in Colrixboro' on Saturday last, and was
called to order by Win. K. Lane, Esq. 2d Vice
President, the Presidcut and 1st Vice President
being absent. The Republican and Patriot con
tains a part of the proceedings from which we
make a few extracts :
Dr. S. A. Andrews read a renort from a anocial
committee on the use of marl on a wheat crop on
Mr. B. Scott's plantation. This report was wejl
received and ordered to bo printed ; comment is
therefore Unnecessary. The observations made
by this committee oo tho nature and value of the
uiariuc deposits lately di$coveft)d in our neighbor
hood are such as must tend to produce a c)ose
examination of these substances, the committee
considering f'm judging by their apcaranee
ami vuiiiiusiuuii, as oi me same nature in part,
and little inferior in value, to Quano. "
Vr. Tompkins, hditoref thi Farmfr't Journal.
was called up and addressed the meeting in his
usual eloquent and forcible manuer. . His subject
was tho importance of tho Farmers keeping up
minium improvement 01 me ago, and this was
happily illustrated by many instauccs of his own
observation where great advantage bat accrued
from agriculturists having their attention drawn
a little on" from the old fashioned track. We take
this opportunity to commend the Doctor to our
readers and the public at large as a gentleman la
boring for a great and important improvement for
the general interest of our country. All will ad
mit his personal influence and that of his paper
nas ucen ait to a great extent la Wayne, aud cer
tainly to our vast advantage.
Col. Andrews in.roduced the subject of improve
ment in gardening and cultivation of ediblo veget
ables. This led to a very animated and interes
ting conversation, in which Mr. Lane, Mr. McKin
nie, Mr. Hollowell, Mr. D. IJ. Everitt, Dr. Tomp
kins and other gentlemen took part.
MASSACHUSETTS.

to suit his views. It goes into operation about
the middle of July.
SQMETIllXa TO BE CONSIDERED.
It in said that the majority of tho office-holders
at the city of Washington are in favor of Gen.
Scott. The magnanimity of the present adminis
tration prevents any action against them while
if they ojiposo Scoy, and he should bo elected,
they would certainly have to dacamp. This Is
something to be considered in making up political
calculations.
THE DEATH PENALTY.
8'bo abolition of the death penalty in the State
of Michigan has been followed by an alarming in
crease of the classes of crimo involving vlolcuce
and showing contempt of human lifo. A Detroit
paper, commenting on the proceedings of a Grand
Jury, gays: The nature of the investigations
which that grand jury wero called to make, satis-
isfled its members that tho city of Detroit is a
dark and b'oody ground, whose soil lias dj unk
the blood of many a victim, and whose quiet riv
or has choked the gurgling death-cry of manv a
wretch, of whose end nothing more ii known but
that he was and is not, and the secret of whose
taking off'' is between tho murderer and his Ma
ker. Tho river flows in close tirovimitf i.nrii.
eus of a most dangerous and disreputable charac

proof which are subject to hnman ken."

Maria White, of Boston, in endeavoring to reach
the other side of the track, fell Immediately In
the way of the engine which was coming along

ed, had it not been for ihe coolness and intrepidi
ty of the Depot Master, Mr. B. R. Leavitt, who
at the risk of bis own life, rushed forward and
dragged her on to the platforrn, falling with her
himself. So narrow was their escape, that the
engineer had no other Idea than that bo had run
over and killed them both. Jler fall upon tho
track was so violent, that when rescued by Mr.
Leavitt, she was entirely Insensible. She escaped
however, with a severe contusion on tho forehead.

Dr. Geo. Green Dear Sir-- Having received Im
portant benefit from the use of your Oxygenated
Bitters, I deem it a duty as it is pleasure", to state
that fact for the benefltof others. -
I havo been, for more than ten years a sufforer
from Dyspepsia, by which I was very much ema
ciated, and my strength so much prostrated, as to
reuder my parochial duties very luborions and
difficult.- I was supposed to be in danger of con
sumption, and was advised by -physicians to re
sort to a warmer tiimate. Some seven months
siifce, I was induced to make trial of yonr Oxy
genated Bitters. An improvement was soon per
ceptible ; 1 regained a considerable portioh of the
flesh and strength I had lost, ami my labors havo
since been performed without difficulty. This im
provement, I have no doubt, Is due to the rise of
yonr Bittern. ' J. PERRY.
