KZLLYILLB AHD QfcflftBOBO' RAmt/iAP Nolwiilinyding w« L-m« written so mach on rtilroan m»t!eri, and have, at diff•rtot tiroe*, given a pr»ttj foU history of tb« Millville £ Glassboro’ Railroad enterpriee, which is so popular with the people of Cape May, still, we have thought that a brief reeapnlation of it« hUlory might not

be unprofitable.

The project of building a railroad from Millville to Glassboro’. a distance of twen. J ♦y-two miles, to connect with the West Jcr«y road at Glassboro. thus opening commnnicaUon with Philadelphia, was first •Urted one year ago last winter. Jn.rae diate application was made to the LegUlatore for a charter, which wea obtained. The company was duly organised, the book* opened, the stock taken, and the commenced, and pressed forward with aocfe eawrprise, that the road is now nearly Miaphtod; so that, in eighteen monti*, •r low from the passage of the charter, thds will bo «■ on the road. Raring this lime * • cowtrmet has been entered into with the West Jersey company, to com-. plots tboir road to Glassboro’ by the fir* 1 ; ®f Aprifnext, making a continuous route from Philadelphia to Millville, a distance of only thirlr seven miles from Cape Is

AMJ/wrlat is '

bost of all, the entire

.wau, wnen ewipleled, will be free from debt. Koch Is the energy, enterprise. economy, ooCbowdiss ability of tbo men |ari»g the work in hand. ’ ‘ - l>ast winter application was piadi to the Logtslatorc for a supplement lo^be charier, authorising the extenlion of the road to €ape Island. The supplement was pa-sed. At an early date, a delegation from this eoonty waited on the Board of Directors of the company, the result of which wns »bo passage by the Board of the following reeelution, a certified copy of which, with •cal of company attached, may be seen by ewlli-g on Wire: Jteto/red—That when the- right-if-way is tecored, and one hundred and screnlyfire tboinand dollars is subscribed to the capital stock of said Millville aiifl Glass-botV-liailroad Gompany, for tbe said pnrPom, by^aatis^etory parlies, and ten per ■caul tbertefppaid, we will proceed at once to Uw coostractioa of said road, and com plete tha.aame in one year from the re

ceipt of ten per cent.

!• *hm aapeet tbe enterprise come before tbs people of the county; and it was plain *>• ■••n that no railroad projeclhad ever bafbre met wiUranch Car or, or could seenre scarcely a tithe of the amonni of anbscrip,i ““- The whole matter could be underU ooinpany haring the work iu ‘‘spired the people with oonfideoce, "w**» wj their well known bosiness cliarac•M", their ensrgeric prosecution of their »osk under the orignal charter, and the reliable proposition which they had made far the extension. Tha work is still in

remarks have been mode at the ef friends of the road, who * called for, though bat little * repetition of what we have t ■ III III "jjpimg; -

^e the bribery, drunkenness, bnlly fight ing, challenging and dnelling, gambling, and a thousand other kindred operati o ns which will reanlt from the contest. To our mind, while' wo admit the duty of erery cilisen to exercise a jealons care over the ioteresls of tbe country, there is something revolting in the spectacle presented by a political campaign as it usually exists, and not as It should exist. It is, indeed, strange that men—reasoning, thinking men ; men, who, in other matters, appear caitdid and sensible; and even Christian men (or professedly so.) should bo lose their balance, dethrone their reason, sacrifice their prinriple, and throw thamselves into tbe current of pnblic excitement, to be carried

Caps Mat Wkxat.—We have a very fine sample of wheat, the growth of this year, from tbo farm of Rev. J. flammitt, Capo MayC.

Musical.—The musical department of a Cape Island bathing season is in operation. The celebrated band of Messrs. Hassler arrived some days ago, and took up their sninmer quarters at Congress Hall and the Colombia House, where they are engaged for the season. The presence of these accomplished performers has become a kind of indispensable wiik us, at this season of the year, almost as much os Old Ocean himself. There is something sublime in ii* music, especially when lashed into fury by Borens ; but, after, all, we cacnot dispense with Hassler’s trenpe. •TThV New York steamers, on their daily arrivals at this place from New York remain at the wharf ootil 8 o’clock A.
