We gave a state- * i meot, n few weak* since, which asm* exU | trnsively copied, in regard to the re- ^ ccipts of the road and how mueli those receipts exceeded the running expenses. Tlie statement proved to bw very «n- .' conrsging, not only to those raorencar- | ly interested in the success of the road ' itself, but was favorably received by all ' who have the general prosperity of our 6 1 county nt heart. The .workings of ihe road have proved lliut it is a decided 1 success, and not a miserable failure as r tome, whose wish Was father tm the '" thought, predicted that it would bo. '* In the spring of 1857, the West Jersey c| 1 Railroad", between Camden and Woodh | bary, nine ml'es, was put in opcrntioo. i, , This road was originally intended to ; ir : form the grand trunk ruud to Capet J» »l ' land, by way or Bridgeton aud Mill- 1 f mk

The pecessity for flit continuation or tins road to the. Istand is . 90 obviou.liiat nrgwnent in i.s favor seems aim,. superfluous. The great ivuitHuer resort of the country must not 'be superseded places which have not near the natural advantages which that possesses One thing is evident, however, that atf -less" the connection to the Island is shortly made, the importance of Cape Island as u w\at5PHM»ail3S^r>^b matcju. rinlly hnp»fc«H. iMblrcady fecX tb<J Affects of tiiierprKaAlscwItere. disypyed, aud 'he continuing want or such eomciunication as desired will still more seriously be (eit n* time -oils on. It is nn absolute nceiasity to that eouttfy that , the road should bo I u ill, for it cannot .be thus isolated and keep pace witli ; • mora favored section*. Hotel proprietors, laud owners and others interested 1 in property at jbe Island, und between . Cape Muy and Millville, should do their 1 whole part In furthering a project of so 1 great and immediate udvutttuge to themr -selves Tlietown OiitJ neighborhood of i Millville are also greatly interested in , the scheme, from the fact that the travel . over their road will be proportionally r increased. In ibis nialter, local jeul 5 ousie* should be supprc^»ed u:id the r people should unite in favor of one 1 • route, else non-residents, and others . who have been regarding favorably tlic , enterprise, may become disgusted and . ; lose all interest in the affair. If the { people of -Cape May get oho rdftd, it is os much as tliry "can expect, apd fully ] a* much as the requirements of that s county demand. With ihe route cifiuf plcled, and systematically operated, s l'hilmlclphia and Cape May will be ^ brought tn within almost three hours lime of earli other, over 77 miles ofsttn- ] b token rail. — liritifflon Chronicle.
