We hue mahnaed to struggle elong, j and keep the ^Wave" in motion, for j nix years since our -connection1 with it; I — during irliich tune we have done but j Jitlln ifiore than support a family res- j "* jmstnbly and comfortably, without ever loudly calling for debts due us ; bat the < times_have materially changed the feee ! of things, in conaection with this office ; Suffice it to Ay, that from one half to two-thirds of *onr yearly, business is cut off for the present, so that we have only to fall back on what is due to us ; by which, in connection with the diminished lysines* wo arc still doing, by the strictest economy, wo expect to keep the " flan" nJiiny tlili. We 'therefore call upon all those indebted to us, to settle up without delay. Wo do not come to them for charity for have always managed to earn our living, and we hope, by the blessing of Providence, to bo able to do so still ; but we da call upon all for onr jntl duet, from our honl earnings, and we hope j our call will bo responded to. The amounts from each are so small, , that there are bat few who cannot meet them ; while the aggregate > would be quite Important to us. We have paid out our money for paper, ink nod labor, which we cannot long conlinuo to do, without tomo return, and uo honett mat) will permit us to do it.

THE PAST RATHIK0 SEASON Wo may now consider tho Capo Island bathing season of 16GI as closed; anil per hap* a few reflections in reference to it. may | not hi inopportnne. Most of nor reader* ! are probably aware of the results of that ' season, in a financial point of viuw to the j Island nod.the county; bat there may be some who may look for an opinion from tf»; j nnd to such we are sorry to be compelled to say, thai tho season may be set down as lit- 1 tie better than a failare, so far a* any real money-making is concerned, and it is of no on to attempt to diigoise the real Tact. It ( fs irou, that we have bad several thousand, of visitors at the hotels, and many cottage i families; it is true that many hotels have had j x quite a large number of guests ; bat, at the i same 'imp, wo question whether scarcely | on* of tlicee hotel* has done more '.ban pay j tbuir current expenses, where, heretofo.* ; they have made Ihoosanra m of , dollars ol clear profit. And not only so, hat there are other* who have not pnid expensa*. to whom the season has been a loss. Nor have the hotels alone fe.'t the effcA* . of the reverse ; bat every moo on Cape Is land has felt it ; the storekeepers, mechanics, and even the printer, most sorely. Kor are the people alone in ihis respect. Wc think it needs no ergnment now to convince those from the county, who are employed in the hotels, end those who drive carriages bure, as well as those who sell their fish, oysters, milk, vegetable*, poultry qggo ..and all other kinds of eatables, that the failare of a Geps Island b*ard|eg seaaon is a very serious inconvenience to tbeta, and to the whole county. Certainly • very one mast see. that to have only 810,000 in cosh distributed through theconnty, where $50,000 was distributed in Termer seasons, or in that proportion to a greater or I»m extent, is aq item worthy of coasidera tion, a deficiency which can but materially cripple the financial interest of the coonty. livery man must fe«l it, directly or iodirrctfy ; for though some persons may not get A dollar or the money, directly ; yet, every dollar pat into circulation in the county, fs an indirect tieuebt to every roan in the county ; and ao aen sable man can fail to see it. Bat the question "will he asked ; What ! fats been the masn'nf this depression -«l lb- |M$nV« of Cape Island! Why i« „ I t fc*t we hare done so much ten barium • , n t :|iMl--| ■ f||- ^ ■

this season than any former season ? Soma one will 'answer that it is on account of the war. Mid the consequent depression of bsi • ' tness in the cities throughout the country ; j I and so, in one sense it is bat that is not , ' the only-cause. Now u is a font, to our 1 1 certain knowledge, that whil» we have j » been doing a losing basinet an Cape Is- • 1 land. Atlantic City. Long Branch &r„ have t been doing a prosperous business ; though t not. perhaps, quite eqoal to former seasons. | ' To our certain knowledge, the hotels at ,■ 1 Atlantic city were fnll nnd overfiowing. j ' while we were doing only abeat one fourth of our osoal business. The reason of this , I ia obvioui. Almost every family in the j | cities bad friends in the army, and they;' knew not at what boor intelligence might ; j I be communicated to their homes that 'hose 1 j friends were killed c-r wounded, or their ( 1 I lifeless remains sent to their homes. Con- I I seqccntly, it was a matter of importance i j to them to bo siloatefl where the news 1 j might soon reach them, and where they j ! could soon retorn to their homes or proceed < ■ to where their unfortunate relatives were. | j At Cape Island, it would require two day* | to get tho intelligence and then retorn to j Philadelphia ; whereat, if they were it ( Atlantic city, in a few hoars from tho re- j cciptof the news io Philadelphia; by the i aid of the telegraph aud railroad, they eonld bo in Philadelphia, ready to receive their dead or wounded friends, or to go to ilieiWiistanco. That this is tho great catffe of the fearful falling off of business < at Cape Island, compared with other places where thoy eqjayod railroad and telegraph j facilities, there can bo no doubt Nothing j could be more reasonable, and no other | . cause can, we think, be assigned Tor the disastrous ehangc in business here since last season, while there was not a correspond^ cbangw at other watering places. 1 j From thia aspect of alTnirs— an aspect i ; about which there can be no questions— is j it not plain tbat lite great desideratum is a , railroad, and the consequent re-opening of , jttelsgMfwic communication ? We ask the1 gOod people of the county of Cape May if ' they do Dot see thia and feel it f Look *al j the matter candidly, and let your answer be sincere, imprrtial and practical. The ques- ' tion, we hope, will again be laid belure you, 'and yon'will have an opportunity to giro a t practical answer ; and wu lru»t tbere will , he no dodging tho question then. ! j But it may be said that wc cannot build n j railroads fn these bard lime* : and such a I plea might, at first sight, seen plausible. ! But onr Amnion is that ibore was never a

j more rarorablo time than now, to hnild a v 1 railroad to Cape May ; for in the first j ' j place the peoplo never more plainly sow 1 the importance of it; and then there was 1 j never a time when the people had less to 1 i do. and consequ-ntly would bo more reAdy 1 ! to rspeod their labor on aVilf°ad. Notli- ' ; ing has been asked of u». btifr to grade anil ' j cross-lie the road, to insure its speedy com- ' ' plction ; and nothing more is now wanting. 1 j Wo have the best of evidence for belioring : that if tho people along the road wilt prepare it for the iron, reliable parties stand, j ready to put it in running order before next 1 Summer. Ail tbat is wanting,^! for as to I | do the small part required of us. Now we ask, was there ever a time when ' such an enterprise would commaud so much ( labor, as daring the present aatnmn, and | j th- coming winter! We think not. The . | people can do the work and fnrnish the t | cross-ties, aud when done, scarcely know , . thai they have been tun ed aside Iroth tbeir i usual basing** But there ts another feature to this snb , jtel, which we have not adverted to«in this l article— our which especially intare-t* the | farmers, and all those who nsualiy sal' | marketing here. It canool be denied, that ; thousands of dollars worth of vegetables ( oyster*, fish Ac., might have been sold here | more than has been sold, if the season had i been good; and farther, that wfiat baa been < sold, would have commanded far higher i priees, aud* consequently there baa been , a dead lost to the oouoty, of thousand* of , dollars. Now suppose we had a railroad, and a poor season shoald occur, the farmers would bare a ready market for their pro dune ill Philadelphia ; and not simply for the boarding sea von. but daring the entire year; and that market would ofren be much better than '.his. even in the bathing season, and eved when the season eras good. In conclusion, we* say to the people of.j Cape May; we hope this matter will soon be laid before them, in a shape, the practicability of which they cannot fail to sea ; and we trust there wHl be a prompt and 'unanimous response. Now is the tlme; there is no time for delay. W# may a* wYdl have th* road in running order, by the | first of July next, as to wait ten years; and i this fall and winter if the time to do the i work ; and let os be op and doing it. j ffiijr Several communication are received. : to be published. j

THE AFFAIRS OF MIB80DRI. Not a mail reaches us but that some j account of skirmishes, battles, or dia- ; bolical outrages of the rebels in Missouri < ' reach' us. As we have previoasly remarked. ' thia State bos been the theatre of many | stirring seeues, second to no other. There was no Boll IUn light, we are : but then, there wo>\fhe contest at : Carthage and at Davis' l-fcegk either of , I which would almost compare with Bull , I The odds were os great' against us, I and the fighting was equally as desperate. ; Indeed, tliey were memorable battles,- and j will record them suth. But. in w- ] gard to "small fights" the Missouri*™ have [ vritne-sed more than even tho Virginians, * j judging from published accounts. Yet, I this will not long be the esse, if the state ' meul be true that Ben McCntlocb has left ! Missouri and gone back into Arkansas ; Tor he was the leading rebel spirit. The cause of this move on the part of McCulj loch we cannot understand, without it be I his fear of the gallant army that Oon. Fre- | rnont ia rapidly and properly organizing, j .Some conjecture that he is going to joiu j the Confederate forces in Virginia to par- | ticipalo ia a bold and powerful attack upon , Wa&bing ion. The future will reveal his j purposes. His command, however, was not the only one in Missouri, as Uen. Price j i | Hardee and Pillow, each have an army, i | which they may think will conquer ours. I I If this is so, they will soon find their opini ! ions false and delusive, as Fremont will i j shortly set hi* men in motion, and when i the tried-hero once starts, mark our word : I fut it, be will prove victorious. We believe r ! tho time is not lar off, when a loyal man j . • can freely breathe bis hunest convictions, t without molestation from afnuid traitors, in ; ; the Stale of Missouri. ' A more murderous, diabolical, and Sent ' dish outrage than was committed on the x I Hannibal and St. Josephs Itail Itond last a ' week, has not come to our notice during T j this rebellion. We relate it as reportedc | The pasvnger express train, bound west* f j was thrown into the Platte river by the I i timbers on the oast end of the bridge hoveling been burned, ao as to give way when ! the train reached that part. Two car i, loads of innocent people, men woman nnd a I children were either killed or terribly wonnII | ded. Everything was smushed. What i must be tlie fate of such detil-lieurleil traij i tors ? Tli'« , however, i* in keeping with j their style of warfare ; and we tuk. Will | God crown with success such a people ? I Corporal Dix. of the 3rd Ohio regiment-

i while out »n a^* routing expedition with | men at Kirktville, lately, was surrnot - * ■ ding in a farm honre while nl dinner by | twenty-live rebe's who made an attack < upon them. The fight was severe, but the ! i Federalists maintained their position in t thediouse, driving the assailannts from the t ground with tho los« of seven rebels killed i and five wounded. Corporal Pix was kill- ; i ed. but none of the oilier Federals were c hurt. ; i — loiter accounts do not confirm the re- ' port of Ben. McCulloch't retreat to Arken- j i #ua, but say that he is at Mount Vernon, j Mo., fitting for another "brush" with our j b°J«. N0ETH CAROLINA. Hon. Charles Henry Fust nr. of North . Carolina, tbo Union member of Coiigre-s ( from that State, has gone to Washington, , to confer with the Administration upon the ] affairs of hia Stale. Rebel scouts lay in I wait for him in Virginia, whoso vigilance successfully eluded. It U said that there is quite an extensivo secret Union League in that State, which likely to do good eervlce yet, agninsi the iniquitous csoso of rebellion. It is reported that the acting Governor it at ti e head of that league ; and that military organixalions, in favor of The Union, are in and that fee Union party intend to elect members of Congress from each district, ltia Wpresepted that a majority ul the voters of the state are decidedly in fa. vor of the Union. How all this may turn out. remains to be teen. We bare still further Intelligence from North Uarolisa, by the arrival of war steamers at Fortress Monroe. It is, that the rebels have abandoned their battery at Ocrecoke Lqlet, and that from one to three hundred are daily flocking into Fort Hatteras and taking the oath of allegiance to the United Slate*. A In those lime*, snch news acts liken charm npon the hearts of the loyal people. It ia cheering to know that there ia aoex. tensive a mass in a Southern State tbat love this Union. We regard it a* an omen of great g."->l to onr canto. But this if no mora than we might reasonably anticipate ; as io the oarly part of the post anmrnrr we met with a most reliable gentlemen, who was travelling through the Slates of Xotlh ! and Snath Carolina, lost Spring, and hour- | ly visited, b„lh Union and Disunion famiI lies. He said «Ual in North Carolir.a the

Union sstotimeni was very powerful, and just as openly expressed as in Kentucky, i It was with great difficulty that there men coold forbear plunging at the traitors and | pnrging the State of them. Nothing but a military despotism has ever kept there noble hearts from long ago taking the stand ' of Western Virginia. The foothold gained by the victory of Hatters* Inlet, is regard. | ed as of more advantage to aa than any ! . other battle. The Secretary of War bos ' sent orders to Gen. Wool, to permanently : hold this place, and we may look for a mil- j itary encampment on the soil of North j Carolina, at 'an early date. The work to crnsh out rebellion is progressing, as the j i* events of the day conclusively prove. our campTIFtter. i Camp Oi.okx. Tkextox, N.

A sump. ( i lunus dinner wu* prepared of which ne par- ■ j • took'wiih much relish — humor, fun and wit, ^ D ! prevailing at the table. , j On our arrival at the wharf in the city, , ! we-were net by a committee of ihe "Vola 1 anteer Kefreshmenl Saloon." nccompuined | i by Mr Koberl Gibson, well known to many 1. 1 of the people of our comity. By the lat „ i ter. we received an invitation to rendezq ' vnus at tho Weccscne Engine llou-c darc ; ing our stay in the city, which was grata- ]. | fully occepted.

After wit. nessing a thousand soldiers pnrtnking of ' the volunteer bounty, it seemed strange to reflect tbat even here in the North, there l are men who predict thu downfall of our ' conntry, and who are covertly fcofluig to | effect its destrnctron. But then, tffii frogs v ! will croak, and nasty worms will builmtiesls the fulretts and best of trees. J At half part nine we depnrled for Tren- : ton, at which place we arrived about eleven. ' !
