One of the most enjoyable trips It has fallen to the
lot of an oltl newspaper habitue to have, was started
upon last Friday morning. The Invitation was Riven
through the friendliness of our William Painter,
Esq., of the Arm of William Talnter & Co., the well
known banking agents of the Wilmington and Read
Ing Railroad ; and the party was made np of the
Directors of that company, with a besprinkling of a
few folks of the Fourth Estate. The cleric of the
weather was in his most amiable mood the whole
time, and the good bodies thus thrown together
were soon having as Jolly a holiday time as big boys
let loose on a decorous spree could have.
At Wilmington the excursion party was constituted

Wilmington Is truly a thriving and rapidly-growing
city. Its ship yards, car-works, and largo iuunu
factories of numberless articles gtve It the real ele
ments of prosperous expansion. I a direct commu
nication with Reading by a railroad a little over
seventy miles In length cannot but add largely to Its
wealth and commercial Importance. The construc
tion of this road Is already fairly under way, and at
Wilmington was Inspected as much of tho rail as
had been laid from that point northward, several
miles In extent. The road bed was found to be well
built, the ties and cross-beams firmly laid, and the
track as heavy as anywhere In use.
From thence by carriage our drive was for sixty
five miles along the banks of the Brandywlne, quit
ting Its narrow, brook-like head at Springfield, and
from thence riding through fair meadows some six
miles until the placid waters of the Schuylkill were
reached, a half-dozen miles southeast of Reading.
The road by the Brandywlne was most delightful,
and the keen sensations, ofttlmes verging on rap
ture, produced by Us wondrous Iovel!ness were be
yond description. Sometimes the road lay on the
left bank, then it turned to the right over a rustic
bridge, crossing and recrossing the stream at vari
ous points. The smoothly flowing waters of tho
Brandywlne were shaded with Innumerable trees,
firs, spruces, pines, and other dark evergreens, min
gled with the brighter green foliage of chestnuts,
oaks, sycamores, and stately elms. The tulip pop
lars were already arrayed In their light golden
tints, foretelling the ending of summer: the silver
maples blended their shadings of soft colors with the
darker hued branches ; the crimsons, browns, and
other gorgeous tints of autumn were scattered pro
fusely by tho way, foreshadowing the fast-coming
autumnal glories of American woodlands.
A few miles out from Wilmington were seen the
fine powder mills of the Messrs. Dti Pont. These
were founded half a century since by Du Pont, Ne
mour & Co., and have remained In the family to the
present day. Surrounding these mills are lands so
cultivated as to afford views unsurpassed In pictu
resqueness and charming beauty. Willow trees are
grown by the thousands and tens of thousands,
almost rivalling some of the famous plantations or
peach trees In the southern section of Delaware and
Maryland. These willow trees are kept trimmed to
the height of fifteen feet, and the wood cut
oir is sold . to the powder mills to be made
Into charcotil. Formerly the Messrs. Du Pont had to
transport this needed willow wood from far on
points at a heavy expense of freight; but now
farmers, by merely planting tine willows In their
fields and giving them growing room, are able to
sell the annual produce for enough to pay all their
taxes. Twenty-five hundred acres of the finest
lands In this section of country belong to the Du
Pont estate, and upon them are employed a large
number of laborers. From the best of this class are
selected the workmen for the powder mills; and
notwithstanding the dangerous character of that
employment, more men are always prepared to enter
upon It than are needed.
our road, always within sight of the Brandywlne,
passed close by some seventy manufacturing es
tablishments. As far as time permitted, these were
visited and carefully inspected. The kaleldlscopio
Impressions received comprises rolling mills, paper
mills, anthracite furnaces, cotton mills, grist mills,
woollen factories and foundries. Some twenty-five
towns and villages lay either directly on the line of
the road or could be seen stretching off to the right
-or left hand within the bounds of a mile or two. We
passed close by the famous battle-ground of Chadd's
Ford, where the sharp Revolutionary contest was
fought for the possession of Philadelphia to the dis
comfiture of the patriotic forces under General
Washington; and here the first railway intersection
outside of Wilmington will be made with the Balti
more Central. Here the first rest was made, and an in
vitlrg lunch was heartily discussed. Beyond this, to
the left, were seen Kennet Square, Unlonviile, Coch
ranvllle; to tUe right were passed Mortonsvllle and
Coatesvllle.
Eight miles below tills point was met the second
gang of tracklayers working southwardly. Thus an
excellent opportunity was given of testing the
thoroughness with which tho rails were laid, and we
found upon examination that the roadbed was as
firm as if It had been built for years. Hero a loco
motive and comfortable passenger car had been
thoughtfully provided, and the eight miles interval to
Coatesvllle was passed over before five o'clock. This
enterprising and fast-growing town lies directly upon
the line of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and
is the point of Junction with the Wilmington aud
Reading Road. On Saturday we visited many of its
One workshops, such as the Viaduct Rolling Mill
(owned by Messrs. Hugh E. Steele and S. B. Worth),
various furnaces, blanket shawl factories, and paper
mills; but one of the pleasantest reminiscences of
this goodly town la the sound night's sleep enjoyed
there on the preceding Friday. Resuming our car
riages on Saturday ,we Inspected the third railroad
gang laying the route north of Coatesvllle, saw on
. our route the rolling mill of Pennock A Brother,
passed close by Waynesburg, and at Springfield in
tersected the projected Delaware and Lancaster
Railroad, designed to ran from Lancaster through
Springfield and Phacnlxville to Norristown.
Blrdsioro, the present proposed terminus of the
Wilmington and Reading Railroad, lay .on the east
bank of the Schuylkill, upon the Reading Railroad
with which the former will here connect.
Having thus traversed the route of the Wilming
ton and Reading Railroad, we are prepared to speak
understanding of its capabilities. From the large
and rich manufacturing districts through which this
road passes, it must prove largely remunerative,
i The adjoining villages, towns, and factories, In the
year 1863, consumed 247,4CS tons of anthracite coal,
M.800 tons of bituminous coal, and worked up 49,200
tons of crude Iron. Upon these articles the con
sumers will save from eoc. to 11-23 per ton by using
this road Instead of the most favorable avenues now
open to them. From coal and iron alone the com
pany will derive a gross Income or f 205,373 per an
num, aud a net revenue of H8,l5l-2a, a sum In It
self more than sufficient to pay the Interest on the
loan and establish the sinking fund.
In addition to the above sources of trade, the road
runs for ten miles la the valley of Hay creek, through
a region of magnificent brown stone that will be de
veloped and brought Into market for tho first time,
and as tt can be delivered over this road to Philadel
phia cheaper than the Connecticut stone, thero will
be, no doubt, a large and profitable business from
this source. A portion of this stone Is used In the
construction of the One Baptist church at Broa,i .,i
Spruce streets, in this city, and In the famous Grace
Church, Wilmington.
Altogether it is estimated that the receipt of the
company will be from anthracite coul,i98,28; oltu
niineus coul, 123,600; iron, crude and manufucmnwh
143,450; iron ore, 4B,ooo; lumber and netroleum.
i.ts.Dix-Du; nine, tc,wi ruuing mm and glass laud,
ICON); passengers, IllO.too making in all 149,41.
Allowing sixty per cent of the above sum to puy
working expenses, leaves a net revenue of i9S,r.ij7-o,,
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
sum more than anfTlelent to pay the interest upon
the bonds, and establish the sinking fund, and leave
over ton per cent, to apply to a dividend on tho
stock.
The construction of this road will In a short time,
It Is thought, make Wilmington a great depot for the
shipment of coal. It Is Inevitable when we consider
the circumstances of the winters of 186T. and ISfts,
during which the harbor of Philadelphia was blocked
with Ice, and shipments suspended for about three
months, during which lime coal could have been
shipped from the port of Wilmington. The price
of gas qoal rose during this time in New York to I2B
per ton.
Charters for two companies to run steamers be
tween Wilmington and Now York were obtained
from the Legislature or Delaware at Its last session,
and companies are organizing under them to run In
connection with this rond when it Is opened.
Already stock subscriptions to this road have been
made amounting to fWO.non, probably larger than
any stock subscription per mile yet made In this
State, unaided by municipal or corporate subscrip
tions. Owing to the excellent business tact ami
energetic management of the President, Hugh E
Steele, Esq., tho entire roadbed has been com
pleted, and the six thoiiBand tons of railroad track
needed have been enguged. Messrs. Atkinson &
Brother have furnished Hie iron from the Pottsvllle
Rolling Mills to Messrs. Malin A Duudore, contract
ors, of this city.
A careful personal examination enables ns to state
that the bridges, abutments, the entire masonry and
the whole roadbed arc most substantially con
structed. The road will be completed from Wil
mington to Coatesvllle by the 16th of next Novem
Ikt, and to Brdsboro' by the 1st of January,
1870. In this state of racts, the seven per cent, first
mortgage bonds, now offered to the public by
Messrs. William Painter A Co., are one or the best
investments in tho market sure, safe, and trust
worthy. As this loan is limited to ft, 250, ooo, Its ab
sorption will only be a question or a few weeks, or
possibly days.

From Our Own Correttponaent.
Utica, N. Y., Sept. 13, 1SG9.
When I went out yesterday afternoon for my "con
stitutional" I waa regaled with the sight of some
tirty remales, hair of whom I was informed were
lunatics, and the other half their attendants. They
had Just issued from the grounds of the State Luna
tic Asylum, and were conducting themselves more
quietly than some sane people, under the charge of
keepers, would have done. Some of the girls the
craziest ones, let me hope looked back, waved their
pocket handkerchefs, and betrayed other symptoms
of a desire for flirtation. But they were quickly,
checked by the attendants, and so the train passed
on, and were soon lost to sight.
I know not what the moral effect Is upon l't lea of
its having a lunatic asylum In the midst of It. A
recent volume gives an account of the city of Gheel
somewhere in Germany, I bellevo called the
'City of the Simple," from the fact of Its being
mainly Inhabited by lunatics. Asylums there are
open for their reception, and on such familiar terms
are tliey with the sane inhabitants, that they visit
around amongst them upon equal terms. Things
have not yet reached this pass in Utica. From tho
quantity or swine that infest the streets, however, I
should Imagine that every lover of neatness and
cleanliness could look back with longing to those
scriptural times when the presence of a drove of
swine Improvised a most speedy and effectual relief
to certain sufferers who were possessed or devils.
Of the post office in Utica I might say that It is in
finitely better than the collection of pigeon-holes and
rat-holes that goes by that name in New York. A
drive along Genesee street, from Slandlna street to
Oneida Square, and thence along the New Hartford
road to the village of that name, reveals many hand
some villas, some of which would not be out of place
up Spruce, or Pine, or Walnut streets, or along Gl
rard avenue. Another street, which is one or the
pleasantest In Utica, is Rutger street, running be-
tween Genesee street and "the Gulf" the "gulf"
consisting of a large abrupt chasm, in which sulphur
springs were once visible. In Rutger street Btamls
the fine old family mansion of Roscoe Conkllng,
above which floats the stars and stripes, lowered at
present at half-mast in respect to the memory
of Secretary Rawlins. Ex-Governor Sey
mour's city residence is situated on
Whitcsborough street, ami is occupied by
him and his family during the winter. His country
residence, where he is at present staying, Is in the
town of Deerfield, about four miles north of Utica.
The Butterfield House, situated at the southeast
corner of Devereux and Genesee streets, is owned
by the Hon. John Butterfield, father of General Dan.
Butterfield, tjie Individual who recently arrogated to
himself in New Y'ork the merit or having proposed
the subscription in favor of Secretary Rawlins'
family. John Butterfield Is the wealthiest man in
Utica, and bears the reputation of having done more
for that city than any of its other citizens. He lives
very handsomely on the New Hartford road. His
hotel, I regret to say, docs not pay very well. It Is a
large, rambling brick building, managed by j.
Charles Fox.
In connection with the visit which General Grant
was recently expected to pay to this part of the
country, but which he deferred on account of Secre
tary Rawlins' Illness, I might mention a little inci
dent. About two miles south of Utica la a little
place called New Y'ork Mills, where that celebrated
cotton cloth Is manufactured which is considered by
many superior to the Wamasutta. Mr. Samuel Camp
bell, one of the proprietors of the mills, resides here.
He lives moBt sumptuously, and is a great Importer
of English stock of all kinds. Mr. Campbell is a
very literal man, so much so that the workmen in
his manufactories live In the falrlest of little cot
tages, and think the sun rises and sets
on his account. When he heard that
Grant was about to visit Utica, ho determined, if
possible, that the President should pass a day and a
night at the New York Mills. Accordingly, he Im
provised a rustic reception, had the roads swept, the
cottages whitewashed, the manufactory festooned
with flags, and mottoes and words of welcome
erected. Finally, he paid 115,000 for a new barouche
in which to carry the President from the depot to his
residence. All in vain. About t20,000 were speut
altogether, but the inopportune death of Secretary
Rawlins put an end to Mr. Campbell's expectations
and expenditures.
Trenton Falls is a lovely little place, situated
eighteen miles northeast from Utica, but I had only
time to look around me there, aa I went and re
turned the same day. It Is reached by the Black
River Railroad, and fully repays a visit. Within a
walk of two miles there are no less than six distinct
cascades, varied with occasional rapids that are
scarcely less picturesque than the falls. The first
fall has a descent of twenty feet, commences up
stream, and Is called Upper Falls; the second, called
the Cascades, has an equal descent;
the third, the Mill Dam, also falls
the same distance; about forty rods below occurs
the High Falls, which separato into three distinct
cataracts whose total pitch is one hundred feet;
seventy rods below these are Sherman's Falls, forty
feet In depth ; and lastly, we arrive at Conrad's Falls,
whose pitch is twenty feet. The entire descent of
the falls from first to last is estimated at over three
hundred feet. Moore's Hotel the only one there of
any account proceeds on the principle that anything
worth having is worth being overcharged for.

"Haare" at lb Walnut.
Last evening Mrs. D. P. Bowers produced a new
play, written for her by Mr. Edmund Falconer, and
entitled Unarr; or, What Can't Mmty Dot aud for
some reason which we are not quite able to under
stand, it was received with much more favor by the
audience than the much Itetter piece with which
Mrs. Bowers commenced her eiigagemeut. We
mention this fact for the benefit of the theatre, for
if audi a piece of work suits the taste ol the public
there Is no reauon why the public should not enjov
it. We would always rather see full benches than
empty ones, If the performance is at all re
Hprciahle, even If it is not iMwslble to
bestow any very high comiueivtauou for
artistic excellence. Mr. Falconer has written some
very fair pieces, but of late he has turned out lit'l
that Is of value, and the works written by hi n for
Mrs. Bowers we are sorry for the sake of that IhiI
to say are alout his worst, Hnnr, ir not the w rst
of Mr. Falconer's effort, Is far from being the b st.
With a plot that ought to have some dramat'c In
terest If properly elabo ated, the play is bo ca-e-lcsslv
written, and the dialogue so thin and poo.1,
that, In spite of the very creditable efforts made by
the actors, many of the scenes that ought to have
been most thrilling excited more laughter than
sympathy.
The plot shows us how "Helen Thornley," s rich
widow, ont of her overpowering affection for "Henry
Melville," a nornier lover, now happily married to
another, determines to possess him at all hazards.
She therefore, with the aid of a rascally brother,
whose pecuniary difficulties make him reckless of
the means by which he obtains money, procures
"Melville's" arrest for debt, and has his wire and
child thrust out Into the street, "Mrs. Melville,"
overcome by cold, hunger, and distress, is picked up
for dead and is carried to the Morgue. By a very
peculiar coincidence the corpse Inside whom she U
placed exactly resembles her, and when she revives
'Henry Vanghan," the brother or the widow, pro
cures her Incarceration In a mad house, and has tho
corpse Identified by her relatives ami buried In her
name. "Henry Melville" Is Induced, without much
difficulty, to marry the widow out or gra .ltude for
tho pecuniary assistance which she renders him,
but he still retains a firm affection for
the memory or his first wile, whlc.it
excites the Jnalousy or his second spouse, who re
venges herseir by ill-treating his little girl. In due
time, however, the first wife escnpes from the nsr
lum, and to the utter discomfiture or her successor
and "Vaughan," she makes her appearance and
claims her husband and child. "Melville" expresses
a preference for wife number one, and to complete
the difficulty of wife numlter two she receives the
Intelligence that her first husband is not dead after
all, and that he entertains a strong suspicion that
she had endeavored to put him out of the way, all of
which is very satisfactory to "Melville" ami tho
original "Mrs. M.." who clasp their child to their
hearts, and the curtain descends upon a s.'cne of
domestic bliss that proves the truth of the adage
that "virtue Is Its own reward."
Mrs. Bowers played the pnrtof "CUra Melville,"
the heroine, with dignity aud expression, Out. her
powers were cramped by the platitudes or the piece,
and she appeared unable to put forth her whole
strength. Miss Annie Graham, who appeared tor
the first time this season, received a cordial welcome
from the audience. The part she had was an ungra
clous one, for "Helen Thornlev," iind her brother,
"Henry aughan," played by Mr. Walcot, aru two
of the most cold -blooded, business-like, and
utterly uninteresting villains that we ever
remember to have seen on the s!a?n. Miss Graham
was more natural and expressive as the cruel step
mother than as the plotting widow and usurping
wife, and there was a touch or genuine nature in
the spiteful tone with which she ordered her little
stepdaughter Into a corner that was quite refreshing
amid such dreary waste of insipidity. Mr. Walcot
acted the part of "Henry Yaugliau'' in an easy and
nonchalant manner, and he probubly made out of it
all that could be made. Mr. McCollom was also a
fair representative of "Henry Melville." and Mrs.
Walcot and Mr. Fawcctt aoted credibility the small
parts of "Mary Carey" nnd "Bob Brettle."
Mr. Falconer appears to have been troubled to
find a new sensation when he concocted this piece,
and the Introduction of the Morgue scene would Indi
cate thut the field of sensationalism Is beginning to
be tolerably well exhausted. Such a scene, It Is easy
to imagine, might be made disgustingly effective,
but the author uppears to have contented himself
with suggesting the horrible situation, ami the scene,
if not the weakest In the play, Is certainly not the
strongest. The piece contains a fair proportion or
high moral sentiments of a kind that an average
audience is tolerably sure to greet with applause,
but taking it for what it is worth as a dramatic per
formance, wo cannot refrain from savimr that It Is
very sorry stuff, utterly unworthy or tlie abilities of
so good an actress as Mrs. Bowers.
