The Blue Hens Chicken.

Something more than week ago, we
received from Mr.. Jeandell the following
communication. We print it, because
every man has rightto make his defence.
A Grand Jury of this county indicted
him, for reasons, which SO far as made
public, have been given in this paper
he wishes TO speak to the people Of the
county IN relation thereto. and below he
has done 1t in his own way.
There is some mistake about the num-
Der of papers sent to thus oftice-and the
manner in which they come. Notwith-
standing what Mr.. Jeandcll says, and all
that The Chicken has SAID, prior to the
finding of the indictment, papers for a
number Of persons besides those named by
Mr.. Jtandel',-probably sometimes reach
ing to ten, came here in The bundle mule up
IN The Chicken office. Tn" statement IN
regard to the gratuitous papers sent here,
was given by us in our report Of the pro-
cecding in the Court as we gathered it at
the Court House. If anything We have
said on our own responsibility is qucs,ion-
cd, we know where we stand-wc have
the proof IN our hand.
With the denial that the paper is an
"alUlition' print we have nothing to do.
Those who have read it from time to time
will judge of that.

Obituary..

TIE DEATH OF MRS. BELL MARTIN, THE AUTHORIZES.
Yesterday morning, after short illness, Mrs Bell
Martin died at the Union Place Hotel in this city
About ten days since she arrived in this country from
ireland having been In feeble state for about thirty
days previously while shipboard After leaving
the shores of her native country, premature event
brought on q fever and Inflammation, frsm which she
never recovered. Her husband had paid unremtting
attention to her during the whole OF the voyage but
the want OF edcal assistance at the period
IN her malady permitted the disease to extend till 1t
was beyond the skill OF most eminent physicians
On her arrival apartm secured for her at the
the Union Place Hotel and every hour Of the day and
night all the assistance of Mr. Whseler, the proprie
tor Of the hotel and Of his lady with that of their
servants has been rendered and with the utmost
stancy and friendlness The attentions of the resi-
dents at the hotel also including several highly dis
tingushed families have been such strangers would
very strongly appreciate. Mr.. Bell Martin has been
soothed and consoled in this sudden bereavement
the most tender Offices of consolation, and has ex-
pressed his deep ofthe kind and hoptabe regard
of his new made friends
Mrs Bell Martin, formerly Miss Martin, was the
daughter Of the most wealthy commoner in England,
and her husband took her family by act of Par
lament She is the authoress of Julia Howard (by
Mrs Martin Belly recently published in this cty-s
work Of very great merit in which her estates de-
scrbed very infinitely while the story is fine picture
of life This her last work She wrote also,
raj other works. most Of them in the French language
These will be noticed at some future day, when We
shall give more full account of the deceased.
Mrs. Bell Martin had large estates In Ireland sub
ject to the usual m'fortunes of such property Her
tenants amounted to many a. twenty thousand and
her lands included over two hundred thousand acres
The income from the property has been absorbed In
improvements and removing membranes, and the
family has thus been left to rerench in measure
their expenditures. Mr.. and Mrs. Martin came to
this country with view to the ground work OF future
literary works Mrs. Martin, thus, had proposed TO
add to her fame by effort that would eclipse her
other productionsbut the hand Of death has inter-
posed The mind that projected Of ideal beauty
the soil Of the New Would, has taken lite flight Ii
cupg to lite tenement of clay revealing in dreams OF
fancy and loneliness while the body dead to
the pspgs Of disease, and at last quietly ascendea
from its earthly sphere into the happy hereafter.
MIS-. Martins remains will be placed temporarily, in
sepulchre and at convenient time will he removed
the Atlantic to the family receptacle Her hus
band has suffered deeply this sudden loss Of whose
genius was his idolstry; but the con dolence OF
strangers has had soothing effect upon his dis
tresssd mind and 10 TO be hoped that time will heal
in some measure the wounds with which he Is now
severely Afflicted

END OF SOCIALISM AND FeURIEEIsM IN THIS Me-
TRoroLs.-One of the results of the recent cleo
tons GEOGRAPHICALLY brought about by the late
Union meeting at Castle Garden-is the total de.
molition of socialism and Fouricrism, as applied to
political action in this city These sms, during
the last six or eight months, were set agong by
the Slievegammons Of the Tribune They contriv-
ed TO precipitste a dozen tailors-ignorant men
into prison for creating riot, and to set up few
shrewd fellows in cooperative SHOPS, to be used
for their own advantage, while the rest Of the
cialiss have been thrown overheard, and the whole
movement demolished altogether The few rcgues
have Slievegammoned the many fools and simple
tons

STEAM BETWEEN ANTWERP AND NEw YORK -
We understand that a company OF gentlemen, IN
Belgium, have subscribed half Of the sum neces-
cary to construct a line OF four splendid steamships.
to run between New York and Antwerp, on con-
dition that the other halt be made up ia New iork
An agent Of the compsny arrived here in the last
steamship from Europe, TO confer with our capital
ists and merchants on the subject We think he
will experience no difficulty in getting the other
half made up. Before 1--WE years we shall, in all
probability, have a line Of steamships from New
Yofk to each large commercial city in Europe
Sean will fulfil its destiny

A QUESTION LOOKING SoUTH.-What do the
Southern Press, at Washington and the Charleston
Mercury, mean by denouncing the recent Union
meeting at Castle Garden, and imputing humbug
and deception to that movement! This is precisely
an imputation of the same character as that which
the abotionsts here of the North charge against the
men who got up that assemblage The Tribune,
Erentng Post, and Nuo York Snr-all the aboli-
ton or niger organs, of various grades-denounce
that meeting as deception, humbug, cotton, cordu-
roy, and what not. Are our contemporaries in
Washington and in South Carolina determined to
put down all the efforts of those at the North who
have the interests and rights of the South at heart
and who are fighting their battles here at an awful
rate

New JERSEY ELECTIONS AND RAILROAD MoNoro-
LY.-The democracy have carried every thing in
the recent elections in New Jersey, and the old
wing monsposts have been entirely defeated
throughout the State Union feeling and free trade
have effected wonders. 1t is now expected that
great and successful effort will be made in the next
Legislature of that State, backed by popular opin-
ion, to throw of the railroad monopoly, or to mo-
dify it at least We want, however, to see no vio-
laton of vested rights. Let justice be done to all
parties, and, while monopoly is abolished, do not
injure the just rights of property, or sanction So
cialism, or communism of any kind.
