FREE NEGROES IN DELAwARE.-The
Legislature OF Delaware has been lepis-
lating on the subject of free negroes in
that State. 1t Is proposed to remove
from the State the more worthless of this
unfortunate race, so as TO stimulate 9TH
ers to self-elevation and improvement.
The act also provides for the prevention
of the incursion Of the hordes of negroes
under pretcnce of attending meetings,
professions, &c.,-into Wilmington and
one or two other towns of the State.
Another and distinct law provides for
the binding OUT of all free negro children
between certain ages, to some useful av-
ocation or trade, so as to do away with
the wrotchcd manner in which ii is said
they generally are allowed to grow up
in vice and idlrness. The act provided
for their relief from their indentures in
all cases ofcruelty or bad treatment, and
also taken care Of their support and COIN
fort, and we believe also gives a stipu-
lated compensation.

proceedings that in the case of Chaplin,

Sc, with firearms, on the parties who
arrested HMM Montgo merry, Md, while
abducting the slaves of Mcssrs. Toombs
and Stevens from Washington, the re-
cognizance of $4,000 was yesterday
forfeited, by his non-appearance for
trial. This is as was expccted--his alb
clifton friends in the natural and mis-
chievous perversity Of their nature, pre-
ferring thus to rastc that amount rather
than do so practical good as TO devote
it to the purchase of some Of those wor-
thy colorcd people whose honest efforts
to obtain freedom deserve the sympathy
and often receive the assistance of slave
holders as well as others.-The money
forfeited is perfectly secure to the State,

TIE AUSTRIAN CoNTRovERsY.-The
letter Of Mr.. Webster to NJ. Huscman,
the Austrian Charge d'Afaires in Wash
ington, relative to the mission of Mr..
Mann TO Hungary, was duly commune
Gated by the Charge to the Austrian
Government. In letter of the 18th
inst, Mr.. II. advises Mr.. Webster that
the Austrian Government is not con-
WINGED by the arguments of Mr.. WIS
letter, but that it valves all further dis
cussion Of the subject, as they are I'M
willing to expose the friendly relations
between The two Governments to the
danger of interruption by it. Mr.. Web
ster makes brief and fitting reply, and
thus the matter ends.

ROOFING THE EBRIcKSoN BoATs.-
Richard Wingate, John Her, John Price
and Francis DevaHnger We're committed
to the Elkton Jail on Thursday, charged
with stealing goods, going through the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal, on the
above named boats, or with receiving
and secreting the same. A large quanii-
ty of goods--silks and other valuable ar
ticles--were, we understand, found in
their houses. 1t is confidently asserted
by some, that Wingate and Devalinger
were not aware the goods were stolen
when they were placed in their posses
sion. 1t is stated that large robberies
have been committed on these boats, and
it is hoped the true offenders will be
brought to justice.
P. S. We learn that Devalinger was
not committed to Jail, but gave bail.

you viii get into the rulgar again
Mr.. E. tells us that the Order "has
buccaneercd into its ranks the most
jealous of the Temperance men of for
mer times" and that scarcely one third
of them now remain-this part of the
assertion needs proof)-thcn where are
the other two thirds all jealous tenn
perancc men of the old school. Are
they spreading the principles of temper
ancc, and erecting society to "super-
cede this rotten concern /" We hear
nothing from them except when some
blind zealot or some foul slanderer vents
forth his surplus spleen upon the Order.
Are they Jealous temperance men! No.
They are i'll most instances, either Mig
gardly, narrow hearted bcings,sor weak,
wavering creatures, tossed about by ev-
cry "wind Of doctrine" The seed fell
in stony places-there was no depth of
moral principle-a sickly profession
was the legitemate product of this bar
rem soil, end withered by the MONDAY
sun, 1t fell again upon the soulless breast
from whence ii cmanated. Like the
blighted reed it will not even rot, but
st remains to mark the bosom whence
TRUTH has taken its eternal fight"
and the passing wind howls through its
sapless shreds the requiem of VIRTUE.
LEFT it in disgust" says Mr.. E. Aye!
"in disgust" Of "TuM, Justice, Iem.-
perance and Huma0ity." Had enry,
Slaader and malice been its cardinal prin-
cirles, then you had found congenialty.
Attached to the Order in your own
neighborhood Mr.. +. are men who have
done more to promote tile cnuse of tenn
perauce than YOU could effect in a life
time, and the adherents 10 the Order in
every community, are recognised as
faithful, responsible and effective tenn
pcrance men--thc reverse being true,
in most cases, of those who have apoS-
tatised.
In your last article you say my sword
does not pass at par in the Whig."
Now sir, take notice: in former COM
munication pronounced your assertions
''tase and slanderous.' Did you meet
the charge like an honest man and sus-
tain your position No! like a guilty
coward you lodged the issue, and at
tempt to hide your own disgrace by ma
ligning me. stand prepared to prove
every word in my articles and dare you
to point out one sentence that will not
bear the test. SONNY.

FOUND DEAD.-A man named David
Rogers, eyed about so years, was found
drowned in the Little Elk, a short dis
lance above Elk Landing, on Sunday
last. He was near the shore and was
holding to boat with one hand and to a
jug of whiskey with the other. Intoxi-
cation undoubtedly led TO his death.
OFF TIE TRACK.-The cars ran of
the track about half mile west of Elk
ton on Sunday night last. No person
was injured, nor were the cars damaged,
but the engine was not got on the track
again until Thursday. The accident
was caused by rail being loose and
slipping TO one side.

Gen. McDuHe.

Gen. George McDuffie, of S c., is
dead, after a protracted and painful i'll
ness. He entered Congress in 1921,
and served fourteen years succrssively
in the House; was then eight years out
OF Congress, until 1913, when he was
elected to the Senate, in which he serv-
ed nearly or quite six years, when in
creasing and painful infrmities compel
led his retirement from public life.
We believe he was Governor of South
Carolina, during the hiatus between his
Withdrawal from Congress as Repre-
sentative and his return as Senator. He
was statesman of decided talent and
effective eloquence.
Mr.. McDufie came into Congress
warm advocate of the political doctrines
now denounced as National or FEEDER
al having with Mr.. Calhoun carried
South Carolina in their favor against a
strong opposing party which was then
termed Radical and regarded William
II. Crawford of Georgia as its leader.
Circumstances aiterward carried Mr..
Calhoun square round to the doctrines
which in his earlier career he had ve-
hcmently and dramatically opposed,
and Mr.. McDuhie changed with him.
Mr. Calhoun opposed Gen. Jackson's
anti-Banl: foray; and of course Mr.. Nc
Duttle did likewise; ditto when Mr.. Cal
houn tackled again, and became leader
Of the Hard Money In the earl:-
er portion of his public career, his hos
fifty to Mr.. Crawtord's pretensions
brought him into collision with some of
the Georgia Hotspurs, whereof one con-
sequence was duel with Col. Cunning
OF that State, wherein neither party lost
much blood nor won much glory. A
second meeting took place, but was
equally inconclusive. Yet, if we mis-
take not, Mr.. McDufiie was winged in
another duel, but whether earlier or la
ter we cannot now recollect. We re-
member well, however, that he once
challenged Gen. Thomas Metcalf cold
Stone-hammer) in consequence of some
alteration in the House, growing out
of the Bargain and Corruption calum-
ny, which Nc countenanced but when
the kentuckian named rifles as the
weapons and fifteen PAGES as the dis
lance, the Carolinian declined the terms,
alleging some bodily defect or infrmitv.
Mr.. McDutc was an honorable, high
soulcd man, and deservedly enjoyed
high consideration through long and
arduous public life.-.N. Y. TriJune

VALEDrcTony OF TIE TURKISH Envoy.
On Saturday last, Amin Bey, the
Commissioner Of his Imperial Majesty
the Sultan Of the Ottoman Empire to the
Government of the United States, was
received by the President On Tie occa-
sion of his taking leave of him to return
to Constantinople. The several mem
bers Of the Cabinet were present, and
Amin Boy read an address of which a
translation is published.
The Envoy remarks that the chief OBJ
ject Of his visit was the strengthening of
those relations of friendship which have
always existed between the Sublime
Porte and our Government, and, he
trusts, that such has been its result He
expresses his gratitude forthe unboundcd
hospitality and decorum, public and pri-
vate, extended TO him throughout the
country, and says:
'During the extensive tour which
have made, have observed with mcom-
mon qualification the political, social, and
civil institutions of your great country,
ana l.t resources Oh inc nation, the en-
tent Of their commerce and agriculture,
and the wonderful progress which, in so
brief il space Of time, the people of the
United States have made in the various
branches ofpublic industry; also, the nu-
merous railroads, canals, and other use
full works which their talents and indus
try have achieved; and, moreover, have
everywhere witnessed the superior in
telligcnce of the people of the United
States, which has elevated them to their
present eminent degree ofprosperity."
The Presidents reply is wisely and
happily conceived; speaks of Amin Bey's
mission here as one of the incidents of
the age worthy Of note-compliments
his excellent character, and says:
"On your departure we make you
bearer Of our respects to the Sultan,
your intelligent sovereign, and commend
you to the protection Of the Almighty"
