DEF. A w ARE.

TNHE Town of Delaware is situated in Kan
II sas territory, on the south side OF the Mis-
| souri, river, three miles above the line Of the
Delaware reserve, and ten miles below Leaven-
worth city. This town was laid of and located
in February last, on tract of land densely tim
bered. easy of access from the surrounding
country and situated favorably for health: al
ready there are a number OF houses going up.
It has the following resources as good and
prominent point:
Firstly-A Good Landing.
The Missouri river at this point is compress
ed within narrow space, the channel is re-
markably deep on the Delaware side, and wash
es for mile above and below, the Kansas shore,
thus affording at all times safe and secure
landing for steamers.
The tract of land on which the town is laid
out, is covered with valuable timber, for build
ing purposes. besides this, there is on the opPo-
site side of the river a large bottom, heavily
timbered with oak, ash and walnut.
ThsrdHy-Its Position.
This town has on the Kansas side of the riv-
er supporting IT, large district of the very best
lands in the Territory, while on the opposite
side of the river there Is large and fertile bot
tom. teeming with population. This bottom is
of itself sufficient to sustain town Of large
size. This is the most accessible point from
which the Delaware nation Of Indians can pro-
cure their supplies. Delaware is the nearest
and most accessible point at which the country
on the Kansas river can do their receiving and
forwarding business. There are great num-
ber of towns on the Kansas that will find it to
their interest to make this place their chipping
point, among them we would name Osawkee
Calhoun and others. AS there is q good ferry
at this point. emigrants travelling to Kansas Ter
ritory on the great State road from st. Joseph
to st. Louis, will find that this is the proper
point at which to enter the territory, as by this
means they avoid 9 great deal Of unnecessary
travel.
Il q lit h.
This location is high ard commanding, hav-
ing no stagnant water near to generate disease
from its streets, there is presented to the eve
spendid view of the Missouri river for miles
above and below the town, the country In the
vicinity presenting view at once pleasing and
romantic.
| Every inducement will be given 10 mechanics
| to make Delaware the place Of their choice.
We ask each person to examine the place. The
merchant will find examination, that
Delaware is obliged to command trade not
second to any town In the Territory; from such
persons we ask an examination. In word
word we ask for Delaware an examination by
| the public.

GES. ScoTr on THE WAR-Genera
Scott has been expressing his opinion
touching the Eastern War. lie says
The allies committed a great blundcr in
delaying the attack upon Seva.topol rs long
as they did, that Immediately after the
raising Of the siege Of SIIis,ria they should
have attacked S,vastopol, at which time
there was a comparatively small force in
the Crimca that the allies cannot TAX Sc.
yastopol unless they receive rciniorcements,
giving th'm superiority Of fprcc to the
extent OF from thirty to fifty per cent. that
the Russian regular soldiers are the best
trops n the world fnr defense they never
ny but perish, unless ordered to retreat
lie thinks the allies labor under great
disadvantage in having two commanding
generals; that the road IN victory is through
unity Of design. The General further said
that the allies could not rc-embark now
without immense loss Of men and all The
materials Of war in camp, except the wca.
pons in their haHIs.

DrAn effort will he made in the General
Assembly, at the present session, to give
the Supreme Court concurrent jurisdiction
with the Cour, OF Common Pleas, on ap-
pealed cases ul der the Maine Law; or else
10 have more frequent sessions of the Court
Of Common Pleas. An attempt will also
be made to give little more vitality to The
Maine Law, by putting on a few mere
strengthening plas ters; well, we should
think that the last proposition was necessa-
ry, for it is very sick child and requires
great deal of nursing. But AS to The first
Sropoeition, we should hardly think that the
Assembly would lumber up the dockets Of
the Supreme Court, with these Rum cases,
when there is just as much business before
that tribunal all the time os the Judges can
sneld 20. And then, as to more frequent
Terms of the Court of Common Pleas
that would be almost impossible, for the
Court is in session large portion Of the
time now; and in Providence County, 80
great is the business already that two
Courts Of Common Pleas are in session
for a considerable portion of the time in
crcnsing tho Terms would only add to the
present embarrassment, in consequence OF a
multi plicity Of business.

ETHER FOR STEAM ENGIsEs.-It is said
that experiments have been recently making
at Toulon, on board fine steam vessel of
fourteen hundred tons, called the France.
with view TO testing the merits of Mr..
Trembley's method ol employing ether in
conjunction with steam on board steam yes-
sells, and thereby obtaining an inc crease of
motive power and diminuton Of expense.
The invention Of Mr.. Trembley is this -
In ordinary machines steam, after setting,
the cylnd,r in motion is condensed by mea s
Of injection Of cold water, and is then dis
charged with nearly the total loss of its
heat but on 4. Du Trembley's system
after moving the cylinder il is put in com.
munication with ether, which absorbs and
condenses IFS heat, and, instcnd of esca ping,
sets in motion the piston of o second cylin.
der. and 80 greatly increases the power of
the engines. The experiments were OBJ
served by number Of scientific gentlemen,
and were deemed successful. The move
mcnts OF the vessel were executed with more
than the usual regularity the average speed
attained was nine kpots, and the saving Of
fuel was estimated to be at least fifty per
cent. a full supply OF fuel Tor the France
would bc three hundred tons of coal and
four thousand kiogrammes (nine thousand
pounds) Of sulphuric ether.

EcsTATJc.-The Washington Union
finds inspiration and happiness in the com.
ing struggles of the Administration to main
tain its ground in New Hampshire and Vr-
ginia, and grows ecstatic over the pros
pcct. Hear it,
There is, however, in the struggles shot
ly to be decided in New Hampshire and
Virginia, an element which adds raptu,e
TO The STRIFE, and makes the immediate result
almost a subordinate consideration. This
is tn sacred cause and the ennobling prin.
ciples involved. Ambushed as are the foes
Of the Democratic party at this moment,
enough is known Of their plans to render
opposition an inspiring obligation. 1t is
much to feel that we are once more fight
ing against the very errors which drove our
fathers to arms which lost TO Great Br.
tain the control of this hemisphere; which
precipi,acd the revolution, and which as
pired to establish upon these shores mon
s!rous tyranny over the bodies as well rs
the minds of men. II is an erhil1rating re-
feciion to feel that if Jefferson, Washing
ton, Henry, Lee, Madison, Monroe, and
their compeers were now alive, the cause
OF the Democratic party would be their
cause, and the objects of the Know Moth
ings their horror and their scorn. 1t is
something to feel that We have an issue
that appeals 10 the intelligence and to the
judgment of nation, and that will perpet-
uate itself and the men who defend it
through coming time.
But there is very palpable letting down
in the next sentences which are in this
wise -
The democracy of Virginia and New
Hampshire have, however, another duty to
perform and TINT is, TO rescue the demo
cratic creed from the reckless Vaccinations
OF its foes, to,preserye il for future emer-
gencies, and to vindicate it from oboquy
and reproach. New Hampshire begins the
present struggle, She also commenced
the revolution. Let US hope that this au-
gury may prove to be fortunate Fortunate
was the gallant blow struck at Concord and
Lexington, followed up, Us it was, with per-
severance and courage, amid prvation and
disaster, till the cause OF our country finally
triumphed in Virginia on the glorious field
of Yorktown.

pWe publish in to days paper long

Rail Road in particular. We have exam
ined this subject with good deal Of inter
est, and, alter, a careful investigation Cf all
The facts in the case, without any previous
bias Of mind me way or the other, we are
clearly Of The opinion that Mr.. Hazard is
entirely wrong in all his movements. We
are satisfied that he is prompted simply by
selfish motives in the warfare lla, he has
commenced and is striving 10 carry Oh
against ih, Sronngtn Rail Road he en-
deavors To conceal both his motives and his
malce against lhi, Road, by placing his
pretended grievances upon plllanthropic

some instances Mr.. Hazard is rh.lap,hro.
pic man. but We cannot conscientou,y

because an investigation OF all Ihc facts
will not warrant us in so doing. In order
TO accomplish his object, if possible, Mr..

matter, thus hoping 10 enlist the sympathy

able To accomplish his object Let every

that no road would ever be constructed 10

not give him the consolation that he de-

very wrong one, and no intelligent mar,
