UsDEKGRoUsD RAILRoAD.--Another Travel
ler.--On Saturday last, MIR. John II. Graham,
of this town. sent young man in his employ,
who rejoced in the name of Henri de la Hamel,
to collect bills to the amount Of between $3.50
and s700., BY the young gentleman not max
ing his stately return in due time, the suspi-
cions of Mr.. G. were naturally aroused; and,
on Monday, he went in search Of the collector
finding him missing. but coming up with his
horse and carriage at Blackbrd. haPpears that
Monsieur Hamel decamped on Saturday night
Mr.. G. feared that the major part of the bills
had been collected, but has ascertained that the
collections amount only to between ninety ant
one hundred dollars. Mr.. G., il he loses il
others, is, doubtless, gamer this time from the
tardiness of debtors in paying their bills
Hamel had been in the employ of MIR. Graham
near year, and gained his entire confidence
He was from Louisiana, and represented him
self to be of the French and Creole extraction

The Delaware Gazette, in advocating the

Delaware though small, has not been in
the rear in filling with master minds even The
| highest positions. AS dlpl matIst, the name
OF Louis McLane still ranks with the foremost
of those which our country has produced; while
that of Clayton, although political uppunent,

present our readers, this week, with several
interesting original articles, which certainly
