BsE" The official declaration of the Admin
lStratIon, with regard to rights of uaturalzed
citizens, has been made public The State
Department had addressed a dispatch to the
American Minister at Berlin in relation to
the case of naturalized citizen of the United
States, native of Hanover who, upon his re-
turn, was compelled toperform military service
IN the Hanoverian army. The instructions to
the American Minister are definite. Our Co.
vernment refuses to recognizes the right of any
ioFe'gn Power to punish any naturalized citi-
zen OF the United States for misdemeanors
winch were not complete at the moment of his
eXpatrlation ; SO complete that he might have
tried aud punished therefor at the time of his
departure. With this single exception, na-
turalzed citizen returning to his native country,
returns as an American citizen, and as such is
placed under the protection of our laws. With
respect to the requirement of futare military
service, our Government denies the right to
lmyoSe such service upon the expatriated sub
Ject after he shall have become naturalized as
a citizen Of the United States. 1t is added
that any Infringement of these regulations will
involve the offending nation in serious difficult
ties with the United States.

New AND PROSPEROUS S -TrLEMENT. i am
monton on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad,
is lourishing village settled chiefly by New
EnglanderS, who wish to escape their frosty
climate, and by persons from the West, who
are engaged in the grape culture. One year
ago the settlement commenced and since then
has a population of fifteen hundred. They have
built abut three hundred houses, opened four
stores, several hotels one steam saw and plan
i"g mill and one water power saw and plan
ing mill, with schools, churches, and brick
yards. They haYe set out since, forty vineyards,
and in short, established a settlement, which
from the respectabity of the settlers, is destn-
ed to become one Of the most important and
influential places in the State OF New Jersey.
Grape growers are Of the opinion that the strip
of land between the Little and the Great Egg
Harbor rivers is the best for the vine, owing
to both soil and climate, of any that has been
found in the country. From the extent they
are entering into business, supply of pure
and unaduterated wines may soon be expected
They who have raised crops at Hammonton re-
present that the soil is very productive 1t is
not surprising that the place should increase so
rapidly, when it is considered the advantages
it presents over the West in health, climate
aud markets. Crops are secure from froSts,
that bIightiug enemy that robs the farmer of
the North of SO much of his labor and profit

pG7~ A painful accident happened on Satur-
day last on the Bloomsbury Railroad, near the
Bellevue mines Two waddIlng inHocents, less
than three years old, were playing on the track
just above the curve, when coal train glided
in sight Paralyzed with fear, they stood
stil one throwing its little arms about the
others neck. They were thrown down in the
middle of the track. Had they known enough
to keep perfectly still, they might have escaped
uniujured ; but they struggled repeatedly TO
rise, and were knocked down by the axIes
of the passing cars In their efforts to crawl
from beneath the moving cars they threw their
hands and arms across the rail. which Singh
lar to relate, were several times saved by Mr.
John Bound and his brother, who with
presence of mind and excellence o. feeling
worthy Of eternal remembrance had sprung
from the train to save them, il possible, and
stood by throwing their limbs off the track at
the imminent risk of their own. They made
4 narrow escape as it was, John having his
coat sleeve cut by one of the aXeS. Unfor-
tunatey their efforts were not successful. One
of the little things lost its toes and the other
leg, and both were considerably bruised
The latter has since died The other is in
fair way of recovering. The train was NOV
ing slowly at the time, or instant death would
have followed the first blow 1t is but proper
to mention that efforts on the part of the en-
gineer to save the children were unsuccesSfuily
made by the reversal Of the engine. The sud
den reaction threw the hrakemen from the
cars, while the lever was forced back and the
engine bounded forward with Increased veoci-
ty.
